In 2013, Kanye West set about on what appeared to be a one-man mission to reappropriate the Confederate flag, long considered by many to be a symbol of hatred and racial terrorism.
He was photographed sporting an MA-1 green-and-orange flight jacket; the flag was sewn prominently on the sleeve. Not only did West wear the patch on his jacket, he was photographed draped in the flag.
In an interview with Los Angeles radio station 97.1 AMP, West explained his motivation.
React how you want, West said. Any energy is good energy. The Confederate flag represented slavery in a way. Thats my abstract take on what I know about it, right? So I wrote the song New Slaves. So I took the Confederate flag and made it my flag. Its my flag now.

Dang, Rachael Dolezal needs an extension on her 15 minutes of infamy. That was way more amusing than Kanye West appropiating the confederate flag

I’m sick of that guy and the perpetually angry look he wears, though I enjoy thinking he found out somebody pissed in his cornflakes but he wasn’t informed until after he’d eaten them... He needs to get over himself, he’s young, rich and has a wife with the coveted XXXL butt. I had a chance to marry a low-IQ gal with a big fat ass just like KK but I drove away fast as I could. [Turns out she wanted me to impregnate and support her forever. *Shuddering*]

Making a fetish out of the Dixie flag, though at least he’s honest about it.

This no talent arse will do ANYTHING for attention. He’s not too much different than Dennis Rodman. Both are disgusting. Rodman, obviously, is more extreme. Yet there seems to be no shortage of white bimbos willing to be with crap like them.

I think he spilled the beans when he said it was the “energy,” the vibes.
There was another historical fellow who had an unhidden buzz for “energy” but to mention him invariably gets someone else mentioning “Godwin’s law.”
