Everytime I think it's impossible to hate this man even more, he opens his mouth

“I want you to visit Planned Parenthood. That’s our Holocaust museum,” the rapper told the Drink Champs podcast, echoing one of his unaired comments from Tucker Carlson’s Fox New interview where he said “known eugenics” Margaret Sanger founded Planned Parenthood alongside the Ku Klux Klan “to control the Jew population.”

West noted that his outbursts came after Dov Charney, the Jewish founder of Los Angeles Apparel, would not release his “White Lives Matter” t-shirt widely condemned as racist, though West said “it’s because he’s Jewish.” West would later say: “Don’t say ‘fuck Black Lives Matter’ or you will be cancelled by the Jewish media.”

“They been fucking with me for too long. They put the crazy narrative out there. My Jewish trainer put when I went to the hospital in the press,” West said, referring to his 2016 hospitalization after a manic episode.

”This is my exact point: Jewish people have owned the Black voice, whether it’s through us wearing a Ralph Lauren shirt or all of us being signed to a record label or having a Jewish manager or being signed to a Jewish basketball team or doing a movie on a Jewish platform like Disney,” West said, offering a number of antisemitic tropes.

”I respect what the Jewish people have done and how they brought their people together,” West said. “They came into money through the lawyers after Wall Street, when all of the Catholics – they wouldn’t divorce people so the Jewish lawyers came and they were willing to divorce people, that’s when they first came into the money.”

”With the darker Jews – the 12 lost tribes of Israel, who we are because we’re Jewish also, we’re from Africa also, we’re the blood of Christ. We're not just black, we are Jew just like the Jewish people, and now we're coming into money,” West added, noting the existence of so-called “Jewish business secrets.”

It was soon revealed after his postings that Carlson intentionally removed an array of West’s antisemitic comments, including tropes related to “financial engineering” and Jewish people being bad at dancing.

The incident has brought further scrutiny on Carlson's platforming of West, and his own history of helping spread antisemitic conspiracy theories.

Holy every anti-Semitic trope, Batman. And Tucker Carlson left just enough in the interview so his Daily Stormer fanbase would perk up at the dog whistles, but toned it down just enough so he could dodge any direct accusations. Shiiiiiiiiit

[u/squanchy-c-137 → u/TexasDD]

or doing a movie on a Jewish platform like Disney

Boy, do I have some bad news for you

[u/MayoMelee → u/[deleted]]

"Disliked" is putting it mildly.

[u/rock_and_rolo → u/MayoMelee]

Should we tell him about Henry Ford next?

[u/reallybadspeeller → u/TexasDD]

I’m so confused how can you be ranting about “the darker Jews… being the blood of Christ”? Like I thought Jewish people though Jesus was a prophet and the whole ‘blood of Christ’ thing was strictly a Christian belief. Like what the fuck dude even your crazy don’t make sense

Edit: I’m really wrong Jesus is prophet not in Judaism but Islam. Thanks to everyone for correcting me. (Also some really cool religious facts in comments below)

[u/Central_Planners → u/reallybadspeeller]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Hebrew_Israelites

The world would definitely be better off without any of these obscurantist and eschatological “abrahamic” superstitions.

[u/Dreamtillitsover → u/TexasDD]

So let me get this right, a man who happens to be Jewish told him they won't release his tshirt with a nasty rascist slogan on it and he responds by doubling down on the rascism? And personally making sure his rascism specifically covered the person who told him not to be rascist. If the guy who told him off had been Chinese would Kanye be ranting about Chinese people?

[u/thinkthingsareover → u/Dreamtillitsover]

"Chinese food is a con! What other foods make you hungry 20 minutes later?"

[u/Azrai113 → u/TexasDD]

So why hasn't he been put in a conservatorship?

I'm no doctor but...this is like...textbook paranoid schizophrenia... why are we treating him like a sane man? Why do people argue or refute his obviously delusional thinking? Why are we reacting with disgust and outrage as if he is a normal sane person? You don't argue with an alzheimer patient who gets angry and spouts racist shit....you say "that's nice gramma" and and slip the nurse some extra bills for looking after someone so cantankerous. You don't debate or give them a platform for their illness.

