Kanye poses in Swastika chain with white supremacist Nick Fuentes

Kanye West’s latest outrageous stunt is a video featuring him posing in a diamond-encrusted swastika necklace next to infamous white supremacist Nick Fuentes.

The controversial rapper, who has made numerous public antisemitic comments, introduces a smiling Fuentes on the video as his “white supremacist homeboy.”

In the now-deleted video, which was posted to X, West, who has legally changed his name to Ye, is seen standing next to Fuentes inside some kind of large venue, with loud music blaring nearby.

“Yo,” West says to the camera. “You know I’m here with my white supremacist homeboy Nick. We’re back.” The rapper is wearing the large Nazi symbol on his chest and jewel-encrusted grills.

Based on that very premise. A blind KKK member who didn’t know he was black.

But - with this stuff coming back around - and around ...
Can we maybe just kind of get to the point where we acknowledge that this is a sh*t human being ...
And then move on?

This man is not any kind of 'icon' - to any sort of social movement, identity, or demographic - that ever had any true value in the first place. Leaving him behind - should not be such a problem ...

Mental illness.

Wish we could take his talent and give it to somebody with a functional frontal cortex.

So there are jewelry designers out there willing to make anything for a price. Truly disturbing, additionally, Kanye is a deeply troubled man with a self-loathing of his blackness and his twisted hatred of Jews.

I do not know if any of these behaviors result from his bipolar status or not, but one would hope a genuine friend would plead with him to stop worshiping money/fame...instead start finding your humanity and sanity. He can afford the very best counsel available.

I guess he's her "Karma," given she's stuck tied to him--despite the divorce--for years to come, given the kids they have together.

And boy, do I hate having to feel sympathy for her, but...
