According to the Anti-Defamation League, white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and other extremists have been inspired by the recent antisemitic rants of Yeezus. Over the weekend, one group took its support of West and his anti-Semitic views to a whole new level, dropping a banner on a highway in Los Angeles.
The ADL's Center on Extremism published a list of extremists' groups response to the artist, legally known as Ye, all of which have delighted in having a high-profile ally amplify their antisemitism. Groups from the Proud Boys to the Nation of Islam have praised Ye for speaking a lot of truth in the fight against "Jewish control." The antisemitic Goyim Defense League decided to use Ye's comments to pit the Black community against the Jewish people.
Andrew Anglin, publisher of the neo-Nazi Daily Stormer website, praised Ye as one of the greatest people to have lived since Jesus Christ.
Ye is the greatest person to have ever lived in the history of the world. He went full on. Anglin said in an article that the artist would have to be killed.
West's rants are seen as dangerous by experts. According to Oren Segal, the leader of the ADL's Center on Extremism, there is a person who has more followers on social media than there are Jews.
Segal said that extremists try to amplify their hatred by identifying people with a large following who might share their ideas.
Segal said that you never know who will respond to hatred violently. The more that it is out there, the more danger it poses.
Extremist groups tried to take advantage of West's antisemitic comments. On Saturday, the antisemitic Goyim Defense League dropped a series of banners over the overpass of the freeway.
The banners read "Honk If You Know" and "Kanye Is Right About the Jews" along with a banner advertising their video site. The event was streamed by the Goyim Defense League. The video is chilling and the sound of car horns can be heard in different parts of the video.
The Los Angeles Times reported that antisemitic flyers have been left at the homes and cars of people in Los Angeles. Sam Yebri, a lawyer running for the Los Angeles City Council, received an antisemitic flyer at home and posted pictures on the social networking site. The flyer accused the covid-19 of being driven by Jews.
Yebri told the Times that the antisemitic ideas in the flyers are not new to Los Angeles.
Yebri said that the hate that used to be limited to the dark corners of the internet has been given a boost byKanye's comments. It is popping up at people's homes in Los Angeles.
The artist has made a lot of noise with his racist and antisemitic statements. At Paris Fashion Week, Ye unveiled his racist t-shirts. Ye accused the artist of being controlled by Jews and said he was going to go "death con 3" on Jewish people, prompting both platforms to restrict his activity. The two agencies that collaborated with West said they would no longer work with him.
