Bret Stephen is correct saying that Kanye isn't a victim of "cancel culture"...he's being punished for his repetitive, unapologetic acts of hate speech against a minority group. West has been spewing vile antisemitic tropes to his social media acolytes for far longer than the longest bipolar episode would last. A person can be BOTH mentally ill and a rabid hater of Jews…which is the reality of Kayne’s case in my humble opinion.
In the New York-metropolitan area, which has the largest population of Jews outside of Israel (over 2 million), antisemitic hate crimes are reaching elevated levels that are unprecedented, the data being compiled in real time by law enforcement officials and agencies like the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). Kanye is adding fuel to the fire, and should be held accountable for his high profile rants…especially if his hate speech spurs somebody to commit a hate crime against a Jew or Jews. If Kanye were white, and attached to white supremacist group rooted antisemitic narratives, he would have been canceled without a second thought. West's blackness, his international fame, and his secondary shield of mental illness, is providing cover for his convoluted, ignorance-based, but REAL hatred of Jews. Losing his corporate partners and sponsors was justifiable...and good business.
