Who is crazier - Kyrie or Kanye?

[edjr 7,042]

The day Kyrie said the earf was flat, he should have been committed. 

Kanye sure is trying to give him a run for his money though.

Carl Everett deserves some honorable mention

He was crazy many moons ago. I mean right now. 

Izzy Alcantara was crazier than Carl Everett   Only dude to ever kick the catcher in the chest before charging the mound 

[IGotWorms 4,063]

Kanye seems to be legit mentally ill, whereas Kyrie just is — and always has been — a massive dipsh1t, and dumb too.

[bostonlager 2,678]

I guess Kyrie. I'm familiar with his crazy stuff. I still don't know exactly what Kanye has said that would make him crazy.

Adam Silver (who happens to be Jewish)  Spoke out and gave Kyrie an olive branch and begged him to apologize and he says "Not my words, I just shared the link"  THEN gets suspended without pay for 5 games, THEN apologies.  Cmon man!

[lickin_starfish 2,037]

I would say either Kathy Griffin or Madonna.

Look at today, Kyrie sure got apologetic when he lost 5 game checks.  Kanye is losing money hand over fist and he still won't shut up.  Even a dipsh!t knows when to throw in the towel.

• Ye’s recent statements draw on longstanding antisemitic tropes and conspiracy theories about Jewish people. For example, he promoted tropes about Jewish power and control – including in the entertainment industry, media, politics and business – as well as tropes about Jewish greed and the notion that Jewish people exploit and intimidate others for financial gain. Ye’s generalizations about Jews is deeply offensive and perpetuates these harmful stereotypes.
• Ye’s comments also reflect beliefs espoused by fringe antisemitic religious groups, including extremist sects of the Black Hebrew Israelite movement and the Nation of Islam. Ye has claimed that Black people are “Jews” and “Semites” and therefore cannot be antisemitic. This is not a reference to the religion of Judaism or traditional understandings of Jewish ethnicity, but rather a belief found in Black Hebrew Israelite ideology which asserts that certain people of color are the true descendants of the biblical Israelites. Extremists use this concept to promote antisemitism, claiming that Jewish people today are imposters who stole the religious heritage of Black people and are engaged in a global conspiracy to oppress non-Jewish people.
• While there is no evidence that Ye views himself as a member of any organized extremist group, he has a longstanding and ongoing relationship with the Nation of Islam and its leader, Louis Farrakhan. Ye visited the group’s headquarters in Chicago to publicly express his support for their Millions More Movement in 2005 and attended an event that Farrakhan held in Los Angeles in 2015. Ye’s 2015 song “All Day” includes a lyric which describes Farrakhan as “sensei.” Ye has turned to Farrakhan when embroiled in antisemitism controversies on multiple occasions, including taking Farrakhan’s advice not to apologize in 2013 when Ye was criticized for alleging that Jewish people are more well-connected than Black people. Ye cited Farrakhan on “Drink Champs” in 2022 and played a voicemail that Farrakhan reportedly recently sent him.
• Beyond antisemitism, Ye is no stranger to controversy and has a history of making anti-Black, false, conspiratorial statements. Ye’s interview with Tucker Carlson on October 6 was itself a response to widespread criticism that Ye received following his decision to wear a shirt with the white supremacist slogan “White Lives Matter” at Paris Fashion Week. During his recent “Drink Champs” appearance, Ye repeated the debunked claim that George Floyd, who was murdered by police officer Derek Chauvin in 2020, died of fentanyl. In recent and past interviews, Ye frequently cited the misleading claim that abortion is the leading cause of death for Black Americans. In 2018, Ye stated that 400 years of slavery “sounds like a choice.” He drew criticism again in 2018 when he called for the 13th Amendment to be abolished.
• Known extremists and antisemites have embraced Ye’s recent statements, leveraging his comments to further their own agendas. For example, the Nation of Islam and extremist Black Hebrew Israelite sects have defended Ye’s statements about Black people and Jewish identity and used the opportunity to promote antisemitic claims and conspiracy theories. White supremacists have celebrated Ye for using his influential platform to “expose” Jews. Members of the extremist Goyim Defense League held a demonstration in Los Angeles on October 22, displaying a banner over Interstate 405 that read “KANYE IS RIGHT ABOUT THE JEWS” while giving Nazi salutes. Proud Boys members, QAnon adherents and other conspiracy theorists have also seized on reports that Ye may purchase the right-wing social media platform Parler.
• As an internationally recognizable celebrity whose work spans multiple industries, Ye’s comments are concerning not just because of their antisemitic content, but because of his immense influence. Ye has nearly 50 million combined followers on Twitter and Instagram (for comparison, the global Jewish population is approximately 15 million). Ye is one of the top-selling musical artists of all time and, prior to Adidas ending their partnership with Ye on October 25, Ye’s Yeezy line accounted for between one and two billion dollars in annual sales for the company. In addition to being embraced by extremists, Ye’s comments advance the spread of antisemitic ideas in the mainstream.

