Kanye West Lashes Out at 'Jewish Zionists' on 'Drink Champs'

[Behind the Aegis]

After a controversial and troubling couple of weeks, Kanye West returned to Drink Champs for Round Three with hosts N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN. While the 45-minute interview hasn’t been posted to YouTube, it can be viewed on the Revolt TV website.

After a brief introduction, West immediately went into a diatribe about “the Jewish people,” arguing that he’s not an anti-Semite because he’s also a Jew “as the blood of Christ.” However, he then went on a rant about how the Jewish people control all facets of media and entertainment, even blaming “Jewish Zionists” for recent news stories about how his ex-wife Kim Kardashian and her ex-boyfriend Pete Davidson (who Kanye called “a heroin addict”) have sex in front of a fireplace.

“Jewish people have owned the black voice,” West said. “Either it’s through us wearing the Ralph Lauren shirt, or it’s all of us being signed to a record label, or having a Jewish manager, or being signed to a Jewish basketball team, or doing a movie on a Jewish platform like Disney. I respect what the Jewish people have done, and how they brought their people together.”

West also complained about how Dov Charney — the (Jewish) Los Angeles Apparel founder who printed Kanye’s controversial White Lives Matter Shirts — refused to release the shirts after West’s “Death con 3 on Jewish People” tweet; Charney encouraged West to visit the Holocaust Museum, to which West told him to visit Planned Parenthood, “our Holocaust Museum.”

Maybe some of his fans got the wording confused like their hero.

1. "Planned Parenthood is our Holocaust Museum"

Just when I thought I couldn't have any less respect for the guy.

3. Much worse than calling them "part of the Establishment."

2. He's awful

and while I never liked Kim Kardashian for what she represented... I'm further side-eyeing her for choosing to marry someone who spouts shit like this.

People keep excusing this with mental illness and "he's never been the same since his mom died."

I counter that with he's always been a stupid ignorant man. He may be mentally ill, but the racism comes from the former.

4. I do not for a moment believe his mental health issues resulted in these views, albeit it has likely

removed any filter from repeatedly expressing them and escalating them.

I have no sympathy left, for him as I would normally have for someone with similar issues. He has every available access to any and all help, yet he is here now, apparently refusing such intervention.

And, yeah, despite my continued issues with Kim and her family, I have to respect her doing what she could repeatedly to help him in the past and yet drawing the line in the sand now--cutting him off to protect her children

Controversial social media networking site Parler says it is being acquired by Kanye West. The platform, a favorite among American conservatives, made the announcement in a blog post Monday.

West, who now goes by the name “Ye,” said in a statement: “In a world where conservative opinions are considered to be controversial we have to make sure we have the right to freely express ourselves.”

6. Gop Tweet:

Kanye. Elon. Trump.

They weren't lying.

That is their party now.

Narcissistic and chaotic men.

Cool.

7. It always comes back to the Jews with these people.

8. I don't know how many other Jewish people are like me.

I was born Jewish, but I now do not believe in any religion but do believe in a God. But it doesn't matter anymore than it mattered in Germany. I was born in America, but I don't think of myself as American as much as I think of myself as a Jew living in America. I wonder how many Jewish people think the same. Israel has nothing to do with this.

9. I'm confused. I thought the left were anti-Jewish and that Jewish people

never had a better friend than their boy Trump??
