Kanye West may believe he’s out of the “sunken place” but judging by a recent tally, it looks like he’s still there. A new CNN/SSRS Poll shows West is more popular among white people than non-white people.
The poll states 23 percent of people who identified themselves as white said they had a favorable opinion of ‘Ye, while only 20 percent of those who said they’re non-white feel the same. Meanwhile, 53 percent said they had an unfavorable opinion of West overall.
Interviews were conducted from May 2 to May 5, 2018 among a sample of 1,015 respondents. The landline total of respondents were 402 and there were 613 cell phone respondents.
The poll comes just weeks after West went on TMZ Live and made the statement that 400 years of slavery sounded like “a choice.” Of course, this caused a flurry of controversy and subsequently spawned the hashtag “#IfSlaveryWasAChoice.”
Prior to that interview, Yeezy made it clear he still supports Donald Trump, even posting a photo of himself wearing a Make America Great Again hat. He described both himself and Trump has having the same “dragon energy,” and referred to Trump as his “brother.”
West also aligned himself with conservative political commentator Candace Owens in a tweet stating he likes how she thinks. Owens then appeared with him on the now infamous TMZ Live interview.
Throughout the firestorm of contentious tweets, West dropped two singles, “Lift Yourself” and “Ye Vs. The People” featuring T.I. The former was deemed more of a masterful troll track for its non-sensical “scoopity poop” bars, while the latter was more of a debate on Trump between the Grand Hustle mastermind and Yeezy.
West is reportedly back in Wyoming wrapping up several albums he promised to deliver this summer, including Pusha T’s King Push, Nas’ next album and his own follow-up to 2016’s The Life Of Pablo. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
He supported trump. Duh. Obviously usa is majority white in which the majority voted for him. Kanye will do fine with there support n the kim k family fans. Sunken place is real.
Dude!
Didn’t this niQQa declare his interest on becoming president of the US?
Kanye was never hip hop, ain’t hip hop now, and never will be
If you consider the sunken place nothing more than having white approval, then sure. If you consider it a place where you do not have freedom of thought, then Kanye is one of the few black people who is out of it, and the idiot who wrote this article is in the deepest depths of the sunken place. What a stupid premise: Kanye is in a fictional state of hypnosis, and my evidence is that black people don’t like him as much as white people. Kanye is the only rapper smart enough to realize that Trump does not intend to do harm to the black community, and that the media desperately tries to convince people otherwise.
Ok, white guy.
Is NBC paying you though
Trump, is that you?
this is mostly a stunt to sell more records. not giving Ye a pass for recent comments but he knows what hes doing. coincidence that he says all this crazy shit when he’s dropping 2 albums? nah.
Kanye is a good boy.
Like probably most Artist that sell well. Rihanna, Beyonce, Drake, Kendrick etc. But still nice bait from your side though
Of course white boys love Kanye and Lil Wayne. Anyone who pushes their neo nazi agenda is someone who “gets it.”
That’s what he wanted all along. Congrats Kanye
White people the only ones that still buy records.
Maaaaan! Fuck white people! Kanye needs to get out of the sunken place for the culture!
Rick and Morty rules. Also, why am I not surprised that Kyle Eus-less posting another trolling article on Ye? Xxxtencion happenings must be slow lately.
No surprise there, he couldn’t get this famous with his own community buying the records and merchandise
ill let u in the secret. the only reason why anyone singer rapper actor in this country gets popular is from white people. its just facts. u cant be not liked by 70% of the country and expect to be anywhere near as famous or as rich as the people who have white fans. you just hate kanye cause he thinks different. maybe open your fucking mind and realize not every black person thinks alike.
Cause Obama did a lot for black people… Nothing but sheep.
Cause the previous 40 plus presidents did along for black people…white sheep
Uhhh… Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president, 1964 civil rights act, equal housing act, affirmative action, welfare, which I would actually argue keeps people down, not up… I can’t believe you said the first 5 presidents helped black people, and not after that lol. They were slaves then. Wasn’t until the 16th that they finally were granted legal freedom! Know your history friends. All black people should be pro gun. Keep your freedom from potential tyranny.
