I couldn't have taken enough drugs to write this timeline 20 years ago. WTF is happening? Maybe CERN did break the universe with the LHC
Harambee was our anchor being. Everything's been fraying at the edges since that day.
We had a second chance with Peanut the Squirrel. We fucked it up again.
The world really ended in 2012. We're living through the blooper reel.
the 2012 mayan apocalipse was real and we are now living in purgatory.
He knows he's black, right?
He's "one of the good ones" and rich so he's all good.
That's always worked out in the past.
This must be proof that equality has been reached. Now he can be a rich bigot too! Welcome!
What's insane is that FOX allowed this commercial to air in the first place. I'm sure someone at FOX will say "We had no idea he would put this on his site", which we'll all know is bullshit because they scrutinize the fuck out of every Super Bowl ad before it gets to air. There is a 0% chance that nobody knew about this beforehand.
At least the next Superbowl halftime show is going to be interesting:
Guys, just because he went on Alex Jones to make racist jokes and talk about how much he loves Hitler doesn't mean he's a nazi
Do we know when the website was changed? He could well have changed it the moment the advert went live.
I was on his website yesterday and there was no swastika then. There was "white lives matter" and a bunch of nazi-adjacent symbols with plausible deniability but no outright swastika.
ADL easily calls out this symbol as one “adopted by Hitler as the primary emblem of the Nazis,” but can’t say the same about an extremely recognizable salute also adopted by Hitler as a primary symbol of the Nazis.
The ADL is a zionist organization that was literally founded to protect a pedophile and child rapist who was, with no relevance to those actions whatsoever, Jewish. Do not take any of their "stances" as being for social justice.
If you see someone wearing that shirt, it is only right to deck them in the temple
lol what the fuck is going on in America?
Oh stop it you stupid leftys.
Maybe he just like the design of it.
Maybe he's autistic.
Anyway no need to start calling everyone nazis.
/s **** it's a joke**** please everyone be aware that I'm joking** Sorry but I need this to be crystal clear, it's a long story. Sometimes when someone tells you who they are, you should just believe them.
Sad to see that the dude's in this state. He clearly needs psychiatric care, not a platform from which to yell his absurdities.
*NazYe
One cannot help but notice that NBC is directing viewers to said website rather than other websites that are not owned by Kanye West and are not selling swastika T-shirts, which probably have a harder time getting potential customers to show up. I see that they also have pricing information and product photos.
One imagines that social media and similar probably also is directing a lot of people there.
This does suggest that West might be onto something.
In a world where people and organizations didn't discuss and link to the product, he might not have the same incentive.
GOOD! Let assholes put a literal target on their chest. I'm fine with this. Fuck me, I should start selling Nazi merchandise so I can track them.
I actually didn't know that this was legal to do in the U.S.
There aren't a lot of jurisdictions in the world that ban the sale or display of the swastika (in Nazi-supporting circumstances). Australia and Germany are the only ones that come to mind, and Australia has only done so very recently (this year).
It's like a Mel Brooks movie! The guy in charge standing with his nose in the air, says something that any normal person would think is dumb as hell. And all the "yes men" are like "Bravo!" "Bully!" "Good show!" "Excellent!"
This goes for the orange man and X dork as well...
The most surprising thing about this story is his X account being deleted, but it sounds like this may have been a voluntary exit.
And I was wrong about who was the dumbest person on Earth.
Anybody know what the official shop site is called? On yeezy(dot)com is only one item and that’s a white r-Shirt with a black swastika on the front.
The shop feels broken tho, because there are almost no ux elements.
Is he doing this to remain relevant?
Just an attention whore seeking attention.
