College Dropout. GOAT STATUS!!!
A widespread critical success, The College Dropout was praised for West's production, humorous and emotional raps, and the music's balance of self-examination and mainstream sensibilities. It earned the rapper several accolades including a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album at the 47th Grammy Awards. It has since been named by Time, Rolling Stone, and other publications as one of the greatest albums of all time.

Late Registration solidifies GOAT STATUS!!!
Late Registration was also a widespread critical success. It earned West the 2006 Grammy Award for Best Rap Album and an Album of the Year nomination, while appearing at the top of several publications' year-end lists ranking the year's top albums. Rolling Stonenamed it the best album of 2005, and later included it at number 118 on its 2012 list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

AND......
West is among the most critically acclaimed musicians of the 21st century and one of the best-selling music artists of all time.[5] He has won a total of 21 Grammy Awards, making him one of the most awarded artists of all time and the most Grammy-awarded artist of his generation.[6] Three of his albums have been included and ranked on Rolling Stone's 2012 update of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" list and he ties with Bob Dylan for having topped the annual Pazz & Jop critic poll the most number of times ever, with four number-one albums each. Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2005 and 2015.

I think, maybe because you don't know any black people, or aren't American, you don't understand what the distinctions are between an uncle Tom and a black conservative.

A conservative has their ideology, does their thing, is maybe into the free market, believes in limited government, and may have some opinions on issues like abortion, sexuality, and religion that hew to an earlier era.

An Uncle Tom is a person who goes out of their way to aggressively debunk white supremacy and stans for the white man whenever possible in order to contradict messages that are coming out of black communities themselves about our everyday life and experiences of social phenomena.

For examples of the former category, you can look to Michael Steele, Clarence Thomas, Ben Carson, or even former Black Panther Eldridge Cleaver.

Steele, Thomas and Carson have all been regarded as Uncle Tom's. If Eldridge were around in today's climate, he'd be called one too. Of course so would MLK.

Today white folks like the Uncle Tom because they're similarly desperate to prove that racism is exaggerated and that they themselves certainly don't harbor any tenets of white supremacy

Racism is exaggerated. That's not at all to suggest that it doesn't exist, but some forms of it are grossly over represented.

ISSUES:

OPRAH’S ANGEL NETWORK: Oprah’s Angel Network was established in 1998, and started with a plea to her viewers to donate their change, as well as their time. The initial ask raised $3.5 million, which was given away in the form of 150 $25,000 scholarships, and got 15,000 volunteers to build homes for Habitat for Humanity. Before the organization stopped accepting donations in 2010, it had raised more than $80 million, all of which was donated to charitable causes, as Winfrey personally covered the network’s administrative costs. At least $11 million of that went to relief efforts for hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and Oprah herself kicked in another $10 million on top. The network also helped build 60 schools in 13 countries, and provided books and uniforms. Much of the work once conducted through the Angel Network is now being handled by the Oprah Winfrey Charitable Foundation.

EDUCATION: According to Forbes, Winfrey had given away approximately $400 million to educational causes by 2012, including nearly 400 scholarships to Morehouse College, and more than $40 million in operating support for the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy in South Africa. She’s also given at least $10 million to A Better Chance. Its mission is to improve access to quality education for students of color, and has given $1 million or more to at least nine different charter school organizations in a number of different areas throughout the country. Mentoring programs have also received support.

ARTS & CULTURE: Winfrey has donated $12 million to the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture, and $1 million to the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. The National Council of Negro Women has received $2.5 million, and Millennium Park in Chicago has received $1 million.

HUMANITARIAN: In addition to her giving in education and support for Habitat for Humanity, Winfrey has made several significant contributions to Save the Children.

ENVIRONMENT: In 2006, Oprah gave $1 million to the Green Belt Movement International for tree planting and community development initiatives in Africa.

HEALTH: Winfrey’s health giving via their foundation has recently supported places like International Brain Research Foundation.

LOOKING FORWARD: Winfrey has endowed her charitable foundation with nearly $240 million in assets over the last several years. Though most of the money that has flowed out the door so far has gone to support her Leadership Academy in South Africa, it appears as though she is beginning to build a more robust foundation, so chances are we’ll see a more diversified grantmaking portfolio in the next several years.









A lot of that has been in the US... I'm not a fan of her politics but I wouldn't choose to blast her philanthropic efforts either.

So Hitler wasn't trying to eradicate an entire race?
Click to expand...
As far as I'm aware he was trying to eradicate many different groups of people, Jews being chief among them. That being said, Hitler thought German was a race. So it might behoove us to be a little more discerning than he was in the interest of accuracy.

From the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum website:

WHY WERE THE JEWS SINGLED OUT FOR EXTERMINATION?
The basis for Nazi antisemitism—prejudice against or hatred of Jewish people—was the Nazis’ distorted worldview of human history as racial struggle. The Nazis falsely considered the Jews to be a race. They incorrectly believed Jews had a natural impulse, inherited through generations, to strive for world domination, and that this goal would not only prevent German dominance but would also enslave and destroy the German “race.” The Nazis believed that all of history was a fight between races, which would culminate either in the triumph of the superior “Aryan” race or in its total extinction. As a result, Nazi leaders considered the death of all Jews to be a precondition necessary for the survival and the eventual dominance of the so-called “German-Aryan” race. According to the Nazis, the Jews, as an “inferior” race, would use their supposed control of world finances and of world mass media to support Communist uprisings and to encourage other “inferior” races to overwhelm and triumph against Nordic-Germanic races.

Nazi antisemitism linked traditional negative and false images of Jews and their behavior with modern pseudo-scientific beliefs. Among these stereotypes were those derived from centuries-old Christian anti-Jewish thinking, which incorrectly presented Jews as murderers of Christ, agents of the devil, and practitioners of witchcraft. The Nazis linked these negative stereotypes to a “Jewish way of thinking” that they believed was based in genetics and, therefore, not subject to change. The Nazis used this belief to justify the discrimination, persecution, and, eventually, physical murder of Jewish people.

"Race" is defined by physical characteristics. If you're Jewish, it's because you choose to be Jewish. Nothing about someone as they emerge from their mother makes them inherently Jewish, Muslim, Christian or any other religion.

It isn't both, it's only one. Race is defined as physical characteristics. There are no physical characteristics that would denote someone as being a Jew. This is why after you said "it's both" I asked you to describe what a Jew looks like.

Hating Jews makes you an anti-Semite, and a piece of shit. Not a racist.

Still moving the goalpoasts I see.
Still not sure exactly what you're trying to prove.
Are Israelis Jewish?
Could anti-Semitism be a version of racism if one (of "both") definition is children of Israel?
