isnt akon african? didnt his boys help put my ancestors on slave ships? stay outta black folk business
Tf is this take
Lmao what are you talking about. Kanye literally got the president to enact the first real prison reform law in this country’s history. IN THE COUNTRY’S HISTORY. Like 1776-2020 there has NEVER been better prison reform policy whattt
f*** outta here nigga thats some bullshit. trump isnt any less racist just cause one nigga got out of jail. if anything that was just an act to get black people on his side. kanye is not for the people and trump is definitely not for the people
I’m talking about Akon’s statement jfc I don’t even know you idc what your opinion is lol I just wanted to clarify what I said
There is nothing coonish about saying we should move on past slavery. Yall gotta stop equating the word coon with disagreeing with someone it’s actually so gross
No wonder I never liked this guy. His music always sucked to me and this view sucks beyond anything else. F*** off Akon.
Just let go of an event that still has impacts on black people dude
No worse than Ye with this take
200 years of it at that

Alright we can just agree to disagree then bruh it ain’t that deep

Kanye going in our history books forsure
makes me even more pissed off that kanye was coming from such an non genuine place when me made songs like new slaves. literally the only thing he gave a f*** about was his fashion deals. hes a billionaire, unless s*** actually changes in chicago hes straight up a b**** in my eyes
I think you’re making pretty big assumptions here but I respect your position on Chicago relating to Ye for sure
Alright we can just agree to disagree then bruh it ain’t that deep
Absolutely my brother. All I’m saying is if you keep calling other brothers coons because they fundamentally disagree with you on something of this magnitude, we are never getting anywhere as a people. If we can’t even peacefully discuss with each other how do we expect the White man to discuss with us?
Idk maybe im going too deep into it again but I’m pretty sick and tired of being accused of hating my own skin, my mother’s skin, and my own people, just cuz I be having a different opinion.

I feel you but on the surface this is a terrible quote whether it’s taken out of context or not. I do agree that waiting on something to happen in America that will “undo” the impact slavery had will be nothing but wasted time, so I’m out here to tying to get mine with the circumstances that are handed to me. I don’t know if that’s what his point was, but to word it like that was a terrible choice of phrase

Attacking character Instead of attacking the ideology is just not helpful imo

Oh my god where do I begin I don’t even wanna type all of this
Alright here we go.
1. It’s not just one Black person. It’s over 3,000 Black inmates facing wild long sentences for non violent crimes.
2. Literally THAT IS YOUR JOB AS A POLITICIAN. This s*** gets me SO heated. The fact that we are so f***ing cucked to the Democrats as a race, that we actually oppose Trump’s prison reform and dismiss it as him “just trying to get Black votes” meanwhile the Democrats do NOTHING except you know write the 94 Crime Bill, pass the 94 Crime Bill, and protect the 94 Crime Bill. But yeah why the f*** would we vote for someone doing something for our votes? Everyone knows you vote for the party that does nothing for your vote and just expects it and tells you you aren’t Black if you don’t vote for them.
3. Kanye West is 100000% for the people if he wasn’t he wouldn’t be spending millions of his own dollars in innovative homeless shelters. In innovative home and classroom designs. I don’t get how you can follow Kanye for the past 2 years and actually convince yourself that he’s just some greedy f*** who wants to sell you the most expensive s***. That’s why he partnered with GAP right? That’s why he’s manufacturing his clothing line here in America paying American wages right?
4. Neither Trump or Biden are for the people. They are there to serve themselves and the people who put them in office. If you really think that you are casting a vote “for the people” this November by voting for Biden, no wonder you actually believe all this bullshit about Kanye lmao. You’ve been got. I hope that is not what you think though and you are simply gonna choose who you think is the less evil of the 2.

100% agreed. It’s good that this brings out the emotions in people because it shows they care, but sometimes I find myself having to step back and refocus because it turns into a yelling match with not much listening or learning. Never anything personal ktt fam
slavery is pretty much the foundation of anti-black racism in america and we haven't even received reparations for it, how the f*** are we supposed to move on from that

Great Vibes
Wish more people had the ability to be rational like this

Yeah. I think I was so angry at your post because you made it seem like Black men ought to just stay silent for the sake of our own peace. Like in general. I didn’t realize you were talking specifically about comments related to slavery and moving on from it like it’s nothing.
I will try to be less aggressive and assumptive and more inquisitive when replying to posts I feel I disagree with 🙏🏽

imagine us getting reparations in 2020 or sometime in the near future and actually using that money collectively to put black people in charge of more businesses and politics. white peoples heads would explode
We’re still in the Middle East fighting
So no
Y’all gotta make everything a blanket dumbass political statement

The amount of times KTT’s made my blood boil. Never again we only hosting productive discourse here ammirite

On top of Jim Crow and Red Lining
Whites be swearing there’s no effects of systemic racism when we’re barely like the 3rd generation to have equal rights and if you wanna be real it’s more like the 2nd
