    Malcolm X said "The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent.” Media has the power to influence minds, ideas, behaviors, and attitudes of the masses.
  • He’s not losing his mind he’s been thinking like this and now he’s just simply speaking up
  • @theedwardian
    "We don't own everything... we'll just cancel you from everything on the planet" It's all so tiresome
  • @MarquettDavon
    Howard Stern called him Hiiitler...really? We have to acknowledge that these people are outrageous.
  • I don't think any group a people should be protected from criticism. The Jewish Community are no different than any other group, they are not perfect and can be criticized for their mistakes. No man is protected from free speech. They need to get over themselves. Anything can be considered anti-semitic if they choose so.

    YouTube doesn’t allow links, so these are just SOME from buzzfeed, to CBS, to MSNBC to NY Times, and even Disney. Sumner Redstone, Les Moonves, Bob Iger, Ben Sherwood, Brian L. Roberts, Jeff Zucker, Eli Goldstein, Ochs Sulzberger, Martin Baron, Jonah Peretti, Anthony Salz, Danny Cohen. Feel free to look all of them up, there is still 15+ more I didn’t even mention.

  • i think whats sad is not speaking the truth and saying what looks good for business.kanye has established a new platform of ideas and conscious thought.
  • KANYE DOES NOT CARE ABOUR THESE BRANDS. He’s building his own.
  • @mariejane1567
    so the george floyd comments were okay but not jewish comments
  • @chaz200711
    Kanye don’t care if those brands dropped him 🤣
  • Interesting that no one has denied that what Kanye says is true. Instead it appears we're just not supposed to talk about it.

    “ THEY’LL BE BACK TO YE!” Mark my words! Ye don’t need them anymore anyway… we need to support ye because it’s deeper than fame and money! He is doing gods work! KNOW IT!
