More ill-advised/poorly stated than bad, the main thing somebody should've have pointed out to Smith is, for instance:

> “I can say anti-Semitic things, and Adidas can’t drop me. Now what?” West said at the time.

This didn't happen because antisemitism's some sort of unique bright line, this happened because Kanye kept forcing the issue and nobody's willing to make excuses for him anymore.

Beyond that, yes Black people are underrepresented in corporate boards/exec levels, and yes anti-Black racism is tolerated to a much greater extent in the US than antisemitism, and yes, Smith's entitled to his own perspective on this stuff but the biggest lesson here is Never Tweet.
