Oh please. There is definitely a resurgence of nazis, but candance owens following aren't them, christ.

Also, Kanye has tweeted so much positivity on his twitter, forgive him if his political leaning is different from yours. A lot of overreacting and no tolerance here to people having different views.
The Alt-Right don't just have different views.

Turns out liberals only want POC to speak when they align with their own views, who knew? Some of the reactions in this thread are so laughable. Someone literally called him a secret nazi in this thread. A nazi.

Given Ye's influx of tweets, it was only a matter of time that he said something dumb and controversial.

I don't know much about this Candance Owens women, she seems to be a shit bag though, but given that's she's Black I bet Kanye watched one clip of hers where she said something maybe somewhat reasonable and then wrote that tweet. Kanye has always been smart dumb and both overthinks things while not thinking enough

We'll see if walks it back or doubles down

I tried to watch her "tax cuts" video and 35 seconds in I had to stop the video because her logic is "tax cuts mean more money for everyone, it makes sense, why would you have to explain that". Jesus god damn and she almost has 200,000 subs and people just believe that garbage? She literally knows absolutely jack shit about it and yet people believe her...

This is why Jay won't let Blue hang out with your daughter.

A poster with 5 posts is just asking questions.

Are you saying Trump and the alt right is the face of conservatism?

To those saying separate the artist from the work or still going to enjoy his music, do you really think he gives a shit? As long as he's getting your money and has legions of impressionable fans none of them give a shit that deep inside you are unhappy with them as you hit the buy button.

Out of interest, who is the acceptable face of US conservatism these days? According to the internet, everyone seems to be alt-right or a nazi, so who are the politicians and commentators who lean right but are still socially acceptable?

Also from my observation the largest group of people voicing disdain with Kanye's tweets are not self-proclaimed liberals but black people.

So we can end the narrative that liberals want to silence POC voices in this situation. Black people at large are the ones criticizing Kanye.

You might be right. I think it's completely fair to criticise him because he usually says things without thought or reason. I just don't like the 'he's a nazi now/Uncle Tom' broad statements some people throw around. It contributes nothing to the discussion.

I mean, if someone is subscribing to fucked up views, they're gonna be called out, no matter who they are or what color their skin is. Especially if they say something publicly.
Also whatever. If people on the right want to stop being called nazis then people on the right should stop defending and posturing for nazis.

You're the one suggesting thinking 'black people should just get over slavery' and 'overpolicing isn't about racism' are just different views people should just allow into the broader spectrum of political thought.

What are you contributing to discussion?

OK here you go. Let's you and I discuss Candace. Ready? Where does she make valid points?

This is where we will agree with each other, I've watched a few clips of her just to see what Kanye was tweeting about and pretty much didn't agree with anything she said. I watched the Black Panther review she did and rolled my eyes throughout the whole thing. I lean left. I just think this forum is better to just immediately call Kanye (whom I don't particularly like) a nazi because of one tweet. We can call him a jackass and express disappointment, etc, etc

I appreciate the offer for discussion though (sorry if this is a cop out).

I will say my comment before did seem troll-y and I honestly didn't want it to come out that way.

Wasn't he already the biggest asshole in the music industry?
Didn't he meet with Trump the week he won the elections?

Well... That's that then. This might be the line for me Mr. West.

He don't know shit about her. If he did, he'd know she thinks blacks are victims and need to get over slavery. Her points are only valid to her and Trump's base.

I've never heard of her maybe she's not a total piece of shi--

Owens — a frequent guest on Fox News and InfoWars — launched a website and YouTube channel in 2017 called Red Pill Black, which promotes black conservatism. She has hailed President Trump as not "just the leader of the free world, but the savior of it as well," and has been known to blast Black Lives Matter.

Yeah no, shut that shit down.

Nah, the whole idea is that by calling them the nazi word you dilute the atrocities of what they did which I agree with..

...except nazi's circa 1924 was also 'far right facists' sprouting the same stuff these guys do today. Perhaps we can come to an impass and call them...baby nazi's? Nazi's in training? Undergrad nazi's? LOL

Wannabe Nazis?

Yeah, but I understand the beef. This is the same dude while said troll antics were going on was pretty socially progressive in his music even in his lunatic era (a large amount of Yeezus).

The post Pablo behavior ; meeting trump, this shit...is pretty low, even for him.

On the flipside it shows how much of a tool 'gotta hear both sides' is for the far-right...they are pissing themselves with glee at the hint of an endorsement

"Dilute?" The fuck? That is some useful idiot shit. This doesn't have as much to do with what they did back then as it does their ideology. They dont get to rename their fucking movement to pretty it up for the mainstream. A Nazi is a nazi. plain and simple
