Kanye West

He said it on TMZ in that video but he got cut off by the Angry Black Man on TMZ, and Kanye went over there and hugged him.

This idea ain’t new, it’s gaining traction in black activist groups; blacks didn’t get the official right to vote in the U.S. until 1965, that’s only 53 years ago; before that, blacks identifed as REPUBLICAN for generations (it’s the party of Lincoln, who emancipated them). It wasn’t until LBJ took on Civil Rights and Nixon invited the white Democrats to jump ship to the Republican side (“Southern Strategy”) that we saw the exodus of blacks to the Democratic side. And the large urban areas have been primarily governed by Democrats ever since, except blacks are still living in poverty and are disproportionately arrested and are disproportionately killed by violence and police brutality in those urban centers, despite the Democratic Governance; which has lead black activism to wonder if Group Think (mental slavery) and always voting the same way has done them a great disservice. Now, black activists are talking about a possible third party.

This is the same shit that Killer Mike got for doing a video on NRA TV, like OMG NRA BAD, except he provided a very intelligent explanation as to why disarming blacks when they’re 53 years outside of apartheid is a BAD fucking idea and that blacks joining the NRA en masse is a GOOD IDEA much like the Black Panthers, and the other thinking is mental brainwashing from white people.

And Kanye took it even further in that TMZ video (well, tried to) by saying that we can look BEYOND the black slavery issue and see that blacks and whites are actually enjoined in one prison system of the government.

We are so fucking POLARIZED, now, we can’t even engage in critical thinking.

If you take a college class on this topic, this is the kind of discussion that happens; you have exams about this shit.

Trump voters blame OBAMA for “increased racism” in this country, which is actually due to resentment that a black dude was in the White House, which led to a backlash; Trump isn’t responsible for more racism, either, no more than Obama was guilty of “not doing anything” about Chicago violence for the 8 years he was in office (as Kanye asserted); violence and oppression are local issues, enforced by systemic issues; but Malcolm X said that if blacks joined together in a mass uprising to demand change is the only way that change will occur, and he said that 55 years ago; Kanye says the problem is those icons like King and Malcolm X are too long ago, that someone more contemporary is needed, and that’s obviously correct.

Kanye’s biggest problem is that Twitter ain’t the best medium for what he’s trying to discuss. And I ain’t sure this country is ready to discuss it. Ain’t that woke yet. Kanye made an interesting point about Trump being a Superhero in hip hop back when Trump was a materialistic superhero. Materialism being, of course, a huge theme in hip hop. Capitalism is a big Ponzi Scheme and hip hop artists haven’t figured out, yet, that they tools of the top people in the Ponzi Scheme (and the rappers ain’t anywhere NEAR the top).

Kanye says his heroes are guys like Disney and Jobs and Ford.

Except when Disney’s creative artists wanted more hourly pay, in accordance with what was customary at the time, and they tried to (and ultimately did) form a labor union, Disney called them all Communists, and joined the McCarthy inquest. Henry Ford was anti Semitic and didn’t like immigrants. Steve Jobs was pretty much a selfish dickhead.

Black and poor whites are in a similar boat right now.

Some interesting thoughts.

Kanye got liposuction.

[Orpheus]

Even if that is what Kanye means, aligning himself with Trump is still a slap in the face to the entire black community after 1)Trump's terribly racist history, 2) the way he's run his campaign and 3) his comments about Charlotsville and white supremacy in general. I understand people trying to find a third way, but why they keep choosing this awful, evil man is beyond me. He's revealed what he is already ten times over, and none of it is good.

Kanye continues to go full retard. I’m completely not surprised.

I watched the 2 hour interview with charlamagne

Will you at least concede that he is immensely talented? He's a dick head, but he is talented as hell.

I legitimately love The College Dropout and most of Late Registration and Graduation. Everything after has been spotty as hell or just straight up horrible (Yeezus and Pablo specifically for the latter). Fantasy was the last album of his worth listening to if you asked me.

I find it funny all the "so woke" idiots on my Facebook are parroting Kanye and saying he's totally right lately, and it's not even just white people, I have a couple crazy ass black friends agreeing with his "slavery was a choice" ramblings too. Of course, these are the same people who spam about the Rothschilds and share anti-vaccination propaganda as factual evidence, so I don't really take any opinions they have very seriously.

The TMZ interview is very disturbing. I've said since the TLOP rollout that he's suffering from mental illness, and everything that's happened since has only confirmed it. This is a straight-up manic episode.

[Jammer XCI]

Yeah, it's not cool to make fun of the mentally ill (or the retarded for that matter). He definitely needs to get his meds checked and a psychiatric evaluation instead of an interview with TMZ or Charlemagne right about now.

Oh yeah, also I forgot about that Watch the Throne album, some of that stuff was cool. HAM, Murder to Excellence, Niggas in Paris, Black Axl Rose, that shit was pretty tight.

Completely agree. And I don't think he's the type of personality who can or will admit he needs help. Seems like he's too narcissistic. Whether it's bipolar disorder or whatever, his actions are very disconcerting.

[BurtReynolds]

Forgive them Kanye, they know not what they are talking about.

[BurtReynolds]

Dev, these guys are never gonna get it, are they?

[dimejinky99]

I think I get what he was trying to say. Did he mean ‘we’ve been defining ourselves by this for 400 years’?

If so It’s kinda similar to a lot of hassle over here. We in Ireland will often blame the British for everything ‘ fuck them! They deserve it for 800 years of rape murder torture destroying our culture!’ Etc etc. So we’re often very defined by that and what they did to us.

He’s clearly a very mentally unstable fella. And seems to have a messiah complex about himself. Is he on the Autism scale? Seems likely.
He’s an arsehole too obviously but hope he gets help.

[jwfocker]

God damn even his voice is annoying as fuck. Just shut up already.

He sounds like someone with a off the charts Narcissistic Personality Disorder. So I can see how he gets along with trump.

[Jorge]

Dev, these guys are never gonna get it, are they?

It's not even really about what he's saying

[Dev]

Dev, these guys are never gonna get it, are they?

apparently not.

[Dev]

honestly I'm not surprised because people's minds ARE enslaved.

[dimejinky99]

And you’re here to liberate us all I take it?

[Jammer XCI]

Kanye might be down for an appearance on Dev radio while he’s going the full retard.
