Following a tweet storm during which he vocalized support for Donald Trump, celebrities have started unfollowing Kanye West on Twitter. Not exactly shocking.
Pop Crave reports that Justin Bieber, BTS, The Weeknd, Rihanna, Ariana Grande, Harry Styles, Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, and Kendrick Lamar are among the musicians who have unfollowed the rapper in the wake of his comments, which YIKES.
A quick perusal also indicates that John Legend isn't following Kanye, nor is Chrissy Teigen, Khloé Kardashian, or Kylie Jenner (though it's possible this has nothing to do with his recent tweets).
While a few celebs have supported Kanye in the midst of his Twitter musings, many have tweeted negative responsesincluding John Legend with a lengthy subtweet, Rosie O'Donnell, and Samuel L. Jackson.
Twitter banned me.
Be ironic if out of all of them that Taylor Swift stands by him.
Heehee, that would be rich and oh, so sweeeeet..........lol
rumour has it that Swifty is a trump supporter..
Here’s the thing. At this point people are paying attention to Kanye West. Black people are paying attention. They see the shunning. They see the accusations of ‘he must be crazy’ with the implication that maybe he should be locked up. They see it and the hardcore Obama-style leftists nod and say “yeah, ban him and lock him up.” But others are having their eyes opened to the tyrany of the democrat party over them. If you are black and dare challenge that they will come down on you way harder than a cop at a routine traffic stop will. Way harder.
Back to basics. It would sell Hugely!
Just show entertainers pursue popularity instead of truth!
Everyone here will remember Bono from U2, whens the last time you heard anything about him? He was the darling of the media for his efforts to highlight poverty in Africa. That is, until he committed a high truth crime. What truth crime you ask? He said simply and truthfully that the fastest way to lift Africans out of abject poverty was capitalism. With that all coverage ceased. He fell off the planet.
This is exactly what theyll do to West.
With this speech Bono fell off the planet, never to be hear of again:

White celebrity Racists.
Kanye is a deeply creative and talented man. I don’t agree with all his choices; but I do think he is head and shoulders in creative intelligence above many of his celebrity critics.
Here's the clean part of the antoning lyrics of Kanye's rap "Jesus Walks." (The bad language part that precedes this is a sorrowful account of the state of the 'hood in Chicago.) He has a whole gospel album and professes Christ. If he can reach some of the ones who only get their culture or their Bible through rap, what's wrong with that?
God show me the way because the devil's tryna break me down
(Jesus walk with me)
The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now
(Jesus walk)
And I don't think there's nothin' I can do now to right my wrongs
(Jesus walk with me)
I wanna talk to God but I'm afraid cause we ain't spoke in so long
(Jesus walk)To the hustlers, killers, murderers, drug dealers, even the strippers
(Jesus walks for them)
To the victims of welfare for we livin' in Hell here, hell yeah
(Jesus walks for them)Now, hear ye, hear ye, want to see Thee more clearly
I know he hear me when my feet get weary
Cause we're the almost nearly extinct
We rappers is role models: we rap, we don't thinkI ain't here to argue about his facial features
Or here to convert atheists into believers
I'm just tryna say the way school need teachers
The way Kathie Lee needed Regis, that's the way I need JesusSo here go my single, dog, radio needs this
They say you can rap about anything except for Jesus
That means guns, sex, lies, videotape
But if I talk about God my record won't get played, huh?Well if this take away from my spins
Which'll probably take away from my ends
Then I hope this take away from my sins
And bring the day that I'm dreamin' aboutNext time I'm in the club, everybody screamin' out
(Jesus walk)
God show me the way because the Devil's trying to break me down
(Jesus walk with me)
The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now
Well, of course I never listened to any of his work. If he wants to be positive role model. Good for him.
Not really. Bono and U2 are playing sold-out, or soon-to-be sold out arenas all over the globe, almost every night from now through November.
And whos covering that in the MSM? Your missing the point.
Hence effectively demonstrating the point he was making.

No offense Nikos but not a lot of minorities are not for Trump
At least 2016 election they were not
88-92% blacks voted Hillary
66-68% Latinos vote Hillary
70% or Jews voted Hillary
79% of Asians voted Hillary
37% of Whites voted Hillary
Thats in essence what all of this progressives identity demonize white Christian history and tradition in general is all about
Its white Christians and however many minorities we peel off with us to defeat the anti white juggernaut enveloping America and the West too
Trump peeled off more than Romney did which is why he won. Trump got slightly less of the non Hispanic white vote than did Romney in 2012
Its a cold race war already but with exceptions
In supreme irony its those exceptions that will determine the winner
So lets hope more Kanyes do get woke
In the proper sense
Im be more optimistic except for minority birth rates and how the left owns the political and media infrastructure ....I mean literally...its theirs
And tech too....we have got to fight back to strip social media leftist stranglehold
This is war
High faluting platitudes wont work
Ted Cruz is right on Zuckerberg
