Kanye West recently caught flack for making a statement about Jewish people during an interview with Power 105.1’s Breakfast Club. In the interview, Kanye said, “Black people don’t have the same level of connections as Jewish people. We ain’t Jewish. We don’t got family that got money like that.”
The Anti-Defamation League found Kanye’s remarks offensive and suggested that he make an apology. Minister Louis Farrakhan countered the Anti-Defamation League by saying that Kanye didn’t need to apologize because he, “told the truth.”
Kanye never apologized, but he did explain his comments during a recent interview with B96 radio in Chicago.
Kanye said, “I think that it was kind of like an ignorant compliment, I don’t know how being told that you have money is like an an insult. That would be like if somebody complimented black guys and said, ‘All black guys have big penises.’ You don’t want to be the black guy who raises his hand and says like, ‘That’s not true. I have proof!’”
