It's not like he's been saying this stuff to a lesser extent for years
Yeah but then the 21 Jump Street remake completely changed his life...somehow.
I just read it and wow that was a wild tweet.
He realized he was wrong about an entire people due to an actor's performance, not even something the actor did to show they were a good person.
Lectures the general public on what everyone knows already.
Claims Christians can't be antisemitic. Might have meant antisemitics can't be Christian or that Christians shouldn't be antisemitic, but honestly hard to tell.

This is a story about how corporations don't actually mind outright Nazism, but they'll bemoan the necessity to disavow Nazis, if it hurts their profits not to

I hate everything about that sentence, the words, how they're placed, all of it.

NGL adidas, being one of two companies that were started by essentially heirs to the dude who got rich designing and manufacturing the nazi boots, then later saying “ol antisemitic yeezy isn’t that bad right?” for hopes of more money.. is admittedly a really bad look.
Well that's an interesting stance for a company founded by a literal Nazi to take.
And who is going to believe that?
Gullible Kanye fans
Adidas has chosen poorly.
I hope that one day, I can say some wildly inoffensive thing that causes me to be shunned by society. And then some billion dollar company CEO goes, "Nah he didn't mean it."
Knowing people with severe bipolar Kanye always makes me sad. He refuses to be on medicine and just says wild shit. It doesn't excuse any of his statements, but he could still come back from this. Fat Kanye was happy.
You don't just start spouting hateful rhetoric without putting some thought into it beforehand.
That's the Yedolf we've come to know ~~and love~~.
Oh, okay, we’ll then don’t worry about it /s
Say what you will about the guy, but his music is brilliant.
I thought you were serious for a minute, I was about to start ranting about Life of Pablo being overrated trash.
