... thanks to the quick reflexes and hand-eye coordination training he received as a result of constantly playing online multiplayer twitch shooters.

(That's what it's supposed to say, probably.)

Well, it clearly wasn't Call of Duty: Ghosts, because otherwise he would have just camped his window with a Honeybadger and thermal scope, waiting to pick off the EMT as the house next door explodes.

Well, the more he spends, the better for the economy so I say go for it.

+1 internets!

I think this could be a thing if the thing people were watching was porn.

You're customarily supposed to thank your agent, your lawyer and your manager first. And maybe God. Pretty much in that order. ;)

Well, it's a good metric for how far feminism has come. ;)

Arched like the mountaintops of Mt. Seleya.

Anyone can marry into Judaism and convert.

Race is a social construct based entirely on external differences, not genetic ones. There may be certain genetic tendencies amongst certain groups (eg. disease tendency), it's not due to race, but due to marrying within their own communities and passing on those genetics.

What…

Well, if he's a fool, then he's a very successful fool with a lot of money and kudos.

I may not know a lot about Kanye West (I don't really know any of his music, although now I'm considering checking it out), and he may come across as pretty egotistical in the news media, but no one gets where he is with zero talent…

"He said that he never won a GRAMMY against a white person, and he said that, at one of his concerts, almost THREE YEARS after Swift-Gate."

Do you think that means he never thought about the politics of race entering into awards shows until three years later, or do you think it's possible that he has been thinking…

Well, he was drunk, but his point was that he believed the reason why Swift won over Bey was _not_ because Swift deserved it, but because of race/skin colour and racism against women of colour vs. white privilege.

He probably didn't articulate it very well, but that's the gist of his reasoning, at least from what I got…

This.

Privilege only makes sense in context, and in terms of intersectionality. Most everyone has privilege over someone else, depending on the circumstances or what areas you're comparing them to. Overall privilege is remarkably rare (but if any one fits that definition, it would be the people who make up the 1% because…

Ethiopian Jews aren't very well known (at least in North America) but they do face discrimination even in Israel.

I think that's an issue for artists of colour who speak politically incorrectly in their art: there are accusations of self-hate and internalized racism, etc. and while those criticisms aren't wrong, I think the point of an artist is often to explore those very politically incorrect things and delve into things we…

Well, I think a lot of people who are very talented, intelligent, etc. in one area, when they suddenly achieve fame and fortune for it, suddenly start thinking they are an expert on all kinds of other things that really, they have very little knowledge about (eg. Richard Dawkins, James Watson, etc.)

It especially…

Male privilege is blinding, though, and very few people understand intersectionality, even people who are steeped in anti-racist discourse.

I think Kanye is intelligent enough that if someone explained it to him, he might understand... but whether he has the humility to admit when he's wrong is an entirely different…

While I understand your concerns about Kanye's mental health, and really, there's a fine line between genius and insanity, but that's not to say that what Kanye is saying is wrong.

It may not be healthy for him to have a Messiah complex (look what it did to Michael Jackson) and particularly for someone who is rich and…

I agree. I do think he's confused about the 'Jewish people' part, though: 1) it's not like Jewish Americans didn't have to fight their way out of poverty after arriving in the country with nothing, 2) they faced extraordinary anti-Semitism in North America, and had to fight to even emigrate before and during WWII.

Not…
