Chile, Kanye West done took his ass down to da TMZ and upset the United States of the World with his idiotic remarks about 400 years of slavery being a choice. Somebody pray for this man! Here are my thoughts
we did all we could for kanye, we purchased his clothes, his shoes, his music, we listened to him rant at his concerts when he should have been singing and supported him through his twitter meltdowns, but its all become too much and we have had enough, the time has come to turn him over to his new neo nazi family, he is their problem now.
Olivia Ingram I guess he forgot his rant about George Bush whose doctrine and legislation pales in comparison to his "guy, Donald Trump"! Someone remind Ye that his children are included in that 1/10th rule so they won't have to discover like Tiger Woods that Caublasian to white America means BLACK at the end of the day!
I haven't like him since he jumped on stage interrupting Taylor Swift acceptance speech. Bad enough his dumbass supporting Trump, after all of the racist things that he has said.
The thing Kanye doesn’t realize is that racism is systematic ! Even if we would’ve rose up and over threw the plantation. Then what ? We didn’t have birth certificates. He doesn’t understand what it’s like for us black folks because the worst of his worries is some fashion designers won’t work with him. We are DYING out here and people are getting away with it. I’m done with his ass no way
Chan Smith Haiti over ran whites and until this day the country is still poor bc the economic white system has always diminished black up rising. You think black people wanted that and accepted that. It’s one thing to accept and allow and one thing to accept to live and protect your families. We fought bc OUR ancestors made it bc IM HERE, somebody was smart
I was just about to bring up Haiti. Native Americans were from this country knew the lay of the land and its resources yet in still were slain, robbed, and culture ridiculed. I guess that was their choice too. Kanyes mind ain't right because there's a legacy of slavery that each of us have wrongly inherited and is undeniable.
The crazy thing about it is we had the numbers but we didn’t have the guns like they did. They would have gotten white folks to come from all over the world to handle that ass.
tamitalks 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽! I wish people would stop minimizing the harshness and brutality slaves suffered AND the circumstances “freed” slaves endured! It was no cake walk when slaves escaped nor when they were freed. Of course Kanye ( and others) can say, “ shoulda woulda coulda, when events have already happened and when youre not in that situation yourself! All he want is attention. He said it himself if he cuts out music and focuses on fashion he will be irrelevant so what does he do, gets with the biggest socialite of the world and gets her to wear his “fashions.” And still...they refer to him as “niggaz” in paris. So who’s really the slave...while he does everything he can to appease the white/french/italian designers who dont wont him😒
Good morning Nessa! Kanye BEEN cancelled after talking all that smack about white people , then married one and then had kids with one. He is LOST and beyond repair. We need to IGNORE him and focus on other things. I LOVE US FOR REAL! Stay Black. Stay Proud. PS: Happy Haitian Heritage Month 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹
+K jai true people keep forgetting that Kris Jenner is white but Kim Khloe Kourtney and rob their father is not white he's Middle Eastern and you can look at Kim and tell her she's not a full white woman she cannot pass as a white woman You Can Tell She's Middle Eastern her and her sisters the only two that are white are Kylie and Kendall the rest of them the older kids are Middle Eastern and Middle Eastern people went to racism and slavery to buy white people look at the Middle East Armenian s*** like that Kim need to stop and put the only way to Kim them tens to be for why is because they look like the benefit of white privilege they live off their mother but they be acting like that father is not middle Eastern until they could benefit off of it and I know when to hear people saying Middle Eastern people are white because they are not and white people never accepted a ass and just like other minorities we all Rachel against each other because why people have to keep minorities divide it cuz of house divide it is a house that cannot Concord and if almond Ortiz can together we will be possible to stop by Supremacy just like at the blacks and Dave Americans have come together a long f****** time ago when I know us will be in a position we is today
Kanye NEEDS more people like Van from TMZ in his life! I can’t quite decide if he’s lost the plot or if it’s the fact that he feels untouchable ! Either way, he needs help !!
He needs a history book. He needs to read. Sadly, he justblives in his Kalabasses bubble of material things and instagram like most of the sheep in this country. He's uneducated. His mental instability is another issue.
John Legend tried to talk to him but u see where that went. Kim really doesnt seem to CARE!! Watch her interview with Ellen. She truly knows hes crazy, but i didnt see any concern! I tell u what tho, he wouldn't be alone with MY KIDS and I WOULDN'T SLEEP IN A ROOM LET ALONE A BED WITH HIM!!
