Wicked Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 12 hours ago, St. Francis said: In regards to that pdf above, people do say that some Black men who only desire to date/marry out, especially to white women or c**n do so because they want what the white man has. They obviously can't turn white so they see having access to their women or sucking up to them as victory and that seems to be the case with Kanye. This is the same Kanye who did this below and it happened before the slavery comment too It's a great read if you have the time, Fanon was a great mind. That excerpt is from an entire chapter about kewning He also has a chapter before that on how Black women do the same, in a different way. It is about global protection & affirms their womanhood by having a white guy. (which has now manifested in the divestor movement, that echo the same statements in modern language). I don't mean to have highlights in the screenshots but this is my personal PDF and I annotate a lot. That slavery quote always gets me, even the "full quote" some stans say isn't bad; it is bad. I don't think we mobilize correctly (although I might be wrong about mobilization efforts in Africa, the Caribbean & the UK), which does have somewhat of an impact on how acts of anti-blackness are viewed by outsiders however, that has nothing to do with the oppression we've had to deal with in this country (or other countries in the Americas with an Enslaved population). Pointing the finger at other Black people rather than the powers that be for consistently stifling efforts we've made to uplift ourselves just another way for him to attempt to ascend to whiteness. Unfortunately for Ye that's not how it works, and he'll never get to that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share Posted October 28, 2022 VERY INTERESTING … how businesses jumping out they contracts, partnerships, and brand deals with Kanye from this spiral.

Theshigo Washidu Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Let's be honest, if companies took the initiative to drop Kanye because of his anti-Blackness, they would have faced backlash for that too . It would've been seen as non-Black people trying to dictate and police a Black man's words or actions in regards to his own community. If Kanye was a Black woman, everyone would have dropped him way before the anti-Semitic stuff. It sucks for Chrisette too because she faced so much scrutiny over performing for Trump (even though she probs did it for the money) while Kanye has openly endorsed that man, gone onto be way more kuneish and came out unscathed until recently.

Antisocialites Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Not a fan of their music but this is beyond horrible and tragic, damn. TMZ also showing the pictures of his dead body, they never change I swear. And let's not talk about the whites with their fake concern and their racist remarks. That guy posting a gif of Nene saying "the ghetto", they don't even hide it anymore, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunUpDoneUp Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Really funny watching people who were on the fence about whether black people can be bigots or not getting a reality check via kanye f'ing west of all people.

We should’ve held him accountable and went to Adidas, Vogue, and any other affiliated company, and said “Hey. We do not condone Kanye’s behavior or comments. If you care about your Black consumer base, you will cut your ties with Kanye”. You know what we did instead? Bought his slides. Do you know how many times I’ve seen them slides on our feet?

RunUpDoneUp Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Black people do this same song and dance everytime, I thought we put them to bed as far back as how beyonce was done, hell even Kendrick forever ago. That institution has ZERO credibility. Politics over art is Grammy manifesto. There ought to be no prestige in them for anyone who actually shapes culture. I'm still dumbfounded that 2pac had no grammies. Out of touch for decades and the century is new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Grammys been a popularity contest and for music that’s most appealing to the YTs/mainstream. Which is why I stopped watching years ago.
