Oct 27, 2022I think he’s stupid. Sometimes extremely stupid. And also sometimes very ignorant. Sick too.
But I do not think he is hateful. There is a good man somewhere inside of him that has been obscured by all kinds of nonsense and sickness.

DZEThis the most “I’ve reached junior year of college” post oat
nah it's sophomoric if anything
Nort 💫Oct 27, 2022·1 replyI think he is both autistic and bipolar, and contrarian to the point of delusion.

autism speaks
Oct 27, 2022I mean.....90% of the modern world is ran by white men. It's unacceptable. I think how he's saying things is wrong, but the idea is true. Things need to change. I have no empathy for the 90% that runs everything.

Palestinian OoziLook man, it’s definitely a stereotype and can be dangerous. Especially with a flawed messenger like Kanye who will wing this sort of delicate topic and won’t ground it beyond momentary emotions.
However, there is a discussion to be had as to why this stigma exists within hip hop (it’s not because they are reading Mein Kampf) and what historical context there is post Holocaust fallout and relations between the two communities. I mean this has been a talking point for a long time. James Baldwin, MLK, Malcolm X, MJ, Prince, historic eastcoast Jazz and Comedy Clubs, the inception of Chess Records (there’s two perspectives on it to be fair), little opportunity for Jewish people in WASP circles around WW2 and beyond, etc.) and if there can be any acknowledgment of context at the very least. I think solely saying it’s inspired by Nazi propaganda is a whitewashing of it personally. I think there has to be more nuance for there to be a constructive conversation about this. And unfortunately Kanye is the worst lightning rod for it.
very good post
Oct 27, 2022he's just forcefully stupid
the sort of person that's never hit a legitimately rock bottom and felt that defeat in your soul that forced you to find a deeper inner happiness. instead he gets fuel from the attention and success he gets, and rather than searching and finding that inner comfort he gets it from being acting revolutionary by voicing really dumb opinions and having weird behavior
but because he's always had clout and control the people around him just enable him up until the point where their association with him hurts them enough to where they have to call it quits
dude needs to find something deeper because whether or not he's legitimately hateful isn't the question, its that he's doing s*** that is obviously causing harm and disrespect to himself, the people around him, and the minority he's picking on
he doesn't believe in anything other than himself if you look at it

big white washing. The continued notion that people haven't heard these ideas from black people before is telling. Not the hatred I am referring to but the sense of jealousy that permeates throughout much of history. To act as if none of them exist and its just alt right, Nazis or conspiracy theory rather than what gets someone there. Like black people can think and have ideas without white people. This isn't all Candace Owens. Most of the people on here have never read Malcolm X, James Baldwin or Farrakhan though. People on here don't aim to take in information they may disagree with to just learn
. They think taking in the information or knowing it means you should agree with it or something rather than just an interest in how people other than themselves think.Hope at least out of all this there is a discussion that in the end brings us all closer together but its doubtful

Oct 27, 2022Define "hateful". I don't think Kayne actually hates Jewish people. Why have we never heard him say these things until like a month ago, and now this is all he talks about? I think he loves saying controversial things and then gets indignant about it. I think that's hateful though. Why intentionally provoke people and get them upset to feel good?