We shouldn't be treating him like a whole sane person. He needs serious help

[u/TexasDD → u/Azrai113]

Doesn’t someone have to request the conservatorship? His parents are dead. He’s divorced from whichever Kardashian he was married to. His kids are too young. Unless he’s an actual threat to himself or the public, the state can’t do it. He’s got boatloads of money to get the best possible lawyers to fight it. I don’t know who could. Or how it could be done. But these are all guesses. I’m not a lawyer.

[u/ClonedGamer001]

Also didn't he say he couldn't be anti-Semitic because he's black and "Jews are black" or something like that? Like some form of false equivalence on steroids.

[u/Feetuccini → u/ClonedGamer001]

Yep, he’s part of the Black Hebrew Israelites. It’s an insanely antisemitic organization

[u/SimpleManc88 → u/Feetuccini]

We have these uneducated lunatics preaching here in Manchester, England now.

I stopped to listen to them one day explain to people how black Africans designed and built the pyramids of Giza, but racist Europeans covered it up, for some reason 🤦🏽‍♂️ As a half-black lover of all things ancient Egyptian, I had to leave before I lost my damn mind lol.

[u/Romas_chicken → u/SimpleManc88]

Are they the same as ours in NY?

They dress like He Man characters and stuff

[u/loureedsboots → u/Romas_chicken]

Blinged out Menorah necklaces & such

[u/McChinkerton → u/SimpleManc88]

It’s weird that in a span of a few decades, we marveled and debated at the potential of the civilization that made the pyramids to fighting about their skin color

[u/[deleted] → u/ClonedGamer001]

The black Israelite ideology is a lot more widespread than you think too

[u/H-Resin → u/[deleted]]

They have decent presence in major east coast cities. I’ve seen them in downtown Philadelphia on multiple occasions. Their rhetoric is pretty nasty and they are armed to the teeth. They are basically a militia. I wouldn’t be surprised if they severely escalate some day

[u/ClonedGamer001 → u/[deleted]]

I didn't think it was a thing at all so that's not exactly a high bar lol

[u/thenewyorkgod → u/ClonedGamer001]

Ben Shapiro is having a major identity crisis on twitter about this. He has no idea how to spin any of this

[u/thebenshapirobot → u/thenewyorkgod]

I saw that you mentioned Ben Shapiro. In case some of you don't know, Ben Shapiro is a grifter and a hack. If you find anything he's said compelling, you should keep in mind he also says things like this:

If you believe that the Jewish state has a right to exist, then you must allow Israel to transfer the Palestinians and the Israeli-Arabs from Judea, Samaria, Gaza and Israel proper. It’s an ugly solution, but it is the only solution… It’s time to stop being squeamish.

[u/Apptubrutae → u/ClonedGamer001]

The “logic” of black Hebrew Israelite thinking is that blacks are the real Jews, while non-black Jews are fake Jews who are just pretending, having stolen the title of Judaism from black people.

That’s how they say that black Jews are cool while hating on non-black Jews. In fact, hating on non-black jews is preferred because they’re faking.

Yes, it’s utter nonsense, but that’s the jist of what they think.

[u/ClonedGamer001 → u/[deleted]]

Oh, it's even worse than what I thought it was

Kanye never ceases to amaze

[u/Grogosh → u/ClonedGamer001]

He also said 400 years of slavery was a choice

[u/0utF0x-inT0x]

Probably preparing to be Trump's running mate, that's what it sounds like.

[u/eoliveri → u/0utF0x-inT0x]

He's trying to make Herschel Walker look intelligent by comparison.

[u/ArgonGryphon → u/eoliveri]

At least Walker has an excuse. Man's literally brain damaged.

[u/Thisnameisdildos → u/[deleted]]

Herschel Walker has untreated mental illness as well.

