Rapper Kanye West told a Chicago radio station last week that he wants to take back the “ignorant compliment” he made about Jews last month during an interview on the New York City radio station WWPR-FM. West said, “Black people don’t have the same level of connections as Jewish people,” claiming his words have been misunderstood.
“I thought that I was giving a compliment, but if anything, it came off more ignorant. When I said this comment about Jews having money and blacks not having money, I think that it was kind of like an ignorant compliment. I think it was an ignorant compliment,” West told the Chicago B96 radio station.
“I don’t know how being told you have money is like an insult… I thought by saying everybody had money that would be a compliment. It was an ignorant compliment. Maybe I would like to take that statement away,” he added.

we are fighting a war with the zonists and this is called news
The reason it was an insult is because it was the same statement made by the president (the one that ticked people off so much) “you didn’t build that” The reason people are successful shouldn’t be because of people they know but rather how hard they work
Very eloquent…
Attention YWN: Kenya is the country our liar in chief, obama was born in. Kanye is the name of the ignorant rapper.
Boy if every time a white said something deragotory about Kanye West’s people would just be able to wipe it away with an excuse like that many whites would still be employed. But alas we do t get away with that so we get fired or suspended or accused if the worst crimes.
Number 1: you are fighting a war wioth fellow jews? be ashamed of yourself. I hope that you are never required to be in Ertetz Yisrael and be protected by the “evil zionists” who protect your fellow jews and even those who stupidly call them evil. You are at war with yourself and recall that the Bet Hamikdash was destroyed because of people with similar views.
Maybe he meant to say that Black people don’t have the same kind of connections to their own people as we do. They don’t have g’machs and who ever heard of a “Tomche Sunday”?
Kanye West spews a lot of garbage, not limited to his art (sorry, I cannot call it music). Why do people even give him the time of day to be interviewed about topics other than his art (and now I feel bad calling it art, because that puts down talented people like Monet and Van Gogh and Beethoven). This isn’t the first time he’s said something disgusting or otherwise extremely stupid. I think that the world should care as much about what him and his pointless views as he claims former President Bush cares about his ethnic group, instead of caring about him as much as former President Bush actually did.
Number 6 the war of chanika was with other jews it was still right
