Kanye West Has A Disturbing History of Admiring Hitler

Several people who were once close to the artist formerly known as Kanye West told CNN that he has long been fascinated by Adolf Hitler -- and once wanted to name an album after the Nazi leader.
A business executive who worked for West, who now goes by Ye, told CNN that the artist created a hostile work environment, in part through his "obsession" with Hitler.
"He would praise Hitler by saying how incredible it was that he was able to accumulate so much power and would talk about all the great things he and the Nazi Party achieved for the German people," the individual told CNN.
The executive left his position and reached a settlement with West and some of his companies over workplace complaints, including harassment, which CNN has reviewed. The former executive asked not to be named due to a confidentiality agreement and fear of retribution by West. According to the agreement, West denied the executive's allegations.
The executive told CNN that West spoke openly about reading "Mein Kampf," Hitler's 1925 autobiographical manifesto and expressed his "admiration" for the Nazis and Hitler for their use of propaganda.

I guess he is one of those that thinks he can say anything openly to anyone and get away with it. Like many others
he learns the hard way, that he cannot get away with this one. He is done as an artist and done as a celebrity. West
is another stupid person that doesn't know he is very stupid. But he is about to learn that he is stupid. How can
someone defend liking Hitler? We will all see how he defends his admiration of one of the worst people in all history.

(8,677 posts)my exact thoughts.........There are a ton more lurking out there......
I know nothing of how he and TFG connected, but doesnt this make you think that kanye responded to one of TFGs dog whistles by requesting a meeting and then the convo between them left no doubt about their shared twisted worldview ?

(42,356 posts)Not much. People that narcissistic are not going to spend time reading books about someone who is not themself. But I also believe they admire how much power Hitler had. Talking about him and having his books lying around is one way to show that that admiration.

(3,467 posts)He might have been taken aback on how much Hitler admired the race laws that parts of the US imposed on African Americans after the Civil War. He might have also been surprised and how much Hitler cited US inspired Eugenics.
Then again, maybe these points wouldn't have mattered to him.

(21,028 posts)I think the only thing he admires is himself and fellow narccacists.
And that under tRump, they would abolish the 13th Amendment (which abolished slavery), because, get this, the 13th Amendment was "slavery in disguise."

PatSeg
(46,779 posts)who are like that. They are addicted to the attention and if they don't get it enough, they say and do something outrageous - Bingo, they're in the news. Just like Donald Trump. No wonder Kanye likes Trump so much. Unfortunately, I don't think Trump cares for him very much. He doesn't even fake liking him very well.

PatSeg
(46,779 posts)painfully mediocre and pointless. He calls himself a genius, but I think "con artist" is more like it, though I think he believes his own hype.

(46,779 posts)about his mom dying, though he's had a long history of being obnoxious and outrageous. Meanwhile, I can't imagine anything that he's done to make him worth $2 billion.

Jedi Guy
(3,171 posts)He's a useful idiot, much like Herschel Walker. It's one thing to put a useful idiot in the Senate and quite another to put one in the White House. There are 100 Senators and while they do have clout, they have only so much of it. The Presidency is something else altogether.
Yeezy's value to them is being a clown to amuse the masses. He's the nincompoop who repeatedly takes pratfalls to make people in the crowd point and laugh while the pickpockets do their thing. Yeezy just won't get his cut afterward, as he will learn to his sorrow.

What Hitler and the Nazis accomplished for the German people was getting 1 out of every 12 Germans killed in a six year period. One in twelve!

He's a piece of sh*t on so many levels I can't even....
And that idiot ex-wife of his, kar (I don't spell out or capitalize their names because it's just a small way I can show disrespect (It's silly but still....) had FOUR effing kids with him.
