Kanye West interview pulled over 'more hate speech'

[Scott]

An upcoming episode of the YouTube talk show The Shop: Uninterrupted has been scrapped after Kanye West allegedly used "hate speech and extremely dangerous stereotypes" in an interview.

The move came as it emerged the star had shared a series of comments based on racist conspiracy theories in a separate interview with Fox News.

Fox removed those segments before broadcast, but the footage was leaked to technology website Motherboard.

Why would anybody care what that guy says or does?

I also don't care if that dog on the street barked or maybe looked in my direction.

He holds a huge amount of sway with a lot of people, especially younger black men.

Kinda curious what "hate speech" he was promoting. He is well known as being not the sharpest knife in the kitchen and to espouse some pretty out there conspiracy theory nonsense, but so what.

Seems to me that many are either looking to be offended, or bending over to avoid saying anything that can cause someone to be offended.

PC madness that can only end badly IMO.

Has no one in authority ever listened to the sort of "music" some of those those guys listen to? Some of the lyrics are so vile that I doubt anything he would say could reach that level of offensiveness.

Probably Anti-Semitism (It wouldn't be his 1st time)...

Through a controversial Fox News interview — and unaired footage from it that was even more controversial — and then on social media, Ye has revealed the latest phase of his bizarre political evolution: A growing embrace of antisemitic conspiracy rhetoric

So unfair to poor Kanye. It's not like he said anything blatantly anti-Semitic:

 

Kanye West Locked Out Of Twitter After Post About Going 'Death Con 3 On Jewish People'

“I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE,” West wrote on Saturday night. “The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.”

But at least those flag-waving Republicans who so vociferously support Israel had the courage to tell him off:

Any censorship is wrong.

 

Unless promoting violence of course.  Aside from that, he's simply censored since being a conservatives.

That's good to know. Then I guess you have no problem with public schools using texts that acknowledge the existence of gay people and offering books in their libraries written by them.

That said you qualified your comment by excepting comments that promote violence. What does "when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE" sound like to you?

Most of us know it's just verbal dribble and he's not going actual death con on anyone.

 

Personally I have no problem with any books as long as I'm not forced to read political ones.

Those at the receiving end disagree:

 

A clear violence: Understanding Kanye’s tweet vowing ‘death con 3’ on Jews

DEFCON is an acronym that refers to the state of alert of America’s militaries; “death con 3” appears to be a muddled use of that term. Still, it conveyed a clear violence to many who saw it.

'Most of us know"? Really? Since when did you become the authority on the beliefs of most people in regard to this? 

It's a blatantly anti-Semitic comment written by someone who has lots of admirers on the political right.

Free access to books etc is fine for adults, but we should always think differently when it comes to children, who are uniquely vulnerable because of their lack of development and experience.

 

They do not have adequate defenses against all kinds of harmful things, and so any civilized society seeks to protect them.

 

Part of the problem in the West is that too many adults want to remain as children, and so feel they have to be protected from minor things they should have learned to overcome years ago.

If you're talking porn, courts have carved out exceptions for that. What harmful things are you referring to?

Well, I think it's fair to judge him by the clueless company he keeps.

I wonder what Kanye meant when he was referring to children?

 

Part of the cut video

"a strange and lengthy digression about “fake children” he claimed were planted in his house to manipulate his own children"

 

Fox also cut the snippet where Kanye said he had received the covid vaccine.....lol

Other way around. The left is anti Israel.

Logically speaking, they oughtn't to be anti-Semitic. Since when has logic figured into the thinking of America's extreme right? Doug Mastriano, a Christian nationalist Republican candidate for governor of Pennsylvania criticized his Jewish opponent for sending his kids to a"privileged, elite school" that revealed "his disdain for people like us". The school just happens to be a Yeshiva. And Mastriano actually supports states giving parents money to pay for private schools. Marjorie Taylor-Green accused space lasers funded by the Rothschilds of starting forest fires. There's plenty more..

As for the left being anti-Israel, first off being critical, even sharply critical of Israel, in itself is not being anti-semitic. Israel is not Judiasm. Judiasm is not Israel. Of course, if critics of Isreal use ancient slurs about Jews to support their criticism, that's a different matter..

Tucker Carlson on Fox News started it by interviewing him in not one but a two part interview

 

"Carlson used the interview, which was presented as a piece of landmark television, to hit on a few of Fox News’ favorite boogeyman, with Ye’s enthusiastic participation" ????
