All the white people coming out to cancel Ye on LinkedIn. They were just itching at the chance to bad mouth a successful black artist. Don’t be fooled. There’s more meaning behind this than it seems. They’ve been doing this to black celebs for years. The late Paul Mooney has a term for it. It’s called the “N**** Wake-up Call” or NWUC. They did it to OJ, MJ, Mike Tyson, Tiger Woods, etc. These white people are not bad mouthing Ye, they are trashing the black creative movement. See through it.

If it isn't satire like C1 suggested, counterpoint: they're canceling him because he made some super crazy and bigoted statements recently about Jewish folks. Not to mention he's been running his mouth to Tucker Carlson, Trump and the like for the last few years. He has been on a downward spiral for a long time and I personally don't think it's anyones fault but his own lmao. I don't understand why the community would ride for someone who 1. Doesn't think slavery was real or believe Harriet Tubman freed any slaves. Like the fact that this wasn't enough and I still have more reasons should tell you all you need to know. 2. Claims that George Floyd died by fentanyl and not from a knee to the throat and 3. Was so out of pocket that he made us actually feel bad for K*m K*rdashian. Sometimes when you f*ck around you find out and that's what's happening here.

Ah ok, this makes a bit more sense to me. I can no longer support Kanye and I understand why brands don't want to either, but I do recognize that white folks love to see a Black man fail or a Black creative fail.

What I’ve noticed is everyone up in arms about his anti-Semitic comments. But, an odd silence for his anti-Black ones. He said one thing about Jewish people, and got cancelled. He’s been talking sideways about our culture for years—including but not limited to his latest foray in white lives matter fashion—and the only people pissed about it were us.

Manager1 exactly. Community continued to support and now we complain cos one community is talking a stronger stance. Even for r Kelly you go to some place and they play his music. This is some sad ass shit

Is this satire.

Nah not defending the doofus that said slavery was a choice. I’m good. He is not for the betterment of black people. Kanye West is for self. Nothing more. Nothing les.

I don’t think anyone is defending him. It’s more of a call to awareness of white people bashing him on LinkedIn. They aren’t bashing him over slavery comments. Or his comments about black people. They’ve been waiting to bash him after that. Now the moment has come. It’s not out of protest. It’s out of hate for the culture he created which advanced a movement of black influence to the likes to which the world has never seen. Now that black empire falls. Now they can celebrate.

Please. Kanye got rightfully cancelled because he's an insane anti-semetic bigot. And OJ brutally killed two people. We need to stop giving passes to undesirables.
