These artists know who's the decision makers. Who's at the meetings, who decides which content gets released, who decides which content doesn't get released, etc and etc. I highly doubt plenty of these rappers in the music industry are calling out the Jewish execs, because they are dealing with Irish Catholic execs.

If the Jews really do control the music industry, then why isn't the Billboard 100 filled with Klezmer music?

I know the answer to this - it came up at the last meeting. See, the thing is, Jews don’t actually like klezmer music.

Cause mainstream America isn't spending on it. Many execs (regardless of ethnicity), push out the worst of what's popular for the quick profits, with disregard to any culture that's attached to the music.

Yeah, let’s keep talking about jews are a larger minority in some industries than others. Very important topic. Can’t have too many Jews in the same place, after all.

99% of black music that is mainstream 100% reinforces the negative stereotypes whites have of black people. Especially since most white people don't actually have contact with black people to know otherwise.

Michael Eric Dyson

Many Black folks claimed that Ye went unscathed when he made anti-Black statements — stating that slavery was a choice, sporting a “White Lives Matter” T-shirt — but the moment he let loose a flurry of antisemitic screeds, he got the hook and paid a huge economic price.

Those who make such clumsy comparisons are drawing faulty parallels. They are missing a rule of thumb that applies to Latinos, Asians, Indigenous people, Jews and most other groups: If you are inside the community, you can take far more liberties than outsiders can. Black folk can say the N-word, folk who are not Black cannot. Black folk can say things about each other, our culture, our habits and dispositions, our values and visions, our virtues and vices — but those outside of our communities dare not say them.

A reminder that if you’re a Republican, you’re just a Nazi who can’t speak German.

So today Kanye told Jones that he *especially* loves Hitler. And Jews are bad.

Y’all still going to pretend he ain’t an antisemite?
Some will say they need to see him say it. And then they'll say it was somehow taken out of context.

More, from the RollingStone. (what a despicable human being)

Kanye to Alex Jones: ‘I Like Hitler’​

The rapper and virulent antisemite sat down with the Sandy Hook conspiracy theorist alongside white nationalist Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes

“Every human being has something of value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler,” Ye said. “Also Hitler was born Christian.”

“I see good things about Hitler also” Ye said. “I love everyone. Jewish people are not going to tell me you can love us, and you can love what we’re doing to you with the contracts, and you can love what we’re pushing with the pornography. But this guy that invented highways, invented the very microphone that I use as a musician, you can’t say out loud that this person ever did anything good, and I’m done with that.”

When Jones said he didn’t like Nazis as the show moved to a commercial break, Ye interjected.

“I like Hitler,” he said.

I was about to post that no one could defend that in any rational, reasonable fashion. But then I remember that fanatical people will support anyone and anything.

Ye is a blithering idiot like Trump; what else there is to say, I don’t know.
He holds no position of power over things I own, a social network I frequent, or my country like those other two did so I'm not as passionate about it, I was never into his music either.

He's just another Nazi sympathizer and in some ways it's respectable that he at least admits it, most Trump supporter/white supremacists who clearly are won't.
