Everyone should be a registered Independent. Democrat vs Republican is divide and conquer mentality but I love this country and want the best for everyone
kanye hasn't even declared for a side, he's trying to see the bigger picture like everyone else should yet people are so quick to demonise him over having a different opinion, like their opinion is so holy and perfect
John Joseph What have democrats done for the black community? It’s all the matrix support your community and stop getting into the traps. Trump never said he disliked black people that’s the sad thing the media and Democratic Party don’t wanna lose the black vote and wake them up. So they turned the black community agiesnt him lol
Phillip Burton absolutely nothing! But telling people they should become a Republican can backfire because of how they have been labeled by the mainstream media and entertainment industry. I have been an Independent since I turned 18...in 1993
He's just crazy, look who hes surrounded himself by, kardashians some of the scummiest and brainless people in the world, they're all piece of shits, so what does that say about Kanye? No way would have people have thought he would marry kim kardashian but he's literally become a lot of the stuff he condemned in his earlier music career.
Bullshit. The left has a whole lot of problems but the right has historically been at our necks. The right has been the side trying to defund HBCUs, stop Head Start, stop Affirmative Action, stop minority set asides, they have fought for predatory lending, fought for raising taxes on the poor and middle class, they fight against raising minimum wage, they fight against paying people for overtime, they fought against school desegregation.... You can’t name a time when the right has been for ANYTHING on our side? Don’t bring up how Republicans freed slaves or anything before 1965. Don’t bring up Republicans and those actions that happened when they had a powerful and vocal left leaning liberal wing in the party. I’m not talking political party. I’m talking the right vs the left.
Collectivism is a part of healthy human nature. Collectivism allows there to be an America, Americans, a military, and patriotism. What's important is balance. Healthy collectivism is what is needed over historically bad collectivism (like race or forms of religious extremism).
dannyg - ak only important to the lils and his opinion isn’t taken seriously by anybody but some of the internet goofies that grew up on trolling and RU-vid
dannyg Ak is a internet baby who talks shit online and acts like a savage online but then is a bitch irl, he is bias asf when it comes to 6ix9ine, AK is trash bro
Anyone With A Functioning Brain Who Has A Bare Minimum Moral Compass Can Look At The Republican Party And Said They're Mess Up But I'm Not Saying That The Democrats Are Good Neither
The dude never abandoned group think he just joined your group a people who think that simply because they're thinking different that somehow makes them.
I'm sorry but Kanye is right (Honestly when isn't he). He said he likes THE WAY she thinks; nothing mentioned about WHAT she thinks. The current political climate has people believing that politics is binary; you either agree with everything the typical republican thinks or the same for the democrats; the reality is it's a spectrum. I'm from the UK and I have a cousin who aligns very strongly with republican views (he's pretty extreme in everything he thinks and isn't open to being wrong which is a nightmare to deal with sometimes), and he gets mad every time someone grills him for being a gun lover. The culture is different here so as right wing as he is, he is completely anti guns. The irony is that as much as he hates being boxed in, he is literally the first person to put all liberals in the same box. What this environment has created is knee-jerk responses to anything that appears to align with what we disagree with, and due to biased media (on all sides), people are primed into seeing the worst of the opposite side; hence such a strong reaction to an ambiguous tweet from Kanye. I doubt it was tweeted at the time of recording this, but Ye made it clear on twitter that he does not agree with everything trump does (the only person he 100% agrees with is himself); this should honesty have been assumed but like I said people hold Trump to the worst of his mistakes so they don't care to understand why Kanye would make a statement like that. Honestly nothing Kanye has said actually contradicts what he was known for saying in the past. If it isn't clear yet, he endorsed these people because they are free thinkers who break the mould of conventional society. Conventional society's 'group think' and 'thought policing' are the reason frustrations boiled over to this tipping point in the first place and he thinks we need to move away from that; he's correct.
Young_Raymond well, "I like the way you think" lol it's disheartening to read social media bc it appears like everyone is happily in the matrix. Glad to see you took the red pill.
If there’s one thing Kanye has taught over time, it’s to think for yourself. If you’re still reading/looking for guidance from his tweets in 2018, he’s either failed or you didn’t get the message.
Who would look at Kanye for guidance!? Lmfaoo people are amused at his foolishness and his self-absorbed character. No one looks toward Kanye for guidance.
I remember when 'Bound' came out. Kanye said he wanted to do to them what they did to us. Blackwash their entire culture, till their kids wanted to be like him, the way our youth wanted to be like them.
asherley5 it's not a coincidence every man's career who dates a Kardashian goes downhill like crazy. Tristan Thompson and Kanye are the latest proof of this. These are just the facts but you right he should've known better
I'm Dirty Dan Nah they are stepping their production game up. As they should. Their audience is growing. Content here is awesome too... In terms of music business and just business.
