This is, hands down, THE best analysis of this madness we’re living I’ve ever read.

Wow! You nailed it man, especially the part of about “alt-right” ideas being appealing to both Black and white men Cause all a Hotep is is a Proud Boy in blackface.
Now this. First let me say very well written, i love reading your articles. This is a description of so much that is wrong with the world! Not to just be applied to Kanye and Frump but really all of us. We have accepted less than reality since arriving on this earth and all it takes is a short search of who’s popular…
That is one of the best things I have read in a long time and one hell of a gut punch.
Holy Shit.

That’s one of the better posts I’ve read in a while.
This is the best thing I’ve read in years.
Can we treat Kanye the way that Azealia Banks and Mo’Nique are treated when they get out of pocket like this?
Probably the best piece of writing I’ve read in years. It’s so rare when powerful insights are matched by such beautiful craftsmanship. My favorite example:
We are a country addicted to nostalgia, but with no regard for history.
Your points are well made. People like Trump and Kanye (and really any of these reality TV celebs) only weild the power that we grant them, but they keep selling something that we think we want, and we’ve allowed ourselves to be deluded into thinking it’s what we want/need. We see them as something to aspire to, when…
