Slavery *was* a choice...

I don’t think Kanye considers himself part of any larger group. To do that, he’d need empathy and the ability for abstract thought.

Nah, that horse’ll drown before he dtinks.

I got an idea...

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.

Another case of Asimov’s Cult of Ignorance - “My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”

I often try to pinpoint the moment when “everyone is entitled to their opinions” somehow erroneously morphed into “everyone’s opinion is entitled to respect.” Because NO.

Louder for the back row!

At some point a discussion needs to be had about whether continuing to cover Kanye’s opinions/tantrums/nervous breakdown is responsible. If one thinks that he is just being politically provocative then yes it is but if he’s in the middle of a manic phase or in the throes of some other mental illness or cognitive…

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

We need to stop this “I’m entitled to my opinion” non-sense. All opinions are not of value nor should they be respected. I know absolutely nothing about nuclear physics. My opinion on the topic of nuclear physics makes about as much sense as a soup sandwich.

Right, he felt that. I don’t think Kanye gets any kind of that talk...straight talk...from anyone around him.

Credit to Van for responding, in the moment and in the face a huge celebrity and icon and not backing down and still delivering some really real shit to Kanye’s face.

These people are not used to the truth being shoved down their throats. There was definitely that “How dare she speak to me in this way...” vibe in their faces, on the news circuit the next day, and in the editorial media. Chappelle is spot on about this shit. Privilege at its best. They can’t handle it.

More Michelle Wolf please. They haven’t cried hard or long enough yet. My big ass mug for white tears isn’t full.

What’s Uncle Tom for white women was my favorite part.
