3 news stories annoyed me today in particular: this controversy with Kanye West and his new song Ye vs. The People, this controversy on Twitter with cultural appropriation, and the controversy from the White House Correspondents Dinner.
First, Kanye West pissed a lot of people off with his newfound support for Donald Trump and MAGA. He’s been very active on Twitter recently, tweeting his support for Donald, and for charlatans like Candace Owens (anyone who knows about her past with Social Autopsy knows what I mean). Now a bunch of conservatives are in love with Kanye, which I find to be quite hilarious. And a bunch of people on the Left are annoyed at Kanye for his support of Trump. Now, to the people that are for some reason mad at Kanye, you dumbasses must have amnesia, because Kanye has always done and said controversial ****. This new stunt of his is nothing new. What, now that he’s professed his support for a guy on the opposite of the aisle, suddenly Kanye’s “gone too far”? Shut the **** up. It’s not hard to see that Kanye’s new “MAGA phase” is just a publicity stunt to gain attention, seeing as his album Lift Yourself, is coming out in a few months. And to all the conservatives that think Kanye “gets it” now, because he thinks that the black people that choose vote Democrat are like being stuck on a plantation, shut the **** up. Kanye West is a moron who knows jack **** about politics. his ****ty lyrics in his new song Ye vs. the People is proof enough of that (which is just a terrible song, IMHO). His political knowledge is about as deep as the shallow side of a pool. And the fact that he thinks he’s some anointed spokesperson for the black community, is just even more laughable. And what happened to the conservatives wanting celebrities to shut up about politics? I guess that only applies to the ones that criticize Trump, rather than worship him. :shrug:
Secondly, a girl pissed a lot of people off on Twitter by wearing a red and gold qipao for a prom dress. Lots of people called this out as racist, and another example of white people exploiting other cultures. OMG, shut up you bunch of annoying "progressive" nitwits. Accusations of “cultural appropriation” at this point are thrown around just as flippantly as “Nazi” and “racist”, towards people where the term shouldn’t be thrown at whatsoever. This is the part of the Left that I just despise. These people, who just flip their **** over inconsequential crap like this, need to grow some thicker skin. Who gives a
**** if some white girl decides to wear some cultural dress for prom night? No level-headed person should have an issue with that. Nothing about that should be considered racist, or even offensive. It's not. Focusing on this garbage accomplishes
nothing, especially when you could be spending your time addressing acts of
ACTUAL racism. You aren't progressives, you're just a bunch of virtue-signaling fools who try to find offense in every little thing.
Grow the hell up.
Now, last but not least, this whole controversy with Michelle Wolf. Look, I didn’t think she was funny at all. I barely chuckled watching her entire segment, for the majority of it I was cringing. And her delivery just didn’t help at all. With that being said, I don’t have a problem with most the jabs that she made. She did the job she was hired to do, even if I don't think she did it particularly very well. Don't like it? Then don't hire comedians to come and roast you. The Sarah comments were actually pretty meh in my opinion. The one and only comment that I loved specifically, was the one Michelle threw at the media, pointing out that the press seems to hate Donald Trump so much, yet they cover him non-stop. And you know what? She’s 100% correct about that. As she said, “You helped create this monster, and are profiting off of it.”
Best line in her entire monologue. The media spends all of their time covering every little thing that has to do with Trump, because they know it helps their ratings. That’s why the majority of the media’s talking heads that I’ve seen address this, are only choosing to focus on her petty jabs at Sarah Huckabee. The media has no moral high ground to stand on denouncing Michelle, when they fuel the fires of divisiveness way more than Michelle ever could. So the media talking heads can go shove it. Now, in response to a lot of the right-wingers that were apparently offended by her jokes, and want her to apologize for what she said about Sarah, just goes to show that “snowflakes”, aren’t just on the Left. Always fun to see that hypocrisy play out. So many on the right always complain that many on the Left get overly-offended at jokes (which is true in a lot of cases), but they get
just as offended as the liberals that they criticize when
they become the butt of the jokes.
That's all I've got. Have a swell evening.
