Ye's website is selling swastika shirts after boosting its profile with Super Bowl ad
Ye's website is selling swastika shirts after boosting its profile with Super Bowl ad
The rapper formerly known as Kanye West directed viewers to his website, where the homepage was selling a T-shirt with a swastika on the front.
And what's sad is that he's wealthier than everyone that uses lemmy, combined.
Why the fuck does good shit always happen to bad people, and good people always get shit on?
Probably not a popular opinion around here, but this is actually one of the rare cases where he is (was) extremely talented at his main thing (producing). That doesn't mean he deserves that disproportionate amount of wealth, but he's contributed more to culture than elon ever could.
You don't get wealthy if you're good, because it takes a certain amount of greed and materialism
It gets better. Shopify took down the store. This is what replaced it 😆
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.
I think he forgot that a long time ago.
And mentally ill
He sounds dumber every time he tries to become relevant again. Does Kim have sile custody? Because I would go after it now.
Doesn't matter to him. He still wants to be a bigot.
He's not only convinced they would say he's "One of the good ones," but he actually likes the idea.
I'd like to see what the people at the local Nazis convention has to say about it.
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
I heard it didn't air in all regions?
The commercial itself didn’t feature the shirt or any nazi imagery. It was a 30 second clip of Kanye in a dentists chair telling you to visit his website. It only aired in LA.
I don’t understand this timeline.
I saw it. I'm not in Louisiana or Los Angeles.
If you see someone wearing that shirt, it is only right to deck them in the temple
Wow this is how old now, and I just noticed on the left starts clapping. An applause worthy punch for sure
This stick? I carry it for walking.
soup, soup for my family
Does this mean whatever payment processing center is used for his site is also pro, whatever this is?
It's shopify, which requires an account to report. So if anyone has a shopify account, please do the needful. Can probably be considered a threat of violence or terrorist organization, or both.
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.
This feels like something a hexbear user would say in a serious way. (Replace lefties with liberals)
Adding "Ye" to my list of blocked words
I want to but I think the Thunder filter feature is a bit aggressive. I blocked the word "US" but I realized a long while later that it was also blocking all links to my instance sh.itjust.works. I'm afraid I'll lose all titles with "yesterday" or "yes".
Sometimes when someone tells you who they are, you should just believe them.
And suddenly Chappelle's blind black man KKK member is truth.
Clayton Bigsby, and Yeezy isn't blind, which makes it even better
Sad to see that the dude's in this state. He clearly needs psychiatric care, not a platform from which to yell his absurdities.
His account was closed

o/`
and post about it on swastwitter
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...
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 apparently encouraged even
Yes, this is what free speech looks like. It isn’t always positive
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?
That is the official website. It's linked on the wiki page for Kanye, and Kanye has advertised it on his Insta. I thought it was fake too because it's so poorly designed. You can't even see the price of the shirt until it's in your cart.
Just an attention whore seeking attention.
Has Universal dropped him yet?
Well the website mentioned in the article is down.
Useful fucking idiot.
Give him the cancer every kid has. And put a live stream on him. I wanna watch his suffering.
I love watching people getting their payback, the more miserable they are the better I feel.
Him and the whole GOP can split it, there's more than enough cancer to go around.
I'm ok with during in the world. I'm just not ok with who is bearing it. Is almost never the ones that deserve it.
Far be it from me to know of someone, anyone, even a celebrity, by using a reverse initialism or, worst, and I don't say this lightly, an apheresis.
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.
I'm convinced that the timeline split happened in 1971.

Well the Mayan thing wasn’t supposed to be Apocalyptic; it was supposed be a signal of a “new age.”
Almost the plot to Cloverfield paradox
You must have been really optimistic to expect something different out of these morons, to me it's more surprising they managed to keep quiet until now
No, this is just a Nazi who has always been shitty. If you were fooled by him at any point, then now is the time to question your judgment. If not, then good for you. But you're still not infallible... None of us are.