It always bothers me when people casually question our ancestors and reduce what they went through as a mere inconvenience that they could have overcome if they had the willpower. People always say “well it was so many of us and less of them”....and while that may have been true of a particular plantation., we were and still are the minority. So whereas some may have won the battle on a plantation, they would have ultimately lost the war. It’s beyond me that people think that slaves who were tortured and treated as if they were less than animals, didn’t think about breaking free. It just wasn’t feasible. Not that they wanted to remain in that situation, not that they didn’t think for themselves, no that they weren’t free thinkers. They simply did not have the resources needed until people bounded together to create change. But that change doesn’t happen overnight or even in a couple of years. We’re still undergoing that very change.
Speak. There were several revolts. The Underground Railroad. We could go on. The killed slaves and tortured and mutilated them to deter others from trying the same to make an example. They would threaten to hurt everyone else if one person tried to escape. Among other things. Smh. That whole narrative is insulting. And for those did become brainwashed or mentally enslaved in one way or another....if a kidnapped woman is brainwashed....does that mean her captivity is her "choice"?? It's all ridiculous.
Where were the black men? Where were they? Where are they now? Black women have always been ride or die for black men and they have failed us since the beginning of time.
They're unequally yoked, even if you aren't in "the church/ Christian/ religious etc" you KNOW your helpmate is there to catch you when you fall... he has none, nobody
Kayne is using the term “free thinking” to mean critical thinking but he’s not. He has not substance to what he’s saying. I bet he wouldn’t say anything about the Armenian genocide🙄
I am glad someone said it! It is a difference between Critical thinking and free thinking, and free thinking with ignorance is dangerous! Not truly knowing your history and facts to equip your “free thought” puts out more ignorance and causes masses of ppl to have wrong info deeming it “ free thought”
You cannot be a free thinker without having knowledge of the subject at hand. Kanye's has uneducated opinions...highly uninformed and highly bias. .... Throw the whole man away
Callipygian_isis That's what I was thinking. Certain subjects you can't just pop off at the mouth and have it be the gospel truth. You need to do your research and get your thoughts together and try to remain focused.
Callipygian_isis the knowledge bis slavery started in USA 1619. 400 years of slavery is still happening. It's a mental modeen day slavery. He is awake while the ignorant are asleep.
Dinevaaaaa, girl don’t you scare me like that anymore! I haven’t heard from you in a couple of days and I got worried. I called down there to the bar and they wouldn’t let me talk to you! I’m glad you are back!!!
Tanitra Fuller lol!!!! I thought maybe she had jumped in the car with an old rough neck down at the bar and he took her phone!! It’s too much going on she can’t do this to us! 😂🤣🤣
Kanye pissed me OFF when he told Van “ don’t yell it makes us look bad”, while he stood up on his soap box yelling in the middle of the office. THEN when he said “I know you want to fight me”, I was out done! He just threw that angry fighting black man stereo type out there and I was livid. How are you going to be a free thinker but you get lipo because TMZ may call you fat. THE HYPOCRISY!
Kanye should've married someone that can grease in between her scalp with Blue Magic...and had to use Queen Helene cocobutter lotion as a child and got her hair braided on the front porch.
queenie_the_virgo LMAOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...BUT FR THO...I really don't think he'd be able to handle a REAL SISTA...cuz the second he started with all that nonsense she'd throw up her hand ✋ and tell his ass to go take a nap😴...lol...
And another thing, we as a people need to let those who turn their backs on us STAY OVER THERE! We can forgive and forget but we should not take you back because you've proven to be against our best interests. You will do any/everything to get back into their graces and you're a risky liability. STAY OVER THERE!
I'm glad Van stood up and spoke. What I didn't like is when Kanye said for Van to clam down or lower his voice because he didn't want "them" to see "us" (blacks) like this. WTH? There is nothing wrong with anger. Van had every right to. Anger doesn't mean you're going to fight. But what it was Kanye knew he fucked up.
Kim is not strong enough to anchor Kanye. She has to be behind him getting the lipo that got him hooked on opioids, for real for real. She is in his ear about the wrong things.
said the exact same thing. No black man even thinks about Lipo. He was never a sex symbol to begin with. he'll end up committing suicide when she takes all his money after divorcing him
Dineva is very intelligent and articulate. I have to agree with him, what would Dr. Donda West think of these insensitive comments? She would not have gone along with this and, would have checked his ass!
