Charlamagne Tha God: Kanye West Sounds 'Ignorant' | Velshi & Ruhle | MSNBC 

Flint still doesn't have clean water

Is it really that difficult to comprehend what Kanye meant?

Here's the joke of the day: Kanye is taken seriously in America.

What Kanye gets wrong is when he says Donald Trump winning the presidency makes him believe anything is possible in America. I agree that it was extremely unlikely but it’s no surprise a rich, powerful white man won. It happened 43 times before Trump. What should really make Kanye believe anything is possible was the 44th person who won. For a poor, fatherless, black man to win the presidency is as rare and extraordinary as anything I can think of and what really make America great. I hope someday Kanye comes to that realization.

See this what happens when people idolize these celebrities like their gods and call them genius, kings and queens. They start believing the hype.

Charlemagne is lame. Kanye did say "mentally" did you not watch the interview?

Nothing says "outsider" and "underdog" like a guy whose dad gave him a quarter of a billion dollars...

What I see in these comments here is a whole lot of people who do not understand the point Kanye is trying to make. And by acting the way you act, you prove his point beautifully. Kanye is talking about the self enslavement of the mind and the hate it breeds that will keep you in that little cave of yours. This is not a left nor a right wing issue, this is about people not thinking for themselves. This is about going the easy way and just label everyone you don't like or understand according to whomever you subscribed to. Comments like "The far right nutjobs will come out of the woodwork to back Kanye, even though they wouldn't let him in their house or date their daughter. Lol" show this beautifully. Just go straight for the labels. It's so easy and so wrong at the same time. It's a very low resolution view of the world.

Ignorance sees no color

The media trying to use black people to bash on their own people smh... everyone falling for it instead of standing with kanye and work things out

Kanye the type to go in the police station and call 911

Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 still lack electricity months after the deadly hurricane. Last time I checked American citizens live in that island and federal government under Trump has done zilch to restore power.

Kanye and Tramp are made for each other. I'm sure Kim is flat palming her head.

Kanye’s ideology just flies over all of your heads

Has Kanye EVER sounded intelligent? All I've ever seen is brazen ego...

I think what he was trying to say is, some people hold on to the past and it paralyses them. I agree. Slavery is something that happened. It is a part of history since the beginning of time. He is saying, you are free and nothing is standing in your way. Live and prosper. Don't choose to be a slave by living in the past....or perhaps he literally meant it. I don't know.

It so sad that Charlemagne is back stabbing Kanye. Why they are working so hard to discredit Kanye? That is the key to his impact. Kanye is right.

They are misrepresenting kanye and what he said and what Charlemagne said. Fake news at its finest

definition of bigot= a person who is intolerant toward those holding different opinions. KEYWORD INTOLERANT sounds hypocritical of charlamgne to say, because the Hit that was put out on kanye for speaking his opinion is completely suppressed in the media. The hit on him is completely bigotry, maybe even fascism thinking and easy to prosecute if Charlamagne was a person against bigotry. Its ridicules for him to interview kanye and say he doesnt know what hes talking about playing him like some fool for how he feels. when its purely what he thinks/feels , nice jab there charlamagne you are now a part of the media trying to suppress equality and free thought. the Left dont want you to think freely, they dont want you to take care of your self, they also dont want a superstar with a huge minority following to think in a manner that kanyes thinking. call it the Illuminati if you want but the higher up is watching and panicking because of kanye..... the backlash from the media is a symptom mark my words.

So now TMZ decide to post the actual video for the world to see what actually happened. Van gave a good ans but he didn't post all of the footage on his social media but the edited one. Kanye approach him in a matured and a professional way. TMZ waited too long to release the whole footage the question is why? Guys please go check the full video on TMZ and you will know it makes sense and the whole conversation ended in love not how van and TMZ crew mad the world to believe

Kanya you are not being attacked for having ideas just uninformed ideas such as slavery was a choice.

Charlatan the God, easy to criticize Kanye behind his back after interviewing him. Do it to his face. Respect a man for his opinions, don't talk behind his back after interviewing him and acting cool about what Kanye had to say. Charlamange God. God of what? Hypocrisy.

He's being paid to put Kanye down now. He sounds pretty different from the Kanye interview. Msnbc is nitpicking to the parts where he sounds ignorant buts he's not. Kanye wants love.

