(Faithwire) Entertainment mogul and presidential contender Kanye West is calling abortion a form of “black genocide” in America.
The 43-year-old West made the comment during a wide-ranging conversation on the latest episode of Nick Cannon’s podcast “Cannon’s Class” released Monday.
“There’s some harsh facts that deal with the black genocide that is abortion, and it’s happening every day,” he told Cannon, later adding, “Planned Parenthood was set up and placed in minority communities to kill black people.”
West then asserted that, over the course of the past 50 years, more than 22.5 million black babies were aborted “strategically and on purpose.” He noted that “over 1,000 black babies are aborted every day.”
