Kanye West, controversial rapper and husband of Kim Kardashian, sat down this week with radio host and former bodyguard Big Boy to discuss a new turn in the rapper’s career.
The “Gold Digger” star, who has previously tweeted provocatively on the subject of abortion, now appears to have changed his tune. This week, he dropped his album Jesus is King, a far different focus from the rest of his previous work. The star’s views haven’t just changed on religion and music, however. During the interview, the star discussed his newfound worldview, and on issues that affect the Black community.
“Democrats had us voting Democrat for food stamps for years, bro. What you talking about? Guns in the 80s, taking the fathers out of the home, Plan B, lowering our votes, making us abort our children…. I can’t tell y’all how to feel. But what I can tell you honestly is how I feel.”
Kanye isn’t alone in feeling like this. Black Americans are an increasingly significant part of the pro-life movement, with prominent leaders like Dr. Alveda King, Roland Warren, DJ Carter, and Christina Bennett. President of the Radiance Foundation, Ryan Bomberger, has called out Planned Parenthood for its eugenic philosophies, both past and present.
The largest abortion provider in the country, Planned Parenthood, has eugenicist past that has targeted African Americans. In 1939, founder Margaret Sanger notoriously wrote, “We do not want word to get out that we want to exterminate the Negro population and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.” And her legacy tragically continues today. Abortion still disproportionately targets Black Americans and minorities. Planned Parenthood has been caught on video accepting donations for racist and eugenicist abortions.
Kanye identified how different this is for him, and how his fans might not care for his new direction. “People said this is going to be horrible for your career,” he said to Big Boy. “Did you worry about that?” asked Big Boy. “Man, I fear and love God. When you remove the fear and love of God, you create the fear and love of everything else.”
Let’s say Kanye never had kids with a woman he truly loved...how would he have felt about it then?
Finally we get a little anti establishment rebellion in the rapper community.
Bless him.
It’s hard to believe how certain things have gone.
In a positive way.
???
What’s your point?
He can rebel all he wants because he’s worth a quarter of a BILLION dollars.
And that’s FINE with me.
I truly believe that Trump sounded more moderate through the earlier years because you have to if you want to get wealthy in Manhattan.
I LOVE when the real feelings and views and actions come out
pray for Kanye West
pray for those individuals associated with Kanye
I saw this news, along with the fact that Kim got baptized, along with the kids, when they were in Armenia for an Armenian holacaust commemoration.
That, to me is important, as originally, she freaked out when Kanye went public out of fear it would affect their cash flow. Now, she is seemingly onboard his spiritual journey and they are moving to their compound in Wyoming.
Kim is probably the prime influencer of young women. I have no idea where her sisters and mother are on all this, as I have never watched any of their shows, but for Kim Kardashian to become open about life issues, Christianity and Trump support shows she is at the very least honoring her husband.
Sometimes God uses the oddest people in the oddest ways. As I get older, the political, social and cultural story of humanity has begun to read like a genre novel. So many twists and turns.
Actually I think both have had genuine heart-changes that were not directly related to wealth and keeping up their profile. Both are from big cities after all, so it's only natural that they leaned more moderate in their 'youth.'
We’d be surprised at how many black people actually agree with Kayne. And yet most of them won’t say it out loud and most of them still vote for Democrats.
I don’t know much about Kanye West, but I can se that he has recently received some amazing grace. Hallelujah!
Again you’re wrong
I worked in manhattan 30 years and was NEVER moderate
It’s true though. The man had kids. No man is going to agree with abortion after having kids of his own.
He has been doing so since Genesis.
Well your guy Giuliani (who was a great mayor) and other NY Republicans typically are.
A lot of blacks are pro life but the media bends over backwards to muzzle them.
What difference would that make?
“Let’s say Kanye never had kids with a woman he truly loved...how would he have felt about it then?”
WTF?
