A Holocaust Museum has reportedly invited Kanye West following his recent comments that were deemed to be anti-Semitic.
Holocaust Museum Invites Kanye West Following His Alleged Anti-Semitic Post-‘We Urge You To Come Visit Us’
The controversy started when Kanye and P Diddy went head-to-head on social media over the former’s White Lives Matter t-shirt. And as part of that process, Kanye made it clear that he was not going to back down. In response, Kanye’s comments resulted in him violating Instagram’s guidelines.
Thereafter, Kanye went on another rant via Twitter in which he allegedly made anti-Semetic remarks with the following comments: “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.” But in order to put this issue to bed, the Holocaust Museum in Los Angeles is hoping that Kanye accepts their invitation.
It is hoped that Kanye can understand why his comments may have been offensive. And given that Kanye has such a powerful influence, coupled with the fact that he is seen as a role model in certain circles, this is vital.
In an official statement on behalf of the museum, a representative stated the following: “Words matter and words have consequences Ye. We urge you to come visit us at Holocaust Museum…Your words reach millions and you can choose to incite or you can choose to inspire.”
The fans on social media were not convinced that this would have an impact on Kanye’s outspoken manner. After all, he has shown that he has a continual tendency to make inflammatory comments. One person wrote: “I’m not sure he will understand.”
Time will tell if Kanye does end up taking the invitation, but based on what we have seen so far of his demeanour, Kanye will do what he thinks is best regardless of what others say. So there you have it folks. What did you think about this? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
