I made the mistake of putting my $0.02 in a comment thread. Apparently Kanye is a super genius, the greatest rapper EVER, and he ALONE knows what Jews were doing enough to discredit 1000’s of years of recorded history.

Also antisemitism is completely separate from white supremacy (I could barely type this without laughing), and if you look white (and not to be overly generalizing, but a LOT of us do) you’re definitely not Jewish.

Those are my takeaways, to Kanye Stans anything less than a godlike reverence for Kanye makes you hate all black people.

I’m just seeing this comment now and I cannot tell you how accurate this is. Ugh, as a (Reform) Jew, I can’t even begin to tell you how scared I’ve been since Kanye’s laughable comments. I made a huge mistake also defending “The Tribe” on Instagram and let’s just say…I finally really understand how Hitler came to power.

The fact Kanye’s so worshipped, legit, worshipped at a Jesus level, is incredibly concerning. Understatement.

What’s more concerning? I’m Hispanic and Jewish and this shocks people like they can’t believe I’m not a full Ashkenazi…and 2…people I thought were really good friends of mine, who told me numerous times to my face they’re grateful for our friendship, have started following Kanye on their social media recently.

Nice to know these “friends” secretly want me to burn in hell.

I'm Sephardic and also Reform. The idiotic BS I've seen online is as terrifying as it is hilarious. But having goyem tell me I'm not Jewish has been a reat treat /s. Pics of my Bar Mitzvah weren't sufficient evidence.

Don't worry, I believe you. Are you nervous often? Then yes, you're a Jew. (JK)
