Cut ties with someone over 1 meeting with Trump

[jimnyc]

The first example is "T.I." - who is another rapper in the game, who now claims he is "done" with Kanye and cutting all ties.

But can you imagine ANYONE having to endure this crap for simply having a meeting? Would the outcome be the same if it were a white person meeting up with Trump?

For example, suppose it were someone like Tim Tebow? Who and how many people out there would be dropping him like a hot potato & cutting all their ties with him? And how would the public handle such announcements from others?

Or, suppose while it were when Obama was in office & he met with someone like Kid Rock, who was also there today but for a separate meeting. And then a bunch of rock n rollers, after the meeting, turned around and said they were cutting all ties with Kid Rock, and it was because of his support of Obama - and that because of the fact that Obama was racist. I wonder if the public and/or the media would see things differently?

The Dixie Chicks got dumped faster than that in 03. They went from top of the country charts and local "heroes" to mud in a day. 20 times a day on the radio to zero. I don't think I heard them on the radio for 10 years, and that was once, and that station didn't repeat the error. They are STILL persona non grata around here and in real country music.

They deserved it as far as I'm concerned. Know your audience. Dopehead leftwingnuts generally aren't country music fans. Conservatives are. Sure, Billboard propped them up and made then entertainers of the year the following year but it was nothing more than political ploy from the left and most country artists could give a shit what Billboard thinks of them.

If Kanye doesn't know his audience, that's his bad. Having some thug cut ties with me wouldn't mean jack to me. Kanye is one of the most successful PRODUCERS, not just artist, in his genre. Meaning: filthy rich. As a business man is quite intelligent. I'm pretty sure he weighed the risks.

Jim this shows you don't understand Kanye's history. He's been pulling crap for almost a decade now. The meeting was just the straw the broke the back.

Ummm, no. I've followed Kanye for years and know all about him and his antics. Way more knowledge than you, guaranteed. But he was loved for his "antics" and his elevated stage moves and what not within the last year. Hell, he was also applauded for how he handled his bipolar by many. But meet with Trump? All over! I can see if actions were taken as a result, but this was simply a meeting. And those whop supported him dropped him like a hot potato.

And yes, his "pulling crap" that has made him a billionaire. And folks like TI and others talked about what a genius he was. I guess not anymore! LOL

Define "pulling crap". It's "crap" now because some light and oxygen may have seeped through his brain to see how the Dems/left have played blacks for almost a century with a lot smoke and mirror promises? I assure you, it doesn't take any kind of genius to see the "crap" the Dems/left have been pulling for years. Two brain cells and one, half-blind eye will suffice.

Or is it crap because he "dared" meet with the arch nemesis of the people who believe all that smoke getting blown up their asses?

As I've oft stated ... I don't trust the guy. BUT, if he can use his leverage and following to put the screws to the Dems just by telling the truth? I'm not going to sit here and piss all over something he's doing I agree with.

Simply put, just more hypocrisy from the angry democrat MOB.

lol you want to talk about hypocrisy? You guys look like clowns for blindly backing a mentally ill man that has acted like a spoiled brat for nearly ten years now talking crazy. You guys obviously never listened to his music which is full of anti police lyrics. Just hilarious that a bunch of old white men jump on his bandwagon yet don't know him at all. If Obama or HIllary suddenly put on a MAGA hat you'd all forget everything they stood for.
