Kanye West's Antisemitism Gets Him Restricted From Instagram And Twitter

On Friday, Meta (which is still Facebook, but I guess they thought a name change would make us forget how f*cked up they are) restricted Kanye West's account. West posted on Twitter for the first time in a couple of years. Of course, Elon Musk welcomed West back without mentioning that his account was restricted for posting a threat against Jewish People.

West's tweet in question was posted shortly before midnight, so he confirmed that he's a late-night, Jew-hating, garbage person. Thanks, but we kind of knew that already.

"I'm a bit sleepy tonight, but when I wake up I'm going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE The funny thing is I actually can't be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda," he wrote.

Then he left this tweet, obviously unaware of what the word consequences means.

Bye-bye:

West has admitted previously to not taking his meds for his bipolar disorder. So, it's beyond me how we're supposed to feel sorry for this guy, who seems so crazy sometimes that his eyes look like they're going to spin around like dice in his head.

We would be permanently banned if any of us had posted his hateful, disgusting message. I'm tired of people giving this guy a break because he's mentally ill. It was his choice to reject his medications. Sorry, Kanye, you're not special. I am, however, impressed that he typed out that message with a Tiki Torch in his hand.

Editor's Note: This is an excellent thread about why antisemitism is so insidious and pervasive. Click the tweet to read the entire thread:
