Kanye is crazy racist and has been for a while, I don't think anybody here disagrees
I don’t see the reason to give him any attention. What he says has no meaning, even he doesn’t understand it.
It’s a guy who’s bipolar and off his meds, there’s no argument or discussion to be had. Would you argue with a crazy homeless guy on the street?
Because that truly is the stage that he’s at, he just has the income to keep himself afloat.
We're not the ones who are going to mimic him. His audience will use his words to rationalize their own bigotry. We need to pay attention to him because his audience will make themselves a problem.
The racists are going to be the vast minority of Ye's audience. Statistically negligible. Some people are just surface-level low-intelligence beatheads who like the music.
R. Kelly had to go to jail to get people to stop listening to his music, and I don't recall people advocating for pedophilia on his behalf.
His meltdowns would be entertaining if they weren’t incredibly sad. I’m bipolar and have been in a manic state that would be deemed as detached from reality (usually just racing thoughts and insomnia; this one included delusions of persecution). He needs people in his life who can steer him towards help during these times and clearly has none or doesn’t listen to them.
Emphasis on crazy
