I don’t think he dislikes Jewish people. What he tweeted was clearly showing what he’s got a problem with and it’s not Jewish people as a people. Unless I’m mistaken
@Undisclosed here you go a fresh example of denial
Usury did play a role but I would also point out that finance capital simply didn't play as big of a role under feudalism. The rulers couldn't have predicted that capitalism would appear and that financiers would become much more important than landlords.
So then I wouldnt say nobody wanted to be financiers and landlords i would say instead they were early on it somewhat having a headstart advantage
I just honestly dont think working with real estate and money was looked down upon i think it was just new to americans from that time

No way we still have people trying to give him the benefit of the doubt
Also to understand why Muslims are not as represented in finance is that dealing in interest is forbidden. As far as I know not forbidden in Judaism.

We got stage 1 of grief right here

It’s funny, just on Thursday I was reading this article from Jewish neocon rag (at the time they were just turning neocon) Commentary Magazine published in April 1969 that was part of a series of articles about the growing anti-Semitism in certain then-burgeoning currents of Black radical thought and how “Jewry” should respond.
Towards the end of the article, when considering the question of “what is to be done,” the author writes:
“In the case of less virulent organizations and individuals, our first effort should be to contact the people concerned by having those they consider friends talk to them and attempt to convince them they are wrong, and that what they are doing is bad for blacks and bad for the country.
In other words, our response should be carefully proportioned to the kind of circulation that black anti-Semites can develop on their own. If they themselves can only reach a small audience, we should be sure that, in attacking them, we do not make it possible for them to reach a large audience. Thus, the FM station WBAI in New York City gives time to Leslie Campbell to read an anti- Semitic poem and to Julius Lester to attack Jews, but has a very small listening audience, prob- ably made up largely of Jews. The Jewish organizations should use their weight to make strong private representations to WBAI, and to urge Jews, if these representations are not taken seriously, to discontinue their financial contributions to the station.
One reason for following this course as far as possible is that the black militant leaders themselves are in constant and fierce competition for publicity-they have little organized support, and their power is based on access to the TV news media and the newspapers. When they gain such access, their position as spokesmen or leaders is enhanced. If they resort to anti-Semitism, we should try, as private citizens exercising our democratic right of protest, persuasion, and pressure, to deny them this access.”
I think that of course we can’t quite ignore Kanye when he tweets stuff, but it is probably best not to give oxygen to randos on Twitter who we all agree are execrable already.
Funny thing is that most of the anti-semitism coming out of the Black radical movement was a part of COINTELPRO’s division tactics with the left
FBI was writing anti-black Jewish material as well as anti-Semitic black radical material under psuedonyms
They also may have played a role in propogating the NOI “Jews ran the slave trade” thing in terms of taking advantage of organic anti-Semitism in that movement

let's engage in critical thinking
kanye tweets about going sicko mode on jewish people
then he invokes the 21st century version of the jewish question
how are we feeling so far
@Undisclosed here you go a fresh example of denial
I’m not denying that these people exist unfortunately, just personally it’s hard for me to see the line between spreading awareness and spreading propaganda.
But I guess it could be taken as either depending on who reads it.

A shameful bit of American history. Thankfully safely sequestered in the past, and all of the extremism we see on the Internet today is entirely organic
ngl for the last 3 hours i’ve been listening to kanye reading this thread
