Oh boy, I came across one of those things people like to notice. I feel like you guys could just absorb and examine the darkness from this write up. https://lilith.org/articles/debut-81/

This comment will probably offend some people. Don't care.

What Kanye said wasn't offensive to me. At least what you read doesn't offend me. From what I could see, he was talking about Jewish people, not Jews. A massive antithetical there. For some reason, he has a problem with the people who for various reasons (none of them good) have rejected Torah and Tanakh. I'm not about to get offended on behalf of lawless people who believe in nothing.

Clueless people who maintain this false reality are what offends me. Ultimately, they're the reason we were scattered to the four corners of the earth, back in the day.

I would like reiterate that I dont have an interest in Kanye as a friend or an ally or as anything. Im personally not concerned with anything he thinks or says. I talk about him because people that I do care about are concerned with his input.

From other comments that I have heard him say over the years, my impression is he believes only black people are the 'real jews' and the 'lost tribes'. I not sure what your ethnic background is but a lot of my jewish brethren are saying what you are saying , that he is only complaining about jews that rejected Torah. However he never made any such distinction, nor did he ever say anything like "I dont mean all of them but rather just those who....." or " ...look the experiences I have had with jews has been..... but I haven't really met with Jews from the orthodox community........ In his mind, the Jews he met in his shitty industry are a perfect example of all of us and he is not interested in exploring anything that would change his opinion.
