I truly hope he can keep his strength up for the long haul. They call it a ‘diatribe.’ He was simply talking to them and they didn’t want to hear it. Doesn’t make it a diatribe. LOL I am glad he’s hearing the President clearly!

“They bullied me backstage. They bullied me! And then they say I’m in a sunken place,” he said. “You want to see the sunken place? Okay, I’ma listen to ya’ll now — or I’ma put my Superman cape on, cuz this means you can’t tell me what to do. Follow your heart and stop following your mind. That’s how we’re controlled. That’s how we’re programmed. If you want the world to move forward, try love.”

Turning to the people gathered behind him on stage, West said, “Thank ya’ll for giving me this platform. I know some of ya’ll don’t agree, but ya’ll be going at that man ... and I don’t think it’s actually that helpful. I think the universe has balance. Ninety percent of news are liberal.”

He continued: “90 percent of TV, L.A., New York, writers, rappers, musicians. So it’s easy to make it seem like it’s so one-sided.”

Kanye is speaking truth to the fascist totalitarian Communist power.

Please forgive the double-ping.

But I have a feeling that this moment is a political tremor.

Things are on the verge of something massive. Just one small part, but at the tip.

I worry for him. If the Communist-Totalitarian-Fascist media-entertainment industrial complex can’t get Kanye West back on the plantation, they’re going to make sure harm comes to him. He’s a clear and present danger to these Satanic forces.

It would be like Reagan getting ad space in Pravda!

This is a tremor.

Good point. But isn’t it interesting that they tried to intimidate him back-stage?

I suppose they will try to destroy his reputation. But he obviously knows that.

NBC is Comcast.

Comcast hates Conservative America.

Dump Comcast.

When a leftist states his mind to a captive audience, it’s called “having a conversation”.

Chris Rock used up be somewhat fair-minded. I guess his career has gone downhill enough that he can’t afford not to criticize Kanye’s blackness if he still wants any kind of work.

He will never get on SNL again.

In the eyes of Lorne Michaels, what Kanye did was even more an unforgivable abomination than when Sinead O'Connor tore John Paul II's photo into pieces.

MountainWalker, I was very surprised by Chris Rock’s attitude. You are probably correct in the assessment of his earnings causing a change in his attitude. Sad.

He’s going to be fine. God’s already overcome evil. There is no match for the power of God and Kanye knows this and is not scared. This is a lesson for us all. We ALL need to be utilizing the power of prayer right now against the enemy you speak of.

The country of Belgium ignited its revolution because of a single performance of an opera.

Kanye West has a lot more fans than a Brussels audience circa 1830.

Btw. I love how you worded this . . .

Communist-Totalitarian-Fascist media-entertainment industrial complex

And combined it too with

these Satanic forces.

You lassoed the evil with these words perfectly.
