That's it he's proper fcuked now.

Because Kanye West has an enormous following, and with that comes enormous influence.
I didn't say something sinister was at play.
You are tacking-on anti-Semitic responses yourself, as you seem to see them as inseparable from simply knowing that in-group ethnocentrism exists (among Jews, Irish, Indians, Lebanese etc.)
There is a significant difference between being a business owner and just being in an industry.
The problem is that we only ever hear about over-representation of Jewish people in certain industries.
We never hear about religious over-representation elsewhere.
People prattle on about over-representation of Jews in X, Y and Z - knowing the most intimate details and statistics, the inns and outs, yet do not have a clue about any other forms of over-representation, be they religious or demographic or ethnic.
We have to ask the question: why is one religious group always singled out in this way?
It almost seems targeted, right?
And there's a very good reason for that.
Absolutely for the simple reason that Jews are disproportionately involved in ( American style) far left activism in the states , progressive politics in America has always had Jews heavily involved, add to that evangelicals ( while being ultra supportive of the state of Israel) tend not to like Judaism
as for Jews tending to dominate the industry chief roles in Hollywood, historic reasons for that , entertainment was seen as lacking respectability for a long time, same as finance so Jews ( rightly) said stuff it , we are going to do this ourselves and prosper, Jews do tend to be quite cliquey traditionally, again for very good reasons and this extended into keeping certain industries to their own tribe for the most part
Sounds like Spiderman , with great power comes great responsibility
How about people take personally responsibility & teach there kids just because a chap makes good music doesn't mean there a good person & everything they say is right ,
If only things were that simple, though.
The reality is that many people who adore Kanye West will take his words very seriously, even as adults.
The defence of some celebrities by some adults almost has a religious devotional dimension to it.
All you had to say was - "You're right, Hello 2D Person Below, I have no evidence and my claim is entirely baseless".
They are singled out by anti-semites no doubt.
As I said though, ethnic over-representation of ethnic groups in certain industries *is* common knowledge.
Everyone knows the Irish are the police gang in America. People in IT in the US know that Indians form a cooperative group within that industry - it is much talked-about.
Also:
Indians were expelled from Uganda in the 1970s after becoming economically successful.
Chinese merchants in Malaysia and other Asian countries face occasional violence for the same reason.
Anthropologists and sociologists use the term "market-dominant minorities" to describe other ethnicities who out-compete local majorities (and face expulsion or violence as retaliation for ensuing social resentment).
It's interesting, when Kanye started down the right wing internet rabbit hole, the more mainstream conservative internet figureheads (Ben Shapiro, Candice Owens, et al) couldn't get enough of it. Now they wouldn't go near him with a barge pole and he's stuck with fully avowed fascists like Nick Fuentes.
It's pretty clear he's suffering with severe mental health problems and depending on what his increasingly odious views are at any particular time, there will be a grifter ready to exploit that. It would be best for everyone if the mainstream media just ignored the situation, nobody needs to know what kind of muck he is spouting on Infowars or Timcast.
Unfortunately people like that have bigger issues ,
Completely agree.
And it only takes a tiny number of these nut-jobs to take out their rifles and attack a synagogue or kosher store.
That's precisely why West's words are so dangerous.
And Trump
I didnt know you had medical qualifications.
Jaysus. Thats some anti semetic paranoia going on.
ban please
he was proper jacked up according to Joe Rogan
Oh, there's always lower
If he makes a new album as good as the college dropout no one will care as his breakdown.
I've watched/followed Alex Jones since about 2009/10 and I've honestly never seen him this uncomfortable. Even during his recent court case he was jabbing at the judge in the courtroom and on his show afterwards.
If he had an ejection seat installed in the studio, he'd have given that bad boy a wallop yesterday.
I can't wait for Kanye's new album
Yes, they will. Not everyone has been guzzling the far right kool aid.
More chance of him converting to Judaism than making semi decent music again.
Well don't leave us hanging, after such an enthralling and informative post, you got to tell us the reason now...
Of course extreme mental health issues can be an 'excuse' in cases like this. I think what he said was pretty shocking but he's clearly in the throws of some kind of breakdown.
I didn't realise he had suffered a head injury in a car crash, brain damage can do crazy things to you. Read up on the case of Phineas Gage.
I don't think we'll have to worry about him releasing good music any time soon. The quality of his releases have been on a downward trajectory from what was a very high point in 2010.
Enjoying how the thread about reknowned anti-Semite Kanye going nuts has shown us the anti-Semite in our midst.
Any chance of a thread on buxom brunettes?
Id listen to it. I don't care about his crazy ramblings.
I won't. He's sh*t, frankly. If he wasn't, he wouldn't need to be glorifying Nazism.
He was really good though. im saying if he makes a good album id listen and go see him live.
Debatable. He won't make any more decent albums. He's trash now. Good riddance.
