I think corporate America would have had to act on Kanye’s racist behavior quickly had he not been black himself. But because he’s black he got a pass and they really like it when a group derides itself, so they don’t have to. All they have to do is point and appreciate. As for his sexism, yes it culminated when he straight up stalked Kim Kardashian in public.
BTW, you pointed out the strange media embrace Johnny Depp was receiving from the very start, at the outset, before the trial really even got underway. Not even Ben believed you. But you were right. Suddenly, platforms that do not even discuss celebrities often were supporting him. For instance, I run a CAKE DECORATING account on Instagram and suddenly people in my feed were making Pirates cakes in support of Depp. It was bizarre. It was like his team bought commercials during the Super Bowl. They orchestrated bias in his favor in the beginning and then let natural misogyny do the rest of the work.
Anyway, I like your style and have since you and Karyne did Rumor Has It. Poor Karyne. She used to make jokes about people mistaking her name for Kanye’s and probably can’t even stomach the idea any longer.
I couldn't like this comment more, Michelle! And that is fascinating yet not surprising about the anti-Amber Heard cakes. That entire situation was a meme war, and one that will soon be the blueprint for other celebrities accused of bad actions.
