  The time period this is from he wasn’t a Nazi.

  I mean, this was during the period that he was a halfway decent person.

  This is two years before his mother died, which is when it spun out of control for him. He never recovered and never had anyone else looking out for him the way she did.

  He literally said “George Bush doesn’t care about black people” and he was right to do so in that moment.

  “Hecuva job, Brownie” Bush said as people died and Brown was absolutely fucking up the Hurricane Katrina response.

    Dude was unhinged from the beginning. His early could be defensible because we can kind of agree with the words… but it was always about him. He couched it in defense of others, but it was always about “Look at me” for him.

    I would say that’s not a reason to take him out of memes, but it’s also not a reason to think of him as ever having been a “good person”.

      The problem I have is he does not divorce who he was from who he is now in this way. The memes (and literally bany post written about him or that mentions him) inflate his ego and feed his sense of self worth. That’s the problem with meming him.

      More recent posts show him in a bad light and obviously hurt his feelings. But posts like this feed his ego and I don’t agree with that.

    Yeah, I never really got why everyone jumped at Kanye for that in particular. The response to Katrina was ridiculous and there were plenty of instances where black people were left to fend for themselves, or worse, accused of ‘looting’ when they tried to go out and find food in stores that closed down.

    Obviously, everything that happened after is indefensible.

      By the way, your meme is funny and dead-on.

  People still use Drake memes despite him allegedly being a nonce.

    This is fair. But does it matter that there aren’t mere allegations that Ye is a Nazi?

    Like. Drake is likely a skeeze, but Ye told us he’s a Nazi flat out.

      There are not mere allegations. He is screaming it on every social media he has. He is literally labeling himself as a Nazi and screaming (all caps) racist nonsense every chance he gets online and in interviews. This same guy was trying to buy Parler.

    Using popularity as a metric for if somebody is worth supporting isn’t remotely useful.
