If rap artist Ye is considered a bad person for praising Adolf Hitler, what does that mean for America, which imported thousands of Nazi scientists as part of Operation Paperclip?
The parallel was noted by former Minnesota congressional candidate Royce White on Jason Whitlock’s “Fearless” podcast on Friday.
“Let’s not get lost on Kanye saying he loves Nazis. Because we as a country loved the Nazis. We loved the Nazis and still love the Nazis,” White said.
“Who were the Nazis? What was Operation Paperclip? Why did we bring 1,600 — so they say, could have been 16,000, could have been 106,000, we don’t know — why did they bring 1,600 of the Nazi Party’s top scientists and political figures…why did they bring them into the American government?”
“This got nothing to do with Kanye,” White continued. “Kanye doesn’t even know about this. That’s not the purview of what he’s bringing to the table.”
“Why did we after World War II when we made it seem like we went to fight for the massacre of the Jews, take the very people who orchestrated it and assimilate them into our military and government?”
“Because we were more concerned with military power, political power, economic power than we were the principle. We’re the sellouts. Our nation has moral hazard from World War II that we have yet to deal with,” he said.
“You can’t send me off on some mission or side street about Kanye West making some silly off-the-cuff remark with a mask on to get attention from a theatrical career that he’s always lived up to and distract me from the truth,” he added.