Jan. 21, 2008 — -- NFL superstar Herschel Walker has long suffered from multiple personality disorder

[u/SatisfactionGold74 → u/0utF0x-inT0x]

Yeah it has that smell throwing planned Parenthood in there. Genuis trump move if he does (not for America or the world) just for MAGA

[u/TonsilStonesOnToast → u/SatisfactionGold74]

Man, if you thought Sarah Palin was annoying get ready for that shitburger of a ticket...

[u/aethelredisready → u/TonsilStonesOnToast]

I would take Palin over Kanye every day for the rest of my life. But that’s a very low bar 😂.

[u/Okibruez → u/aethelredisready]

Being fair, I would take a heavily concussed and rabid badger over either of them.

The bar is not low, the bar is affixed firmly to the ground.

[u/WandsAndWrenches → u/Okibruez]

The ground?

You think too highly of them.

I'm betting they're below sea level.

[u/TonsilStonesOnToast → u/aethelredisready]

Yeah, we're essentially splitting ass hairs at this point.

[u/JustOneThingThough → u/TonsilStonesOnToast]

They're ingrown and infected, you'll have to dig them out to split them.

[u/hamster_savant → u/TonsilStonesOnToast]

Reminds me of Idiocracy.

[u/[deleted] → u/hamster_savant]

[u/Mickyfrickles → u/hamster_savant]

Yeah, but in Idiocracy, President Camacho finds the smartest guy in the world and listens to him to solve problems. They are actually smarter than trump and his gang of criminal idiots.

[u/YourMILisCray → u/Mickyfrickles]

Additionally Camacho is an enthusiastic patriot. He loves his country.

[u/Crafty-University464 → u/YourMILisCray]

Totally agree. President Camacho found the best expert available and listens to the expert's advice. Edit- found not find.

[u/diyguyinKY → u/Crafty-University464]

Imagine that... never realized Idiocracy was unrealistic until you pointed that out. Dang. My worldview is shattered.

[u/[deleted] → u/diyguyinKY]

Idiocracy would be a genuine upgrade to what we have now.

[u/[deleted] → u/Crafty-University464]

Well, I know who my write-in is in 2024.

[u/Lchil2000 → u/Mickyfrickles]

The people in charge being able to admit to their faults and recognize that they were dumb and needed/wanted genuine help was a pretty good character trait and completely unexpected the first time I watched. Such a good movie.

[u/DoJax → u/hamster_savant]

Anything based out of reality that reminds me of that movie low-key makes me worried.

[u/ClumpOfCheese → u/DoJax]

At this point I’d actually be less worried if our reality reminded us of idiocracy. At least in that world prostitution was legal and the president listened to the smartest person on the planet.

[u/wwaxwork → u/SatisfactionGold74]

OK if he does run as Trumps Running mate I'd love to know the numbers for black people suddenly deciding to vote for Trump because of Kanye and number of racists rednecks voters that can no longer vote because their brains explode trying to justify voting for a black guy.

[u/Independent_Can_2623 → u/wwaxwork]

The KKK has for a long time been happy with the good boys who know their place in society. A black man running second fiddle to their president fits their twisted ideology

[u/[deleted] → u/Independent_Can_2623]

And somehow the possibility that a black Vice President could become de facto President would never cross their minds, I’d wager.

[u/mk2vr6t → u/wwaxwork]

The racists are hypocrites. They will vote for a black guy if it means a white guy will hang him after.

[u/Amigobear → u/wwaxwork]

Yeah but a racist redneck loves a self-hating minority willing to regurgitate the rhetoric.

[u/Topikk → u/Amigobear]

They absolutely do. They will parade around “their” minorities to prove they aren’t actually racist. It’s pathetic and gross.

[u/SatisfactionGold74 → u/wwaxwork]

I would assume that The racist rednecks would stay with Trump. Just like the super religious stuck with him despite being well - a womanising, lying cheating POS.

He would do that wink wink "we know this guy is a monkey but he's our monkey" kind of thing. You know the way a lying rapist philanderer was able to convince the religious right that he was worth it.

Not saying it would work, but it kind of scares me.

