Untreated mental illness is the only logical explanation for his behavior. In that Lex interview he said he hasn't taken his medication in over two years. There is no master plan here. I've seen people claim it's all a ploy to get out of unfavorable business deals but...how does it make sense to do that by nuking your ability to acquire financing? If he plans on manufacturing and developing his own shit he's going to need to use his own money now, and he's not liquid enough to pull that off long term. He's fucked.

He's received two huge loans in the last 10-15 years from Jay-Z and Kim. He's allegedly in the process of selling his music catalog. And he has Candace Owens and these other leeches bleeding him. Everything points to financial collapse within the decade.

I'm guessing its something to do with Candace Owens etc telling him that these are shit deals, he's in bed with satan and whatever other nonsense.

I get the feeling he's very impressionable and easily led by unpleasant characters. Its not like he was anything like this really (other than the attention seeking/provocateur side of him) when he was mostly hanging around with Jay Z and co. It's also pretty clear that his mum kept him on the straight and narrow too.

It's kind of hard to feel bad for him though because he's a full grown man and you can only rattle some cages so many times.

It's kinda sad that he's probably alienated all his real friends now who could get through to him and is stuck with low lives, hangers on and grifters though, when thats the case it doesn't usually have a happy ending.

I feel bad for him.  He's clearly never been all there.

Candance has always been painfully aware of what she's doing.



Killer mike is also on that same tilt.

He's currently tap dancing in the Georgia governor race, and clearly prefers Kemp over Abrams. He's lost in the sauce.

Definitely tap dancing for a governor who has targeted black people for various bullshit, while also lying about Abrams campaign. Couple weeks ago there was a dust up over him claiming Kemp was campaigning in all the places you'd need to go to court black voices, and that Abrams should do the same if she's serious. Turns out she had been to the same stops. Just a weird vibe going on. I'd understand this with some suspect democrat candidate but Abrams is pretty damn good on "black issues."

Not saying it lightly, but yeah, guy is dealing with mental illness and lying to himself. At spots in the interview, he’s trying to justify his behavior as an Andy Kaufman bit. Or that he’s a soldier for god. Or any previous struggles with mental health were lies planted in media. Or other excuses he comes up with. That facade is easily broken whenever Lex presses him. He’ll convince himself it’s to get out of deals. Owens and the sycophants around him will support those delusions. Most petulant he got in the interview was at the suggestion to find people he can trust.

Kanye is clearly mentally ill and in manic phase right now. I feel so bad for him but he refuses to take his meds. It is what it is.

He was/is a Bernie ally.  I wouldn't say he's "tap dancing"  but he's clearly in the libertarian area of the spectrum.

But why do you give him credit but not me? We've both come to the same conclusions and the same solution: kill the Democrats at that polls. Democrats are not the solution to our problems. But don't get me wrong, neither are Republicans. But the mindset of Republicans - individuality, hard work - is what needed in the black community, in the same way it is in immigrants. Offering things makes you fat and complacent and no community will improve until you improve yourself. The black community as it is now is functionally dying under Democratic Party leadership and ideals. The government will not save you. You can, however. These are the principles Black Americans had pre Civil Rights movement and it's time to revive them. Only the Individual and Liberty will save us. Republicans are right about that.

Definitely tap dancing for a governor who has targeted black people for various bullshit, while also lying about Abrams campaign. Couple weeks ago there was a dust up over him claiming Kemp was campaigning in all the places you'd need to go to court black voices, and that Abrams should do the same if she's serious. Turns out she had been to the same stops. Just a weird vibe going on. I'd understand this with some suspect democrat candidate but Abrams is pretty damn good on "black issues."

How is Abrams good with black issues and why should anyone black want to continue to think Democrats can solve anything in our community? Why keep running to them and assume they'll help the problem? What solutions do Democrats even have? More big government BS?

