LeVar Burton and Ta Nehisi Coates need to appear in Kanye’s bedroom some night dressed as ghosts and make Ye read some damn books.

“You were here for 400 years?” He said you, not us. That motherfucker’s gone full Trumpchurian Candidate.

I think Jay-Z’s last verse in Takeover pretty much sums up how I’m feeling about Kanye. This line in particular, “You are not deep, you made your bed now sleep”.

the last throes of a washed up negro...sad.

You could’ve gone with “Lawrence”, an exfoliating brush, and some shea butter. #NoExcuses

I still think he is a contrarian. He likes putting a stake down in an unpopular opinion because it makes him feel special.

Just look at this nonsense. Yes, it’s as bad as it looks. But he just brushes it off as simply a “preference”. BULLLLLLLSHIT!

gurl, this. I dated a dude of South Asian descent for 4 years and never met his parents or family (save one black sheep cousin) ONCE, despite him a) assuring me it wasn’t a big deal and that they were okay with me (he had a cousin who married a black Muslim, natch) and b) having some sort of family get to get her or…

“Just stay away from the Ashy Larry types”- Yesha I know you love me and wouldn’t do anything to hurt me on purpose, but my name is Larry and I was once ashy. It was a weird time, I couldn’t find Palmer’s lotion at my college and went with some offbrand shit.

Generally speaking, as a black woman who has been living in Asia and studying Asian cultures for several years, I wouldn’t recommend it as an actual goal or last resort. Aside from them being obsessed with whiteness (and yes, them being obsessed with us would disgust me just as much), I cannot stress enough how…

Damon Young at the Root summed this up pretty well in his piece on Monday.

Uncle Tom is not a good look, Kanye.

Exactly. Another example would be Lincoln Perry, better known as “Stepin Fetchit”, who is widely regarded as the first African American man to have a professional Hollywood career. Just to have him in pictures at all was an amazing thing at the time, but there is no doubt that looking back his characters tended to be…

Other than the fact he’s an extremely gifted musician/lyricist. Pretty big wow, is pretty big wow a thing now? Big bada boom leeloo multipass?

That’s not true. As an MC, he’s a very skilled producer.

Maybe but there’s no guarantee a child born to a parent who is 20 or 30 will not also watch said parent die when child is a teen or early adult. And I’m guessing not many of those kids are thinking “wow I wish I’d never been born cause having an elderly parent die on me when I’m a teen is the worst.”

The headline that still has me ROFL is this one...

All that wealth in the Kardashian/Jenner/West Sunken Place is only eclipsed by the dearth of books any of them possess. A goddamn literary desert. None of this is a surprise; so no need to mourn Kanye. He has been gone for ages, and is never coming back. Move on.