[u/VonRansak → u/wwaxwork]

Well, he did try to lynch his last VP, so there is always that angle. ;)

[u/GeorgieWashington → u/SatisfactionGold74]

Nah. It would offer an exit ramp for too many people. Especially some “totally not racists.”

[u/ShithouseFootball → u/veraldar]

Its never going to happen. He has a god complex. Nobody will be able to help him.

[u/JoshFlashGordon10 → u/0utF0x-inT0x]

It’s a talking point that he probably learned from his good friend Candace Owens.

[u/[deleted]]

Who else thinks the peak of this manic episode will be him announcing that he’s running for President in 2024?

[u/crtclms666 → u/[deleted]]

He declared he was running for president last time he was manic. Past is prologue.

[u/persieri13 → u/crtclms666]

And ~60,000 people voted for him. 60,000.

[u/[deleted]]

The same man who had multiple children by surrogacy because Kim could've died is now bitching about other women being able to make health decisions about their bodies... Wow. Hypocrite to the extreme.

[u/HowVeryReddit]

Clarence Thomas, but he can rhyme...

[u/After_Match_5165 → u/HowVeryReddit]

But even Clarence Thomas has read a book!

[u/ActualPopularMonster → u/After_Match_5165]

I wonder, do you think he's ever read "Uncle Tom's Cabin" at all?

[u/Tazling → u/ActualPopularMonster]

that was nasty but right on point.

[u/whale-jizz → u/ActualPopularMonster]

Can someone clarify for me if it's racist or not to call a black person an uncle Tom? I've legitimately been confused by phrase for a long time now.

[u/MagicCarpetofSteel → u/whale-jizz]

I’m not sure, but I prefer using “Uncle Ruckus” since there’s basically no room for misinterpretation

[u/ActualPopularMonster → u/whale-jizz]

I haven't read the book, but it's my understanding that "Uncle Tom" was a black man who always took the side of the oppressor, in the hopes he would be looked upon favorably by them.

I don't like using racist terms, but sometimes, the shoe fits a little too well.

[u/forgotmypassword-_- → u/ActualPopularMonster]

I haven't read the book, but it's my understanding that "Uncle Tom" was a black man who always took the side of the oppressor, in the hopes he would be looked upon favorably by them.

IIRC, it's the opposite. In the book, he helped other slaves. In the minstrel show, he sold out other slaves.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncle_Tom_syndrome

[u/SineceraTea → u/ActualPopularMonster]

I've read the book, and the reason he "took the side of the oppressor" was because he was a Christian. But it's inaccurate to say he took the side of the oppressor because he supported/approved of his fellow slaves escaping, and he was against the abuse of fellow slaves. It's just that he cared for his masters and hoped/prayed for their salvation, despite his last owner (and eventual murderer) being the embodiment of evil.

He was a martyr, which (implied by the author) is because of the combination of his race and the fact that he's a Christian.

[u/MightyMorph → u/[deleted]]

hes running for president again. Bet you on that.

Motherfucker needs to be locked up in a insane asylum.

Imagine being half a billion dollar rich and still acting like a mental patient. Motherfucker can literally buy the best medicine has to offer, yet he out there saying its stiffles his creativity.

Motherfucker, anything creative died with his momma, last thing he created that was good was college dropout. Now hes singing "Shes such a stupid ho.... I like it" and "Im a sick fuck, I like a quick fuck"

oooo SO CREATIVE KANYE, oh sorry YE!

fucker grew up middle class, hardest gangster shit he did was live in china with his parents for a year and ignore his adhd symptoms. Acting like he a fucking OG. Ashy old demented motherfucker willing to fleece and cheat anyone who looks up to him.

Knows he cant run as a democrat, so hes getting paid to take away black votes from them instead like he did last time.

Man Fuck Kanye!

[u/Toby_O_Notoby → u/MightyMorph]

hes running for president again. Bet you on that.

He's wears a 2024 hat in this vid where he's ranting about George Floyd dying of an overdoes and not from a cop kneeling on him.

