Holocaust Museum Makes This Move to Kanye West Following Rapper's Anti-semitic Posts

The Los Angeles Holocaust museum calls out to rapper Kanye West after a series of controversial posts.

Kanye West was recently involved in a content moderation controversy, which resulted to him getting restricted from Instagram and Twitter. The "Yeezy" founder went on an online ranting spree regarding his "White Lives Matter" fashion line and several feuds with his critics. 

However, the rapper struck the wrong cord when he expressed controversial views that implied hateful and anti-Semitic speech.

Holocaust Museum's Message to Ye

Several celebrities and critics have spoken out about their disapproval of the "Praise God" rapper following his problematic posts, including Jamie Lee Curtis, Sarah Silverman, Gigi Hadid, and more.

Notably, the Los Angeles Holocaust Museum has issued a public statement to Kanye West and invited him to visit them in an attempt to educate him on the sensitivity of the issue, according to E.T.

"Words matter and words have consequences, Ye. We urge you to come visit us at Holocaust Museum LA to understand just how words can incite horrific violence and genocides..." as per the Holocaust museum's statement. "The Holocaust started with only words that sadly begat stereotypes, racial and religious tropes, and blaming others and led to the murder of six million Jews."

What Did Kanye West Say?

In now-deleted posts, West had suggested that Sean "Diddy" Combs was being controlled by Jewish people, and had posted a slur targeting Trevor Noah for critiquing his "White Lives Matter" agenda. These controversial statements resulted in him getting restricted from posting on the Meta platform.

Following the incident, West then took to Twitter, after 2 years of being inactive, and posted that he would soon go "death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE". West had referenced the US military readiness condition scale known as DEFCON in his context of a hate speech towards the Jews. Additionally, Ye added salt to the wound by stating that he wasn't Anti Semitic, "because black people are actually Jew", according to a post where he attempted to defend himself against the online backlash.

West's tweets have since been removed as they had violated Twitter's rules. While his Instagram and Twitter accounts are still visible, Ye is temporarily restricted from posting.