He had always been a free thinker he stopped hip hop from being thugs the whole reason you can be yourself in hip hop again is because he always did him
He’s a bundle of contradiction...he acts like a kardashian...he claims to be the greatest rockstar on the planet...he’s a better producer than rapper and most of all...I can’t take him seriously. He makes great music and we should leave it at that. I think what ppl need to take into account and realize and acknowledge and understand is....just cuz you’re an entertainer doesn’t mean you can dabble in politics. So...yeah. That’s that
I think you missed the point you can speak but you're not even intelligent enough to know that your choices are already laid out for you and not you personally just the population in general
Larren Green You can think and say what you want, you just have to be ready for the consequences. Such as me not listening to his music from here on out. I'm not supporting anyone who supports the extermination of our people using our own culture. Or the extermination of any people. ESPECIALLY if he is one of us. What you do with your money is your choice, just be ready for the consequence. People might think you're a sell out or an uncle Tom. People may think that you support those who don't support you or your family. But if that's how you rocking, do you.
Honestly if any of y’all bothered for once to think for yourself and do a little research - instead of just blindly believing everything you hear on social media, you would understand how brainwashed you are. One day you’re going to realize how wrong you are and will be sorry for the consequences caused by your spreading of uninformed disinformation. I say that with love. See you on the other side. ✌️
"free press" which only shows the bad side of Trump, which is mostly things he said. And never covers the good side of Trump which is lowest black unemployment. But sure call it free press.
Somebody needs to get aggressive with Kanye. Where is the dude who said on national tv “George Bush don’t care about black people”, where is that nigga🤷🏽♀️
Joe starts with that group think "if ya don't feel how i feel about Kanye then I'm going to get aggressive" that's the problem with group think. And why the group gets made when someone thinks for themselves.
wazdozz some of these same people that call Trump a racist etc, were some of the same people that rocked with him before he ran for Pres. Your an idiot if you believe everything you read by the liberal media. And your spouting rhetoric not truth or facts...go read
KungFuKennyTDE and most importantly the groups record label won’t support their completed album, which in large part is why the group stopped rapping as a group
I dont mind having different views from another black man, if one wants to be either Democrat or Republican let him be but one thing you have to remember is that you're Black before anything else. Never forget that you cant blend in just because you are a conservative
nws void you realize up until the 60s Republicans were left leaning and democrats right leaning meaning those are conservatives your talking about not today's democrats
That's because people wanted a simple solution his election. Trump=bad, Hillary=good. A well respected rapper exposing that it's not that easy fucks with their worldview. I don't especially care for kanye's music, but the dude is undeniably talented. What's also undeniable is that in hollywood. it's harder to come out and support he guy everyone in the industry hates, than it is to support the not-so-secretly racist candidate everyone sold out for. Kanye is risking his career for someone he thinks (wrongly, in my opinion) will help the country and I've got to respect that.
Bucks Bunnee everybody thinks for themselves. That statement is bullshit. Group think can be seem as a problem tho. And Candace group thinks just as much as anyone else. She is just repeating Conservative Talking Points. She isn't saying anything new. But the thing is, group think is human nature. Its going to take more than a couple tweets from an ignorant, loudmouth, asshole who is doing nothing to solve actual problems.
obviously yall dont know what charlamagne knows or what they talked about. WAIT FOR THE MUSIC BEFORE YOU ALL LOOK LIKE FOOLS..JUS WAIT ON IT AND YALL WILL FEEL STUPID. YOURE OUT OF THE LOOP JOE.
I hate when things are lumped into a box like, it's either you're this or that. Alot of folk have forgotten nuance these days. Be safe out there people.
No I don't believe in identity politics. I think every individual should choose what ideals and politics suit them based on their research and values. But from what I've been hearing, from this show and other outlets is that its self evident to not support Trump, or conservatives like Candace Owens especially if your black. But never specifically stating why. Sure the drum beat is he's racist, homophobic ect. But these people who criticize Yeezy for big uping Trump don't site any specific policy or behavior that would make him denounce his support of the President. Record lows in Black and Latino unemployment could be one good reason to side with 45 tho
Takanami No. You are being condescending and rude. Your initial statement can be used for both Parties, and their online, over-enthusiastic, mainly Politically illiterate crowds. (Politics on Social Media tends to be about Group Think, whilst accusing the other side of being Sheep!) The contradictions are comedic.
I first noticed it back on the Yeezus tour when he started selling merch with the Confederate flag on it. I never thought it would turn into this though. Ye has lost his way man. He literally changed the way I listen to music, and now he's doing this. Never in my life would I want to get Ye tf out of here. Also, Ebro's conversation about him was enlightening as well. It really sounds like he's doing all this for sales. I personally just can't give him a pass.
Static the Noob lol that confederate flag thing was NOT meant like you’re making it out to be. He was making a statement about taking racist imagery and stripping it of its power by owning that shit. He was re-contexualizing the fog to make it powerless and to EMPOWER black people. And his new revelation and way of thinking is also aimed at helping black people out of some mental chains. Everything he’s doing and has been doing forever is to open black peoples minds to different ways of thinking about everything but now he’s black peoples number 1 enemy? I think a lot of people just need to wait and they’ll get it later. Kanye’s way ahead of everyone that’s shitting on him right now
He took the tekashi approach. He saw it worked for sixnine. The most hated...sells the most and is most trending. Kanye aligned himself with the most hated person in America. Donald trump. So it's not a co incidence that he has multiple albums coming out. Marketing at its best. Y'all think he's crazy. He is. Crazy genius. You are all falling for it including me by commenting here. Money ain't the root of all evil anymore. It's attention. Carry on.
