Kanye has lost his goddamn mind

by **Rocinante** 2018-04-28, 19:33

And Michael Harriot of the root knows what’s up.

“To actively support Donald Trump is an act of racism, whether such act is committed by Kanye West, Omarosa Manigault Newman or David Duke. When Trump tweets to Kanye, he is wielding Kanye’s blackness as a weapon against black people. Trump knows this. His supporters know it. Even his son, whose IQ is lower than Kellyanne Conway’s, knows this.“

I like his song Diamonds from Sierra Leone.

by **DWags** 2018-04-28, 20:34

Hmmmm. Wonder if he has a cd coming out?

Of course any Black that supports Trump must be doing it because they're crazy or promoting a CD.

There's simply no other explanation for them deviating from the Liberal mind hive.

Roc? Give Kanye a call and let him know what the bounds of acceptable thought are for a black man. K?

I'd be curious to know what Goose's thoughts on Kanye were before he started supporting Trump.

Jesus guys, Kanye doesn’t give a shit about anything but Kanye. From when he was up on stage with Mike Meyers saying George Bush is a racist during a national fund raiser to putting out fake tweets to a real racist. You guys are absolute fools if you don’t understand what he’s doing and why he’s doing it. And now, he just got the non college white rural knuckle draggers to buy his new stuff along with his old audience too. Slam dunk give the man his money.

His new album release is next month. Wow, even us old minded white rural/suburban sports guys are talking about him on a Sunday.

He’s good at what he does. We’re the proof.

Didn't see a who lot of faces that jumped out as big Kanye West fans and no one was wearing his clothing lines.

Oh, you can tell a persons musical taste just by their face, interesting, what kind of face does a Kanye fan have?

Why do I suspect that if rap stars spoke at the White House dinner thingy last night they'd have their snowflake feelings hurt and demand an apology?

Yes I do but I don't walk about being willfully oblivious to music demographics as many self-labeled "conservatives".

I have a feeling Kanye and reality are only passing acquaintances, however, I do find it amusing how the people that agreed and defended him when he said 'George Bush hates black people' are the sames ones throwing a hissy fit over him saying he likes the Donald, ....and vice versa.

Oh, and plenty of white suburban kids are Kanye fans, ( Kanye has lost his goddamn mind 4113017228

I don't keep up with rap stars or pop culture, but I suspect his cuddling up the the racist, bigoted sexual predator is merely an attempt to sell records to these suburban white kids whose parents tell them that "they" are coming for their stuff.

I suspect he's not all that popular with urban kids. Plus, the white suburban "Make America White Again" families have more disposable income.

I've evidently gotten into IB Fines head.

I don't know what he means by all inclusive world view.

I'm sure IB doesn't agree with my all inclusive active eligibility for the draft for military service for all citizens after high school.

Its all about publicity for Kanye West. Look who's his wife.

Yeah, that darned Black guy couldn't really believe this - he must be promoting an album to make money. Typical snobbery, Kanye just must not know what's good for him. Like those dumb Trump voters. You know the people that have jobs and higher wages now.

The Kanye West Threat: Why Liberals Are So Freaked About Him

When I hear those comments, I think back to my grandfather. He was a hard worker who worked in a mill and took care of my grandmother. He was not in any way, shape, or form a liberal. He didn’t pay that much attention to politics, but he knew one thing: he did not vote for Republicans. In the South, this was called being a Yellow Dog Democrat and you could trace it all the way back to the Civil War. Democrats ran the South and the Confederacy while Republicans were hated for winning the Civil War, hated for carpetbagging, and hated for the way Southerners were treated during reconstruction. It had a racial component to it right after the Civil War, but by the time I was growing up in the South, it was mostly just a generational thing. Did it make a lot of sense that all these relatively conservative Democrats were still supporting a party that had been taken over by far left-wing liberals who looked down on them and no longer represented their values? No, but the thought process was, “My granddaddy hated Republicans, my daddy hated Republicans, my friends and family hate Republicans, so I hate Republicans.” That sort of thinking started dying out in the seventies, but it was a slow process that continues on in a much-reduced form, even today. For example, in 2016 Republicans took over the state House in Kentucky for the first time in 85 years.

Black Americans are modern-day Yellow Dog Democrats. They’ve been voting Democrat for decades and they have very little to show for it. The Democrats gave us the first black president and he did absolutely nothing for black Americans. For the most part, Democrats don’t even try to promise black Americans an improvement in their lives or situation anymore. All they offer are giveaways for people as long as they keep failing at life, while they try to convince black Americans that Republicans hate them. In other words, black Americans feel like they’re stuck in a lose/lose situation. Either they have to choose between someone who will do nothing to make their life or their children’s lives better, or a Republican who hates them.

There are a lot of black Americans who are closer to Republican than Democrat in the views they have and the way they live their lives -- maybe not a majority, but let’s say 30-40 percent. But, the vast majority of black Americans who are against abortion, against gay marriage, want a gun in their home to protect themselves, want to run their own business and believe in taking care of themselves are voting DEMOCRAT. Why? Because “My granddaddy hated Republicans, my daddy hated Republicans, my friends and family hate Republicans, and so I hate Republicans.”

When you’re a political party that has a large group of voters who stay with it because of cultural inertia even though you do almost nothing for them, that is DANGEROUS. If one man stands up, more men may stand up and if Democrats actually have to earn black votes instead of just getting them by default, they’re going to be in a lot of trouble.

Everyone on average has higher wages every single year. It's called a cost of living pay increase. Or annual raises. Take your pick.

Democrats' worst nightmare about Kanye West just came true By Monica Showalter

Black men's approval for Donald Trump has absolutely doubled, according to a new Reuters poll, and his overall support among blacks has risen sharply. This seismic shift just happens to coincide with rap superstar Kanye West's break with the Hollywood left, coupled with his open admiration for Donald Trump. According to the Daily Caller:

A poll taken on April 22, 2018 had Trump's approval rating among black men at 11 percent, while the same poll on April 29, 2018 pegged the approval rating at 22 percent. It should be noted that Reuters only sampled slightly under 200 black males each week and slightly under 3,000 people overall.

Trump experienced a similar jump in approval among black people overall, spiking from 8.9 percent on April 22 to 16.5 percent on April 29.

Kanye made his remarks on April 25, and much of the left panicked, calling him a sell-out, a traitor to his race, and other typical epithets black people who don't toe the Democratic Party line have endured for years. Kanye responded by doubling down, posting a picture of himself with an autographed MAGA cap, and calling Trump his "brother."
