Confronting antisemitism after Kanye West’s outburstsKanye West’s antisemitic outburst combined with a rise in hate crimes have forced the Jewish community to confront this wave of antisemitism with difficult conversations inside and outside the synagogue.
Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, attends the WSJ Magazine 2019 Innovator Awards at MOMA on Nov. 6, 2019 in New York City. The rapper has been dropped from various fashion partnerships due to his antisemitic comments, though his music remains available on streaming platforms. "It doesn't surprise me because they are fundamentally different kinds of businesses," explained Serona Elton, a professor who studies the music industry at the University of Miami. "The nature of the business and contractual relationship with Ye is quite different in these different sectors.
In regards to Ye, Spotify CEO Daniel Ek recently told Reuters they would take a similar stance. While calling his antisemitic messages "just awful comments," Ek said they would not take the rapper's songs off their platform, or wade into the field of content moderation beyond the lyrics of artists' songs.
Don’t take of Kanye, too many bangers
Because the fans don't care about cancel culture. Get a clue.
Stick your woke cancel culture where the sun doesn’t shine .
Not for long.
Attack, separate, isolate, attack, cancel. The playbook
North’s Korean still on our maps, why haven’t you people canceled them yet? Just pretend they don’t exist
I wonder how trump brain washed him
Because people are tired of a small elitist group of likeminded friends telling the rest of the world what to do, what to think, what to read, what to say, what to listen to. Soon they will also want to control when to breathe…
Money
Insult Christianity: Hes hilarious. Insult Islam : Hes brave! Freedom of speech! Insult Judaism: Cancelled.
In other news, decades' worth of gangster rap also remains on streaming platforms.
Who is Edward Bernays?
he makes music?
A little like The Pianist dilemma. A brilliant film but directed by Roman Polanski.
Western type dictatorship!
It funny how a Jewish comment can carry so much weight when you have a prime minister calling 3/4 of Canada misogynistic rapists and it’s ok
As it should
Cancel culture! The demise of western society like its unipolar NWO!
It's up to us not to listen to it. I never did and never will.
I have trouble understanding how people can’t separate the art from the artist The Cosby Show was one of the greatest sitcoms of all time and no amount of unproven accusations will ruin it for me
I’m not into music so I’m not familiar with any of his songs but he’s a creep and deserves everything he gets
You guys are gonna hate it when you find out who we're sending our tax dollars to in Ukraine
Because their is a thing called free speech.
Michael Jackson still chill tho
Say what you want but musically, YE is the goat
I think Kanye is a douche and is deserving of reprisals for his antisemitic nonsense but if the music is not antisemitic or hate speech in of itself I don’t see any reason for it being banned or made unavailable.
R Kelly music still available so SHUT UP
Is Ye's claim to being a Jew, not Jewish, true?
They will rip your life away in a second if you don't comply
not the first to be boycotted music and wont be the last, Dixie Chicks, Boomtown Rats- I dont like Mondays, Highschool confidential and more banned..... if people really want to listen to his stuff they will, doesnt mean he cant or wont be banned from radio or playlists
That is some racist woke cancel culture right there! Shit’s getting real complicated 😅
Cancel culture alive and well
I swear Kayne gets more attention than that racist the Liberals paid to teach about racism
Here’s an idea, let the people decide!
I don’t listen to rap! It’s for the tone deaf people!
I wonder if they wrote the same article regarding R Kelly ?
If Ye has said a group of white executives control black music and black music narrative would we have even paid attention🤔now a lot of people want to know what is going on.His melt down has shined a light on an industry that we know can exploit people.People exploiting people.
Journalists who write these types of articles are such genuine clowns, what a waste of a degree
Why should it lmfao is his music spreading antisemitic propaganda? No, so why would it be removed. CBC journalists once again with the breaking news canadians so desperately need, what a joke of an organization 🤡
It’s ye CBC…
Cbc are you dreaming of communist time when somebody was erased from life ?
Because people like his music and can differentiate between his views and his music. If he starts singing about Jewish people in a derogatory manner then cancel him.
Yet anti-white discourse gets a pass
Ye will be fine this guy went on to be the leader of the liberals & the worst PM in history
Because he says Jews run the world and money ? That’s the truth
His net worth depending who you believe is between 400 million to 1.5 billion. He’ll survive.
CBC is anti free speech but they support Azov Nazis
Oh, now you libs want to ban art. Look at how shocked I am.
So does Michael Jackson’s. What’s your point? I hope his music remains on streaming platforms, it’s great. I can separate art from artist. No need to pull his music.
Why haven't news organizations been DE platformed, and advertisement contracts cancelled. When they clearly all participate in promoting and participating in immoral behavior?
I won't listen anymore but I get it. As bad as he is, he is THE musical genius of our time.
If Epstein had mentioned 'the Jews' maybe something would have been done to stop him.
Why is this character still in the news? Does anyone care?
Always a dilemma between the artist & the art: Chaplin, Polanski, Allen...
cry harder CBC
The same reason R Kelly hasn’t been pulled from streaming services probably
His music shouldn't be canceled🙄
Give it time that will be gone too
I don’t listen to that stuff…
Good.