Y'all need to get educated about slavery. SLAVES were broken in at the islands. Slavery was never a choice. If it was that easy to overcome power how come Americans still struggling while the 1 percent eating nice.
What's crazy is the interview Kanye did with Charlamagne tha God was actually good. He talked like he had some sense. But then he get's on TMZ and shows his entire ass. Smh
I understood what Kanye was trying to articulate but what he said was wrong and in poor taste. Kanye doesn’t realize that fear is what caused 400 yrs of slavery. Fear is powerful. I’m sure most of us today feel like it couldn’t have been us but We don’t really know because we weren’t raised in that time. I’m happy Van got him together. Kanye also knows the media doesn’t cover black people doing good in the community. He is confusing free thinking with saying whatever pops in your head at the time.
jill scottman You would have to ask Kanye that question...I really didn’t pay much attention to the amount of time He said. My focus was on that he said it was a choice. According to google there was 246 years of slavery. I would have to research further to confirm that number. My point was slavery lasted so long due to FEAR not choice.
DWFIT I guess Kanye was trying to say fear was their choice. The slaves chose fear instead of fighting back. For example on a plantation there were about 100 slaves and then there’s the master and an overseer. Those slaves could’ve easily fought off 1 master and 1 overseer , but because of fear they chose not to.
It was more than fear. There was a systematic system of physical, mental and emotional abuse. It was strategic war and conquering tactics. The rabbit whole is deep.
Minka Gaston Yes , I agree . Because of the physical , mental , and emotional abuse and etc. The slaves were too afraid to stand up and fight for their lives (Fear). But fear didn’t stop the Haitian slaves . They fought until they were free .
arinic7 Right I understood what he meant. I said that in my comment. But he didn’t express himself the right way. And he is wrong. He knows that some white ppl will run with what he says. To say slavery was a choice or it sounds like a choice was irresponsible as a black influential celebrity. He meant to say what Dineva stated that the mindset of following the herd is what caused slavery to last so long. I don’t think the enslaved choose fear. Fear is an emotion. Everyone reacts to fear differently. I’m sure there were slaves that fought back and were killed or tried to escape. Some did not. At the end of the day Kanye is wrong in my opinion. He knows how media works and is talking out of his ass instead of explaining his ideals properly. Making reckless statements is not free thinking. I consider myself a free thinker. I don’t jump on every bandwagon. I get the facts and come to my own conclusions. I enjoyed reading everyone’s thoughts on the matter. Enjoy the rest of your day everyone.
Q is back!!!!!! Donda was a very educated and intelligent black woman. She was highly regarded in the Black academic community in Chicago. I wanna know where Farrakhan is at. Kanye comes to Chicago 2 visit with him occasionally.
Farrakhan is old...at this point he just wants to be remembered...wants to make sure he has a legacy. Nothing about Kanye ....and Farrakhan together makes sense. So,please.
I'm officially done with Kanye!! This shit that Kanye is going thru ain't got nothing to do with no damn kardashians, this got everything to do with his mama being gone. That car accident that almost took his life, that procedure that killed his mother, all that mixed with addiction and mental illness is the cause for all this..Kanye is hurt. Its so sad and tragic to watch
Keosha Gibson its that and more. Drugs are a form of witchcraft.he us under a spell. Add arrogance and a god complex to that.drugs and arrogance and a God complex can lead to many things. Since he is god in his eyes and under the influence of drugs, what would happen if he confidantly decides that some people dont deserve to live? What will he do? Remember. Kanye is a god with all wisdom in his eyes
The black man is the topic of the land. Last week, it was Bill Cosby. This week, it’s Kanye West. So, I suppose next week it’ll be R.Kelly. I’m so tired of hearing about the destruction of our black man. Kudos for mentioning how KK isn’t getting on Kanye’s ass. It’s funny how white women talk about femininity but when it comes to black people, they run away from it. It tells me that they’re white first and a feminist second.
KK had the nerve to say that she doesn't share Kanye's opinions politically, yet she must have a very short memory. Right before the election she started to show support for Trump after having a conversation with Caitlyn Jenner.
