Honestly, at this point, nothing Kanye West says should surprise anyone. And yet here we are.
In a new interview with the Lex Fridman Podcast, Kanye West shares more of his misguided thoughts on everything from the Holocaust and Black Lives Matter to abortion and robots.
West stated near the beginning of the interview, speaking about the world and society, “We are now. We are here. We are one species. We are one race. We’re here and it’s time and the leadership is changing. Because you have Elon as a leader. Ye as a leader and we are the top leaders. We’re more influential than the presidents.”
He then talked about how King Koopa from Mario Bros. has his ex-wife Kim Kardashian “in the castle right now” and how his dad was “the original Steve Jobs.”
We can’t make this stuff up, folks.
Kanye West later informed Fridman, who is Jewish, “We are still in the Holocaust. A Jewish friend of mine said ‘come go visit the Holocaust Museum’ and my response was ‘let’s visit our Holocaust Museum, Planned Parenthood.”
When Fridman pushed back saying “there is a difference of the atrocities at that scale {the Holocaust] at that time on an entire people,” West shot back, “I was going to say, the number, that’s the difference. Because 6 million will, also, African Americans are actually Jew also the Lost tribe of Israel.”
“Back on that…” Lex Fridman interjected, shaking his head.
Kanye then claimed, “Fifty percent of black deaths a year is actually abortion. It’s not the cop with the knee. It’s not black on black violence and gang violence, not heart attacks, it’s actually abortion. The most dangerous place for a black person in America is in their mother’s stomach.”
West then again brought up his idea of the “Jewish media.”
Fridman, as others including Chris Cuomo have, shot that idea down.
“It’s something that Joseph Goebbels, the propaganda minister of Nazi Germany said,” Fridman responded to West. “I’m saying it’s been said so many times
in order to murder and torture Jewish people that it just rings wrong, just like the N word when spoken by people that have the same skin color as me. It reminds people of a very dark time.”
Kanye West really wants people to just accept the fact that he’s a Jew
Kanye then replied, “If Jewish people would accept that I’m Jew then they would see what I’m saying in a different way.”
West later went on another bizarre tangent about what kids are taught about history in school.
“What they do, what schools are doing is exactly what the CIA does with Pixar films and Disney films,” he said. “They make Bambi’s mom die in the beginning right? And off that pain comes a purchase of ice cream. Off that pain comes I need some more toys. Off that pain comes I need a bigger house. Off that pain comes I need more girls than my wif. Off that pain comes, so they put that pain in to make us, now we’re the orphans of capitalism, to make us be consumers and we need to be a community not just consumers.”
Kanye then gave a lengthy history lesson about black people… after saying that we all need to “quit harping” on history.
Ye later added, jokingly (I think), “People, just in general, they love me so much. I’m like actually a hard guy to really hate for a long period of time just because of my huge c-ck.”
