The rapper formerly known as Kanye West directed viewers to his website, where the homepage was selling a T-shirt with a swastika on the front.

      Kanye getting the “house of cards” treatment… Hard to stay relevant when everything else is starting to be even more batshit than you are.

    I think the people that walk around wearing the new Kanye West-brand swastika shirts might find out that, even in Trump’s America, other people may not react to such things with calm and a lack of physical violence.

      I can’t imagine many will sell. It’s paradoxical in nature.

      What self-respecting white supremacist is willing to enrich a black man to wear ‘their own’ symbol of hate? Imagine wearing a Yestika tee to your weekly cross burning. What a terribly embarrassing faux pas.

        You’re ascribing rationality to Nazis. He’s “one of the good ones.” Just like Enrique Tarrio.

        Also, lots of people will buy this as an “investment” because “it will be a collector’s item one day!”

      Lol, these cowards won’t do anything in public without covering their face. If you see anyone actually wearing one of these they will almost certainly be in a group of people all covering their face.

      I bet you won’t find a single instance of a lone person wearing this in public.

          The thing that always gets me is just how many Confederate flags I see flying in the Hoosier state which was a part of the union

            I grew up in Bloomington, which is considered a left-wing enclave in Indiana. A guy used to work near a gas station near me with a great big swastika tattoo on his arm. Didn’t seem to be a barrier to his being employed there and customers didn’t seem to mind from what I could tell. I never went back once I saw it. But that was one of the more innocent times I was around a Nazi in Indiana.