Annah Smith okay but if you got white men like Charlie Sheen, the dude from 7th heaven and Woody Allen that is doing the same shit but you haven’t heard boo about them. Not excusing for what BC, RK has done but I’m tried of the black man under the microscope.
shawtypooh80 jerry sandusky.... Andrew luster... Y'all need to stop saying that but white people... who tf cares. Woody Allen was only accused once. It was investigated and dismissed. That 7th heaven dude.... statute of limitations. Idgaf who is under the microscope THEY ALL NEED TO GO.
Annah Smith and what jail time did they do? I’ll wait. We can agree to disagree. For the record, I’m not saying that they should be given a slap on the wrist but what I am saying is: when a black person does something, it makes world headlines. That’s all. You’re right they all need to go; it’s just the black man is always the one who’s scrutinized.
I feel like he is having another nervous break down, I believe he believes everything he says. I have a few people in my family that suffer from mental illness and that’s the problem they get so caught up in their heads and feelings and THEY KNOW everything they are saying is right and we are all the fools. I feel sorry for his kids because if we see this side of him in the media imagine what goes on at home, I know because I grew up with a mentally ill mother and it was nothing nice.
Van Lathan broke it down to Kanye so eloquently! I just hope some of his words truly got through to Kanye! Thank you Q for bringing up the question..”where is his wife”?? Girl get off of social media and go be that man’s “help mate”!!!! She too busy promoting her new perfume and makeup while her husband is out here “running wild”! I will keep him in my prayers..he is clearly going through something deep! 😔 I don’t even think he believes all the things that are spewing out of his mouth!!!
Yes yes yes yes! He needs some real support real family them Kardashians ain't where it's at PERIOD. And they come for our black men and the black men fall for it. Black women create black men no other woman can do that we are all black men need (with GOD 1st) to get through I don't care what nobody say no one can take care of something I created like me.
This is way MONEY AND FAME DO TO BLACKS WHO FORGET WHERE THEY CAME FROM SELF HATE !!!! KANYE MARRIED OUTSIDE HIS RACE AND WAS AROUND MONEY AND ID BEING TOLERATED FOR HIS MELANIN... KIM DOES NOT RELATE TO THE BLAC EXP AT ALL....
U can be very intelligent and graduate from a university but that DOES NOT mean u can get a career that u love and make loads of money. Kanye is part of that " pull urself up from the bootstraps" club. He says if i can do it, u can too-which is what rich white people always say.
I agree with what you and lovelyti has been saying. Let your dollar talk for you. DO NOT BUY KANYE’S MUSIC and/or HIS CLOTHING PRODUCTS. Collectively we need to be very clear, that if you turn your back EVEN FOR A MOMENT on Black people we will forever turn our back on you. #PowerToThePeople ✊🏾IG:ForeverrCocoChenel
I am concerned for Kanye's children....this man is on the edge and I see horrible things happening...GOD plz protect those babies cause this man is about to SNAP!!! Kim is too busy taking naked selfies....
Kanye mother was a professor and his father was a black panther. Do y'all really think he's uneducated on black history. He definitely knows about Slave rebellions ! All he is doing is saying things for shock value.
Let's not forget the fear that slave masters engrained in slaves. If you tried to escape, you were more than likely caught, maimed, or murdered. We also need to remember that there were laws that kept slaved enslaved during slavery and post slavery. So, please think FD before you say things like you understand what Kanye meant.
That's precisely why he didn't marry a sister, because she would have protected and grinded for him like that. Brothers like Kanye don't want a true Queen because he lacks truth and light within his own soul. I pulled the plug on Kanye when he disrupted that white girl's speech during the Grammy. That was disrespectful in a way that is unacceptable.
Doesn’t Kanye have a dad? Where is his grandmother or elders in his family? His wife seems to be an enabler she is not a leader. Adidas is not dropping Kanye even after the slavery comments 🤦🏽♀️
Dineva I agree with you 100% about Kanye needs a sister. His wife is not the support system that will check his foolishness. I'm so disappointed with Kanye I will never support him. Great commentary Dineva!
Agreed that if he was married to a Queen we wouldn’t be having this conversation. He has been led astray -VOLUNTARILY- as I believe that he was raised to do and know better!
He can walk around all day long with a MACA hat on, but to say what he said about slavery, it's a wrap, I'm done, been done actually! I agree about Kim. Plus she about to drop him. All of this is enough ammunition to leave.
