Rap superstar and culture critic Kanye West accused many in the black community of hypocrisy by focusing more of their outrage on white violence against black people or his decision to wear a Donald Trump campaign hat than the problems in black communities. “Black people have a tendency to focus and march when a white person kills a black person or wears a hat, but when it’s 700 kids being killed in Chicago it’s O.K.,” Kanye West said during a lengthy and wide-ranging interview with TMZ boss Harvey Levin on Tuesday.
The Grammy-winning rapper-producer’s words infuriated Van Lathan, a black reporter at the TMZ office who said Kanye was lying, pointing to people in those communities working to improve them.
“There’s been more focus and more marches about whites killing blacks than kids in Chicago killing each other,” West continued. “Ninety percent of black people being killed are killed by other blacks.”
Indeed, to Kanye’s point, according to the FBI’s latest annual “Crime in the United States” report, 90 percent of black Americans killed in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 were killed by blacks.
Lathan continued shouting at the rapper, some of which was censored, prompting West to walk across the room to give him a hug.
“I love you, bro,” he said. “I am sorry I hurt you with my words.”
“Bro you gotta be responsible, man … your voice is too big,” Lathan replied.

Ron Artest getting that beer thrown on him while lying on the trailers table. He went after the perp. ESPN musts showed it a thousand times. Yet they’re the Starbucks of the networks.
Now THIS is called doubling down.
Speaking of whom, what happened to Tupac? Why do some black people consider him a martyr?
this looks like a brand new Kanye to me...
Whoa baby. He’s firing on all 12 cylinders.
It’s bad enough that Kanye West had the nerve to leave the Democrat plantation. Now he’s sounding like someone who posts regularly on Free Republic. LMAO.

True, that.
When you have these types of realizations there’s no going back. He’s flipped. He is the political equivalent to a Trojan horse, except what is inside is a nuclear bomb to the left.
Oh Dayummm!
Gosh, West is GOOD! Cuts to the chase!
Kanye, keep driving liberals crazy!
“He is the political equivalent to a Trojan horse, except what is inside is a nuclear bomb to the left.”
Agree. This is a big deal. The main reason I think so are the reactions of Mad Maxine and others. They’re rattled.
They’ll kill Candice Owens as a threat. She doesn’t make the left money. Now when Kanye declares the Kardashian gang as brainwashed by (((them))), it’ll be on.
The Plantation Mistress derides Kanye...
Maxine Waters: Kanye West Talking ‘Out of Turn,’ ‘Should Think Twice About Politics’

Bio says he is a Christian. The Truth shall set you free (from the Plantation).
“He might be toast.”
I tend to agree. The Marxists cannot risk one such as Kanye leaving the plantation and waking the brothers & sisters.
They will find a way to discredit him - either a #MeToo accusation or some other phony charge.
They will try to take him down or shut him up; the left has been working too hard to let the likes of Kanye slow down their progress.
LOVE IT!!! Going to the core!!!
Kanye West sells people $300 plain white t-shirts.
I’m starting to think this man is a genius.
Kanye has gone too far.
Now, Maxine Waters will be screeching for him to be impeached.

He does look like he has a certain light in his eyes.
Good to see.
Bro :)
