Kanye

[MosheFeingold]

Is this a brilliant publicity stunt?

Have the writing of Walter E. Williams legitimately changed his mind?

Have the Kardashian shrews ruined him?

Was Rep. Maxine Waters out of line for saying he "talks out of turn"?

Is Dr. Phil right that he's crazy?

What say ye?

1. It's a publicity stunt but it's not brilliant....

what I say is, please go away Kanye, we don't care.

[MosheFeingold]

2. Ah, but if it sells albums . . .

So, one vote for "shut up and sing," to quote the Dixie Chicks.

3. You can remove the singing part for me. nt

[MosheFeingold]

7. I can't honestly opine

I don't know, one way or the other, what he sings.

More of a Frank Sinatra/Tony Benet/Sammy Davis or Klezmer type myself.

10. Solid list.

4. My son and I were talking about this this morning

He seems to think it is a publicity stunt. I said, publicity stunt or not, if the Crips aren't in on it, they're going to, as I read, "f*ck his ass up".

5. Kanye is always about Kanye.

Full disclosure, I am not a fan of the man's work.

But even so, he has always seemed to be incredibly narcissistic. I suspect this is more about him wanting the spotlight to be on him, whatever the reason.

6. Kanye explained ...

Insisting that the legal, centuries-long practice of slavery in America could never have limited his personal or artistic ambitions, Kanye West stated Wednesday that if he had been born into captivity, he would have simply escaped the plantation on his motorcycle “the first chance [he] got.” “If that slave…

12. That's hillarious

I like the link re: "world suddenly concerned about black man's opinion."

Says more about the cult of celebrity age we live in, than anything.

8. I think it's hilarious that Trump supporters say celebrities should stay out of politics.

But then when Kanye said "slavery is a choice" and went on Infowars suddenly they want more of this!

[MosheFeingold]

9. They're not as stupid as you think.

As Democrats we will not win elections if the black vote is divided. Period.

So they are trying to break that up.

As un-serious as Kayne may be, this is a serious issue.

[Initech]

11. Oh I totally agree.

What I was pointing out is that their hypocrisy is absolutely stunning here.

[MosheFeingold]

13. Well

Would you expect anything less?

[Initech]

14. Honestly nothing surprises me these days.

I mean they literally went on Fox News last night and said that Trump paid off Michael Cohen and nothing is going to happen. So that said I'm not surprised in the least that Kanye is a Trump supporter. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if anyone in that family he's married to is.

15. You may not know but Kim, Kanye's wife, is trying to get a woman relsased from prison

Kanye might be trying to butter trump up to help facilitate this

[MosheFeingold]

16. I did not know that.

Completely new angle.

Kim Kardashian West is working on a presidential pardon for a 62-year-old great-grandmother serving a life sentence for a non-violent drug offense.

ABC News confirmed that West has spoken with President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner about the pardon and release of Alice Marie Johnson, who has been in federal prison since October 1996, after she was convicted in a drug trafficking case.

18. Kanye's greatest hit was, "George Bush doesn't care about black people"
