IS KANYE WEST’S APOLOGY WORTH ONE BILLION DOLLARS?
Once again, it appears that a well-known celebrity is embarking upon an apology tour after public pushback against disgusting remarks.
| “I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for any unintended outburst caused by my words or actions, it was not my intention to hurt or disrespect, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused,” West wrote. “I am committed to starting with myself and learning from this experience to ensure greater sensitivity and understanding in the future. Your forgiveness is important to me, and I am committed to making amends and promoting unity.” |
After losing major sponsorships and the condemnation of a major segment of the public, will anyone buy a spin-doctor-created apology that was translated into Hebrew? Has Kanye West changed his stripes, or is he responding to the pressure of those whose livelihoods he impacts?
Considering much of the black population is racist and, in particular, anti-Semitic, I have every reason for challenging Kanye’s sincerity after claiming to admire Hitler and threatening to go “death con 3 on Jewish people.”
Recently, at a Las Vegas “listening party,” Kanye said, “It’s 60 million of us in America, 60 million Jews in the world,” and claimed Jewish people own all the hospitals and private schools in the United States, even though the worldwide Jewish population is 15.2 million Jews. He also screamed, “Jesus Christ, Hitler, Ye! Sponsor that!!!”
With his daughter North in attendance and his collaborator “Ty Dolla $ign” standing next to him, he rapped, “I still keep some Jews with me. Management? Nah. I only let ’em do my jewelry.”
Bottom line…
Kanye, you sick anti-Semitic motherfucker…
We are so screwed when we make heroes and billionaires out of anti-Semitic sleezebags.
Sorry, I cannot find forgiveness for someone who continually degrades other people, especially women” with his racist and misogynistic raps and calls it art. There is a line between artistic freedom and responsibility to one’s audience that, once crossed, precludes a return to former fame and fortune.