Lmao how can anyone take this news station seriously. He reads knayes tweet and chooses not to read than whole tweet correctly leaving out, 'i love everyone' to further his one sided argument. It's pathetic that people put so much trust and time into watching these fools who try to manipulate you into their ideas

Why didn’t he say this to his face ?

But how are black people Choosing to be mentally enslaved if racism towards black people is still happening today? How can we move on from that if racism is still going on?

remember when Chalarmagne called Monique a donkey for speakin up against racism

“You seen The Incredibles? “Yeah.” That man straight up lied right to Charlamagne’s face 😒

That's what Kanye meant. That all slaves should have united and over throw the plantion owners

Charlamagne sounds two-faced in this video

Charlamange Tha God, is totally the best expert you could have picked he was great and should be listened to

I don't agree with that rich rhetoric comment from Charlamagne. People move out of their country all the time look at Mexico, Syria, war torn, poor countries. They escape those countries and come to the U.S.

So sad 😔.. I never liked him to begin with, but thought he was more intelligent

This is why I terminated cable service so many years ago.

Kanye wrong

Media is to busy selling drama. Give peace a chance

Bottom line: Don’t go to Kanye for pertinent issues regarding race, politics, and/or religion. He is just part of the clown show of Don the Con.

Dragon Energy = Narcissism

Kanye West is right. People should be FREE THINKERS. Your slavery right now is A CHOICE. You fight to defend being spoonfed what to think.

He said *400* years was a choice!!! Are you even listening? Once phisical slavery (less than 200 years) ended mental slavery continued up until today.

"That's not a good enough reason to stand next to a bigot if you ask me", this got my like right there. Nuff said. He then said "that's what a rich person would say". Yes, he understands what is defined in "Sitting In The Fire" ( large group transformation, Arnold MIndell) as rank.

People will always be a slave of their thoughts......lets love each other and stop racism.

Wake up and stop thinking about slavery anything is possible it's a choice when it doesn't let you move forward ... Kanye it's not crazy he knows exactly what he is doing.

Lmao no one understands that Kanye's company is one of the fastest growing right now and Trump economic policy has been helping out big business like crazy

Do you know how you ended up with a reality TV star as president? By paying too much attention to what entertainers have to say about politics and actually taking it seriously. Just saying.

Charlemagne tha God made some great points in this interview. Well spoken and great critic of Kanye.

Kanye just said racism is ok for him. WTF? If he wasn't down with racism he'd leave America. He's just like Trump.

We weren't kidnapped... Example: the Dahomey Amazon Women protect their king, you saw this allegory in black panther. The dahomey sold blacks to eurpeans for modern things like guns, etc... Your 13 colonies black leaders were Moore's which is a derivative of Islam were glad to have you as slaves because there was the biblical divide between Jacob who followed God and Esau who took upon the Hittite religion which is now saudi Arabia and the mindset of Islam. Also even the catholic monstrence uses the CRESENT moon which was taught to them. On how the 🐇 rabbit hole deep.

I wanna see Kanye's birth certificate. He doesn't sound like he was educated in America.

T’Challa: Maybe we can still heal you. Killmonger: Why? So you can lock me up? Killmonger: Nah, bury me in the ocean with my ancestors that jumped from the ships. Because they knew death was better than bondage.

Stable genius

CAN someone PLEASE tell me the "Policy or Ideology" that Trump made that disadvantage black people or minorities? Anyone at all?

Slave phi u took me out 😭

In a nutshell it's all about, L. O. V. E. and WE need to come together! The mainstream media is spreading H. A. T. E., and WE need to be honest with ourselves. I admire Kanye West for being honest and speaking the truth. Let's come together!

Kanye Is A Genius... Get Rich Black Folks... Get Rich Boys...

I was hoping kanye would bring empirical data to the table. Do your homework! Bring factual data . I turn off people who have emotional rants talking about being a millionaire on Adidas something I haven't since I was in high school almost 50 years ago. I wear birkenstocks comfortable and good for my back feet and hips. I felt sorry for kanye. It was very sad.

We're in the time of Revelation.

KANYE STAND STRONG, THERE STANDING IN THE GUTTER YELLING UP AT YOU.

He didn’t even mean it like that. He actually makes a lot of sense. You just have to watch the whole interview. People choose to hear just the “slavery is a choice” line and ignore the WHOLE message

Honestly I don't think Kanye is the problem here, its the majority of society believing celebrities know more than why they got famous in the first place. Because someone has the ability to record music, and write lyrics they suddenly have all the answers pertaining to life? if you pay attention to Kanye's words you'll realize he's just an average Joe pretending he knows things he has no idea about.

