Kanye TMZ Live Interview: "When you hear about slavery for 400 years. ... That sounds like a choice"
- Thread starter Senator Toadstool
- Start date
This is the equivalent of "Trump's playing 8-D chess."
Kanye is a guileless moron. This isn't some elaborate put-on. You're naïve to think it is.
Well if Kanye's ultimate goal was to make sure that I'd have zero interest in hearing any of his new music then mission accomplished.
I'm sure he likes all of those new alt-right fans though...
I'
I've never said that he is free from criticism. I'm saying at least wait for the album before jumping to conclusions. I've never claimed that he's not a jackass, or an asshole.
I wrote an article many years ago about the same thing for my college newspaper, directly after the Obama jackass comment. This all fits in with his persona, and close companions. He IS an idiot, a jackass, a self-obsessed moron. But, he can also be very poignant in referencing the public persona through his music.
Have you guys seen the Runaway movie?
But sure, you do you and wrap yourself in the current moment. I'll wait for the album and judge the entire scenario for myself.

Why wait for the album when his actions as they are have already done damage and can be judged on their own merits? What fucking sense does it make to "wait for the album"? The shit he's done is done, period. The milk is spilled.
Watch him decline this but take up Trump on his "race summit".
I'm not going to wait for all the facts when someone says slavery was a choice. You can be a buck dancing Republican without shitting on slaves.
Oh you're so wise and far-seeing, college journalist. Who gives a shit what is on his album? You think this is some kind of troll act? "Poignant in referencing the public persona" is a string of vague and empty buzzwords pretending to be a thought.
You shit is bad when the motherland is reaching out to save you
Who gives a fuck about the album if this is how he's selling it? Seriously you can listen to the album and love it but don't try and act like that somehow justifies his behavior and comments in this case. I don't give a shit if its the hottest fire ever to leave his mouth, it doesn't make up for him parading this horrible rhetoric for the worst kind of people in America. He's the definition of a sell out if this all to hype up an album.
Ahh, so you truly only care about status on a forum instead of the topic and person at hand.
You don't seem to care about the person at hand as you're cool with letting him off the hook for pandering to white supremacists and the alt right because his album might be good.
Uh, it's you putting on this lame above-it-all pose, not me. If you like Kanye so much you want to give him the benefit of the doubt, just say so, instead of acting like you're just so superior to everyone who has an opinion on his latest bout of idiocy before they hear his dumb album.
That wont get him the same level of press it would having him in the white house. It aint about him learning shit, its about self-promotion even at what seems to be any cost.
LOL... can't wait for "They're chaining up the slaves to protect them"
Serious shit
Like a fuckin album is gonna change all the nonsense he's be sproutin the last 2 weeks
Shit is legit ridiculous
Please save us the bullshit enlightenment. If you want to fuck with Kanye, keep supporting his nonsense. we cannot stop you from supporting foolish man.
They won't answer because they know their defense is bullshit. No fucking album is going to convince anyone that this appeal to the alt right was worthwhile. Lastflowers wants us to just forgive Kanye on evidence we don't have. They want us to believe that there's no such thing as a "provocateur" having actual solid opinions and views and everything is always about sales and promotion (as though that means that damaging views and rhetoric are somehow no longer damaging)
User Has Been Banned (3d): Personal attacks despite previous warnings.
case in point. I'm not superior, I merely know more about this topic than you do and have laid it out. Feel free to live in your own ignorance if you wish.
I hate to break it to yall but people are still gonna buy the new Kanye album regardless.
KanyeStan-ism is a serious problem.

This is so lazy. There are child molesters with rigid opinions on age of consent. There are bigots with rigid opinions on genocide. There are men's rights activists with rigid opinions on rape. Respect should come from the content of a view and not just that a person has one that doesn't change. And there's value in having an informed opinion, admitting a wrong mindset and changing your views when they don't stand up to scrutiny.
Ok but that easily slips into 'obstinate deafness to any and all criticism', as in this case, which is less than commendable when people are literally pleading with you to understand the damage you're doing. (and sadly not rare in the least)
So if someone express publicly that you should die a horrible death by their hands, and they didn't back down from it, you would be okay with that?
Sure you would, pal.
I regret to inform you that self-satisfied speculative wankery is not knowledge.
Don't have to be mutually exclusive. Never claimed he wasn't.
Plugging your ears and ignoring people and evidence isn't what I would call commendable as it's certainly easier than challenging your own world view.
One's dedication to bullshit is not a metric I personally would base respect on.
Being hard-headed isn't a virtue.
That's not even remotely rare and the inability to reshape your views through change and experience is nothing to be proud of.
the piece of shit using all of this to sell a motherfucking album would make him look worse, not better.
Easy tigers, I didn't agree or disagree - I simply said I personally respect Kayne West for not backing down in his beliefs.
I never said anything about what youre all dreaming up I'm talking about.
You respect an idiot with idiot beliefs.

I don't respect you.
And we're asking why you'd respect someone for spouting bullshit. Like I said, if someone thinks the age of consent should start at six years old and "doesn't back down", that's not worthy of respect. You should ask yourself if it still is. You might say they're not the same but I'd say that Kanye's rhetoric and beliefs about Trump and slavery aren't harmless.

it's not that rare when the president and all his lackeys do the same thing
Nah I think it's the fact that you said you respect someone doubling down on their uninformed opinions.

There's no respect to be had in that. I would respsre Kanye if he said he was wrong and did some research on the subject.
Good night fellow humans, life is wayyyy too short to sit here arguing for the sake of nothing - peace
