The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) called US rapper Kanye West�s anti-Jewish remarks, in a radio interview last week, �Classic Anti-Semitism.�
�If the comments are true as reported, this is classic anti-Semitism,� ADL national director, Abraham Foxman, said in a statement. �There it goes again, the age-old canard that Jews are all-powerful and control the levers of power in government. As a celebrity with a wide following, Kanye West should know better. We hope that he will take responsibility for his words, understand why they are so offensive, and apologize to those he has offended.�
The following is a transcript from Mr. West�s rant:
�Man, let me tell you something about George Bush and oil money and Obama and no money. People want to say Obama can�t make these moves or he�s not executing. That�s because he ain�t got those connections. Black people don�t have the same level of connections as Jewish people. Black people don�t have the same connection as oil people. You know we don�t know nobody that got a nice house. You know we don�t know nobody with paper like that we can go to when we down. You know they can just put us back or put us in a corporation. You know we ain�t in situation. Can you guarantee that your daughter can get a job at this radio station? But if you own this radio station, you could guarantee that. That�s what I�m talking about.�

Maybe if they learned how to talk English they could get a better job! Maybe if they got an education instead of stealing and robbing, they could get a better job and a nicer house. No one is stopping these people except themselves.
Maybe obama should say if he had a son he would talk like that.
No. 1: Have you considered the possibility that if President Obama had a son, he would not talk like Kanye West? And since the president does have 2 daughters, we have a pretty good idea of how any Obama child would talk. And, frankly, from the posts of yours that I have read, they probably talk better than you.
nfgo,
according to that reasoning his son wouldnt be wearing a hoodie, like trayvon was, and instead wear a sweater, possibly some glasses.
No. 3: Is your comment intended to question my reasoning? Or question the wearing of a hoodie (like my children wear to their cheder)? Are you suggesting that President Obama’s son would wear a dress, since his daughters do?
