    what else do you want him to do? he is atleast doing what he can do, it's the government's job to do this, he is not the president or any executive of the government. Supporting black businesses also means they will thrive. They will hire more black employees too and people will not have to engage in activities that will land them in trouble if they have a steady source of income. It's not the only solution and not helping everybody but it atleast helps some people.

    And most of all op is trolling by dragging ye's name into this, idk why did he have to take his name in particular.

    i want his wealth seized and redistributed, i want him to stop making his money on the backs of exploited workers and so on.

    the idea that businesses thriving allows the people to thrive is misguided, those businesses will simply exploit the labor, make more profits for themselves and suck profits out of the communities. if donating to black businesses helped, then this problem would have been solved long ago because every year we get so many people donating untold millions, probably billions to this idea of black businesses, small businesses etc.,

    there's a reason corporations like walmart, amazon, etc., all make a big deal about their racial equality projects which include donations to black businesses; because it looks good for their PR, and it changes absolutely nothing.

    He did in this one and criticized rappers for talking about d****,killing,fucking b****es, etc. and said more emphasis should be given on things like buying land and making financially sound decisions.

    he didn't say it "cures the ills", it's simply a better way to spend your money. niggas be spending a whole 100,000K on jewelry when you can get cheap land for the same money or cheaper. it's about making more out of your success rather than material goods. if thats clown s*** then I guess we really are lost

    bro i'll be honest, idc. in my pov, he's done more than enough in the current system. you want the system to change and i feel that talk is more suited for politics sxn which i try not to meddle in as political discourse is not joyful for me. i just wanted the troll op to shut up as he's clearly trolling by dragging ye's name into this convo which isn't relevant at all.

    And I'm from the murder capital where they murder for capital
    Heard about at least three killings this afternoon
    Looking at the news like, "Damn I was just with him after school"
    No shop class but half the school got a tool
    And a "I could die any day"-type attitude
    Plus his little brother got shot reppin' his avenue
    It's time for us to stop and redefine black power
    Forty one souls murdered in fifty hours

    The paper read murder, black on black murder again

    Is it genocide?
    'Cause I can still hear his mama cries
    Know the family traumatized
    Shots left holes in his face 'bout piranha-sized
    The old pastor closed the cold casket
    And said the church ain't got enough room for all the tombs
    It's a war going on outside we ain't safe from
    I feel the pain in my city wherever I go
    Three hundred fourteen soldiers died in Iraq
    Five hundred and nine died in Chicago

    Since no one said yet for some reason, you cannot stop gun violence with well wishes and "stop it pls". If that worked those s***ty ass stop the violence campaigns during late 80s and 90s during the crack epidemic would've worked.

    Homicide rates higher than they've ever been in Chicago and the US as a whole.

    Chicago:

    https://heyjackass.com/2021-homicide-trend/

    17,000 killed by guns so far this year in USA by guns, that's literally insane.

    272 mass shootings already too, that's around 2 a day and way up on (sometimes double) the TOTAL mass shootings from past years.

    These rappers use gun violence to further their brand, to increase their level of fame and their net worth.

    Glorification of gun violence by rappers is making the situation worse.

    They think it's cool to rap about killing but when Pop Smoke got killed was that cool?? There is no reason to glorify this s***, they say it's how they live but does that mean they need to act like it's the best way to live??

    Kanye should speak out on this.

    It has become a part of daily life in the US, if there was 1 mass shooting in 95% of countries it would dominate the press for a month.

    YOU SAY GLORIFCATION OF GUN VIOLENCE bY RAPPERS IS MAKING THE SITUATION WORSE,

    WHERE IS UR PROOF ?

    bro come on dont be dense. you open businesses and s*** on the land so you can make a profit off of anything and everything they build there. Rick Ross is doing it rn actually in Georgia. These rappers put whole down payments on cars and brands by racist white men.

    Went to a gun control rally in 2019. pitchfork.com/news/kanye-west-attends-march-for-our-lives-rally
