Sarah Silverman was in the streets of Twitter loud, strong, and wrong when she hit the timeline crying about how everyone was silent when Kanye West threatened Jews.
The comedian and actress tweeted, “Kanye threatened the Jews yesterday on Twitter and it’s not even trending. Why do mostly only Jews speak up against Jewish hate? The silence is so loud.”
See her original tweet below.
In case you missed it, Kanye took to social media writing, “I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE.”
Oh, but that wasn’t all.
Kanye also wrote, “The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.”
Kim Kardashian‘s soon-to-be ex-husband was promptly suspended from Twitter and Instagram for his tomfoolery.
Black Twitter rose up with the power of Greyskull to swiftly inform Sarah Silverman that the Black community did not condone nor tolerate Kanye’s ignorance.
One person responded to Sarah writing, “Have you checked Black Twitter? I’m guessing no. If you would have checked Black Twitter you would have seen that we’ve been dragging him since the beginning. Long story short…we’re not conditional allies.”

But, she wasn’t the only one who gathered Sarah. Another person tweeted, “Tell me you don’t follow Black Twitter without telling me you don’t follow Black Twitter.”
