so they only ban hateful content from balck guys now? Is that how this works? 🤷♂️
As a black man who grew up listening to his music as well as including his work as some of my favourite of all time…
He needs to be stopped. This man is mentally ill and ruining his legacy by posting shit like this. All hateful content should be removed but as someone well known as him he deserves special treatment.

Kanye wouldn’t be this crazy if he wasn’t famous, so it’s not really special treatment.
The constant positive reinforcement no matter what just makes them go crazier.
Like, “pushing the envelope” isn’t sustainable, eventually you get to the point where you’re only paying attention to topping yourself, it’s not “is this better?” anymore its just “is this crazier?”
It apparently doesn’t take long till you’re throwing swastikas on everything just to get people to notice.
Most people grow out of that shit. But Kanye got paid insane amounts of money to act like that, he’s going to keep doing until it stops working.
Dude literally has bipolar disorder and doesn’t take his medication. He’s not being paid to ruin his own reputation.

Because the people around him always say “yes”.
They’re like an improv group, no matter what Kanye says, they call him a genius. Because if you do t, you’re out of his orbit.
Not taking his medication is a symptom of the problem, not the cause. But it 100% exacerbates the problem.
Mans obviously alienated anyone around him that cares. Donda passing was the worst thing for him, and he still hasn’t gotten the help he desperately needs. There’s no one left in his orbit.
What a way to honoer his mother’s name than to name his creative company after her and then associate all of this with nazism.

No, they removed the store because: “This merchant did not engage in authentic commerce practices and violated our terms so we removed them from Shopify.”
They’re perfectly fine with hateful content/merch.

so he got shut down for what? not including the composition of the fabric? the country of origin? but not for what was on it?