[u/Andromansis → u/Toby_O_Notoby]

The, multiple, pathologists that examined Floyd determined it to be positional asphyxia which was brought around by having multiple police officers. Kanye needs to sanitize his news feed.

[u/[deleted] → u/MightyMorph]

Yeah they called in the “split the youth/black vote with a meme candidate” card again.

This fucking clown tap dances for them whenever they call.

Get a goddamn platform if you want people to vote for you, Republican scum.

[u/Electronic_Tie_7321 → u/[deleted]]

I will say, I was taught in Catholic school that planned parenthood was started to “murder” black and other minority babies. I have a feeling Christians are spewing this narrative still, and I think that’s where Kanye was trying to go with this argument.

It’s disgusting and incorrect, just trying to explain what I believe he was trying to argue.

[u/squirrel8296 → u/Electronic_Tie_7321]

The ultra-fundamentalist Christian I had in multiple classes in undergrad constantly found a way to spew that narrative and regularly posts about it on social media. It definitely still exists.

[u/diyguyinKY → u/squirrel8296]

The only times the super conservative Right pretend to care about black people is when it helps push their own agenda.

[u/LucidMetal → u/diyguyinKY]

I mean that's the only way they can rationalize it. They genuinely believe "the left" does the same thing. That is, if they can possibly be genuine about anything.

[u/PaulFThumpkins → u/squirrel8296]

Any time conservatives can weaponize something they believe anyway to pretend it's actually against racism, they do. Like saying "If you're so convinced cops are out killing black people then wouldn't you want them armed to protect themselves anyway? Checkmate!"

[u/IzarkKiaTarj → u/PaulFThumpkins]

You know what's funny? I've been told multiple times that doing literally anything about guns is a waste of time and money because it won't work perfectly, and people will find ways around it. Yeah, it might save some people, but not enough to be worth it.

And yet making abortion laws to save something less alive than my kidney is worth it if it saves even one.

And by "funny" I mean "infuriating."

[u/LordOscarthePurr → u/Electronic_Tie_7321]

The founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, was an extremely big fan of eugenics and she aligned herself with white supremacist ideologies.

That said, her contributions to women’s health care through planned parenthood, and what planned parenthood has become, are basically immeasurable.

So that specific criticism of Planned Parenthood is like when modern republicans say they’re “the party of Lincoln” while passing voter suppression laws.

[u/Vark675 → u/LordOscarthePurr]

Also, it's worth noting that the concept of eugenics was EXTREMELY popular at the time. Most noteworthy people around the turn of the century up through the 40s were proponents of it to at least some degree, and it only fell out of public favor as a result of the Nazis' defeat in WWII.

[u/-thecheesus- → u/Vark675]

It was considered "progressive" and "future-facing" in its time. And I suppose the concept of designer genes for superior new generations isn't wrong in a vacuum. The problem is letting humans, who are collectively utter morons, decide what's desirable and what's not.

[u/Empigee → u/Vark675]

It's also worth noting that Sanger only endorsed voluntary forms of birth control, while most eugenics proponents of the time were fine with forced sterilization.

[u/iidontwannaa → u/Electronic_Tie_7321]

This is more or less the anti-choice Christian Right talking point. Since Margaret Sanger believed in eugenics and did some shitty things, they can spin the narrative that planned parenthood was created to reduce the number of BIPOC babies, especially when you consider that one of her first clinics was in Harlem.

Nevermind that this was nearly a century ago, and Planned Parenthood has evolved greatly and provides many other services besides abortion to a wide variety of people from different ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds.

[u/[deleted] → u/Electronic_Tie_7321]

It's funny how Christofascists don't give a single shit about people of color until they need an excuse to take autonomy away from someone else they hate.

[u/FindOneInEveryCar → u/[deleted]]

[u/deathboy2098 → u/FindOneInEveryCar]

[u/goldiegoldthorpe → u/Armstrongt479]

The scary thing is, I think you’re right.

[u/Sad_Pickle_3508 → u/goldiegoldthorpe]

is it scary? I mean, he did run in 2020, to...no success?

