> African Americans is not a lost tribe African Americans, or even Africans, identifying themselves as a lost tribe of Israel is nothing new. In fact, it's been a recurring theme in black empowerment narratives for well over a century. Not just allegorically, but literally. One example closest to mainstream awareness would be the Rastafarians, and specifically the sub-sect which Bob Marley belonged to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve_Tribes_of_Israel_(Rastafari) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve_Tribes_of_Israel_(Rasta... Kanye West is refashioning ad hoc black empowerment narratives in basically the same manner he would do when crafting music based on pre-existing musical themes--lyrics, beats, etc. (Which is to say, basically the same way we all internalize cultural narratives.) If you have even a passing familiarity with these movements then it's all easily intelligible and plausibly coherent so long as you don't think about it too much. The same is true regarding Planned Parenthood. There are tens of millions of Americans who equivocate abortion with murder, and more recently with genocide of the "black race" because of the (supposed--I haven't verified) greater rates of abortion among black Americans.
