Whitesplainer Sarah Silverman Dragged For Insinuating Black Twitter Condones Kanye West Antisemitism
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: D Dipasupil / Getty Sarah Silverman did it to herself. The vocal comedian and activist took to Twitter to insinuate that Black people, or at least Black Twitter, was being silent about the antisemitic rhetoric Kanye West has been accused of hurling—and she was quickly and curtly course-corrected for her tomfoolery. In case you’ve been unaware, Kanye West found himself placed on pause by Instagram first and then Twitter for what many say is antisemitic commentary. It started with him claiming Jews were the ones who told Diddy to holla at him and then he said he was straight going “Death Con 3” on Jews, after he gets some sleep. That said, the Black Twitter delegation has been flaming Kanye West since he dropped those bombs, and ones he’s dropped over...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty G-Dep, who is currently in prison for murder, is now at the heart of a movement for granting clemency in New York – and the lawyer who prosecuted him is working to help him get free. The former Bad Boy Records star and Harlem native, also known as Trevell Coleman, turned himself in 2010 and confessed to shooting a man in an attempted robbery in October 1993 out of extreme remorse for his actions.