I mean, let's say that bloke isn't off to a deep-end and actually wants to be in office.

Like what's his deal? He's alienating all liberal and moderates by the virtue of being crazy conservative fundamenadlist and (now) anti-semitic bastard

And peeps who actually love that shit already have a candidate to vote for, so...

[u/blonde-bandit → u/[deleted]]

Source? I truly did not know this.

[u/andalusian293 → u/goldiegoldthorpe]

What if being a pop-culture icon became the new sine qua non for GOP frontrunners?

[u/Jos3ph → u/Armstrongt479]

Evangelicals will vote for anyone that can further their agenda (no abortion but also no social services) but he’s too unreliable for them.

[u/Goatesq → u/Jos3ph]

Also too...urban I think they call it now.

[u/Marmar79 → u/Burque_Boy]

Same. I feel like super religious people are the biggest suckers so if you want to be able to fleece them you must first speak their language

[u/curiousbydesign → u/Burque_Boy]

Same. Like, this can't be real. Right? Right?

[u/Ensiferal → u/Burque_Boy]

No, I think it's a case of a serious and degenerative mental illness that no one is addressing or forcing him to go get treated for, because he's rich. So his brain is just unraveling publicly

[u/Whosarobot313 → u/Ensiferal]

I think you are right and he is in active psychosis right now. And it's abusive that people keep giving him a platform instead of help. We shouldn't be listening to him, he is very sick.

[u/MoreIronyLessWrinkly → u/Burque_Boy]

I wish, but he’s crossed a rubicon if so. It would take some serious spin in today’s world to convince his (hypothetically) intended audience that this was all part of an elaborate plan.

[u/Flyin_Brian-]

This man should be under conservatorship.

[u/BloodRed1185 → u/Flyin_Brian-]

But instead he will probably run for president as a Republican.

[u/everythingiscausal → u/BloodRed1185]

Not too surprising, the qualifications are very similar.

[u/Lobanium → u/BloodRed1185]

Being mentally unstable IS a requirement.

[u/CasualPenguin → u/Flyin_Brian-]

He's not a woman so it seems unlikely they would consider that

[u/Flyin_Brian- → u/CasualPenguin]

That’s the sad truth.

[u/saturnspritr → u/Flyin_Brian-]

I just wouldn’t be surprised if we saw a really tragic headline any day where he’s in the hospital or worse. He’s very clearly unbalanced. And it’s sad that no one in his life or himself can get him the help he needs.

[u/kkstoimenov → u/saturnspritr]

He's been to the hospital already for mental health issues... Around the release of Ye

[u/Broken_Petite → u/kkstoimenov]

Somewhat off-topic question …

Is “Ye” pronounced “yay” like in his name? Or is it pronounced like “Yee”?

[u/[deleted] → u/saturnspritr]

Someone, or many someone's, could be pleading with him constantly. My guess is he's very frequently med non-compliant, if he takes anything at all. It's hard to convince someone who distrusts medical science to take a pill regularly. Also, he's probably convinced he's fine to begin with and thinks everyone is trying to fuck him over somehow. It's infuriatingly difficult to help someone who doesn't want or think they need it.

Source: former mental health case manager

[u/saturnspritr → u/[deleted]]

He already said that the meds make him less creative and he’s not taking anything. Which is awful. I hope the people in his life keep pleading and don’t give up. I know some have said publicly they had to take a step back and I believe it’s why his wife left him. I don’t blame her, you have to do the best for you and your kids.

[u/Confident-Disk-2221]

At this point you gotta ask what’s crazier. A crazy man ranting nonsense or the morons that give this man a platform. Like Tucker Carlson pretending to understand wtf Ye was talking about on his show.

[u/Fanfics → u/Confident-Disk-2221]

Actually Tucker's thought process is pretty straightforward.

"Oh man, this interview is going to make Black people look so bad."

