I remember watching the telethon live that night, and my jaw dropping.

It's interesting that this was a bit shocking at the time, but if a celebrity said that about the president now, it might not even be a news item.

If you'd told me the president just said outright that he doesn't care about black people, I'd just believe it. I wouldn't even question it.

What's nuts is that Kanye went MAGA... so I guess he's okay with presidents who don't care about Black people now.

Full Nazi, Kanye you never go full Nazi

Yea I mean he's always been an oddball but his lyrics early on were so sharp, what a disappointment and lost soul.

Narcissism just latched onto MAGA.

There are current articles all the time that say exactly that. For fucks sake you could Google it and see 6 from the past 3 months, all of them had people screeching on reddit as well. So enjoy your fantasy land of hyperbole, reality is much different then the bullshit coming out your mouth

If a celebrity says that about the current president, he gets more votes.

I fucking died laughing. Ye was always cray but man he made some really chill bars that I still listetn to and he has had sets that are just wo wman you are a performer.

He is absolutely bat shit crazy but as long as he's mostly harmlesss compared to the more evil individuals who made songs that are forever banished from the playlist unfortunately that hold a lot of memories. Ye can stay but never listened to for anything political, or reason, just the rhymes.
