(Jewish Group) Twitter censors Kanye West tweet comparing 'anti-semitic' to N-word

Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, had a tweet pulled down that compared being called antisemitic to the N-word.

The rapper tweeted a screenshot on Friday of an account claiming that being called antisemitic means the N-word. The tweet was quickly reported and removed by Twitter. The removal comes a week after West's account was restored following a ban over antisemitic remarks and occurred after Elon Musk took over the platform.

West has been the focus of controversy after he made multiple remarks about the Jewish people in early October. Instagram and Twitter locked down the rapper's social media after he said he wanted to go "death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE." This censorship led West to agree to buy Parler, the conservative alternative social network.

West has apologized for the harm his remarks have caused but has maintained that he "absolutely" does not regret making them.

Full disclosure: This was a story on "The Washington Examiner", but I am linking to a MSM aggregate. I have yet to see this story published elsewhere (not a real surprise).

Also, West only "apologized for the harm his remarks have caused" to the Black community. He refuses to apologize or recognize the problems caused TO the Jewish community!
