His sentiment is pretty mild & generic, but two things I know for sure:
Meh,
Yes, but ... all these wypipo caving when they run up against truly tough obstacles, and yet and still they resist and squall like babies when someone else who could do a better job either does one or runs because they want to do it. All the supposed “men of principle” never speak up till they’re on the way out, and…
Last week while we were all debating whether it was Laurel or Yanny, watching white people calling the police on…
Ida Bell Wells-Barnett—abolitionist, suffragist, journalist and organizer—is a legend. She is the blueprint for…
The White House wants desperately to craft this ideology that violent brown criminals are “animals.” Administration…
This Poll included a total of two hundred black men of which twenty now support Trump. Ten black men account for the difference over previous measures of support. This may not be significant except in the absolute sense that at least nineteen black American men, besides Kanye himself, support Trump. Clearly one of…
Sorry.
And i’m cynical enough to believe that Kanye’s horrible statement about slavery also played well with Trump and his White House inner-circle. I think Trump was also thanking Kanye for saying something a lot of his alt-right/deplorable supporters feel, but do not dare say in public.
To many, Kanye West is merely an egomaniacal rapper. To others, he’s a powerful black force with T’Challa-like…
Another case of Asimov’s Cult of Ignorance - “My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
And for not just losing his shit and yelling at Kanye’s dumb ass. Which would have been perfectly understandable?
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.
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.
I attest to the bipolar part. I’m not stupid by any means but in the past, when I was unmedicated, I was an unintelligible, brash, emotional rollercoaster that most people could not deal with. I am so much happier and focused when I’m on my meds.
Being bipolar does not make you either an idiot or an asshole. Yes, you can make bad decisions during episodes, but those are usually of the “Yesterday I bought every pair of red shoes Zappos offers/I haven’t showered in six weeks” variety.
I wasn’t all that into him anyway except for that whole George Bush doesn’t care about Black people bit but nothing he’s done can make up for this current shit.
A mental illness explains the drama in his life, but doesn’t excuse anything. I don’t care whether people buy his merchandise or watch him perform. The bipolar issue interests me, because I know people with that condition.
Kanye is reportedly bipolar and possibly not on meds. Bipolar people are often productive and creative, with an amazing ability to focus on their projects. But, they are sick. They do not think the way most people do. Obviously as a black entertainer trying to appeal to a demographic that is not aged, it is a bad…
