For years Kanye had this weird attitude ... he loves controversy mixed with his bat sh1t behaviour. When he got with Kim Kardashian , I'm surprised there was enough room for both their egos in that relationship. 2 self obsessed idiots. |

![]() In fairness it doesn't mean that he can't be right on other issues, it just seems like I wouldn't agree with him on race related issues very often.

[QUOTE=Oliver_W;11223322]It obviously wasn't each individual slave's choice to be enslaved, but the slave trade was enabled by other black Africans, who would kidnap people and sell them on. A particular proponent of tbe thing was the Dahomey tribe, who reacted particularly negatively to slavery being abolished in the West.
(The people being glorified in The Woman King movie) So while his phrasing was awful, whites are far from the only guilty party. But that's like saying " oh it wasn't all Hitler's fault" , utterly insensitive & mad. Kanye was victim blaming . The slave trade may have been enabled,but what he said was ridiculous.

There was no "Hitler Figure" in the slave trade. It wasn’t just enabled by other Africans, it was actively driven by them. They're as to blame as the other participants.

I thought it was well known that he is Bi-polar which explains gis erratic behaviour. It doesn't excuse anything he says but there is a medical diagnosis as to why he often behaves the way he does. If anyone has lived with someone with bi-polar knows, its exhausting and at times frigtening with the moods swings and behaviours

I've been listening to his music for the past couple hours. He's a modern day musical genius.
Runaway, in particular, is just breathtaking, spine tingling.

He’s a genius who people looking for celebrity-goss. need to stop hounding in live time when he’s like this. By all means gossip about the Kardashians but like Annie said Kanye hasn’t been well in a long time. He has the periodic lucidity to make very good points but until he’s sorted out I can’t be too critical of anything he says right now. The various swings of bipolar disorder can turn someone into a repulsive so-and-so but it’s mostly the acuity of the illness talking, not them.

I actually still really like the Kardashians but that’s a story for another day, I guess.

What a load of rubbish , you're not speaking for me ! . As I've been saying for years he was arrogant & obnoxious . But it's more evident now that he's severely mentally unstable, and people need to stop giving him attention. And he either needs sectioning or something . |
