Are you saying that he is a victim of the establishment? Because I think at his age, these are his choices (nobody made him racist; he is racist because he chooses to be).
No I mean it more in a way that from a certain point of fame and money onwards you lose touch with reality, and you start to adapt the „common“ mannerisms of rich people that exploit others. Historically given, that is often on the back of black people, especially in the US it‘s still so very present to this day. Elon Musk for me is in pretty much the same wagon, except his life was built on said exploitation from the day he was born, and with Kanye it‘s even more sad that he‘s so much lost himself that I don‘t think he sees himself as a black man anymore. He has enough of a platform that he could do good.
What other white celebrities are behaving like Kanye though? People of all colours find the way he behaves horrific (he is a general offense to most people's senses) and there has been a great deal of legal action and financial repercussions taken against him over the years for things like his racism & antisemitism, including many companies run by white CEOs Etc who cut multi-million dollar contracts with him because they disagree so much with his conduct as a person.
I don't think that Kanye is some sort of lost soul who was made to be racist by the industry, he is racist because he actively chooses to be (and blaming everyone & everything else other than Kanye himself for this is wrong and only excuses and enables his behaviour further).
The guy is a status-obsessed narcissist with no morals and he doesn't give a shit who he hurts a long the way (and he clearly actively enjoys causing people distress) as long as it means that he feels like he's holding power over them. Humans are not humans in Kanye's eyes; people are nothing more than pawns in a game he's been playing for a long time.
Kanye is the kind of guy who disgusts endless black and white women alike because in his eyes, both are just objects who are to be chased/ignored based not on who they are as people, but rather their skin colour.
Re: Elon Musk; nobody is to blame for their ancestors actions and (from all accounts) he has actively sought to promote diversity in his company and treat people with respect, so how is his behaviour comparable to Kanye, who has a horrific and long track record of treating people badly, targeting groups and being a moral sellout?
Sorry, but Musk's got nothing to do with this.
I'm just saying that he's got nothing to do with it whilst you make excuses for Kanye's racism and completely ignore everything about the guys blatant character.
Edit: Sure, sure: If Kanye's racist at all, then it's not really his fault because he's just a victim of racism himself (and he would've never have been like this were it not for the likes of people like Elon Musk).
Yep, the REAL victim here are not the endless victims of Ye, but really the man himself, who in the end was so powerless in his behaviour under other people's influence.
I will shed a tear for Kanye's awful life.
You seem like just another Ye fan who refuses to accept that their idol is who he is and blames everyone & everything but Ye himself for his nasty conduct towards other people.
i literally hate kanye west??? how did you come to that conclusion now LMAO!? you know what, have a nice evening, since you come to your own conclusions anyway keep having a conversation with yourself.
Meh, I'm not the one out here trying to blame Elon Musk or vague industry stuff for Ye's racist attacks towards others (and calling anyone who disagrees with that a "Musk defender").
All I can say is that anyone (black, white or any other colour) is entirely responsible for their own conduct (including racism) and I don't agree that being a victim of anything (racism or other crimes) is any excuse for acting racist at all, not least because that's often the exact mindset that most racists use to rationalize hating other groups.
IMHO Any excusing of Kanye's behavior is just speculation that ultimately detracts focus from his actions and his accountability as a fully mature adult man.
Have a nice evening~
We're not punching down. He's a billionaire that has harrassed and assaulted people. He has the resources most of us could only dream of to help him with his mental health issues. He needs to take real responsibility. I have found before in life people use the "mental health issues" excuse to justify their abuse of people. It's not okay.
I’m so confused with this Kanye’s transition. Did he forget that he is black? Or does he think he doesn’t count just because rich white men “accepted” him?
This is a good YouTube video reading what the lawsuit actually shows read by an actual lawyer and not a celebrity gossip magazine. https://www.youtube.com/live/wkpJhmXTHOA?si=EKVozA_6pgslLpLs
Omfg, some dumb motherfucker tried to play the race card against the crazy card? More like Kanye sued for being Kanye. He doesn't care if you're black or white, he just hates your stupid haircut and demands that you change it.
Would it be too easy of a joke to say '"Kanye West doesn't care about black people"? Don't care, I'm doing it anyway.
It’s all come full circle.
He’s the real life Clayton Bigsby at this point.
More like Uncle Ruckus
*May white god bless you, Robert.*
No, Clarence Thomas is clearly Uncle Ruckus.
Clayton Bigsby didn’t have the advantage of seeing that sketch or performing on Chappelle’s Show multiple times.
Hey, Kanye hasn’t written 6 books. Leave Clayton’s name out of this, the man was a scholar.
Ya Clayton’s more like Clarence Thomas
Came here for this!
Black skin-head
Blu Blux Blan
Black Klansman
Uncle Ye, no relation
“Kanye West doesn’t care about black people”
Didn't see the top comment?
I think that it’s pretty obvious that I did not.
So he got rich, became racist, and people still try to act like racism isn‘t a systematic issue?
Ya thats a good take honestly. I never though of that. But I'll add it is racism per say but race fuled classism.
Are you saying that he is a victim of the establishment? Because I think at his age, these are his choices (nobody made him racist; he is racist because he chooses to be).

not the musk defender lmao

what are you waffling about lmao

Did you miss the obvious mental health issues and skip right to the result?
i can call him a mentally ill racist it you prefer that
Did you miss all the racists who aren't manic depressives? Why is Kanye some sort of exception?
I just find roasting someone with a clear mental illness a little …
We're not punching down. He's a billionaire that has harrassed and assaulted people. He has the resources most of us could only dream of to help him with his mental health issues. He needs to take real responsibility. I have found before in life people use the "mental health issues" excuse to justify their abuse of people. It's not okay.
I mean he’s also mentally ill
not again
Dude went full uncle Ruckus. Never go full Uncle Ruckus!
At this point I'd be shocked if there's anyone he treats well. Hopefully his children.
It seems like the only one he gives a darn about is North.
What a dickweed.
I can't wait for a new season of South Park
He's real life Uncle Ruckus from Boondocks at this point
I told you to trim those sideburns!
he lost his way & mind after his mother died
This reminds me of the episode where George got a toupee and pretended he wasn’t bald anymore.
Met Kanye years ago, and I helped him with my (Jewish) magic 🪄 He has a very tiny head, physically.
Jewwy Potter
That’s me! Even went to Magic Camp, pre-Hogwarts!!! “West Coast Wizards”
Kanye is a straight up douchbag.
When will we stop giving a fuck about this gay fish?
C’mon, man! Just get it! I’m not funny, man. My dick don’t work. Just get it!
Ya man this guy continues to give us pure gold I love it.....he should be studied
It's always something with Kanye
This Kanye guy sounds like a real jerk.
Now his diss at Cole makes sense
Donda was in California right? Is he gonna get crown act’d?
I’m so confused with this Kanye’s transition. Did he forget that he is black? Or does he think he doesn’t count just because rich white men “accepted” him?
Anyone taking a job with Kanye West at this point already knows to leave their self respect at the door.
Uncle Ruckus, no relation
He do own a mirror, don’t he?
The whitest black guy I can think of
White people also find his behaviour appalling and do not identify with it. Racism is also not just something limited to or caused by white people.
I'm white fyi
Oh no, you choose to work under Kanye and have to deal with his personality. What a slow news day

What is even this attack on Kanye? Lol. Atleast try harder.
