The stupid marches on: Rapper Talib Kweli Greene falsely claims Nazis built Berlin Wall

It seems that leftists these days are not only ignorant about history, they seem to delight in it.  On Friday, rapper Talib Kweli Greene issued a tweet falsely claiming the Nazis built the Berlin Wall.

“So, you’re unaware of the fact that nazi Germany had a wall called the Berlin Wall that was torn down in 1991 in order to foster humanity and diversity? Walls didn’t work for Nazis so why build them here? Build bridges not walls Nazi lover,” he wrote on Twitter in response to another social media user.

The tweet no longer exists, but was captured for posterity and an archived version can be seen here.

Here’s a screen shot of his historically-challenged message:

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

Actually, the Nazis didn’t build the Berlin Wall — that was the Communists, and the wall was built long after the end of World War II — after the Nazis were defeated.  And it wasn’t torn down to “foster diversity,” as Greene falsely claimed.

Apparently, Greene wasn’t too concerned with historic fact when he issued his message, something quite a few people on Twitter mentioned.

Greene responded to this by implying the Twitter user who criticized him is a Nazi.  Why?  Because he/she has an “88” as part of his/her username.

Of course.  Because anyone who disagrees with an ignorant leftist like Greene MUST be a Nazi, right?

Green actually claimed he knew that:

If he already knew the Nazis didn’t build the Berlin Wall, why on earth did he say it?

One person tried to inform Greene about the construction of the wall:

Greene, however, wasn’t having any of that, and claimed the person giving him the information on the Berlin Wall was actually defending “racist liars.”

Apparently, historic fact is now racist and only Nazis insist on being factual.

A post at Blabber Buzz tells us Greene has a history of making statements like this:

Talib Kweli’s social media posts are not only fact-deficient, they are often hate-filled and vitriolic. In 2016, the “Get By” rapper attacked Breitbart News’ Jerome Hudson, repeatedly disparaging him with the racial slur “coon.”

This, by the way, is the modern left — loud, ignorant and proud of it.

By the way, there is a GoFundMe effort under way to help fund Trump’s border wall. That effort has now collected over $16 million and is still going strong.  You can see that GoFundMe campaign by clicking HERE.