The Republicans have a big blind spot though which was obvious when Trump was in office and they had a hard time controlling the riots. Despite social justice reform and low unemployment Trump had to hide in a bunker.
I would say post-Trump they've done some soul searching and the right pays more attention to black voices but there's still a lot of "white peopleTM" shenanigans in the GOP.

Running on things like lower gas prices is a short term election strategy that works but does not really change anything.

Lex pressed him better than anyone has. Sure Lex had some bad moments in the interview but overall he challenged a lot of things that Kayne probably hasn't been challenged on in person. The entire weird thing about his Jewish trainer bringing him to a Jewish doctor was surreal. Kanye has spoken about being bipolar before, and even called it a superpower. Yet with Lex he insinuated the diagnosis was a part of some Jewish plot against him.

Kinda surprised nobody has asked him about Drake being Jewish. They have this weird relationship/rivalry but I wonder what he thinks about the biggest guy in music being...one of those people.

:lol

I'll give you the first two. Democrats claim to help with the others. Also, while you say Democrats want to end racial profiling and police violence, on social media you would think most black people are anti-police but in actuality in the real world black people want more police.

https://news.gallup.com/poll/316571/black-americans-police-retain-local-presence.aspx

Democrats have put in progressive DA's that have allow people in and out of jail, a prominent concern for black Americans. You can say that criminal was a victim of the system all you want but he still chose to do it. Meanwhile black people see the direct effect on soft on crime policy. Look at the crime uptick in Portland, Seattle, and Minneapolis, all places with DEFUND THE POLICE rhetoric now limping along in safety and crime metrics.

https://ambailcoalition.org/new-report-bail-reform-unleashed-a-crime-wave-in-new-york/

Democrats claim to want to close the gap in income but in actuality their practices harm minorities.

Things like :

rent control

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/06/15/comeback-rent-control-just-time-make-housing-shortages-worse/

https://www.jsonline.com/story/opinion/2022/08/12/rent-control-bad-idea-hurts-people-its-intended-help/10101002002/

Your suppositions are helpful only outside looking in. Democrats claim all sorts of shit. Doesn't mean their policies actually help. On the contrary they're often downright dog shit.

Gas isn't the main topics of the midterms. Economy and crime are. GOP are completely hammering on crime and the Dumbocrat "solutions" to it acting like this is gatdamn Europe with some limp wristed "they're not bad" mindset without actual rehabilitation, letting mentally ill people in and out of jail until they shoot up subways, or push Asian women in front a train, or dump a bag full of doo doo in a woman's face. Meanwhile entire CVS stores are locked up tooth and nail, even deodorant. The Democrats have got to go.

On a positive note, brothers nation-wide now get it. The Democratic Party is not for us. The only solution is not voting or voting GOP or (if such a unicorn exists) a moderate Dem.

The Dems are bleeding black male voters. It's the women they got and they're starting to lose them too. Bleed enough and they will soon become non-viable and not electable without a "key demographic". :lol Zehahaha.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-10-11/black-men-are-showing-tepid-enthusiasm-for-stacey-abrams-in-georgia-race



Quote
One-third of Black men registered in Georgia haven’t voted in the past several elections, with pollsters saying these disaffected voters just don’t think the outcome will improve their lives. In recent years, Black men also have shown they’re more willing to vote Republican, in Georgia and nationally. About 1 in 5 Black men voted for Donald Trump in 2020, up from 2016.

Together, these two groups -- Black men who typically don’t vote and those who have crossed party lines -- could determine the outcome in November. The key is figuring out the reasons for their choices and persuading them to change their minds.

PD calls Killer Mike tap dancing. Pretty soon he will be one of the few brothers still riding Dem dick. But keep fucking that chicken I guess.

I'm not against Killer Mike. I just find the way he moves to be very odd at times, especially when it comes to tacitly dapping up a guy who has dedicated much (most?) of his career to disenfranchising black people. Similar to the Kanye thing, I don't want to hear "but you have to consider this other thing he said" as a defense. I can't vote, support, dap, or be friendly with people who literally spend large chunks of the year figuring out how to erase basic rights from groups of people.

