Rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, continued his antisemitic last week with an appearance on conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’s 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, Hitler’s 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.
