Ken,
Kanye West is a raging incoherent racist and anti-Semite. Nothing he is doing interests me.
You said he's a "racist and anti-Semite". Could you tell us, exactly, how he is "racist"? Presumably, being an "anti-Semite" is a different thing, since you chose to mention it separately above.

I know, reading is tough....I'll make it bold so you can see it easier. From the interview I cited above:
After spewing anti-Semitic rhetoric for the last two weeks, Kanye West is admitting his comments were racist and apologizing in a new interview.
Since you are being pedantic. Anti-Semitism would be religious hatred if it is based on faith. It would be racism if it is based on racial identity or ethnicity. For Kanye it seems to be all of the above. Although like most racists and hate-mongers he isn't particularly coherent.

But this is just a quote from an article, and I would your source is complete nonsense. The most "racist" thing Kanye west said is that George Floyd died of a fentanyl overdose. I happen to agree with him. Does that make me a racist too?

Here are the all the "racist" things Kanye West has said recently, according to Forbes

I can't really find anything racist in there. No talk of superior genetics or anything like that.

Whatever exactly Kanye West is or isn’t, the anti-semantic posts on this forum are getting a bit out of hand.

The quote you have above is fake news. Kanye West has never “admitted” to being “racist” (and the idea of that is rather absurd).

To repeat:
Page 5:
In this thread (now 2 ECCENTRIC men) are the topic. i have no special interest in either, i can assure. :roll:
The interest is about how cyberspace rules are playing out. These 2 ECCENTRIC wealthy men happen to be significant players.

This topic is not about aiding the lib initiative to summarily take out/cancel Ye. (Some are so eager to carry water!) :?
Good boy!!

Ye, his personal life, his music, his politics, his mental illness, are incidental to this topic, not central.

1) Twitter under new ownership?
2) Parler under new ownership?

So you are claiming that he is an unrepentant racist? That's even worse. Or are you one of those people who think that only white people can be racist?

I'm rather surprised by the number of Kanye West fanboys here on Mennonet. Do you all watch the Kardashians too? I guess you learn something new every day.

By the way, the interview you are saying is "fake news" was actually covered extensively online and the full uncut interview is on YouTube if you want to go look for it. Here is another summary: https://www.billboard.com/music/music-n ... 235158210/

“Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, to acquire Parler platform”
https://www.prnewswire.com/news-release ... 50579.html
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Parlement Technologies announced today that it has entered into an agreement in principle to sell Parler, the world's pioneering uncancelable free speech platform, to Ye (formerly known as Kanye West). Ye has become the richest Black man in history through music and apparel and is taking a bold stance against his recent censorship from Big Tech, using his far-reaching talents to further lead the fight to create a truly non-cancelable environment.

"In a world where conservative opinions are considered to be controversial we have to make sure we have the right to freely express ourselves," says Ye.

The proposed acquisition will assure Parler a future role in creating an uncancelable ecosystem where all voices are welcome. Ye can be found on Parler here.

Parlement Technologies CEO George Farmer welcomes Ye as a compatriot in the fight for free speech. "This deal will change the world, and change the way the world thinks about free speech. Ye is making a groundbreaking move into the free speech media space and will never have to fear being removed from social media again. Once again, Ye proves that he is one step ahead of the legacy media narrative. Parlement will be honored to help him achieve his goals."

Under the terms of their agreement in principle, the parties intend to enter into a definitive purchase agreement and expect to close during the fourth quarter of 2022. The terms of the proposed transaction would include ongoing technical support from Parlement and the use of private cloud services via Parlement's private cloud and data center infrastructure .. ..

Please discuss what’s going on with free speech on social media, resist personalities.
Ye and Elon have established they are eccentric figures over years. That’s not in question.

TY SMITH is a “neighbor i’ve never met” - he lives about an hour from me in Illinois.
i enjoy a lot of what he’s about, he’s conservative, pro traditional family, pro life; he works in medicine, is an assoc pastor (somewhere) .. he’s energetic and outspoken. i admire his willingness to “swim upstream” in a world that must often seem categorically against him. he meets it with a smile. i wish him well. the world needs its young men.

Short answer? She is married to George Farmer who is the multi-millionaire Brit who is CEO of Parler.