But he was given a chance to say it before losing money. 

One big difference is the Nets can't just tell him to fock off and not pay him.

Yeah like I said, he’s a d0uche and an idiot. Thought he was untouchable.

Kanye, to me, looks and talks like someone who is legit psychotic. I don’t know if it’s schizophrenia or bipolar or what, but the man is not well

He's like a poor man's Elon Musk. There is nothing Musk can say that will leave him poor. Kanye is well on his way.

Exactly---the dipsh!t lost money then learned. Kanye loses money and never learns---cause he's crazy.  That's the difference.

And none of that come close to matchimg Biden using the presidential platform to declare all Republican voters terrorists.  At least he did not have the Nazi background this time around.  Talk about crazy. 

[RLLD 4,283]

Can we include that focknut Kaepernick too? I mean, he was demonstrably focking stupid as well. 

[Hardcore troubadour 16,060]

So West said Jews have a lot of power? Some would say for such a small group of people , outsized power? The power to people ratio for that group makes apartheid look democratic. Just sayin. 

[Cdub100 3,996]

Jews sure do like using all the power they have when someone points out all the power they have

[Hardcore troubadour 16,060]

It’s funny that black people in America have been fed the notion for a very long time that they are oppressed in this country. Then when they speak out against the people that actually have the reigns of power in the country that supposedly oppresses them, they are quickly set upon and silenced. They are only allowed to speak out about the police and voters in the opposition party, the ones that hold very little to no power. The left are going to have to move on from the black community as a reliable voting block and replace them with another group if they keep this up.  I wonder who they are counting on to replace them? 

[Cloaca du jour 2,157]

My question...

Why do we expect so much from our athletes and celebrities?

Who cares if Kyrie is anti semitic?  Is that a requirement for the job...to love everyone?

When Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier...if they got rid of racists...they couldnt field 2 teams with what was left.

Snyder the same question.  Since when do we elevate these people to "saint" status?  

Who gives a crap?

One of the farthest left people I have talked to said that every single black republican is an uncle Tom. I'm pretty sure most of them think this way. When a black person gets out of line it angers libs

Why can't Kyrie promote a movie he likes even if it has some anti-semitism.  Some of the best movies have some racism in them, so what?  I have to watch racist commercials every time I watch TV.  Also, BET is a real channel.

The most rational post I've seen. Jews seem to be overly sensitive, or at least those who run organizations like the anti-defamation league. If the movie/book is that horribly anti-semitic, why is it available @ Amazon - eBay - Target - Walmart, etc ?  

Kyrie might very well be the dumbest man on earth, but to try and destroy a career just because he posted a link to something that's perfectly legal to sell seems way over the top.

Some dangerous precedents are being set.

 

[Hardcore troubadour 16,060]

If someone made a documentary that said the Irish potato famine wasn’t real or slavery wasn’t real and some idiot celeb/athlete linked to it no one would GAF and just dismiss such foolishness. But do the same with the Holocaust and you gotta pay and then bend the knee.
