Aspberger's or autism are not excuses that allow one to broadcast hateful speech. There are a number of other mental conditions that may have caused those people to feel that way.  Schizophrenia for one.  But society is not a suicide pact.  The law can't always punish antisocial speech, but private actors can and in some cases must, for the health of society as a whole.

Whoever broadcast that message needs to have their life temporarily and publicly ruined, or else the message will spread.  They can be reintegrated into society when they recant.

Speech, speech, speech. Grow up, dude. This is EXACTLY what I am talking about. The left owns the cultural narrative on speech. It's ONLY literal when it's not on talking points. These dudes can show up in black face, rape women, and use minorities as pawns when it's convenient. Our Commander-in-chief says racist [BLEEP] all the time. If you disagree with that, then you ain't black, Jack. Joy Behar says something racist like once a week. Nobody on the left cares... not until it threatens their power. It's a tool. The rich and powerful wield it like a club and you just want to feel like part of the crew. You're not. You're a shill, just like the rest of us. 

It doesn't matter that the left is constantly redefining language to suit their needs, you just fall right in line. You're so easily manipulated. Kanye is talking about how is being screwed over by a small group of Jewish billionaires. They aren't even religious Jews. They have like 99% European DNA. MOST of them were converts like 500 years ago or whatever. Ashkenazi Jews represent less than 3% of the entirety of Jews on this planet, and this group that he's referring to isn't even a fraction of a percent of that. Kanye is a fool for mentioning their "heritage," but you're a fool for believing they care about anything but power and not being aware enough to try to get his point. 

Can it get out of control if we let it? Yes. Absolutely. There is a real problem brewing between blacks and Jews in bigger cities. Between the Black Hebrew Israelites and the Nation of Islam, there are Jews who are already afraid to walk around in the streets. I think it's good for people to push back on why it's unnecessary to mention a group's heritage and how that unnecessarily implicates many millions of people who don't have the control. That's a 5 minute conversation in which 99% of America would agree with you. 

Now that that's settled, what about his claim? Why are this small group of elites able to wield so much power? He is attempting to fight that group and he will be drug through the mud and made an example of and you, the great thinker, won't even bat an eye. You'll pat yourself on the back for being on the "right side of history." Geez, man.
