Kanye West wouldn’t be Kanye West if he didn’t stir up some controversy. On Saturday morning (April 21), the often elusive Hip Hop giant, who recently returned to Twitter after a long hiatus, tweeted about conservative commentator Candace Owens, causing an uproar on the social media platform.
“I love the way Candace Owens thinks,” West wrote.
Owens — a staunch supporter of Donald Trump — replied, “I’m freaking out. @kaynewest ….please take a meeting with me. I tell every single person that everything that I have been inspired to do, was written in your music. I am my own biggest fan, because you made it okay. I need you to help wake up the black community.”
As some people struggled to make sense of his sentiment, others were vocal about their support for Owens and applauded West’s “free thinking.”
But then there were those who were outspoken about West’s seemingly anti-black “policies and positions,” and questioned his sanity. Strange Famous mastermind Sage Francis even claimed there’s a throne reserved for him in the sunken place, a reference to the psychological thriller Get Out.
Perhaps those simply begging for wife Kim Kardashian-West to prevent West from tweeting and imploring him it to stop altogether have the right idea. But with a new solo album and collaboration with Kid Cudi — Kids See Ghost — both coming in June, this likely won’t be the last people hear from Kanye West. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
Its kinda shocking how blantanly racist SOME black people are. Great Article
Actually, it’s kinda shocking how some black people can support blatantly racist whites, kind of reminds me of the Dave Chappelle skit, where he’s blind and doesn’t realize he’s black, hollaring White Power at a Klan meeting.
What blantanly racists whites you talking about. This Article is about Kanye West and Candace Owens. None of them is White, none of them supports white racists or Klan Members. You live in a racist bubble, sir. Where you lying yourself the World how you would like to see it so you can actually make a point but thats not working in the real World.
And some whites ain’t racist? Goes both ways
Yeah I know. Racists come in all sizes and colors but this article isnt about Wypipo. Its about blacks being racist about People having an Opinion and an own mind to think rationally. There is also a price drop for Rice in China right now I havent it mentioned it before though since the article isnt about it 😉
so kanye is back to say stupid shit??? no fucking way
I’m never surprised about the simpleminded people who attack freethinking Blacks, including myself, when they don’t fall in line with the Democratic strategies quo. I’m glad that Kanye is waking up and realizing that the Democrats want to keep Blacks impoverished and ignorant so that they can have a victim class that blindly votes for them.
When Blacks were conservative, 50-60 years ago, we were actually doing BETTER than whites by some economic metrics, and our families were functional and healthy.
That all changed when LBJ became President.
“I’ll have those n*ggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years.”
— Lyndon B. Johnson to two governors on Air Force One
Meant that for Haywood.
Democrats have owned the black vote for 60 years and in that time have destroyed the black family unit and turned urban black communities into high crime sh.itholes. When I started thinking for myself, I realized that the vast majority of black celebrities are puppets for white liberals and simply parrot and promote the degenerate agenda of Democrats, in exchange for brownie points.
You’re not wrong about anything you’ve said about Democrats but what on earth makes you think Republicans are the answer? Forcing everybody into this democrat vs republican duality is just how rich white men stay in power. At the end of the day they don’t really care because whoever wins democrat or republican, it’s still some fat rich white guy calling the shots. The parties distract everybody with insignificant social issues like abortion, sex education, or drug policy to make us ignore the fact that there’s no meaningful difference between their economic policies. Policies designed to enrich middle class and wealthy whites at the expense of minorities and the poor. Republicans have repeatedly tried to suppress black voting power through district gerrymandering, every single time there’s a new census they take another crack at it. They hate blacks just as much as the democrats don’t put your faith in them. Vote the way Huey did. Vote communist.
Hahaha! You are a fucking idiot for saying that. You are probably like the other people who support Antifa and that bs.
Nothing wrong with a blavk man or women supporting republicans or conservatives. My issue is that kanye seems to support trump. Trump is not a republican or conservative. He is a racist psycho. Remember when kanye met with trump. After he won with blonde hair and blue contacts? Kanye has lost it:/
Trump is not racist and only incredibly stupid people believe otherwise. He’s already done more for the country than Obama did.
You are downright delusional. Let me know when trump pulls a country out of economic ruin
Yo
Have you seen the dow? the employment rate?
That’s the one thing you can’t even argue on about him, economy has been BOOMING under Trump
3 of the top 5 biggest drops (including the top 2) in stock market history happened this year.
A volitaile presidency. A volitaile market.
Correction: Volatile
It’s true that the past few months have been more volatile, but its misleading to say that any of the biggest drops have happened this year. On a point basis, that is true, but that is not how the stock market calculates those things, they do it in terms of percentage. In terms of percentage losses, none of the biggest have occurred this year. Nevertheless, the DJIA went up 5,000 his first year, which is a record, and then there was a correction period which appears to be over. That is just the stock market, the economy is doing about as good as it ever has, and economists pretty unanimously agree that Trump’s policies deserve credit (if you don’t believe me, look up the Wall Street Journal article in which they compare Trump and Obama’s policies with a survey of economists, Trump does better in every category). Sorry that you hate Trump and want to see him do bad, but this is the reality of the situation.
