Is it the first one that was publicized or the first one they can tear apart?

Whether it's actually the first of this Roc Nation x NFL partnership or not is kind of irrelevant to me.
If there's a backlash for something like this, the face has to own the misstep. And it's not like there isn't validity in the outrage over what came out.
But again, I really don't care enough to debate it at length. How all of that information rolled out didn't rub me the right way. I'm never supporting a charity that proudly posts pics of white women cutting off a young black man's dreads as if it were some source of evil; but at the same time to each his own.

Yea i must say i'm not in agreeance with the pictures and the questionable caption, that has to be addressed for sure. with that said i hate that social media took those pics & caption and indicted the entire organization as ran by white supremacist trying to indoctrinate the youth with self hate (this isn't even hyberbole, i saw several accounts labeling it in a similar fashion).
From all accounts of people in Chicago the organization does a lot of good in the community, the kids in the program vouch for it & they certainly use the donations to give back to the kids in it. Not to mention they painted it out to be like this white woman is just in there cutting up young black kids when the truth is it's a program that seemingly has many older black men from the neighborhood involved and trying to keep these kids out the street. I understand the caution and that's healthy, but the reaction to the pics were just another example of outrage/cancel culture, where one narrative starts and suddenly whatever doesn't fit that narrative fly's out the window. I went to the website atleast half of the kids posted have Locs
as it pertains to Jay himself, people who were tweeting all that know damn well Jay hasn't said anything of that nature, and that has NEVER been his rhetoric in the past. However they tried to equate the comments of a singular woman who works for an organization who's partnered with a organization Jay runs.... to jay telling young black men to conform to white people's beauty standards.
That is trump level propaganda coming from these people & hypocritical as all hell for them to be running with... when it's clear as day that was completely false.
I'm never mad at someone for looking at a situation differently then me, the only thing that annoys me is that whenever people are ready to "cancel" a celebrity they literally start ignoring facts and contrary proof all in order to push their narrative, because it's the hot button topic at the moment. this #fakenews isn't something just used by rightwing media it's become rampant throughout all forms of media.

Who is the face?
Jay-Z wasn't the one checking charities.
Are people upset at the NFL or Goodell?
It's just another excuse to cancel Jay-Z again.

Nah for all intents & purposes Jay is the face, even if we all know damn well he wasn't the one vetting these organizations.
His name is involved & he's the one who decided to use his name to spearhead this NFL thing so yea, people are gonna criticize him & that's fair. it's just criticize him for his actual actions and not biased narratives.
people questioning him over those pics/comments is fair. saying he supports a white supremacist group that is trying to indoctrinate black children is when **** gets goofy

I'm the last one to cancel Jay. When the news came out, I said I'd wait and let things play out. I'm still not outraged, I just respect the opinions of some of the people who are coming out against it.
Things are so polarized now though either you want to cancel Jay-Z or you're celebrating the new partnership. I get both sides.
It's still **** the NFL, though.
100% agreed.people questioning him over those pics/comments is fair. saying he supports a white supremacist group that is trying to indoctrinate black children is when **** gets goofy

I personally never "cancelled" Kanye but I'm not sure we can act like the two audiences doing this were the same
There are still tweets I see to the effect of "so he just gonna soul sample his way back into y'alls hearts"
and overall I think that changed peoples perception of him I know it did mine even tho I'll still bump the music if it's good
