Maxine Waters: Kanye West Talking ‘Out of Turn,’ ‘Should Think Twice About Politics’
Breitbart ^ | 1 May 2018 | by Tony Lee

Posted on 05/01/2018 9:00:14 AM PDT by ethom

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) reportedly blasted musician Kanye West on Monday evening for talking “out of turn” when asked about West’s recent praise for President Donald Trump. “Kanye West is a very creative young man who has presented some of the most revolutionary material in the African-American community. … But we also think that sometimes Kanye West talks out of turn and perhaps sometimes he needs some assistance in helping him to formulate some of his thoughts,” Waters at an Oakland event with members of the Congressional Black Caucus that pushed for more diversity in Silicon Valley. “We don’t think that he actually means to do harm, but we’re not sure he really understands the impact of what he’s saying, at the time that he’s saying it and how that weighs on, particularly the African American community – and for young people in general. … And I think maybe he should think twice about politics, and maybe not have so much to say.”

West created a firestorm last week when he tweeted that the “mob” cannot make him not love his “brother” Trump.

“You don’t have to agree with trump but the mob can’t make me not love him. We are both dragon energy,” West tweeted. “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.”

Trump thanked West for his complimentary tweet soon after Breitbart News White House Correspondent Charlie Spiering asked White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders last week at a press briefing whether Trump had recently communicated with the musician.

Who is this “we” she speaks of? Is that the group who gives Maxine her assignment on what to say?

Seriously, I doubt anyone could say as many stupid things as Maxine does on her own. It must be a group project.

YES! “Talking out of turn” illustrates Mr. West’s tweet, precisely.

Nobody white had the guts to utter anything like that, so the job fell to Mad Max to handle.

So, dictator Maxine Waters says freedom of thought and speech are not allowed to African Americans who do not fall in line with her position?

I agree. Especially regarding Hillary.

But Bill Clinton, Ted Kennedy, and Obama at least fake in their speech modality caring about people; while I didn’t live through Hitler, Lenin, and Stalin, these monsters had millions of people listen to their every word, and at least some of them had a knack of influencing people. But Maxine, Pelosi, and Hillary are just hags who repulse every time they open their mouth...kind of like that “comedian” Wolf. OMG is she shrill! Listening to these people is like listening to nails on a chalkboard!

This is hilarious. She’s proving him right with every word she mutters. They don’t understand they can’t win.

Kanye: as a black man I can have free thought, we’ve been shackled to allow only one opinion

Lefties: shut up! you have wrong thinking. Don’t talk until your message is vetted!

Kanye: thank you for the example

What is crazy is that they believe more of the same, with increased amplitude, will have their desired outcome but it is at a point where it will now have the opposite.

What is GREAT is that if Kanye were not influencing anyone she wouldn’t be saying anything. This is terrifying them and this lady just gets dumber by the day.

Poor Kanye has to turn his black card. African Americanism is determined by committee only. Science be damned. Maybe this is how Rachel Dolezal gets voted back in.

Just wow. She went full naked in front of everyone, completely exposed herself as one of today’s plantation masters.

Thank you, Maxine, for unlocking a great many shackles with that. Many blacks are now woke (mostly men, I wager).

Sounds like a veiled threat to me.


And on Twitter they openly called for the Crips to go hurt him (I believe the correct term is f him up). Yep, just like back on the plantation. Slave be learning to read, gonna get beat.

Same thing she tried to do to Diamond and Silk.


So let me get this straight. Black people have been correctly fighting for civil rights for 200+ years. But today, they fight NOT to have the same freedom of opinion for themselves as enjoyed by white and other races. They are desperately trying to be treated as a bloc of useful (voting) servants. What am I missing?

I thought freedom was a thing?

The song was “Let My People Go,” to freedom, not “Beat My People Into Lockstep Thinking.”

All she’s saying is black folk just need help formulating their thoughts.

Speaking of songs - looks like Kanye is on the move. New tune making the rounds on the rap/R&B/Hip Hop stations, Ye vs The People aka Kanye vs The People. It's like a debate put to music - Kanye on one side, another rapper named T.I. representing the other. Just heard it while ago while out in the car - the words are spoken really fast, but I did pick out Kanye saying something about "getting off the plantation". Wow - seems like he's not just sitting around waiting to be a target, he's pressing home the message. Looked around on the internet - of course the track is being derided by the usual suspects - but it's being played on radio stations all over the place.

Wow! Now just who's talking out of turn here?