Boo... not Donde doing the TOOTSIE ROLL in her grave!😭😭😭😭 Plz address Wendy Wms calling an audience member BLACKIE without any hesitation on national tv
Corinthiansfirst when I saw that I couldn’t believe she said that bs ... that was wrong on all levels . I was like did Call her blackie ... I would’ve cursed her out all on national tv
I am a new subscriber and I know this video is older, but I just wanted to let you know that I LOVE you!!! Straight to the point, all issues addressed, just awesome!!
Great thoughts and I agreed with most of the video. The only exception would be the statement you and others have voiced about them choosing to remain enslaved though Black people had numbers on their side. I believe our generation lacks true empathy and cannot fully put themselves in the shoes of our ancestors. If we could, we’d realize the shackles of the mind are no different than the shackles on our ankles and wrist. The mental conditioning that took place was forced on a group of people in a foreign land who could not speak the language and were killed for even trying to figure out where the hell they were in the world and what was going on around them. Also, you’re talking about generations of people with no education, no idea of how large the world is, have seen those that looked like them beat, raped, murdered, used on breeding farms, etc. Literally, where do you go after the revolt? You can’t work, you’re likely to die without even making it out of town first, your family could be hurt or killed in retaliation, had no power and no civil rights. The issue is young people today use current, first world thinking to place judgements on our ancestors and, unfortunately, the further removed we become from slavery the worse it will be. This is why I read and re-read about African American history because I never want to lose the level of empathy I have now for those who came before me. ✌🏾
DAMN IT I been waiting for this!😆 Dineva/Q/Quentin I know you about to gives all of you on this one. Two words. Album Sales. Two more. shock value. He haven't been the same since his mom died.
Everyone likes “freethinking”. Who would object to free thought? But 10 times out of 9 the people who are the loudest about how “free” their thought is are the ones spewing the most nonsensical bullshit. What’s the value of free thought if what you’re thinking is ahistorical, morally bankrupt, factually incorrect, and all around ignorant of the reality of black life in America? You asked who’s hanging around Kanye, but I guess something that got lost in the sauce is that Kanye West was there at TMZ with noted “freethinking” right wing Uncle Tomasita Candace Owens. He’s also been spotted with Charlie Kirk, head of Turning Point USA, a right wing advocacy group. He’s surrounding himself with de facto white supremacists and far right wing conservatives and that’s who he’s getting these ideas from. It’s kinda like Donald Trump; Kanye adopts the politics of the last person he talked to. That’s what’s so dangerous about what Kanye is saying. He’s not just an icon for blacks, a huge portion of his fan base also consists of young white men. It’s different than a Lauryn Hill or whoever saying something dumb because Kanye’s got cross cultural appeal. And the alt right knows that you don’t have to debate to bring people over to your side. You just plant a seed of confusion or doubt that you can nurture when young people see Kanye with pseudo intellectuals like Owens or Kirk and start watching their RU-vid videos. And the Very Online right wing provocateurs are absolutely loving this. They actively seek out outright right wing or otherwise confused blacks to further their ideological agenda. There’s a concept in political science called the “Overton window” that refers to the range of ideas that are acceptable to discuss in public. Since overt racism is now taboo in public, the far right wants to shift the Overton window back to the right so that it would again be acceptable to question the existence of racism or assert that blacks are violent or unintelligent by choice or nature. Although with the rise of the alt right white supremacist ideas have become more mainstream (partially due to irresponsible media coverage), who could be a better salesman for white supremacy than a rich, successful black man? You get to hoodwink blacks and other minorities into supporting right wing ideas and policies and also you can fight off accusations of racism. It can’t be racist because look the negro said it himself!
☕️🥄☕️🥄 and why are people under this post, a post like this talking about some damn LOVE AND HIPHOP OR HOUSEWIVES REVIEW?! Jesus. You are right on point this a.m.
Can we just acknowledge the fact that being a free-thinker doesn't mean just going against the majority just to be a contrarian. Free-thinking is having the courage, imagination, intellect and ability to systematically challenge and organize thoughts that examine ideas, behavior and any other thing on this earth (and beyond) that are unpopular, undiscovered or that don't currently exist. This definition of free-thinking isn't all inclusive either as there's so much more that I could say and want to say. This situation with Kanye doesn't fit the bill of him just practicing the idea free-thinking. Kanye is so lost and confused and I do actually believe he has mental health issues.