When you push through a corporate tax cut that no one can afford and deregulate financial transactions and put corporate cronies in control of regulatory bodies like the EPA and SEC, yeah that’s gonna give speculative markets a boost. But that doesn’t mean anything to the average worker. Their wealth isn’t tied to corporate profit, it’s tied to their wage. And wages have been effectively stagnant since Trump took office. Companies are making more money yes, but they’re not giving it to their workers so who cares? And if you want to know how ignorant Trump really is about economic policy just look at the current tariff standoff. Trump even screwed his base because when the Chinese retaliated with tariffs they singled out industries that backed Trump in the election. Agriculture especially. Then Trump made another idiot move when he tried to threaten the Chinese with rejoining the TPP. Even though when the US backed out of TPP negotiations the other countries stripped everything that was favorable to US corporations before signing it. And Australia already said that there would be no renegotiations, if the US wants to participate they have to sign the stripped down version. Xi and the Chinese are laughing at Trump right now because of how stupid he is. They just instituted a 180% tariff on sorghum to put even more pressure on Trump. Chinese are not gonna back down, Wall Street knows this that’s why the markets have been going down the past couple weeks. The markets are only as stable as they are because some still believe Trump is gonna back down to save the people who voted for him. If Trump doesn’t back down the markets are gonna crash harder than they did under Bush in 07.
Wages haven’t gone up but salary workers got bonuses across the board as a direct result of the money big corporations are saving because of the tax bill. And unemployment went down a few extra points because of it too. What you said is just patently false, they are giving the money back by hiring more people.
As for his tariff stand off, you are probably right that it is ignorant economic policy, but the plan is to get the Chinese to back down and renegotiate, not to have a 25% tariff forever. And didn’t Obama put a 300% tariff that nobody ever talked about, but when Trump does one for 25% it becomes the end of the world? By the way, you say the Chinese won’t back down, you must have missed the news last week that they already did.
Says the asshole wearing a MAGA cap
Kanye is one of my favorite rappers. But I learned a long time ago to not listen to anything he says outside of music lol and that included fashion lol
Candace Owens has never taken an anti-black position. As much as people love to tell themselves that conservatives hate black people, the truth is that they want a tolerant and diverse society just as much as liberals do, they just see it from the pragmatic standpoint that you can’t just shame people into not noticing patterns. If people have experienced far disproportionate violent behavior from one group, no matter how liberal they claim to be they will absolutely profile on some level, it is a natural psychologically conditioned response. The answer is to stop the disproportionate violent crime, not to call people who react to it bigots until they stop. Candace Owens talks about how she was a liberal until this unfortunate reality dawned on her. There is nothing “coon” ish about seeing it from this perspective, the genuine underlying yearning for a better world for people of color is still there, and the word “coon” implies that she is saying the things she says to benefit herself at her community’s expense, which is utter nonsense. Too many black people have trapped themselves in a pattern of toxic group think in which any criticism of the collective race should be met with hostility, even if there is a sincere desire for improvement behind it. Candace Owens is right on most things she talks about, and Kanye is brave for admitting it knowing that weak-minded people will falsely accuse him of selling them out.
He still mad Obama called him a jackass
Ya’ll a bunch of dickriders debating on This web site when 90% of you punks couldn’t stand in front of people at a community meeting in your area speaking on anything you stand for. Can’t believe Im spending my Saturday night reading this.
Speak that truth Big Vaughn
Fuck you Vaughn!!!
@Haywood
I don’t put my “faith” in Republicans. My faith is in the Almighty. I’m an independent voter. And if I’m going to trust a notable Black political figure I’d pick Thomas Sowell over Huey Newton anyday. Communism/Socialism has failed every time it has been attempted. In the last century, over 80 million people have died under communist/socialist rule. Look up the destruction caused by Stalin, Lenin, and Hitler (Yes Hitler was socialist. Nazi’s were a socialist party who enacted socialist policies similar to what modern liberals advocate in sh.itty healthcare, sh.itty regulation of the economy, and word policing aka censorship.). Also look up the communist dictator Mao Zedong and his so called “Great Leap Forward” which led to the starvation of tens of millions of people. Also research the Communist Khmer Rouge and how they butchered nearly half of the 8 million people in Cambodia. Communism is the most destructive system ever devised in human history, and I will never support it.
If any rapper ever should have died prematurely it is Kanye.
The man already cool with Trump
Liberlism is a mental disorder
Define Liberalism fuckbwoy
Your reaction says it all you mark ….
Liberalism is the new fascism
Kanye lost his mind along time ago once you sell your soul being Uncle Rukus is the only thing left!!!!!!
could his tweet be read as sarcasm?