Kanye claims to be a”free thinker”but Im almost certain that’s how the Kardashian’s think about black people. Given that logic they convinced Kanye he’s not black he’s “different”.People are struggling wake up before they storm your castle
Thanks for sending me to Charlemagne, actually Kanye has been speaking out just don't have representation. Dad black panther, mom English teacher, free thinker is the life.
Man, just having a different point of view doesn't mean your not for black people and a sellout. Maybe he sees something different and the ways that have been tried are futile and ineffective in the communities that need improvement the most
exactly. i just found out that us as black people thrive about being ourselves but really are a copy of each other, the when someone comes with a different perspective we demonize them when thy're doing exactly what we're fighting for, which is freedom of everything
Shaun White Regardless of how dope his music is on the next album we done with Kanye aint buying his shit he's over with . Y'all using dope music if he even has it on the next album to forgive him for his latest antics fuck that
The question is Not whether Blacks can be a Republican, but whether Black Republicans are against Trump and other stupid shyt. Stand by the truth regardless of political party. Kayne was and is on some BS.
I'm sick of this group think shit. Every black person is not the same. Every black person doesn't have the same beliefs. We always want to get together to tell someone he's wrong for not thinking like we do. If Kanye thought like everybody else he wouldn't be where he is now. We are the only culture of people who allows one person to ruin or represent us. I'm not a follower, Kanye doesn't represent me. He's entitled to his political beliefs and opinions. More people should have the heart to think for themselves.
ManicMeeks on what....it's like watching Friday after u grown now to see. Or listing back to get rich or die trying...... honestly we all shud go back once we realize weve grown to see if it still relates
Micheal Smith The new buzz words "free thinker and group think" what happened to red pill and blue pill lol. Me thinks you're apart of "group think" and just don't know it.
Hinds15 point is free thinker and group think arent terms of the moment. But terms based on concepts that have always existed. Jesus was considered a free thinker in His time because intellectually he was fringe. These aren’t “buzzwords”.
Much respect to Joe for this someone has to call this guy outs he gets way too many passes and his music hasn't really been great in years can't support him on this and he has a lot of yes men around him. Mal was on point to
You realize it's in the governments interest to keep us divided.Kanye is never understood in the present tense.Just like jay said "financial freedom my only hope" kanye is saying you could be where I'm at if you be bold enough to follow your own path always. I'm not even a stan just saying & is it bad to do a promo run? The only time he wants to talk is when he just created something and then he hides and creates again 🤷🏽♀️
Kanye is a desperate man. When you are happy within and fulfilled at home you never go to that level of desperation. This is the kanye that called Lil boy bush by what he was a racist and now has embraced someone worst then bush even bush think Trump is bad and that's really bad.
What's the difference between the Eminem bet freestyle and whatever political views Kanye has? Oh it's just a different from your Viewpoint so therefore it's wrong? Come on with the hypocrisy . I'm a little lost on the topic I don't really know what y'all are talking about fully but I don't see a difference other than a difference in opinion and viewpoint except one person told me we're all individuals and allowed to have our own opinion and the other told me cuz I don't believe in what he believed to draw a line in the sand and not be a fan. But hey maybe it's just me focused on the content of character and not the political party nor skin pigment.
I agree that “white People” aren’t the problem but government is... if you look at the data the issues that are economically wrong with black communities only government can fix.. and it has fixed it for white communities and others for them to be where they are. Education funding, quality food and clean water supply, good sewer systems, housing, access to wealth etc all of that is worse in black communities and better in white because government provides for them and it is written that they shouldnt provide it for blacks the same way.. Granted we can help ourselves to an extent on an individual level by getting degrees and getting high paying jobs but there are stats that show blacks make less with degrees than high school drop out whites.. it’s a design change needed.. but as a collective government needs to step in Conservative vs Democrat.. I could careless because I agree with things from both sides
Dorian Grey I understand your perspective and I agree, however we have also done the Do for self method and government allowed it to be destroyed i.e Black Wall Street. Are the people in flint suppose to fix their own water system? There are communities in the south that have feces in the back yard because the sewer system is trash is that not government’s responsibility? As tax paying people that’s basic necessities that aren’t being provided. Again to an extent we can help ourselves, but there are collective problems that government has to handle.
QUEENDOM I’m not a “dude” and I know all that.. black failure keeps the lights on in America but it doesn’t change the facts that they need to provide for the American people basic things.. there are people living third world realities in a first world country.. that should’ve be the case for the descendants of the people who built this thing.. not to mention it came out that slavery was still happening in the 60s.. they fucking owe.
If Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber or Ed have said the exact same thing as kanye... All black ppl and their mamas would declare war on them. But kanye gets a pass, why u might ask? Cuz he's black and his music is alright. Double standards!
