Pundits including Lisa Respers of CNN and Jonathan Greenblatt of the Anti Defamation League (ADL) have lambasted Ye for his past statements reflecting his opinion that \u201c<\/span>racism is a dated concept<\/span><\/a>\u201d and that slavery was a \u201c<\/span>choice<\/span><\/a>.\u201d Additionally, they condemned Ye for wearing a White Lives Matter shirt with Candace Owens at Paris Fashion Week in October.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nIn her <\/span>article for CNN<\/span><\/a>, Respers, who has an anti-Christian record that includes <\/span>making a parody of the Holy Bible<\/span><\/a>, gave credence to the idea that Ye is the \u201cface of anti-Blackness\u201d and wrote off his remarks suggesting George Floyd was killed by a fentanyl overdose as \u201cfalse.\u201d<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nDuring his <\/span>interview with The Breakfast Club<\/span><\/a>, Greenblatt spoke of Ye in the same breath as anti-Black racists and warned against the potential consequences of what could happen if \u201cwe don\u2019t get him,\u201d before correcting the Freudian slip. Greenblatt, who has previously worked in the Clinton and Obama administrations and became a millionaire through bottled water venture capital investments, also spent a large portion of the interview attacking Ye for his statements against the Red Media.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nHowever, Ye\u2019s real words speak for themselves. Ye, who is Black, told Tucker Carlson in an interview \u201cI don\u2019t care about people\u2019s responses, I care about the fact that there\u2019s more Black babies being aborted than being born in New York City at this point, that 50% of Black death in America is abortion.\u201d Later, Ye echoed his concerns on a Clubhouse stream, calling for an end to all federal funding allocated for abortions because of its detriment to Black America.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nMoreover, Ye founded Sunday Service Choir in 2019, an all Black gospel collective, and employs numerous Black designers for his Yeezy fashion line. Time and time again, he has advocated for universal housing and stronger communities to combat the issue of Black fatherlessness.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nMore recently, Ye <\/span>lobbied in support of Brittney Griner<\/span><\/a>, a Black American basketball player being held prisoner in Russia. The move not only showed Ye\u2019s advocacy for Blacks, but proved his formidability as a diplomat, saying \u201c\u201cYou know my position is that America should seek peace with all of our adversaries and free all American prisoners held abroad.\u201d Ye is not anti-Black, in fact, he\u2019s the strongest force for good in Black America this century.<\/span>","tags":false,"people":[54],"topics":[55],"places":false,"events":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/user.factcheckkanyewest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/user.factcheckkanyewest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/user.factcheckkanyewest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/user.factcheckkanyewest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/user.factcheckkanyewest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/user.factcheckkanyewest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":194,"href":"https:\/\/user.factcheckkanyewest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79\/revisions\/194"}],"acf:term":[{"embeddable":true,"taxonomy":"topics","href":"https:\/\/user.factcheckkanyewest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/55"},{"embeddable":true,"taxonomy":"people","href":"https:\/\/user.factcheckkanyewest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/people\/54"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/user.factcheckkanyewest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/user.factcheckkanyewest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/user.factcheckkanyewest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79"},{"taxonomy":"people","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/user.factcheckkanyewest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/people?post=79"},{"taxonomy":"places","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/user.factcheckkanyewest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/places?post=79"},{"taxonomy":"topics","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/user.factcheckkanyewest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics?post=79"},{"taxonomy":"events","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/user.factcheckkanyewest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events?post=79"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
