His Jewish remarks
Kanye talked about how 50% of black fatalities are through abortion. He also added that ” It’s not the officer with the knee, it’s not gang violence and Black-on-Black violence, it’s not heart attacks, it’s abortion. The most hazardous location for a Black person in America is in their mother’s stomach.”
kanye also talked about when he had to go to the hospital and was served by a Jewish doctor.
Here is his hospital experience.
There was a Jewish trainer who took me to the hospital and told the press that I was there.” “A Jewish doctor diagnosed me,” West claimed, as Fridman pressed him on why he kept emphasizing the doctor’s Jewishness. “Because they were,” West explained. “They diagnosed me with bipolar illness and gave me medication.” Then run it through the press… And every time, even if I wore a hat that an n—er isn’t meant to wear, they instantly say, ‘he’s off his s-t, he’s off his medicines, he’s off his rocker.’ And it serves as a scarlet letter control mecha
