I am sort of out of the loop as I don’t really use social media like FB or Instagram or whatever is cool at the moment.
They were saying in the news that Kanye West doubled down on his antisemitic and anti-black remarks/tweets and because of that a bench of companies were dropping him.
They didn’t mention which remarks were those but they did say he wore some “white lives matter” shirt in some Paris show or something.
So I did a quick Google show and couldn’t find what he said against jews or blacks.
I mean, there’s a bunch of people talking about it in interviews but I didn’t really hear them mention exactly what he said other than some vague stuff.
I did find out he said that George Floyd died because of Fentanyl and not the Police so Floyd’s family was suing him for millions for that. WTF!!!
So, anyone knows what Kanye said that was so bad? Or is everyone losing their mind over nothing?
It is interesting to me that I’ve heard about this story on the radio a few times, but I haven’t heard any details other then he reportedly wore a “white lives matter” shirt and said antisemitic things. The details on what he said are left out. I am asking myself why is it that they aren’t speaking on what he actually said.
George Floyd’s family has left me with the impression, that they are very much after as much money as they can get out of his death. I think the lawyers are the ones that will be making the most money in this case.
“Going death con 3 ON JEWISH PEOPLE”
“Not anti-semetic because black people are actually Jew also”
“Diddy is being controlled by the Jewish people”
Allegedly a Neo-Nazi group
Because nothing he said was actually that bad, even more so when you consider this a man with a known mental health disorder who has had outbursts like this before.
The excuse is lame, but it seems to be him being upset about Jewish people in the recording industry making money off of Black artists.
It seems his complaints are related to the tropes about Jewish people being greedy.
While I think the response is stupid (making a WLM shirts, stickers, etc…), I think only a small minority of those with those products are related to Neo-Nazis.
Whoever is in charge, Jewish or otherwise, is making money off of all the artists, including white. The question is, why does it only matter when it’s a Jewish person who is making money?
I think NWA perhaps too. I could be wrong, but I thought in straight out of Compton they addressed this.
Past a certain point, more money doesn’t really do much other than lead to excessive wealth. I do have a feeling a lot of this money will be squandered though. George was a winning lottery ticket for the family. I’d bet if they had the option of having George back, or the money they currently have gotten, they would choose the latter.
Just doing something useful with the money other than making a few people excessively rich seems like a better use of it.
It doesn’t IMO. He is mad there is a middle man. IDK why it matters what type that person is.
