Parler must be creaming their khaki shorts, they're gonna get a return on a polished turd.Kanye West agrees to buy conservative social media platform Parler, company says
Kanye West, the superstar rapper who has made several inflammatory and antisemitic comments in recent weeks, has agreed in principle to buy conservative social media platform Parler, the app’s parent company said in a statement Monday.
“In a world where conservative opinions are considered to be controversial we have to make sure we have the right to freely express ourselves,” said West, who now goes by Ye, in a statement released by Parler.

I love how they always put racism, anti-Semitism and homophobia as "conservative opinion". And cryface when they get blocked for it on social media.
Indiana. It's one state over from his native Illinois and unapologetically gop.So, which state will he pick to run for Congress as a Trump Republican?

Good shout.Will Kanye be the next Jim Jones ?
Don’t say that in Indiana they’re all armed now.Indiana. It's one state over from his native Illinois and unapologetically gop.
It’s a shame he even gets air.Why does Piers Morgan get airtime
“This morning, after discussion with our filmmakers and distribution partners, we made the decision not to proceed with any distribution for our recently completed documentary about Kanye West. We cannot support any content that amplifies his platform,” they wrote. “Kanye is a producer and sampler of music. Last week he sampled and remixed a classic tune that has charted for over 3,000 years — the lie that Jews are evil and conspire to control the world for their own gain.”

Stock was taking a hit earlier.Adidas not dropping him is a very bad look.
Their lawyers and accountants have to be running all the numbers to make sure they can afford the break and the best way to do it. They aren't going to defend what he is saying or doing.Adidas not dropping him is a very bad look.
Adidas not dropping him is a very bad look.
They have lost 10.5% of the stockvalue since Friday. Let that sink in for a moment.Stock was taking a hit earlier.
Absolutely tone deaf on their part.
Oh, please. I'm sure Balenciaga checked everything and yet found no issues in dropping the cnut straight away. There is no good way to drop a toxic celebrity out of your list of people under sponsorship; you either 1) drop the cnut and save your reputation, or 2) you will lose more and more money by keeping him every single day that is overdue.Their lawyers and accountants have to be running all the numbers to make sure they can afford the break and the best way to do it. They aren't going to defend what he is saying or doing.
I thought so tooThat’s a very well worded statement.
I think him being black makes things awkward. If he were another race I think he would've been canned. Or if he said offensive about Asians or another race he would have been canned.I find it a little strange that he can get away saying such abhorrent and insulting things against black people for so long and none of these companies bat an eyelid. Wearing 'White Lives Matter' tops, anti-blackness rhetoric whenever he speaks, saying slavery was a choice for black people, the crass comments about ******* Tubman. I mean, the list is extensive, and he's been spouting that shite for years and years.
The moment he makes anti-semitic comments and he's dropped by all his labels and sponsors. Do these companies not care when it's against black people?
I don't think that should matter considering the actual things he did say - for example:I think him being black makes things awkward. If he were another race I think he would've been canned. Or if he said offensive about Asians or another race he would have been canned.
"When you hear about slavery for 400 years ... for 400 years? That sounds like a choice," he said during an appearance on entertainment site TMZ.
ranted against historical figure ******* Tubman on Sunday, saying the Underground Railroad conductor “never actually freed the slaves, she just had them work for other white people,”
I mean, it's grossly offensive and inaccurate as well. These are all white supremacist tropes being regurgitated by a black man. The fact that he is black doesn't make them less offensive (I know you're not defending him but just trying to explain the companies' stance).West is the same man who said in 2015 that “racism is a dated concept,” and that “it’s like a silly concept that people” use “to separate, to alienate, to pinpoint anything. It’s stupid.”
Had me in the first halfSo what? We're just going to abandon the entire idea of free speech now? Kanye should be allowed to say what he wants, whenever he wants about Pete Davidson's dick.
According to Wikipedia his Father had predominantly Jewish roots, but Pete himself was raised Catholic.Pete Davidson isn't by any chance Jewish, is he?
