fantastic series of tweets, worth reading

"y'all realize that's the same racist bullshyt that Kanye has tried to explain in most of his interviews?"

"Kimmel did everything Kanye kept explaining always happens to him, not being taken seriously as a black creative. They didn't even change his words, they replaced him with a child and that's how white America see's him and that's his battle."

"one thing white america can't abide is a POC who takes themselves seriously, worse, a creative black man who won't be excessively humble"

"that's why kanye means so much to so many people, he refuses to respect the message of 'know your place'"

"white artists are never lampooned for believing in themselves the way kanye constantly is"

"it's about being unwilling to even engage Kanye, the impulse to dismiss his energy outright as narcissism and vanity"

"we're told: creative, confident, person of color #picktwo"



"never asking you to do anything other then consider context."

powerful stuff here. what are your thoughts?

Kanye tried to infiltrate the white world. His ridiculous clothes (fashion...?), his white woman, and his rave for everything white is why he's in the situation he is in now. He became a walking stereotype and of course he is being exploited. I don't know who y'all are trying to convince comparing him to a civil rights activist...The same man who is running up behind all these fashion designers who refuse to have black models in their clothes. He wants their okay... He's a c00n. He's foolish and I don't care if anyone makes fun of him because IMO he's a walking joke. If you saw his lame ass walking down the street in leather jogging pants (this HAS to be an oxymoron), you would make fun of him too. He's overdramatic and acts like a woman. He's arrogant to a fault. I can't stand him...

In all actuality though, I think he's a hurting man. His mother died and I think he is looking for something to fill the void in his heart...

nikkas lose mamas everyday b. no excuse for running around here throwing bytch fits about fashion and shyt. the nikka could be a lil more humbler and could at least fukk with the black community in some shape form or something!

Let's see what happens if Ralph Lauren decides he wants to become a rapper.... let's see what the reaction would be from the hip hop community...

Bunch of hypocrites

I'd read his tweets earlier when they were posted but I didn't see the video. That was extremely tame.

Exactly. If people read the tweets and the transcript to the video with no video, people wouldn't be saying he was narcissistic and childish.

 

[NoMoreWhiteWoman2020]

kanye is a rapper but not a lyricist, he dont write his own lyrics

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

if kanye approved him sayin that about his kid's mother just to generate publicity, then he's a hoe

He has a line on a hit single that brags about his girl becoming famous from a sex tape, do you really think he cares all that much?

did anyone actually see this commercial? the only site i'm seeing reporting this is "larrybrownsports.com" and i haven't seen a video of the commercial or anything. did you watch it live? does a video of this commercial exist?

I agree. Kimmel just followed the convention of any person: mock kanye for no apparent reason. Or any reason that's of any substance. There are a bunch of ppl that he couldve parodied that are really doing some disgusting shyt (hey, Miley).