I remember when the last Georgia voter bill passed and Biden compared it to Jim Crow, there was a lot of pushback (understandably so) and derision about that language. Fast forward to now, and people are being stopped at the polls because the law allows citizens to challenge the validity of "random" (wink wink) people on the voter rolls. You show up to the polls, learn somebody challenged the legality of your voter status, and then are forced to fill out a provisional ballot. Georgia requires a valid driver's license to vote, which means that vast majority of times that person lives in the address that's on file. It's a way for a group of people to say we know where you live, we know your name, and we're going to ensure your vote is parsed or thrown out.

Listen to this :rejoice

https://www.newyorker.com/podcast/politics-and-more/whats-driving-black-candidates-to-the-republican-party

Quote
The Republican Party is clearly no place for Black activism as most of us know it. Members of the Party inveigh against what they call critical race theory, and oppose efforts to redress racial discrimination in everything from school admissions to policing and public safety; in some quarters, simply acknowledging that racism exists is considered unpatriotic. And yet the Republican Party has recently attracted an almost unprecedented number of Black candidates to its fold—more than at any time since the Reconstruction era. “In a moment where the Party . . . has really wholeheartedly embraced white-grievance politics,” Leah Wright Rigueur tells David Remnick, “they are endorsing more Black candidates than they have in the past twenty-five years.”

Wright Rigueur is a historian at Johns Hopkins University and the author of “The Loneliness of the Black Republican,” which covers the period from the New Deal through the Reagan Administration. The G.O.P., she argues, is exploiting a moment when the long-standing relationship between Black Americans and the Democratic Party is weakening, and it aims to capitalize on an “everyday conservatism” among voters. “It actually makes sense that in the aftermath of Barack Obama—with Black people’s levels of support and warmth for the Democratic Party in decline and the belief among a small sect of African Americans that [it] is just as racist as the Republican Party—that actually frees some people up to actually vote Republican,” she says.

:hyper

The reality is fuck black activism. There has been an activist culture since the 60's. Take Black Lives Matter. It hits just one small slice of black issues. It doesn't address the dissolution of our values, our safety, or black crime. Look at the hip hop culture and the endless amount of bodies dead from gang violence. Where's that moment? Crickets. Protesting does not make one self reliant or independent. The only way to save the black community is by working on thyself, learning skills, and bringing those skills to the community at large to teach a culture of self reliance and values.

Killer Mike is a public figure. I'm not. He says he will keep his vote private. I am afforded the ability to say whatever I want on the internet. I do what I can and have canvassed for my local Republicans. :usacry

You can deny it, but we've come to the same conclusions. Trump would have been a much better choice in 2020. Killer Mike agrees. The Democratic Party is no longer the place for black people. Mike agrees. Deny all you want and keep continue to accuse my logical arguments with being "off kilter" or "looney bin". The only way forward for America is for one of the parties to die and be replaced. I think that should be the Democrats.

You have dismissed my views for a year despite them being pretty much in line with Mike's. If you talked with Killer Mike on the internet I bet you'd call him mentally ill too.

In fact, Killer Mike actually cares about mental health. If you cared about mental illness or "helping people" as you said, you wouldn't continue to just flippantly accuse me being mentally ill. You would actually reach out in some way. Hypocrite.

Killer Mike would rather have Bernie Sanders as the president and that thinks Trump would have been better than Biden because Trump might have "cut a deal" with the black community and advocates to "lean into politicians who will negotiate with you." 

He's not telling people to go republican or democrat and doesn't identify as either.  He's "whatever he needs to be on a local level to advance his people" and in Atlanta that has meant voting for black democrats. 

Mike is also a big supporter of Nina Turner, a democrat, who he wants to run for president.  I think that's probably more due to her connection to Bernie though?

