Kanye Kardashian Komments:
To Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, New York Times, and any other white publication. Please do not comment on black music anymore.— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 15, 2016
--------------------------------------I love love love white people but you don't understand what it means to be the great grandson of ex slaves and make it this far.— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 15, 2016The system is designed for colored people to fail and one of our only voices is music. One of our only ways out is music.— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 15, 2016
Great-grandson of ex slaves, eh?
He's lucky the Kardashians took him in, and are raising his biracial son and daughter, like Arnold and Willis got lucky with Phil Drummond with Kimberly extending a hand and providing shelter. (*sarcasm*)
Kanye heard the siren call of the wealthy white women in the Big House, and their promotional skills helped him create a fashion business to supplement his work in music. Set for life now, he is, and his children too...
He's covered if the "colored people" fail to continue to respond to his music now that he's seen as a little less than authentic, party hopping with the white people and overspending once he was able to climb out of the suburban Oak Lawn ghetto where his mother, the English Department chair at Chicago State,* raised him alone while his father, once a Black Panther, remained behind in Atlanta.
(Funny, I never thought of Oak Lawn, Illinois -- my birthplace -- as a ghetto. Nor was the South Side in 1968 when my parents brought me home from Christ Community hospital and intended to raise an intact family there. Of course, racial reparations intervened in 1972: less affluent and newcomer whites were forced from our homes via predator realtors to cede the territory to incoming black people, who coveted our homes, schools and neighborhoods for themselves alone. No whites wanted or welcomed. It's a black battleground there now: kids get shot up just playing outside or walking home from school... the structures still stand, but the community overall seems to have surrendered...)
Kanye is covered if the colored people fail to continue to respond to his music, now that he's seen as a little less than authentic, party hopping with the Hollywood people and spending money like it's going out of style.
Despite his self-reported financial problems (he's got a call out to Mark Zuckerberg and the other tech CEO's for financial help), Kanye sees himself as a kingmaker in the world of music, even taking credit for Taylor Swift, who won big, again, at the Grammys last night.
On his recent Tidal-released album The Life of Pablo, Kanye West took a left-field shot at Taylor Swift.
“For all my Southside niggas that know me besthe raps on the track “Famous.” Kanye allegedly asked Swift for promotional help and called "to ask Taylor to release his single ‘Famous’ on her Twitter account. She declined and cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message," her rep says...
I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex
Why? I made that bitch famous
God damn, I made that bitch famous,”
Who you gonna trust?

* Where I come from, that's a very good job No doubt she provided young Kanye with security from an early age, supporting him so that he was able to succeed with his musical career, instead of hopping into the workworld at 18 or 21, like most people in the working-class southwest surburbs do (or did, back when there were real jobs in America for young people.)
Why pretend that his mother too failed him; why slam Taylor's Swift's talent and popularity; why threaten publicly to cheat on your wife, who just blessed you with two children? Boy's got ongoing issues with strong women, I think...
Taylor Swift has the better approach:
Know hope, Kanye -- great-grandson of ex slaves, son of a Panther -- know hope.“As the first woman to win Album of the Year at the Grammys twice, I wanna say to all the young women out there: there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success, or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame, but if you just focus on the work and you don’t let those people sidetrack you, someday when you get where you’re going, you’ll look around and you’ll know that it was you and the people who love you that put you there, and that will be the greatest feeling in the world,” said Swift.
Break those self-imposed chains... yes you can!
You don't need to beg wealthy CEO's for money to bail you out, just learn to live within your means, provide for your own, and work for a better tomorrow for yourself, independently.
In a fresh crop of posts, the @KanyeWest account issued direct pleas to Zuckerberg, chief executive of Facebook Inc, and Larry Page, Alphabet Inc.’s CEO and the co-founder of Google, asking that they funnel some cash into his ideas:
Mark Zuckerberg invest 1 billion dollars into Kanye West ideas
He should swallow his pride, stop tweeting, and share his problems with is wife, privately, at home. Together, I am sure, they can overcome this financial setback and help his children have a brighter tomorrow. It's worked for others, it will work for him too if he can commit to his own family and follow through over the years it will take to raise them in a place of strength.
John 14:2: My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?(and if you're not a believer or a God-fearing man, there's always the latest political savior to turn to: many in his boat are turning to Bernie Sanders as the latest promised one, I am told. You've got to invest your time and put your faith in something bigger..._but beware those false prophets.)
