Planned Parenthood issued a statement in July that explained why comparing abortion to “Black Genocide” is both “offensive and infantilizing.” But during a recent interview with Nick Cannon for the Cannon’s Class YouTube show, presidential hopeful Kanye West again made the same comparison, reiterating his anti-abortion stance.
“There’s some harsh facts that deal with the Black genocide that is abortion and it’s happening every day,” he said around the 29-minute mark. “Right now, God is giving me the information and he ain’t gave me no other information other than this information … so that means he wants me to say this right now. If God ain’t want me to run on stage and say Beyoncé had the best video [at the 2009 MTV VMAs], he wouldn’t have sat me in the front row.
“I would’ve been sitting in the back and they would’ve made it the first award and he wouldn’t have made it so ridiculous because I had never heard of this person before and ‘Single Ladies’ is one of the greatest videos of all time. And I was only drinking Hennessy because I didn’t want to go to the awards show because it was a set-up.”
He then went on to quote statistics about abortion and referred to Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger as a racist “whose goal was to reduce the Black population in America.” He noted over 1,000 Black babies are aborted every day as Cannon nodded along and said, “This is genocide.”
When Cannon challenged his ideals, Kanye referred to quotes from the Bible.
Kanye made headlines during his first campaign rally earlier this summer when he confessed he tried to convince his wife Kim Kardashian to abort their first daughter North West. With tears in his eyes, he screamed, “I almost killed my daughter!”
The backlash was swift, but Ye tells Cannon that’s exactly what he needed to quell his ego.
“And this is what I love about me crying about my daughter and this is what I love about people ridiculing me about it,” he explains around the 18-minute mark. “Because I need all that. I need all that smoke because I got a big head.”

Toward the end of the interview, Kanye pointed out the meaning behind his political party — The Birthday Party.
“The connection point to The Birthday Party is dealing with life and pro-life because these are kids that are now going to get a chance to have birthdays,” he explained. “For Daily Mail who want to tear me down, for anyone who wants to tear me down for crying, you realize that because of South Carolina, there are people who have decided to have to child because they connected and if they were on the fence about, they never saw anybody take that position.”
The November election is right around the corner and Kanye has faced numerous obstacles while trying to get on the ballots in various states. Most recently, he was accused of gathering deceptive signatures by the state of Virginia. Nevertheless, he’s moving on full steam ahead.

Please stop calling him Presidential hopeful.
Well he is, isn’t he? Doesn’t change the fact he’s still trying to run despite your aversion to the phrase.
He is hoping to be president and running for the position so this he is a presidential hopeful.
Like Pac said, we need more abortions. Either that or more of these mamas need to start swallowing their kids.
5 years from now there will be a large shift in the black cultural view of abortion, they will probably start seeing it as another way they are being oppressed, and Kanye probably won’t get any credit for that change.
You oppress yourself if you can’t spiritually or economically afford to raise a child, not to mention bringing another unwanted life into the world.
Kanye should be wearing a helmet.
He and the Donald are a lot alike mentally.
Somebody get Kanye some help. Hes obviously suffering from great mental distress spouting true things about 20 million black babies have been aborted since the 70s.
foh. Even a crazy person can speak truth and point out hypocrisy and yes a black genocide.
What about other races aborting??? That genocide too? Rather abort than have a child grow up and grow into a miserable / crazy Kanye
Kanye crying about almost aborting his daughter probably saved thousands or tens of thousands of black babies and also white babies from abortion.
Democrats abortion stance of having abortions freely until 9 months is immoral and abortions should be limited and regulated much more than they are.
Sale of baby parts from aborted babies that Planned Parenthood does should be banned.
Vote Trump and Republicans to make partial birth abortions aka abortions at 4-9 months harder to get and even illegal if supreme court allows it.
In partial birth abortions the doctor cuts up the skull of the living baby inside the womb and then the woman gives birth to a dead baby.
All these immoral idiots on this comment section that support killing babies are most likely liberal retards who think just because something is law that it’s right
So you got Kanye’s vote? MAKA. Make America Kanye again!
Don’t you mean Kanye’s got his vote? You conservoturd liar?
Shut up please, trying to label someone for their views is pretty much just ignorance
How can it be ‘genocide’ nobody asked nobody to bang raw take your meds and rest in peace