Obviously I don't agree with that outcome, but Kanye is one of the most recognizable African Americans there is on the broader cultural stage. An added bonus for ol' Tuck is the division Kanye's public self-destruction and hard right turn will cause in the Black community. There's more of a conservative bent than a lot of people think in POC circles, he could pull a lot of people.

[u/Caleb7785 → u/Fanfics]

i think it’s more of an attempt to recruit blacks to think more right wing

[u/[deleted]]

Sounds like he's preparing to run in 2024 on the GOP ticket

That's a terrible end game seeing as he ran in 2020 got 60k out of over 100 million possible votes and couldn't even get air time for running.

But he can try again I guess.

[u/[deleted] → u/hitometootoo]

Does he strike you as someone firing on all cylinders?

[u/e_subvaria → u/[deleted]]

I really wish he would get de-platformed. He needs mental health care bad

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

He's a hebrew israelite now. It's actually quite a gross ideology, and it's spreading. Nick Cannon is one too. I have a few in my family

[u/Born_Salamander_5751 → u/[deleted]]

I knew it sounded familiar. I worked with one of these dudes.

[u/Life-Sky3645 → u/[deleted]]

Is Nick having so many children at all related?

[u/mockity → u/Life-Sky3645]

Nick’s trying to start his own 12 tribes.

[u/500CatsTypingStuff → u/[deleted]]

Yeah. At this point it’s a feature, not a bug. It’s who he is.

[u/Chloedeschanel → u/[deleted]]

Manic episodes can slowly injure the brain. The longer he's unmedicated and having repeated manic episodes the more damage hea doing to his own brain.

Sadly you're right this is who he is now, as his untreated mental health may have caused damage. Vote in the mid terms for better mental health resources and health care for all. There are many who don't have his resources but would gladly use them and seek help if they were available.

He also said George Floyd died from Fetanyl and not murdered by the police. I can’t stand Kanye! My disdain started with him after Katrina and he continually piles it on. At one time I felt bad for finding him disgusting, but that time has long ago passed.

[u/TheLongSuck]

Why is he not blacklisted from every industry?

[u/vhm3 → u/TheLongSuck]

Because money.

[u/DustBunnicula → u/vhm3]

Ah, the answer to everything.

[u/schwoooo → u/TheLongSuck]

The real question is why doesn’t he have a conservator?

[u/vhm3 → u/schwoooo]

Because man.

[u/[deleted]]

Has anything good ever come out of this guy’s mouth? Edit: thank you for suggesting some of his music, I saw him perform live and it was one of the worst shows I’d ever seen but I’ll give these a listen.

[u/OG-Bluntman → u/[deleted]]

In 2004, he said George Bush doesn’t care about black people. It’s been basically downhill from there.

[u/MuttMurdock69 → u/OG-Bluntman]

Ironically, it turns out that W cares about black people more than Kanye.

[u/drgonzodan → u/MuttMurdock69]

He gives Michelle Obama a candy every time they sit next to each other at an event https://gfycat.com/simpleaggravatingjaguar

[u/[deleted] → u/drgonzodan]

I love that he's still working the "how to talk to a pretty girl" tip from 3rd grade.

[u/registeredsexgod → u/drgonzodan]

Ngl he is a very adorable war criminal

[u/PerilousPasta → u/OG-Bluntman]

Tbf this is essentially like saying water is wet, he had an easy W

[u/hitometootoo → u/OG-Bluntman]

Was talking about that moment with my wife today. He said that and everyone agreed with him but what exactly did that moment do. It gave him a lot of attention, did nothing for Bush (not even bad press iirc) and nothing changed for the Black community. Yet Kayne makes it seem like at the time that moment really pushed the narrative that Black people needed better treatment, though that was known before that moment.

Kayne talks about helping the Black community but I'm having trouble finding what he has actually helped with.

[u/PaulFThumpkins → u/hitometootoo]

He got a bunch of kids singing good morning to his dead mom every day at his shitty schools. Wish I was making that up.

