Reply to comment by CthuluTheGrand in NYT columnist thanks Ye for raising awareness on antisemitism by boogerfact

CNN recently reported that he’s been telling friends about his admiration of Hitler for years. Evidently he said something similar to a TMZ reporter in 2018 (the “slavery is a choice” interview) but editors cut it out of the story.

I come from a country which has problems with adulation for toxic celebrities (India), but the USA takes it to a new level with rationalising the bullshit celebrities do. This guy released a good album almost 2 decades ago. He's released some decent music since then as well. But somehow he is regarded as some great thinker when he's always been a shallow, angry little moron. But you will have so called liberals celebrating him because he's apparently a black man who made it big. Only goes to show how shallow those people are.

Idk if you live in the USA, bc if you do, you’re being either blind or want to stir shit up. Trump loves himself some Kanye. As they say: conservative monkey see, conservative monkey do. Conservatives love Kanye

Conservatives have now started liking Kanye and that's because they like anyone who spews vile hateful shit. But up until now, he was also covered very sympathetically by liberal media. And a lot of people justified his bullshit. Always thought he's an overrated asshole. His above average music doesn't justify his obnoxious attitude.

Meh, you’re right. Liberal corporate media here is a complete joke as well.
