Kanye West says he lost $2 bil in one day over anti-Semitic rants

At his level of public awareness about him this should be a hate crime.

As well, as an African-American he should know better than to incite inflammatory speech.

In the end profiteers will make thousands to hundreds of thousands who scoop up all of the last production runs of those hideously ugly Yeezy shoes they can find,

What a pathetic guy...

The people currently on the anti-semitism bandwagon were anti-Israel less than a year ago. Oh and anti any religion as well.

Should have kept his gob shut.

Free speech wasn't free.

Did he ever do anything important? I'm thinking not. Why is he famous?

The guy if free to say anything he likes, but he isn't free from repercussions from his speech. Say something dumb to the world, expect people who don't like it to hold you accountable. If you can live with that, great. Keep talking.

How childish.

Adults, including many Jews, can call out Israel’s behaviour without being anti-Semitic.

Similarly, adults can point out that Judaism is as nonsensical as other religions without being anti-Semitic. Some of the funniest and cleverest critics of Judaism are secular Jews. Check out Lewis Black.

Anyway, Ye is a crackpot.

One of Hollywood's biggest talent agencies, CAA, said it was dropping West, while film and TV producer MRC said it was shelving an already-finished documentary about the artist.

I am sure the trump organization is happy to pick him up and get him to do shows for the klan!

Unlike this case, Japanese corporations are very "tolerate" to discrimination rants of famous person or influencers unfortunately.

They lose nothing, their SNS accounts are not even banned.

its Defcon ,defense readiness condition, 1. highest level.

Defcon 5 is the lowest

naming Emanuel Ari, the CEO of entertainment company Endeavor, who had urged companies to sever ties with the rapper

The companies needed urging?

It is too bad, that fashion connections that Virgil made for African Americans with European mega luxury brands will all be re-evaluated, and likely in many cases terminated. Rich powerful white executives at public companies hate risk more Japanese public companies do I feel. Ye could have gone in a really changed a lot of companies if he was more politically appropriate, and opened up a lot of opportunities for all people of color. Sad situation all around.

And after he even said this just days before:

"I can say anti-Semitic things, and Adidas can't drop me. Now what? Now what?” Kanye is seen asking in a short video clip from the Oct. 16 episode of Drink Champs, a hip-hop community podcast hosted by N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN, which has since been taken down.

Doesn't he understand that Adidas is German - and thus a lot more sensitive about that subject

Ye said slavery was a choice, slaves were bought and sold. I guess you can say Ye was right, Logically in a sense because he didn't sell himself out. After all he lost 2 billion. How many people will do that before committing suicide? Just asking

Guys a textbook grandiose narcist and is to be ignored!

Inside a damaged child emotionally stunted in an adult body.

Slavery was a choice? Between what? Suicide and slavery?

Something is seriously wrong with his brain.

He needs to read some books, see some films. His hateful screeds and sassymouth lies are what got 6 million Jews exterminated during a 12-year period. What did Jews, or anybody else ever deserve to get that? All genocide is evil and inexcusable. Jew-bashing, Muslim-bashing, all. It always leads to violence sooner or later. Note how Oriental/East Asian Americans got the rap for coronavirus, unfairly. Violent hate crimes occurred against them, and there's no excusing that either.

Adults, including many Jews, can call out Israel’s behaviour without being anti-Semitic.

Similarly, adults can point out that Judaism is as nonsensical as other religions without being anti-Semitic. 

Israel is a political state with an old Biblical name. They've had good and bad PMs, but they are not Judaism itself. That's like saying that Saudi Arabia is Islam, and their government is oppressive and un-Islamic in nature. Or saying India is 'Hinduism', especially since India has A LOT more religions there than you can shake a stick at.

Judaism is simply a religion and there's nothing wrong with it. All this 'Zionist Elders' and 'Jewish conspiracy' lies is a load of hateful BS. And these lies are what led to 6 million of them being wiped out. It's inexcusable and there's no place for that crap today. Ye screwed up and as such he will pay the consequences for his gross immaturity and lack of sense and class.
