kanye’s mental illness is very well documented so there are instances that can and should be explained by that. ppl trying to act like it doesn’t influence a large chunk of his actions are delusional
in this case tho he’s just being his normal headass self, this was something he planned for a while. doesn’t make it any less headass tho
I mean bro we have English last names but we come from Africa. I see where you think “slave name” implies that were less than but I don’t view it that way. I’m proud of being AA regardless
Personally I wouldn’t change my name cause I don’t associate it w slavery. I associate w my family but that doesn’t change the ugly truth that it was given to my fam by a European
That’s exactly what I’m saying. We shouldn’t be applying it to slavery. And see my reply above
no you’re not you can’t erase your lineage with a name change and also it is a slave name. west definitely not some s*** his ancestors had as their last name before they were shipped over. you just arguing to argue
No, I’m not. Look at other reply’s.
How would I find my last name? I’d be taking some African name that I know nothing about no? And it’s not even disrespectful as that’s of course our motherland, but I’m African American. We’ve been looked down upon by all other races and ethnicities. So why not embrace what I am and carry on my culture and teachings with my last name? And that association no longer applies.
we live in 2021 my brother, last name association is far from the only method we have of connecting lineages.
Malcom is stating we don’t truly KNOW what we are, that’s the whole dilemma of the “African American”. We know what we’re taught but not of who we truly are as a people. Key phrase is “as a people”
This topic gets deeper the more it goes but I advice having more of an open mind to this tbh
Why do y'all care this much this changes nothing lol
Any Kanye news is 1000/10 on the drama scale round these parts
No, I’m not. Look at other reply’s.
but look at yours. you’re purposely being obtuse about the term slave name. west came from a slave master. like changing dat makes sense

What we “Were” I know what I am.
I have an open mind to it and I see where ye and others before him are coming from with it but I don’t agree with it and I’ve said why. Especially not coming from ye of all people

You’re not reading what I’m saying, I’m not being obtuse.

I mean what Ye is saying isn’t a original thought, he’s echoing thoughts of intelligent minds before him but I guess as long as you understand where ppl are coming from with this then atleast there’s a chance
Otherwise you purposely become Ignorant
Kanye West is one of the hardest names of all time damn shame he changed it
you're acting like people aint still gonna call him kanye west
