Just finished watching an interview with him. basically he said the flag means slavery and since we're all the new slaves, he's embracing the flag as his own.
Kanye is an artist, and as an art major myself, I get it. I've seen this kind of thing often, LA, Vancouver and SF abstract art galleries and all that, where you have a jewish woman humping a nazi flag, and random out the box ideas, nothing new. Regular in the box minds won't get it, in the art world, everything goes, you can literally do whatever the fukk you want with impunity, that's sorta the beauty of it. Seeing how far your mind can break from the norm, how out there it can get. Like a mind scream. Lot of people are afraid of appearing crazy, abnormal, weird, etc. Tbh I don't know why, it's not quite how my mind works, never had that fear, but I get it. Kinda like the matrix I guess. Would I wear the flag? Hell nah. That's dangerous, but he's a celeb, so no ones gonna do shyt.
Anyways, Kanye said he's adopting the flag as his own, and there's nothing anyone can do about it, except talk about it.......and he's right.