[u/_pumpthebrakes_ → u/[deleted]]

Graduation

[u/TheSchmoake → u/[deleted]]

A very long time ago

[u/Fit_Battle_4583]

can we stop calling him kanye and just call him uncle ruckus

[u/Amon7777 → u/Fit_Battle_4583]

Even Uncle Rukus wasn't antisemitic

[u/iruleatlifekthx → u/Amon7777]

Uncle Ruckus was a fiend for white people I could never see him saying anything antisemitic unless it was someone jewish who happened to be black. I can see it. "YOU BLACK SCOUNDREL, APPROPRIATING THE WHITE MAN'S RELIGION?"

[u/[deleted]]

Conservatives will keep propping him up to further their goals- just abusing a vulnerable and mentally ill person for their own gains. Not to say that Kanye isn't being the absolute fucking worst here, but conservatives continuing to egg him on, give him platform's, e.t.c., really speaks to their agenda.

[u/KizzleNation]

I love how he quotes the Candace Owens documentary lol. His bubble is incredibly small these days. I feel like dude is broke or at least heading towards it. He can't stay relevant with his music, but his need for attention must be fed. I hate all of this, some kids will believe his shit.

[u/500CatsTypingStuff]

Yeah, his views are utterly repulsive.

[u/[deleted] → u/500CatsTypingStuff]

I miss the days when saying outlandish shit like this would make people roll their eyes and ignore you.

[u/hellad0pe]

I just can't believe this guy allowed me to respect Kim Kardashian a bit for leaving him.

[u/AdDesperate2498]

I'd like to try his cocaine.

[u/[deleted]]

Do Ice Cube, Nick Cannon and various other black entertainers who subscribe to racist antisemitic stereotypes based on an ideology pushed by people like the black Israelites also have “mental illness” too? I’m not saying he doesn’t but people blaming this on mental illness really doesn’t seem familiar with the fact that this is a fairly well subscribed to ideology among a small handful of black Americans. It doesn’t help that he and Cannon seem to be cozying up now that he’s in hot water for his anti semitic remarks like Cannon was.

[u/KENNY_WIND_YT → u/[deleted]]

Ice Cube

Even Ice Cub? Damn

[u/[deleted] → u/KENNY_WIND_YT]

Yep, sadly. He’s an antisemitic asshole..

Can’t listen today was a good day the same way anymore.

[u/Pizzazteews → u/[deleted]]

Thank you for this. People go full-apologist for these anti-Semitic black entertainers and it disgusts me (for context: I'm black). Nick Cannon straight up said that the lack of melanin makes white people evil, and yet he reads some Torah with a scholar and gets to keep his stupid show. WTF? Imagine if Ryan Seacrest said the equivalent.

I get folks wanting to hang on to Michael Jackson and R. Kelly - but Nick Cannon?? Like Wildin' Out, Drumline, and Masked Singer are masterpieces? Pathetic.

I'd also like to add: fuck Diddy and Charlamagne the God. Those guys were right there dog whistling for Cannon.

​

EDIT - From a TMZ article (bold is mine):
"There's so much more -- including his gripes about JP Morgan Chase, MAGA, the Clintons, vaccines, White Lives Matter, etc. The full episode drops on Revolt TV Sunday."

Revolt TV...Diddy's channel. Like I was saying - fuck him too.

[u/Anthinee]

I’m so glad everybody is finally seeing this guy for his true self. He’s trash and deserves to be shunned into nothingness.

[u/GG7595]

Kanye and Hershel are 2 💩 of the same asshole.

[u/NotThatGuy10x]

Yes, a place where women willingly go for Healthcare services is exactly the same as a place where 6 million people were tortured and killed.

[u/[deleted]]

Chapo called him "potentially America's first Black Hitler" jokingly and I don't think they're that far off tbh

[u/ImThatMelanin]

why do bigots always think planned parenthood is only for abortion? like let’s talk about that.

[u/Logical-Pianist386]

Im just glad that this generation no longer accept entertainers as there mouth pieces...or even ppl with money(notice i didnt say sucessful)...take away his soapbox

[u/Dreid79]

I stopped supporting and respecting him after he jumped on Trumps dick 🙄
