Earlier Monday, we did a post on hip-hop artist Talib Kweli Greene doubling down on his tweet about the Berlin Wall, which was built by Nazi Germany (in 1961) and torn down in 1991 (actually 1989 — it was kind of a big deal on the news).
But now he’s tripled-down: if you called him out on his factual errors, you’re a Nazi. Heck, we’re Nazis for writing this post.
This weekend proved to me how organized American nazis are. Nazi ass Breitbart wrote their 3rd hit piece on me and every Nazi supported user with a blue check left on twitter from Posobeic to Gorka, an actual Nazi, amplified it. Pay attention ppl. Don’t wait til they come for you

So heartbreaking. An intelligent, successful, black man will unfortunately always be viewed as a threat. Especially to a racist group striving for eugenics because they think they are superior. It's sad really. Stay safe. Remain vigilant. They can only break you if you allow it.

Pay attention people. The Berlin Wall was torn down in 1991 and only an actual Nazi would believe otherwise.
If you can’t take the time to educate yourself on actual history, I suggest you don’t tweet falsehoods about it.
Also, Throwing around the word Nazi because your mad that people called out your bullshit is even worse. #educateyourself #library #historybooks— Kesara (@super_kesara) December 24, 2018
My tweet was taken out of context and amplified by Breitbart, a racist site. You’re a liar who supports racists. Shame on you Kesara. Shame on you for joining in with hateful racist lying bullies. If you thought you were a good person, you thought wrongs

His “facts” were taken out of context and you’re a liar if you doubt him.
I can take the mocking. I welcome all challengers. Bring it on. I wrote a poorly worded tweet being facetious. What a crime. Conservatives however march with Nazis and KKK. Every single Nazi candidate runs as conservative. How do you sleep at night knowing Nazis love you? Explain

Ah, he was being facetious. And you’re still all Nazis.
Tell us again how kind people built the Berlin wall to keep the mean Nazis out, poet.

Narrator: And by Nazi, Talib meant anyone right of Stalin. He was ashamed for being too stupid to know Hitler didn't build the Berlin wall and was now using strawman tactics.

Narrator: He characterizes people who are smarter than him as Nazis even though he has never studied history.

You made a categorical lie. Where does the blame fall at that point
— BullBears (@BullBears) December 23, 2018
You tweeted an absolute lie and were called on it. Don't go around calling people names when they proved you were lying just to make yourself a victim.

You posted something really stupid and got called on it. Quit crying.

dude you were wrong. just admit it and stop demonizing people for pointing it out. the nazis did not build the berlin wall. the soviets did and it was meant to keep people in east germany. it's also ridiculous to call the west nazis. we beat the nazis.

I’m aware the Nazis didn’t build the Berlin Wall. So why are you flying into a rage? Explain.

Why are YOU flying into a rage?

Honestly? We don’t think Greene is stupid. But lashing out and calling everyone else liars and Nazis isn’t smart. A smart person might crack a history book and educate himself.