@Tommy Uhh fuck you & little celebrated rapist abraham cock-sucking, kiddie-fiddling lincoln. You dick-sucking little sissified political shill
Whattt lol? Eminem hasn’t been good since he quit drugs. I’m not a fan of either new music, but songs like No Mercy were super dope. Eminem hasnt had an amazing hip-hop song for a super long time… And his last album, Revival… Was just sad.
@Tommy
right…so now, all of a sudden, ”eminem is not good anymore” ??? lol shut the fuck up you weiner
“Woke” Black people are the most racist towards black people who think differently. White people don’t expect other white people to behave a certain way, but “woke” (lol, if you use that word good luck in life) black people expect other blacks to think and behave just like them. That’s racist.
“White people don’t expect other white people to behave a certain way”
You have alot to learn in life, and are evidently not qualified to have this discussion.
Lol good luck with your social science degree, have fun going through life feeling like a victim. Idiots more concerned with imaginary racism than they are legitimate classism are keeping poor people poor and rich people rich. I guess impoverished asians, Latinos, and whites don’t matter, only blacks. You’re a racist Shogun.
Lol, if making ASSumptions is what gets you through, ASSume away. You should probably look up the definition of what racist actually means while your at it.
White boys cry “SJW” any time they see other whites who support inclusion. Y’all love lying and saying anything that fits your agenda.
Good for him. Give that coon a watermelon. His next Yeezy shoes should be called MAGAs
Yeezy is catering to his audience. If the majority is white, then cool. Get yo money black man.
Culture vultures. Who even listens to Kayne anymore anyway. These Europeans have stolen from every culture on earth lol fact. If rap talked bout the demise of Europeans I doubt they would listen to it. They so quick to say who is racist when they invaded many lands. No matter how many of them listen to rap. They will never be part of black culture. Ya buy it. Give us your weak dolla. Cool. But these ppl know they have no culture but war. Which they enjoy and turn around and play victim. West is weak crying he had a operation. Lol
You’re a sad sack and what is wrong with the world. Attitudes like yours cause divide. Grow up and stop being a fkn dweeb.
The highest percentage of people listening to hiphop are white. Don’t try to fool the people about West’s connection with Trump, like all white people are behind Trump, which is the biggest BS of all time. This site is trying to tell that all whites are all racists. Nice try though…
The majority of whites ARE behind Trump. That can actually be verified by checking the election results. As for whites being the majority of hip hop fans… well, that’s not true. It’s just that black people don’t purchase the albums as much.
Who cares about kanye west? I was never a fan of his corny ass. Kanye just wants to sell more records that why he is saying all of these crazy things. Reality stars will say and do anything to grab attention. Kanye doesn’t care if he looks like a fool because it’s all about the money. Kim was robbed because she doesnt have any talent expect to shake her ass on t.v.. Kim and kanye are media whores. They will do anything to grab your attention.
Lol. Kanye. Everything about that guy man. From Amber Rose to Kim K. why be surprised ??
Of course he’s popular with white boys. He’s a neo-nazi supporter who loves black culture. He speaks to them.
Kanye is a troll specialist. He knows that the way to keep himself relevant is to say or do shit that will stir some sort of reaction and keep people talking about him. Like we’re doing now. It’s for that reason that I could never bring myself to be a fan of Kanye. His antics were too blatantly designed to get a reaction out of people and I just could never get with it. His early albums were dope, though.
IN THE FINAL STAGE OF SUNKEN!…SOUL HIS ENTIRE SOUL HIS MAMA ROLL TOSSING JUMPING UP IN HER GRAVE
Keep him, he is all yours. And wait til he starts to s**t on yall too. then what?
Then, you fcking grow a pair and let a man have his opinion. You’re a btch
HHDX is part of a conspiracy to target white people and spread anti-white propaganda. White people are evil. Everyone else is good. People that white people like are evil. In fact if white people like you, you are in the sunken place. Got the message sheep?
Eminem Is Officially More Popular With Black People
Eminem may believe he’s out of the “sunken place” but judging by a recent tally, it looks like he’s still there. A new CNN/SSRS Poll shows Walker is more popular among black people than non-black people!
Universalize the themes of this communication. Suppose an outlet smears a white dude for being very popular with black people, as if that is an extremely fucked up thing to happen. All I did was replace words like Kanye, white, and non-white, with Eminem, black, and non-black.
