Kanye West and
Bieganski, the Brute Polak
Kanye West is an American rap celebrity.
He was married to Kim Kardashian. He is known for making outlandish public
statements. After Hurricane Katrina, during a live, televised Red Cross fundraising
event, he blurted out that "George Bush doesn't care about black
people"
When Taylor Swift, a white woman, was on
stage accepting a VMA award in 2009, West jumped onstage and shouted that Beyonce,
a black woman, should have won.
Kanye West's ex-wife and the mother of
his four kids, Kim Kardashian, divorced him, and then she began dating mystery-celebrity
Pete Davidson. Davidson is a mystery-celebrity because he is ugly, and he has
no talent nor charisma. It's a mystery why he is famous. Kanye West made a
video that appeared to show him kidnapping, decapitating, burying, and
threatening Davidson. This violent, threatening video is still on YouTube,
which has banned and shadow-banned forthright discussions of jihad and gender
apartheid.
And that's all I know about Kanye West.
Until recent days, when Kanye West began
making outlandish, overt, anti-Semitic statements.
It must immediately be said that West
was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
It must also immediately be said that
one can be mentally ill and also be a dirtbag who has earned himself a good
ass-kicking, literal or metaphorical.
Kanye West is spreading hate. His statements
can be found all over the web; no need to repeat them here. This behavior is
disgusting. I'm glad numerous economic powerhouses have cut highly lucrative
deals with West.
Here's what's unfortunate. Too many of
those criticizing West for his dissemination of hatred are criticizing him for
wearing a t-shirt that read, "White lives matter."
Not for the anti-Semitic filth he's been
spouting. For his stating the simple truth that white lives matter.
Yes, white lives matter. Yes, as West
insists, abortion ends a human life.
Someone can be mentally ill, and an
anti-Semite, and still occasionally say true things. That our current Woke
Overlords label "White lives matter" hate speech is soul chilling. Clearly,
white lives do not matter to our Woke Overlords.
There's another aspect to West's
anti-Semitic outbursts that is germane to the Bieganski, Brute Polak
stereotype. I can't think of a single Polish-identified American celebrity, so
let's invent one. If a Polish-American superstar of West's wattage said many of
the same things Kanye is saying, that imaginary Polish-American superstar's outburst
would *immediately* be related to the Polish-American's identity.
African American celebrity Kanye West
says hateful things about Jews because he is mentally ill and paranoia is one
symptom of bipolar disorder. So far, so good.
A posited Polish-American celebrity would
be diagnosed as having said hateful things because of his Polish identity.
Kanye West is black, and black identity
is protected in America, and I haven't yet found an article relating West's
anti-Semitism to a significant amount of anti-Semitism among African Americans.
If you find such an article, please
alert me.
In the case of a Polish-American celebrity
saying anti-Semitic things, this is what would happen. Alan Dershowitz, the ADL,
Jan Grabowski, Jan Tomasz Gross, and others would be all over the media
bemoaning the "fact" that Poles "suckle anti-Semitism with the
mother's milk," as Israelis like PM Yitzhak Shamir, Acting Foreign
Minister Israel Katz, and Haaretz journalist Israel Harel have repeatedly said,
in exactly those disgusting, misogynist, and racist words.
The Polish-American celebrity's comments
would never be understood as manifestations of mental illness. They would be
attributed to an ineradicable Polish essence, a biological, spiritual, and
cultural essence that Jews must always hate. And if you don't believe me, read
Yitzhak Shamir's, Israel Katz's, Israel Harel's comments.
Of course not all African Americans are
anti-Semites, but ADL surveys report the following: "Anti‐Semitic views among the African American
population have remained steady, but are consistently higher than the general
population."
"There is a strong correlation
between higher education levels and the rejection of anti-Semitic stereotypes
among members of all races, but Black Americans of all educational levels are
significantly more likely to be anti-Semitic than whites with the same
educational level.[93]. In the 1998 survey, Blacks (34%) were nearly four times
as likely as whites (9%) to have answers that identified them as belonging in
the most anti-Semitic category (those agreeing with at least 6 out of 11
statements that were potentially or clearly antisemitic)." From Wikipedia.
Further, there are notable anti-Semitic
celebrities among African Americans, including Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan,
and Amiri Baraka.
Finally, there is a blatant and deadly
anti-Semitic conspiracy theory among African Americans, that is, that blacks
are the true main characters of the Bible, and Jews are "usurpers"
who have taken black people's place. This conspiracy theory was behind a deadly
terrorist attack on a Jewish grocery store in Jersey City in 2019. Wikipedia
insists on labeling this terrorist attack a "shooting."
After the Jersey City terrorist attack,
Jersey City school board member, Joan Terrell Paige attacked Jews verbally
online.
Kanye West subscribes to this deadly conspiracy
theory. He claims that blacks are the "real" Jews.
I have yet to come across a media
account of West's anti-Semitism that relates it to the larger problem of black
anti-Semitism. Again, if West were a Polish-American, that celebrity's
anti-Semitism would immediately be related to a corrupt Polish essence,
biological and cultural.
In contrast to how a Polish celebrity
would be treated, see Isaac Herzog, Israel's president, as he is interviewed by
Wolf Blitzer. "Anti-Semitism is a problem all over the world," they both
agree. As are all racism, xenophobia, intolerance, etc. they add. That would be not be said in the case of the
Polish celebrity. Hate would not be characterized as a universal problem. It
would be a Polish problem. That interview is here.
You are correct that, if Poles said half of what Kanye West said, there would be hell to pay. And if Kanye West said the same thing about Poles as he did about Jews, the media would be deafeningly silent.
ReplyDeleteThis is no surprise. Jews and African-Americans are left-wing-designated victim groups. They cannot be criticized.
Poles, on the other hand, are "only whites", and this is supposed to make them innately privileged. No worries about Polish concerns.
