Kanye West, who on Friday apologized to the Black community for saying that George Floyd was killed by fentanyl rather than a Minneapolis police officer who put his knee into his neck, defended his remarks about the media that were antisemitic.
"When I see that video as a Black person, it hurts my feelings," Ye said to a paparazzi when talking about George Floyd's murder. "And I know that police do attack and America is generally racist. And I understand that when we got to say Black Lives Matter, that the idea of it made us feel good together as a people, right?"
