Look at the replies to this.

Ok, and...

Good thing @123-Rosh wasn't making the decision.

The stuff he's said since I wrote that, changes the picture. I no longer support him. (Though I agree with his Soros comments)

[wayfe]

As I mentioned IMO the nail in the coffin was the podcast when he said "The thing about it being Adidas is like, I can literally say antisemitic s*** and they cannot drop me,"

That was 5 days ago.

Until then there was a whole mental health defense going on.

What conversation was that part of?

Watched his Tucker interview and making my way through Lex's...

This is truly scary. @CountValentine are you seeing the overwhelming ratio of people pointing out its “just facts”? This is Twitter, not Gab.

It's since been deleted, but perhaps google can still find it.

The sheer amount of people who think he is just being silenced for spewing facts. This is part of what causes REAL antisemitic violence.

I have been trying to explain this forever. They really believe he is stating facts.

Then maybe we shouldn't be silencing people for voicing their opinions- truthful or otherwise?

Whole saga will turn out to be a giant confirmation bias bomb for him (which may have been his shtick all along)

[ExGingi]

For the benefit of those who don't really know the story, could someone summarize in a Wiki the following:

1. Who is this guy?
2. What did he say? (if multiple important things, please list).

This is the age-old problem with confronting antisemitism. it's lose lose.

"The Jews control the media!"
"Dude, that's racist bigotry, shut your mouth!"
"See?!"

Or:

"The Jews control the media!"
....
"See?!"

Probably the most influential black entertainer/celebrity. Michael Jordan status. Was married to Kim Kardasdian. KK is the twitter queen. Puts Trump to shame.

“I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE. The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda," West said in the now removed tweet.

And the ultimate blow. $10,000,000,000 company erased because of a comment on social media. Everything he says is true. This is cannon fodder for his fans...

Lose-lose, yet every Jewish influencer, content creator, internet personality, etc, etc is seething and gleefully calling for this man to be decimated.

I mean, honestly, does this drivel even rate among the top anti-jewish comments? Would our grandparents even blink at such words?

Thank you.

A couple of follow-up questions:
1. Is he a professional sports player? If not, what's the connection to Adidas?
2. What's "death con 3"?

[WonderingYid]

Kanye said worse stuff since then I think.

The nail in the coffin was for sure when he said "The thing about me and Adidas is like, I can literally say anti-semitic s**t, and they can't drop me," Ye says, before repeating himself slowly and solemnly. "I can say anti-Semitic things, and Adidas can't drop me. Now what? Now what?"

People say ye wanted the contract dropped.

He started as a rapper. He now has his hands in music, clothes and many other things. His gym shoes go for big bucks. My son made a nice profit of them. 
An attack on him will be considered an attack on all blacks.

The way he used it "kill/destroy/hurt them all", not literally.

[CountValentine]

His last comment would suggest that.

Again, this is *exactly* the rhetoric that drives real violence against Jews, and Kanye is about as influential a celebrity as there is. This ranks way higher than anything from Farrakhan, Duke, or any other American I can think of in modern times in terms of dangerous rhetoric. (obviously not counting actual violence)

Our grandparents lived during the Holocaust. Just because Kanye isn't Hitler, doesn't mean this is not pretty terrible.
