Smart-dumbProud non-reader Kanye West turns author | Reuters
“Sometimes people write novels and they just be so wordy and so self-absorbed,” West said. “I am not a fan of books. I would never want a book’s autograph.
“I am a proud non-reader of books. I like to get information from doing stuff like actually talking to people and living real life,” he said.
It’s in the interview with Charlemagne. He definitely feels a way about the LV thing.Kanye created his own brand and is seeing hella bread it. If he was hating on Virgil I think we would've heard it by now.
Props breh. This is what an intelligent, poised summary of facts as a response to Kanye’s ignorant statements looks like.More problematic than kanye's cornish statement is the motivation behind it. Its serves no purpose other than attempting to appease white guilt. And all of his supposedly "free thinking" ideas seem to do the same thing...
on top of the slavery comment he also pulled out the good old right wing what about black on black crime comment. And the conservative talking point that blacks kill other blacks 90% of the time.. which ignores the fact that whites kill whites at about the same rate cause most murders are committed by people who know each other.
Kanye has been seeking white acceptance his whole life. He married a white woman so he could have non black kids. He worships white fashion designers and begs for their acceptance. Dyes his hair blond and wears blue contacts. This is a man who hates himself and hates being black.
He gets no pass. He has never been on the front lines of any black civil rights issue. I dont remember anything notable from him ever on the numerous police shootings of black men or black lives matter protest like like i have from his peers. He has been silent.
These are dangerous times when openly racist "ideas" like this are being peddled in the mainstream as a valid viewpoint. Factually it's inaccurate and morally its reprehensible. Like others have mentioned if he is such a free thinker let's see if he will say the same thing about Jews and the holocaust.
OMG... dude that was well put together and im not trying to be rude... but it just feels like u guys arent comprehending well....
all yall keep saying is how heinous and fukked up the options (choices) were...
but are u forgetting that there were ppl who made the opposite choice not to be a slave and rather be dead... or ppl risked there lives for freedom... they made a choice... u always have a choice....
Who knows what i would have done, ur right... but i do know there were individuals who made the choice i think i wouldve made... So at the end of the day... YES, U HAD A CHOICE TO BE A SLAVE...
Edit: and also, ur examples were disingenuous... u stopping the romans or ghengis Khan... is equivalent to u personally stopping slavery urself... im not saying that...
Im saying u as a person taken into captivity had an choice... stay in this situation and endure this shyt. have kids that will endure this shyt.... and watch my grandkids go thru this fukk shyt..................ORRRRRRRRRRR