I love how these people operate in a realm wherein Trump is a blank slate that they can project their wants on, regardless of his actual presidency. Trump had 4 years to "cut a deal" with black people. Didn't do it. Instead he threatened to send the National Guard to black cities on Marshal Law. Instead he attempted to overturn Obamacare, which cut the black un-insurance rate in half. Instead he nominated judges who dismantle the VRA on the federal level. Not to mention bungling covid to a point the economy collapsed, unemployment skyrocketed etc.

I'm not a Biden guy. He's been good-to-great on foreign policy, ok on everything else but more importantly he's just not the guy. I'd vote for again but am hoping he steps down at some point next year. But the idea that he's the same guy he was 30-40 years ago is laughable. Certainly not on drugs or crime lmao.

He got 87% of the black vote. Which is in line with how black people have traditionally voted for white male democrat presidents, post the CRA; iirc Clinton received 84% of the black vote in 1996. There's this talking point, often used by Candace Owens, that black people are waking up and yet...not only are republicans doing nothing to appeal to black voters, they're often openly antagonistic. Most black people recognize that and the data makes it pretty clear that they've stuck with the party they trust for good or bad.

That's because its easier to pretend someone who didn't win and therefore did nothing would be better than someone who had to deal with realpolitik to achieve whatever they did.

Ultimately, the Left / Right spectrum isn't about social issues, money, or even really power; it's about change.

Republicans think things right now are pretty great and don't want to change anything because it might make things worse.
Democrats think things right now aren't that great, and changing some things will make everything better for the majority.

That's why a lot of minorities traditionally vote left wing / Democrat.
Even when a lot of the people representing the Democrats are obnoxious as fuck, or blatantly stupid ideas are being floated around as possible policy; it represents the quality of change, possibly for the better.

This is misconstruing what he said.  He's talking about knowing that trump just wants wins, and with that you can get him to do anything.  Which has been proven time and time again.

His hesitation to trust Biden and co. isn't misplaced. dems have been pulling the football gag for their entire run.

The thing with Kanye is that Jay-Z and Nas been saying the same shit. Russell on this tip here too. :lol



I have no idea why they're targeting Kanye so harshly given he's not the first to do it but maybe it's because the others apologized or whatever and kanye is just a loose cannon spouting off all kinds of mess with no remorse.

I don't agree with it but eh.

I'm not the one hating on the Jewish people or thinking black people are the real Jews all along!

I just like to shit post and make people mad. I like getting a reaction and laughing at my phone. Kanye has lost 1 billion dollars. This man needs help! I truly worry this might be a precursor to a suicide attempt.

that thinks Trump would have been better than Biden because Trump

This is misconstruing what he said.  He's talking about knowing that trump just wants wins, and with that you can get him to do anything.  Which has been proven time and time again.

His hesitation to trust Biden and co. isn't misplaced. dems have been pulling the football gag for their entire run.

Since when? Trump is too stupid to be controlable. That was was proved time and time again. Why you think even a cynical asshole that only wants money and power like McConnell hates his guts?

Mike is also a big supporter of Nina Turner, a democrat, who he wants to run for president.  I think that's probably more due to her connection to Bernie though?
Losing in a primary for the House -> Bernie does worse in the presidential primaries -> losing even harder in a primary for the same House seat -> ? -> President Nina Turner.

As a teacher in Oakland, Calif., Kareem Weaver helped struggling fourth- and fifth-grade kids learn to read by using a very structured, phonics-based reading curriculum called Open Court. It worked for the students, but not so much for the teachers. “For seven years in a row, Oakland was the fastest-gaining urban district in California for reading,” recalls Weaver. “And we hated it.”

The teachers felt like curriculum robots—and pushed back. “This seems dehumanizing, this is colonizing, this is the man telling us what to do,” says Weaver, describing their response to the approach. “So we fought tooth and nail as a teacher group to throw that out.” It was replaced in 2015 by a curriculum that emphasized rich literary experiences. “Those who wanted to fight for social justice, they figured that this new progressive way of teaching reading was the way,” he says.

I knew that would be a Stan Grant opinion piece before I even opened the link. Stan's while identity is based on blaming white people for everything.
