Ye might change mind about Hitler if he knew history
By Gillian Brockell / The Washington Post
Rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, continued his antisemitic last week with an appearance on conspiracy theorist Alex Joness show, in which he repeatedly praised Nazis and Adolf Hitler.
Specifically, Ye said, I like Hitler, I love Jewish people, but I also love Nazis, and, I see good things about Hitler, like, he claimed, Hitlers invention of highways and microphones. (Hitler did not invent highways or microphones.)
Hitler, as leader of the Nazi party, oversaw the murder of 6 million Jews and countless others he deemed inferior to pure Germans, including Polish, Roma and Sinti people, gay people and people with disabilities.
And there was another group Hitler targeted that Ye may be less familiar with: Black people. Hitler thought Black people were inferior and dirty. Black Germans were sent to concentration camps, Black children were forcibly sterilized and African American and African French prisoners of war were often subjected to worse treatment by German captors, including summary execution, according the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.

(161 posts)The approximate time kids are deemed mature enough to handle a more in-depth study of the holocaust. My grandparents brought me on a tour of the holocaust museum in New Orleans around that age. Whats Kanyes excuse for doing anything other than a Mel Brooks take on Nazis and Hitler?

(27,942 posts)delusional framework built around a belief in white supremacy, anti-semitism, and fascism. If he doesn't accept the evils of slavery, the reality of the Holocaust, and the continuing issue of institutional racism, then I doubt he'd believe any history book that countered those beliefs. The guy hangs out with Donald Trump, Nick Fuentes, and Alex Jones. That says it all.
