    Hold up, is all this cancelled shit just a result of the “defcon 3 on Jews” tweet? Is that it?

    Because like, honestly that’s not a craaaazy bad tweet. Really. He didn’t call for the death of anyone or advocate violence or anything. It’s not good, of course, and he should be called out for it, but like, is this a bit much?

    Those goons on the overpass need to have their teeth kicked in but I do feel that cancelling Kanye is a bit of an overreaction. If that’s the only tweet. He didn’t advocate violence or even stereotype, did he?

    I live in nyc and I know Jews are hyper-sensitive to anti-semitism (and I understand why!!!) Like, I get it. But living in nyc, I have also seen some people take the slightest comment and act like they’re being persecuted by a word or gesture. I’ve heard people throw around accusations of anti-semitism in absurd situations. Some people, it’s all they want to talk about. Example: I’m at a design or art talk that has nothing to do with politics and someone will bring up anti-semitism in the q+a and everyone in the room is like WHAT where did that come from??

    Anyway, Defcon 3 doesn’t mean much and can’t even be taken literally in this context.

    But maybe there was more from Kanye that I missed.

    • Adidas was literally founded by Nazis and the company supported Nazis. We can forgive that but we can’t forgive Kanye? Yeeshnb
    • It's not just that tweet. He's said a lot more than that recently.mg33
    • Oh ok. My mistakenb
    • Btw I’m not mad if Kanye and adidas don’t collab any more. The world loses nothing of importancenb
    • I mean, he literally said: "I can say anti-semitic shit and Adidas can't drop me." Sounds like he knew he was saying anti-semitic shit.mathinc
    • Oh, what a fuckernb
    • He was saying jews run the world but he was a real jew from the lost tribe of Israel. ObviouslyPhanLo
    • Ye went so much further than Defcon 3 in recent comments. Ye went full retard.

    • Jew card beats black card, interestingdrgs
    • Yeah, it was basically just that. Barely offensive. But you know, anti-semitism is the religion that lays to waste all careers and all arguments.Khurram
    • They tried to destroy Whoopi Goldberg's career and aLl she said was that Jews aren't a race. Guess what Jews? You're not a race! There i said it :D :DKhurram
    • No one is any race. “Race” doesn’t actually exist. Just some nonsense created to inspire hatred and used to manipulate large groups of peoplenb
    • Khurram you're anti-semantic :D jews refer to themselves as a nation not a race and racism is not only discrimination on racial terms.kingsteven
    • 'anti-semitism' always seems like more of an odd choice than 'racism' for being anti-jewish to mekingsteven
    • either way most people who are labeled anti-semites are racist which makes it possible to use it as a tool to also suppress vocal critics of Israelkingsteven
    • kanye west is using racist messaging and thinks he's a post-modernist populist maverick - trump did it already and became POTUS, dickhead wants yemancipationkingsteven
    • I'm bitter about wot they done to Jeremy Corbyn over their fake anti-semitism lies. Let's talk about that lolKhurram
    • heh, i'm a big denouncer of the Israeli gov't around my jewish friends enjoyer but that corbyn thing, they would have called him anti-smurf if it did the job :Dkingsteven
    • man who spends whole life getting famous for fighting racism and war hates jews and loves the IRAkingsteven
    • You can't be pro-Palestinian in Euro-American politics. That was his fatal error. "The squad" are learning that lesson in the United States.Khurram
    • haha, fuck Smurfs! The little blue cuntsIanbolton
    • lol 'anti-semantic'. I'm mentally bookmarking that for future re-use.Nairn