He wants to sell things

Kanye is doing u goons a favour tryna wake u up to how shaped ur perspectives are by the media and by holly wood and the elites. Tryna tell u how powerful ur minds are and how the media is reminding u about slavery so u stay enslaved to the past! He keeeps tryna talk about economic empowerment because that matters not constantly staying divided over racism

It seems like a rich man not understanding that his money and fame doesn't make him better than anyone else. There are a lot of country's that wouldn't allow kanye's opinion. That's why people come to America...to embrace our freedoms...especially our freedom of speech.

Watch the full interview on TMZ before judging Kanye.

2000% agree with everything Charlamagne said here

Your name is what? The god?. Okay. So we got that covered and then you went and called another rapper ignorant. Check

I am sure Kanye West is looking for attention. Instead, he is distancing some people from him. Kanye, just pull out your new album if your coming out is because of that, but make sure the pieces sound good. Unless you want to get burned "too" - you know what I mean

Charlemagne just face it! The guy is just cringe worthy crazy!

the "he is rich" argument is quite lame. He wasn't born rich, he's earned his fortune. so bcz of that he's not entitled to make a point!! b.s. #freethought

I don't get why people don't get the fact that Kanye was talking about mental Slavery

When a black person leaves the democratic plantation the democrats let the hounds out.

Charlamagne should be even bigger than he is. He is so great.

That man Kanye is a marketing genius...

So why didn’t Charlamagne say this during the interview

MAGA 2020 over here. Ever Trump!

I didn't pleage Slavery Fi U... Brilliant!

I agree with Kanye West!

Him and Donald Trump have one thing in common impulsive behavior.

But didn't he just do an interview with him? He (kanye) said in the interview that since he did that to Taylor it's haunted him but he's "over that" or "past it", we're living in a scary place and people don't realize and I feel he's been trying to speak out for such a long time and now that everybody wants to be weird, wants to express themselves and now being weird is cool, he's so gone to were he can't even celebrate this new season of people standing up correctly, it's all spattered. He was the seed and its grown but we forgot about the roots.. and we still manage to call it ignorance or crazy.. just be happy, let people be.

Slavery is a choice in sense.If you choose to let it cripple you from doing want you want to do in life. #SouthAfrica

why don't people like trump again

Kanye is a modern Jim Jones of this time 2018. The Lord the my people are destroyed because of a lack of knowledge. Kanye is not that knowledge we seek.

We already had that feeling with Obama.. Trump is trying to take that feeling away from us. The ability to dream bigger, stop making us smaller. We are wakanda my G.

Google indigenous Americans and click image kayne West is a genius

I don't agree with you, Kanye. He's just a black Tomi Lahren. Tomi Lahren is the white Stacey Dash.

He wore that red hat to show you he's trying to make america great again! please wake up and stand together with Ye! #LiftedUpAsNewNatinalAnthem

Thank You Charlemagne for representing Kanye West in a Good Light! 👍 Thumbs up for this interview!

How did civil rights happened because black people stood up and said enough is enough

Love that handsome man!!

What's next, Eminem rename himself to Kunta Kinte?

Kanyes well aware of his policies. Hes well aware of the policies that have lead to better income in black households, more jobs, and even less crime in Chicago.

“Yeah yeah yeah yeah” is a very annoying way too acknowledge you understand or hear them.

If slavery was choice then why were they in chains?

This days they don't show news, it's all just entertainment. There is better news to be told

feed the devil and it grows... the kfamily.plus kanye... all demons...just growing..very prideful... however pride comes before a fall

Now they want to destroy our perspective of the Charlemagne’s interview with Kanye.

You know MSNBC has reached a new low when they asked this clown to come on their show

I think its interesting how everything these days seems to be falling down at the same time.i didnt agree with kanye statement ,but less energy is going into him then the distractions that most americans are steeped into these days.something bigger is waiting for us over the horizon.

There are a lot of bots and Fox Trump supporters embracing Kanye as their hero on this video. Interesting.

Really Charlamagne tha god, do the math slavery started around 1600 to 1863. that's 263 years of slavery. the next 137 years was your choice. unless you are saying slavery just ended 18 years ago.... 1600 + 400 == 2000....please do . your math...
