AllHipHop News (http://bit.ly/18vzPbM) reports that the Jewish Anti-Defamation League released a statement earlier this month asking West to apologize for comments he made during an interview with The Breakfast Club.
During the interview, Kanye stated, “Black people don’t have the same level of connections as Jewish people.” Abraham H. Foxman, ADL’s national director, said the statements were “classic anti-Semitism” and that they reinforced the stereotype that Jewish people are “all-powerful and control the levers of power in government.”
According to Farrakhan, Kanye should not apologize because nothing that he said was false.
“Did he lie? No, he told the truth,” says Farrakhan in a video address.
Farrakhan also added, “You know what Mr. Foxman? I wish you and I could have a dialogue. You wouldn’t put that smalltime stuff over on me that you put on scared to death negroes, that if they mention Jew and you call them anti-Semitic they start bowing to you and your pressure. Kanye West don’t bow to the pressure to apologize to anybody. You said nothing wrong.”
Farrakhan and the NOI are preparing for the 2014 Saviours’ Day convention that will be held February 21-23 at Detroit, Michigan’s Cobo Center February 21-23.
Both of you, do the world a favor. Drop dead.
I agree with this tinuf (farrakhan Ym’sh), West is right!!!! We are more connection than them…….because we work for it, and earn it!
who cares what he has to say ….the dude is 80 years old!!! damn..he looks young.
Why is this vile man in the news. Who cares about him??
Why is this man still alive?
I agree that this shmutz Kanye West shouldn’t apologize. I’m sick of the false apologies, who needs it? Does it really make any difference to hear lies coming out of their mouths? Let the world see what animals they are and how proud they are of their behavior.
Fakaraka is still around ! Thought the weasel had returned to earth!
please don’t put that garbage on the air, he has no sense at all
President Obama called West a “jackass”.
I presume that some of the Obamahaters will now decide that they will support these two anti-Semites instead of our President.
Hhmmmm who is the president? A Jew, right… Oh forgot he’s black and not Jewish at all.
at the end of the video farkan basically says that he is Yushke incarnate. woopdedoo he is nuts.
Drop dead farrakahan
Reply to 9. You mean there are vin readers that are among the 38% that still believe in Obama?
At some point you will want to open your eyes and your ears and start looking for any correlation between what this man says and what he actually does!
“During the interview, Kanye stated, ‘Black people don’t have the same level of connections as Jewish people.’ “
This is completely untrue. If I wanted to buy an illegal gun, or drugs, I would have absolutely no idea how to go about it, and I do not believe that I have any connections that could help me in that regard.
Say what you will, that man is a snappy dresser. Love that light blue bow tie.
And comment # 2 you hit the nail on the head. When someone has a supportive family, works hard, and had a moral compass, their chances for success are far greater than a person who lacks such qualities. If Jews have “connections” aka achievement, it is through effort exerted not through handouts.
