Kanye West: Whites and Jews and Floyds, Oh My!

Move over Andrew Tate and Alex Jones, there is a new leader on the most hated list.

Kanye West is off his meds and letting it rip.

White Lives Matter (Oct 3rd)
Kanye West (Ye) is seen with Candace Owens wearing a white lives matter shirt.

Jews (Oct 9th)
Ye said was going to go “death con 3 on Jewish people.”

George Floyd (Oct 15th)
Ye said George Floyd died because of fentanyl and not because former officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for nine minutes.

What else: Porn, Biden, and lots more Jew stuff all in about a week's worth of work.

Points for the first one to find the Easter egg.

 

Do we have to put up with this --- post, or whatever it is? I know it's in "Political" but...

This is lamentable - a mentally-ill man having a VERY ugly public breakdown. Some caregiver should protect him from making an ill-advised show of his afflictions. And most of us here know better than to sensationalize the most distasteful aspects (e.g. hate statements) of such sicknesses.

Yeah - Kanye said this - do we really ALL need to hear it? Do you get points? I think not.

 

Don't shoot the messenger.

And yes, there are points available for someone to win.

 

Ye is mentally unwell. It is well known that he suffers from Bipolar disorder. I suspect he may suffer some additional issues. He is an in your face political celebrity though. That means to me that starting a thread up about him in this forum is fair game.

 

Kanye West reportedly is worth $2 billion.

West’s deal with Adidas is worth $220 million annually and $1.5 billion total, per Forbes’ estimates, and his net worth would plummet to well below $1 billion without the partnership.

"The thing about me and Adidas is I can literally say antisemitic sh.. and they can't drop me. I can say antisemitic things and Adidas can't drop me. Now what?" said Kanye West

"Whether or not Kanye West is mentally ill, there's no question he is a bigot. His hate speech calls for violence against Jews. If you interpret his words any other way and defend him, guess what? You are racist. If we don’t call someone as influential as Kanye out for his divisive, ignorant and antisemitic words then we are complicit." said David Schwimmer

Okay. My objection was based on taste - but poor taste is not a felony, or 90% or more of the population would be behind bars. If you say so, Bill - and ONLY because you say so --- all right. It stays. I don't withdraw my remarks, but I will keep my objection to myself and say no more. Best I can do.

 

This guy has been known to say some "interesting" things. I have a friend who dated him years ago. He was a piece of work back then and it seems he does not change.

I get that he's angry. I have had my work stolen too numerous times. At one point I had to contact a production company in California on the same day that they were about to film something for national broadcasting based primarily on my work, where I had been totally skipped over and left out of the discussion intentionally and the only one not profitting. The only reason I even found out is because they screwed over another person who would have initially profited from the deal. I sent out an email that same day and cc'd my lawyer, and all production stopped. I was getting emails, calls, and texts from people begging to let the production go through but they had already showed me their true colors. I did not go around publicly broadcasting what happened, but eventually the truth came out. People who are bad at ethical business are never going to come out on top in the very end looking like a diamond. With that said, this particular situation reminds me of times where I have to be in court with some of my clients who often have been criminals before, and later become the victim. If they don't feel like they get justice when they initially seek in out they may opt to take an alternative route to be sure their version of justice happens...

 

Speaking of Kanye, I just came across this "gem".

 

Kanye has been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder a few years ago.
That's also the reason Kim divorced him: he said things that he was later unaware of having said and it was difficult to live with him because his moods would change very frequently over a short period of time.
He is unmedicated for his diagnosis (he doesn't want medication for it).
So that's probably the reason for all his weird statements.

 

He's gonna be a three-time loser now: Looks like Adidas will pull out, Balenciaga and Gap endorsements are already off the table.

The bigger they are - the harder they fall. Don't panic, Ye. There's always welfare.

 

I was very pleased when I saw this. Almost enough to buy a pair of Adidas but, I like Keens too much. I suspect that Ye may be headed for a depressed time in his Bipolar Disorder ride. I hope it doesn't cause him to carry out his threat of murdering Jewish people though.

 

Bonus points for Johann posting the news story first. I was going to post it just now, 12 hours late. Hehe

I saw Ye was doing one-hour-long videos trying to explain himself.

I don't know all the highlights, but in summary:
1. He said he wanted to gather up all the NBA/NFL players and music singers, and get them all in one room together to review their contracts? That didn't make any sense to me.

2. All the Jew stuff he clarified and said he was referring to business Jews, but it appears the "intent" of the way he said it was negative towards Jews in general.

I get he was mad about his stuff being stolen by Adidas and others, but he had a good deal with Adidas.

I don't think Nike will want to touch this hot potato, and there aren't many big shoe companies. Making shoes on your own would be tough.

I love these types of news stories. Catch them just before something BIG is about to happen. Like watching a football game where we cheer on the game's drama and see the final score in the end. Game over. GG Ye.

Few bonus points left for the person that knows the movie the title of this thread refers to.

 

That would be me, also. Wizard of Oz. 1939. "Lions and Tigers and Bears - Oh My!" Saw it in 1948. I was 5.

I'd like my two shares of bonus points please. And disregard that man behind the curtain. (Same movie.)

 

Makes no difference whatsoever. One single Jew or other minority subjected to his hate is one too many. He should be placed in a mental facility and treated - and we'll see if he ever "gets better" enough to be released. Ye should not be running amok, free on his own recognizance in this sad mental shape. He has a huge audience. His big mouth is a public danger. I'd hate to see some low-mentality wrongos take him seriously, get together and do something really evil. I don't believe anyone sane wants something like Nov. 9, 1938 to come upon the world again, this time in America.

From what I see, he has a faithful following.
The ugly responses I see on the SM are not to be ignored.
Pogroms may be the unfortunate reality.

 

I suffer from bi-polar disorder, but it doesn't make me a racist. Plus, it's very treatable with medication.

 

Of course you're correct. I never claimed that there was any link between bi-polar disorder and his racism. My understanding is that Ye refuses to take his medication so his symptoms are worse than they would be otherwise.

 

Apparently, some SNL writers boycotted the show by retreating to their safe spaces and cry closets when Dave Chappelle recently hosted SNL.

Good thing they did because Dave Chappelle spoke favorably of Trump, called Adidas literal Nazi's, and said a bunch of conspiracy theories, which was funny AF. REEEEE.
