I hate when he does something pretending it’s for the sake of everyone else. He is so incredibly selfish, the only times (in recent years) he’s brought up racism, white supremacism etc has been when it has directly affected him.

After spending the past few years twerking for Trump and others and pretending that white supremacism & racism barely exists he’s brought it up once again.

Stans will argue it’s just him fighting for everyone but I won’t be so blind. A lot of the white people here will be capping so I’m not bothered.

What more can Kanye do to justify his intentions? In your opinion

what would it take for kanye to convince you hes for the people and not just being selfish

put out the album for free

he did

oh wow listening now

Been saying this, stans will never admit it though.

The Nat Ye and Moses tweets clearly show where he’s coming from.

this is somewhat true and annoys me to no end

it would be better if he either spoke up for us more often and not just when it benefits him, or just stopped pulling the race card altogether

cause according to his own words, racism isn't a deal breaker

#freeYe

he wuz only friends wif trump 2 be a double agent >:(

Kanye doesn’t need to justify himself to me lol if I don’t understand that’s on me but most times I will.

It’s a clear trend that majority of the time he speaks on social issues in recent years is when it is affecting him directly.

Man said racism didn’t bother him on SNL (i think last year or two years ago) why’s he bringing it up now?

Even if you’re wealthy and black you’re still affected so I don’t understand why people have been giving him this pass.

I don’t need someone who will tell me racism doesn’t bother me then start talking about it’s affects when it bothers them. You can’t see how selfish that is?

It’s not fair on many Black people because he has spent so long validating racists and weirdos like Candace Owens

ITS CALLED EXPERIENCE.

I am with you, OP. I def felt the same. But its also normal to stand for issues when they start to affect yourself. A lot of times i don't get how severe an issue is before i feel it myself. Doesn't discredit the whole intention tho.

What bout when he spoke out against private prison
Mass incarceration
About Climate change
The 2020 riots
"The mental slavery point"
Black ownership
Cons of social media
Against corporations
White liberals/"black vote"
Homelessness

I think it's a mix of both, he has spoken out on many issues that dont involve him in recent times and gets told to shut up and that it doesnt involve him and then theres also times where it come across as self service

But I dont think this is one of them times, this point he's on now ties into his points about black ownership that he's been making since yeezus, new slaves, and even as recent as his rally

No it ain’t

I agree with most of your post but even so, being apathetic about racism especially as a wealthy black man it nullifies a lot of your points.

As you said he’s mentioned a lot of those other things but if he isn’t bothered then why does he feel the need to be angry and go on a tangent about white supremacy?

I’m not saying it’s bad but it should come from a more genuine place.

I personally think if the fashion world was more open to him then Yeezus would have gone a lot more differently.

But I dont think he is apathetic to racism tho, I mean if he was then he wouldnt have going on about private prisons, mass incarceration, black vote, and more. S*** he show up to the protest and didnt say a word

I dont really get ur second point, are u saying if he isnt affected then why does he get so angry ?

I don't think he has control over that isn't that the whole point of the 10 contracts?

i mean go against the label and just leak it

this is true, but it's also probably true for most people or at least most artists.

if him talking about an issue that effects him helps other people tho, then it's a good thing.

Even him doing it for himself is still helping others, I'm sure artists will look into their contacts and try to own their masters too.

This is the case for a lot of artists who not until something happens to them will they speak out on it.

What artist ever speaks up about anything that hasn't affected them?

Agree with u OP

but also when he kept saying racism isn’t the deal breaker for him doesn’t that kinda prove his point that he still is a black man trying to get in the ranks of all the places they would usually deny someone like him of

Kanye is not a leader in the since were he’s going to go around and ask everybody what there issues are and then go fight for them. Kanye only work through his life experience “if I’m going through this, someone else is probably going through it too” so let me fight this fight and if I win we all win too
