Kanye West Threatens To Leave United States Due To Racism
Political Blindspot ^ | January 18, 2014 | Staff

Posted on 01/22/2014 10:04:25 AM PST by C19fan

When Kanye West arrived after being informed of this, he walked straight up to the teen and punched him in the face. Now, in the aftermath of the incident, he said he is seriously considering leaving the United States.

West said he is dreading explaining the incident to his daughter, whose name is “North”, because it will lead to seriously negative discussions about American culture, society and history. West said he would prefer to leave the U.S. than have to have regular conversations about racism with his daughter.

Who the heck buys this nutjob’s crap?! He can’t sing and he can’t design (check out Kardashian ‘fashion’ since she has been dating him).

*******

“So if you listen to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, that’s the closest thing to a perfected album. So it’s like, I know how to make perfection, I just don’t want to. I want to rip the jeans!”

There’s that humble attitude that West is known for. Now we all know that if North West’s dad cranks out crap, it’s his choice — because he can make perfection — he chooses not to. “Rip the jeans” must be slang for “Piss people off every time I open my mouth.”

“At what point do you see something and say, ‘Yo, he really might be like Walt Disney. He really might be that creative and not just a rapper.’”

Now West thinks he’s Walt Disney. Delusion is a slippery slope, isn’t it folks? One minute you convince yourself you’re like a world famous architect and then you’re just a cocky declaration or two away from thinking you’re Walt Disney. We used to stuff people in padded rooms for saying this kind of stuff. Kanye, when you have a couple of theme parks named after you and you’ve made thousands of movies, let us know.

“Meaning, like, there’s no way for it to not work. When we do T-shirts, we do $200,000 in five hours, it works, but it’s a wall… It’s the Michael Jackson glass ceiling when he couldn’t get his videos played because he was considered to be urban.”

When West tries to explain what he’s talking about, we get more confused. His T-shirt manufacturing company is encountering the same problems Michael Jackson did? Huh? This is just getting weird.

“It’s not fair that I don’t have infrastructure for what I want to do in clothing because I’m crazy influential.”

It’s not fair that West is crazy influential? What’s not fair is that we have to be subjected to Yeezus’ Kanye-isms because he’s wormed his way into the spotlight. Remember, Kanye, just because you say it’s so, doesn’t make it so. (How many “Yeez” men has this guy surrounded himself with that have convinced him if he says something, it must be true?)

“What I want to create isn’t about black and white, but the reason why I’m not able to create what I want to create is about being black and is about classism. And that’s the wall when I took [Kim] to the Met Ball and they put it up on Vogue.com and tried to say she wasn’t there because they didn’t want a reality show girl there.”

First, it’s not about being black, and then it is. Then it’s about “classism.” West has a new card in his deck to play, called the “class” card, even though he and his fiancée, Kim Kardashian, have more combined wealth than some small countries (although we all know wealth can’t buy you class — is that what he’s talking about?).

“Or like with the Hollywood Walk of Fame… it’s not the walk of singing… it’s the Walk of Fame… and classism has been going on before racism. We’re classist. We have our cool table… and there’s no way Kim Kardashian shouldn’t be on the cover of Vogue.”

Dramatic shifts in thought processes not withstanding, it appears that West is bitter that the mother of his child is not being considered for a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame because she’s a reality TV star. He should realize the real reason Kardashian is not being given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is because all the other stars who have worked hard to earn a star would scratch their names out if she did.

“She’s like the most intriguing woman right now. She’s got Barbara Walters calling her like every day… and collectively we’re the most influential with clothing. No one is looking at what [President] Obama is wearing. Michelle Obama cannot Instagram a [bikini] pic like what my girl Instagrammed the other day.”

Did you see what happened there? In one stream of consciousness, West told us that Kardashian is the most intriguing woman right now (Lord, is our country in trouble if that’s true), he name-dropped Barbara Walters, and compared their popularity and fashion to the president and first lady. So far, West thinks he is Gaudi, Walt Disney and Michael Jackson and Barbara Walters is calling Kardashian every day. We want some of whatever West is drinking.

“Just drink! I’m sure I’m not supposed to say that, but I drink Grey Goose. And I’m not getting paid anything from them, but I’m going to tell you as a man — and they said Shakespeare was like a drunk and yes, I said that to blatantly compare myself to Shakespeare — you know, I’m not perfect.”

And there it is. The final piece of the puzzle falls into place, but not before West compares himself to William Shakespeare. (If you’re wondering what that noise is, it’s the sound of Will flopping around in his grave.) Before he wraps up, West reminds us that he’s not perfect, which we already figured out by the number of contradictions and confusing quotes in this interview. Pass the Grey Goose.

When Kanye West arrived after being informed of this, he walked straight up to the teen and punched him in the face.

So, Kanye thinks that a negative remark gives him the right to punch the guy. I'm just waiting and hoping that one day Kanye does this to somebody who breaks Kanye's arm, followed by his face, before any of his bodyguards can react.

Public people seem to think they’re supposed to be above having to tolerate fools like the one who was shouting insults. Sounds like Kanye West is unable to discern an exception in the gene pool, or wants the anomalies in order to game the public.

Kanye West’s Yeezus Album Art is Racist
By Danielle Miller

The Kanye West album has become exponentially notorious, and now the conversation is centered around the controversial album art depicting a dead Native American wearing regalia and a headdress. To different viewers this image can carry various connotations. Some Natives look at this image and see the denied access to graves of their ancestors, as well as the thieving and abuse of those remains. Some could say even the text “God Wants You” is a reminder of manifest destiny and other historical trauma that Native Americans endured. The image is also reminiscent of one of our nation’s most popular cultural icons, Uncle Sam. But rather than representing the messages of war propaganda, this image represents the personification of cultural imperialism and the war on Native Identity.

Zimbabwe has really solved the problem with racism in their country.

Almost all the Whites have emigrated, and only about 20,000 Whites remain (out of a total population of about 11.6 million). That alone would make this an ideal place for Kanye to relocate.

That Zimbabwe is also a Third World hellhole, is of only marginal importance.

Then leave. And for good measure, stop releasing your alleged music in this racist country while you’re at it.

West said... “we’ve got enough money to buy our own island or some sh*t. I’ll be damned if I raise my daughter around ignorance and flat-out blatant racism.”

Having said such, then you should seriously consider putting your child up for adoption, for you, "sir", are the most blatantly ignorant racist I am aware of.

Your music sucks, you have no presence to speak of (can't act), can't keep your stupid mouth shut and to top it all off, you married a punch board and think you have earned the respect of the world as a result.

You are a damned fool.

Take your money and stick it.

By the way, just what the hell are you famous for, anyway?

Diarrhea of the mouth?

I respect you about as much as I do a hemorrhoid.

[Kanye West:]

Break records of Louie
Ate breakfast at Gucci
My girl a superstar all from a home movie
Bow on our arrival the unamerican idols
When niggas did in Paris got em hanging off the Eiffel
Yeah Im talking business
We talking CIA
Im talking George Tenet
I seen him the other day
He asked me about my Maybach
Think he had the same

Except mine tinted and his might have been rented
You know white people get money dont spend it
Or maybe they get money, buy a business
I rather buy 80 gold chains and go ignant
I know Spike Lee gon kill me but let me finish
Blame it on the pigment, we living no limits
Them gold master p ceilings was just a figment
Of our imagination, MTV cribs