They try to Push this liberal conservative bullshit on us like we supposed to give af. Don’t label me with none of that fuckboy shit
I’m not Black, I’m Kanye!
“Anti-black policies”?? The definition of “anti-black policies” and oppression is liberalism. It is terribly sad to see blacks use racist and hateful terms against another black man, simply because he has a different point of view. Yet then the white man will be blamed for all problems. That hate amongst each other is a scary disease. Candace Owens and conservative blacks have a frame of mind that you can become anything you want to be in this country, and that you are not a victim. Whereas the large portion of liberals today have a “poor me” victim mentality and seek dependency from the government. We don’t want ever want to hear whites call blacks n***er, but blacks will be quick to call each other blacks c**n because 1 doesn’t conform to the same opinion that they’ve been taught and told to have for decades.. Pathetic.
Nope, that’s not the problem. It’s these tired ass 1986, Ronald Regan created stereotypes about black people and welfare that fools like you keep pushing. What facts do you base this on? And for the record, when a man like Filando Castille is shot inside his car, in front of his 4 year old daughter, he is indeed a victim. You can’t “be anything you wanna be” when you’re dead. FOH!
Ether. Tell em
What stereotype about blacks and welfare was just pushed? Enlighten me.. What does Philando Castile and his daughter have to do about anything? That may be the most stupid attempt to prove a point(whatever point that is) in the history of stupid points. I see now we’re taking it from Candace Owens & Kanye West, to alleged police brutality. I’m happy you are proud to be a victim, I will never treat myself or raise my children to be such. Stop making excuses. And yes, that shooting was unfortunate, but if we’re so afraid the police are gonna kill the black man, then why not listen when the cop says not to reach for something? Common thing in the majority of all these police killings is either fighting or not listening to lawful orders, which comes from a gross feeling of entitlement which can be derived from the victim mentality that plagues so many …. So kill all that noise and have responsibility of self……..
First of all, who TF are you to call me victim? Do you even know what racism is? Part of it is believing you have pre-determined the behavior of me or anyone else of color. The steroptype being pushed 8n the other comment is that blacks are trained sheep “Liberals” and all live on public assistance. Remind me again what you so called conservatives bring to black America? And when it comes to police shootings, I can bring back 100 VIDEO examples of white people not following police commands and living to tell about it. Anymore questions?
Damn Fam, you got him all the way the F*ck outta here with that one. Nice Bars!
Candace Owens and people like her receive money to speak to “whites” about how blacks are overly sensitive and self victimized.. The messaging has no substance if the people that you hope to resonate with it is not receiving it directly..Fox News.. suburban town halls and public universities with 96% white attendance is not the people you should tell this to. All the while, generalizing the black experience as a fictional fairy tale that they paint from stories told by blacks from previous generations.. I’m not saying she is wrong because I agree with some but go into black neighborhoods or HBCUs and speak about this stuff…your Audience shouldn’t be the unintended audience
“People are freaking out because somebody has an opinion that doesn’t conform to the sheepish status quo” could be your headline 5 times a day if you wanted it to be
The only conservative stances I agree with is immigration, nationalism, and the promotion of traditional families. I also don’t support the neocon war policies of financial schemes to take wealth from the common man.
I don’t support the racist neocons but blacks shouldn’t trust liberals either. They’re both just using you for their agendas. Blacks should set their own agenda. None of either side care about blacks. Obama did nothing for blacks
Facts cuz 13%/100 is good numbers to win elections if you separate yourselves right….
13 percent has more power than you think. If Blacks registered as independent or created their own political party they could do some damage. They don’t necessarily have to run politicians. Plus politics is one of the upper levels of the floor. Group economics
is funny how americans got divided by trump, now everybody thinks they knows some politics and they stick to either democrats or republicans when two years ago nobody gave a flying fuck about any politics, but thats america and that the president that they deserve, a bunch of fucking emotional dope addicts with no discipline to keep a steady job or believe in god
Kanye West is forced to take a position that fits and justifies his lifestyle.. he’s live with a white women who is the epitome of what it is to privileged.. Porno tape got her so famous that she is trending with the likes of Beyonce…Kanye West has a right to an opinion but his intentions are suspect.. why even do music anymore.. if you know what you say is divisive to the point you are mocking blacks
Candace Owens is a queen.
On the fence with this one as I have never really heard of her until now…I went online and saw a few topics about her as well as a few of her thoughts on certain things and some I agree with and others I don’t.
Yall big mad huh? Kayne is on the right track — the jig is up
I’m a COON
What’s wrong with the Candice girl, I watched a couple of her videos and she isn’t to be 100% sided with but some of the things she shares ain’t exactly dumb, or out of context, they are just her opinions like Tariq has opinions and all of his views aren’t bad nor are they 100 percent, so we Blacks should stay in a bubble for eternity right?
