Why Kanye’s Comments Are Significant
IWB ^ | Daniel Carter

Posted on 04/27/2018 10:28:11 AM PDT by davikkm

Kanye West is no stranger to controversy. After Hurricane Katrina, Kayne went on live TV to tell the world that President Bush didn’t care about black people. At the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, he ruined Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech by jumping on stage and telling the world that Beyoncé should have won. Now, Kanye is stirring up the most controversy yet by telling the world he likes President Trump. Here is the tweet to prove it:

You don't have to agree with trump but the mob can't make me not love him. We are both dragon energy. He is my brother. I love everyone. I don't agree with everything anyone does. That's what makes us individuals. And we have the right to independent thought.

He’s still a whack-job, but at least he stood up for independent thinking.

I don’t really care what Kanye West has to say about anything. But as the late Andrew Breitbart once said, “Politics is downstream from culture” and Kanye is an icon of our (very debased) culture.

If he sparks independent thinking, especially among minorities, that could be significant. And the left cannot allow that. They view minorities (especially blacks) as their property, after all.

The Democratic party may lose a substantial amount of power if it loses the minority vote.

This statement is inaccurate. The Democratic party will lose a substantial amount of power if it loses the minority vote.

I don’t think its a big deal. So a celebrity (and a black one at that) wandered off the democrat plantation? Its bound to happen once in a while.

People are treating him like Andrei Sakharov, and he’s not.

And they only need lose about 4,000,000 votes nationwide, out of some 130,000,000 voters total. That’s just 3% of the electorate.

If Dems lose even a quarter of the black vote, they cannot win a national election until something else big changes. There are also a lot of whites who write off the GOP as racist. Just a few of those will also tip the scales for a long time to come.

Very likely his comments will resonate with many of his followers, especially those who now have jobs and see a future. That is was scares the masters. They are losing control of the message and their slaves. Can’t have that.

Wake up and smell the coffee!

Name me one, JUST ONE PERSON/CELEBRITY, whom lots of brain dead people follow and idolize, in the entertainment business, who has gone against the faaaaaaaaaar lefties?

THERE ISN'T ONE, IN RECENT MEMORY !

Younger people, who don't really have the education to understand anything and rely on TWITTER, late night T.V. shows and "celebrities" for their news/info, just got the shock of their lives; especially blacks! Will this wake up some of them? Probably; though they're sheep and will need some more prodding to get fully influenced!

How many stayed home in 2016 rather than support Hillary? How many stayed home 2010 and 2014 as BHO was not on ballot?

Chances are they will stay home this Fall as well?

Superman, no less. BTW, he lands sometimes on Fox & Friends, even once or twice as anchor. As to IQ, this Cain plays in another league than that Kayne

And that man, whoever he is, has millions and millions and MILLIONS of stupid, drooling followers, does he?

Oh come on...

Look, I don't listen to nor follow the current so-called "music" scene, have NEVER watched Kayne's wife's T.V. show, know very very little about any of those people, but even I sort of know who Kanye is. ;^)

And as far as I'm concerned, Steve Reeves is the ONLY "SUPERMAN" ! :-)

“Come on” what? There are millions more people in the US and all over the world who have watched Dean Cain’s Superman series than those who listen to Kayne West. And Cain has nearly one million twitter followers, so yes, he is a celebrity.
I’ve know Cain for years, and never heard of Kayne whose name sounds more like a rowing boat than a babbling clown to me. So your argument “I sort of know who Kayne is” is worth peanuts.

But well, just teasing you. I love Kayne’s “love for Trump”, just the idea that he drives leftists crazy and hysterical is terrific.

You aren't being "funny" and certainly NOT clever!

Your argument, re Cain, is not only without any merit, but plain old STUPID! So Cain has almost one million followers world wide, does he? And you compared him to West who has 10s of millions of followers? LOL

Go pull someone else's chain; you just got owned and badly!

Not only that, but more importantly IMO, KJayne said he likes what Candace Owens is saying. She is an utterly awesome, very articulate black Conservative. I’ve been watching all her stuff on YouTube:

Check it out, it’s great! Kayne picked a good one!

“And we have the right to independent thought”.

Apparently not
