(Jewish Group) We asked 8 Black Jews to weigh in on the Kanye West mess [View all]
Oy Ye.
By now, the world has heard from practically everyone with an opinion on Kanye West’s antisemitic posts and rants — except the group perhaps most qualified to comment on the subject: Black Jews. Among Jewish African American leaders and activists are those who have been fans of the rapper for years, and others who wrote him off long ago when he began embracing white supremacist, anti-Black ideologies.
To learn how the controversy is playing to Black Jewish people, we spoke to those who live at the intersection of these issues on an everyday basis. None claim to speak for the entire Black Jewish community, which is as diverse as the wider Jewish and Black populations, but none held back their opinion, either. Their responses have been edited for length and clarity.
