You didn’t answer my question. Do you believe that being a conservative black person means he would disrespect Harriet Tubman
Associating with someone that already misrepresents us & having a history of political incorrect/ignorant statements
Why are you surprised that I would think this ?

Black people aren’t a monolith bro.
Niggas mad at Kanye cause he right but he said it wrong, a couple seconds after WARNING everyone that he was about to say it wrong lmfaooo
They know what he meant too but they still mad 😭like shut the f*** up and go brush ur teeth man
U got that
So you take every statement literally?
Political statements & campaign statements yes tf
This isn’t church or a bible script, I’m not finna turn an ignorant statement into a potential good one because of my positive interpretation of it
Lol you making me mad
It’s literally a fact though
I’m sorry, did you not know that?
What are you or him even implying with that poverty ass "point" tho.
That Harriet didnt also personally create and run black owned businesses for the slaves as well???
The Bill Cosby s*** he said is actually more disrespectful. Like I understand, yalls hearts are in the right place, but god damn y’all pinpoint the wrong s*** everytime
Nobody said it wasn’t disrespectful. Nobody said Kanye didn’t deserve backlash.
Y’all are arguing something that nobody said
You just said you dont think was he was dissing Harriet.
Shes telling you why what he said was damaging, stupid & dismissive of Harriet's legacy. Do you read ?
My point is he said that s*** with no context or explanation is straight up dismissive of & undermines Harriet’s contributions
Idk if you black but I take full offense to any & all stupid ass misinformation & ignorance when it comes to past african American figures important to the community
Nigga you see anyone sit down & try to interpret the s*** Obama be saying ? No because Obama actually know what the f*** he be talm bout tf
Bro what are you saying he gave the exact context and explanation thirty seconds after the Harriet statement. Like literally not 30 seconds go by before he starts explaining himself.
Did you watch the entire statement or just the 30 second clip theshaderoom posted where the girl says “wErE lEaViNg RiGhT nOw”
What are you or him even implying with that poverty ass "point" tho.
That Harriet didnt also personally create and run black owned businesses for the slaves as well???
Now why would that be his point
Does Kanye hate Harriet Tubman guys ??😳
If someone said I’m high as hell Sunny would say no hell is below the earth
Omg girl you’re so annoying
You’re comparing a figure of speech to a ignorant statement made in a political rally
Last time I checked politicians were suppose to be factual, articulate & rational
The ignorance is real, you’re canceled
Kanye West wants to ERASE Harriet Tubman’s legacy you guys !!😳😳😳
You just said you dont think was he was dissing Harriet.
Shes telling you why what he said was damaging, stupid & dismissive of Harriet's legacy. Do you read ?
Period.
Say it again for the people in the back
Why would he want to do that?? We don’t know!!
Has he ever given us reason to believe he would??? No!! But he does!!
Its very easy to not downplay the work Harriet did bc she did physically free the slaves. Its not her fault she couldn't abolish systemic racism.
He's too rich, too old to still be making these terrible uneducated comments. Its like he didn't learn anything form that TMZ fiasco. At what point do you step back and do some actual research before speaking on these topics
It really depends on where he's getting all this from. What if he really did try to do his research, but whatever source he got it from told him that?
Kanye's known for being horrible at phrasing things. I don't know if he really meant it the same horrible way he said it, but you could easily give him the benefit of the doubt and open up the possibility he means:
"Harriet Tubman didn't free the slaves. She helped pioneer the process, but the slaves still ended up working for white people. There was more work to be done."

All this talk makes me want to relive Yeezus / Watch the Throne / Cruel Summer time period.
yall love this man more than your own mothers
Now why would that be his point
Does Kanye hate Harriet Tubman guys ??😳
All I'm asking is what point was he trying to make? Obviously the slaves would have to go back to working for white people. Doesn't at all negate or take away from what harriet did
frustrates me how folk say "this isn't what Donda would've wanted" or that "she wouldn't approve of this".
you can criticize kanye without having to bring his dead mom into it continually.

Then he should just say THAT, it really isnt that hard my g. This is what happens when you freestyle your school presentation
