Just to further address this Kanye debacle.
The amount of people that think Kanye has some kind of valid point, is just saddening to me. First of all, if you haven't watched the TMZ interview with Kanye, go watch it in full. He is a rambling lunatic, who has no idea what he's talking about, goes all over the place, and has no coherent argument. That little blip in the media makes it seem like that was mostly what he was talking about, but really that was one stupid point in a list of even stupider points. And it's funny, because his previous interview with Charlemagne Tha God was so much better. I don't know why he was unable to keep a consistent train of thought in that TMZ interview. The only thing Kanye can really recite is a bunch of talking points Candace Owens has been feeding to him. In fact, in that interview all she really was was his translator, so that his rants sounded a little bit more coherent.
But now he's Trump supporters new favorite black guy. And this is funny, because a lot of these very same people criticise other celebrities when they go on left-wing tirades against Trump, when they apparently should just be doing what they were paid to do. Or with Colin Kaepernick, when he protested by taking a knee. I guess that only applies when they disagree with the content. Either it's not okay for none of them, or okay for all of them. Pick one.
And with the whole slavery is a choice thing, that is not new sentiment. I've heard it before, and it was just as stupid back then as it is now. People are saying "slaves had the choice to fight back!" And some slaves did. But many of them died as a result. And not only that, fighting back against an entire slave system like that was just not feasible for the slaves at that time, certainly not on any large scale. It took the country being ripped apart in two for slavery to end. The "choice" slaves had was a BS choice. Either be a slave or die. That's not much of a choice, of ****ing course most wanted to live. That's the logical thing to do in that situation, because they had no means to change their situation in the long run. It took a whole lot of effort, to make some significant changes.
Now, some hardcore fans of Kanye are praising him, for having "opened their eyes" to the other side of the aisle. And to that I say this: If it took a rambling moron like Kanye to convince you that the other side isn't Satan incarnate, you should probably steer clear of politics in general. All he did was wear a MAGA hat, shake Trump's hand, and say a bunch of stupid bull****. The only thing that should convince anyone of is how loony he is. And even with the Trump supporters that love Kanye now, it's not like he supports Trump's policies. In the interview with Charlamagne, he supported "Bernie-like politics" under the face of Trump. Kanye likes Trump for his image: they are both egotistical narcissists, and tend to go against the grain and ignite controversy. His talking points that he got from his buddy Candace are just whatever.
And I also don't understand the people that think now Kanye's lost it. No, you idiots, he's always been this retarded. Every since he was like "George Bush doesn't care about black people!". Or when he blamed Obama's inability to get anything done on the Jews. Just because Kanye went MAGA now and is all buddy-buddy with Trump, doesn't mean he's any less dumb than he already was. But now his little stunt seems to be backfiring on him, as he alienated a lot of his fans with his comments. Might hurt his album financially if this continues to grow, but I doubt it.
Kanye is politically stupid, his entire argument was stupid, and people need to stop acting like he had any kind of coherent point to his ramblings. And people need to stop acting like Kanye somehow went to the deep end, when he's always been this crazy.
