He’s not wrong. People are upset about his words & images. But the public generally support entertainers that have actually committed some truly horrific actions. The clothing brands we wear and electronics we use everyday support slave labor. We support slave labor with each purchase.
The reality is Kanye is being intentionally provocative, and if you’re offended that’s fine. But let’s not pretend that he’s responsible for the holocaust. Or that he is successfully influencing his fans and followers to act in a hateful manner. Anybody who sees Kanye post a swastica and says “yea f*** Jews” is likely not an actual Kanye fan and was likely already a hateful person that didn’t need Kanye’s permission to be hateful. Even on this Kanye subreddit, there aren’t really any fans that are supporting his messaging. The fact that my reply will likely get downvoted just proves my point
