"We are in genocide"
So, Kanye West — 2020 presidential candidate, rap artist, and (recently) self-described Christian — headed over to Texas for a conversation with Joe Rogan, and it was quite the ride. West talked about how he plans to create stadium churches; his brawls with the music industry executives; his (very American) path from hip hop to church and sort of back again; and his apparently very real political aspirations.
Despite accusations from the Left that Kanye West is running for president as the 2020 election cycle’s Jill Stein with an eye to screwing things up for Joe Biden, West dropped $3 million on his campaign last month alone. West assured Rogan that he is running to win—although he was pretty vague on the particulars. “It was something that God put in my heart back in 2015,” West told a surprisingly straight-faced and very secular Rogan. “A few days before the MTV Awards it hit me in the shower. When I first thought of it, I just started laughing to myself and all this joy came over my body, through my soul. I felt that energy. I felt that spirit.”
When Rogan suggested that he might want to take a shot at a governorship first like Ronald Reagan, West shrugged it off, clearly having none of it. “If it’s in God’s plan that part of my path is to be the governor then that’s fine, but my calling is to be the leader of the free world,” he replied resolutely. Trump’s team might be hoping that West voters act as a spoiler for Biden, but West clearly has his own plans.
West also referenced the comments he made about his daughter North at a rally in South Carolina back in July, where he cried onstage and admitted that he and his wife Kim Kardashian had considered aborting her. He had cried, he told Rogan, because he was “gut wrenched.” He noted that at the time they found out they were expecting North, he felt he was “too busy” to become a dad. (In July, he described the incident in raw terms, stating that he had suggested the abortion, but Kim refused: “I almost killed my daughter…My girlfriend called me screaming, crying. I’m a rapper. And she said I’m pregnant. She was crying.”)
“People saw this clip of me crying and some people didn’t know what I was crying about,” he told Rogan. “But I was crying about that there was a possible chance…that we—Kim and I—didn’t make the family that we have today. That’s my most family-friendly way to word that. The idea of [abortion] just tears me up inside, that I was part of a culture that promotes this kind of thing.”
He continued:
One of the major statistics on the subject of life is that the greatest advocates for the A-word [abortion] are men from ages 31-37. That's how old I was. I felt like I was too busy. My dad felt like he was too busy for me. We have a culture of that ... In our culture, we're doped up, and psyched out, and made to kill our children. We have to decouple the conversation of Planned Parenthood and women's choice. I'm Christian, so I'm pro-life. When I go into office, I'm not changing laws because I realize we live in an imperfect world and an imperfect society. What I will be presenting is a Plan A. We've already started working on a Plan A to change the connotation of orphanages, to change the connotation of foster care.In Kanye West stream-of-consciousness style, he moved right onto a different topic, and so unfortunately, we didn’t get to hear Joe Rogan’s thoughts on Planned Parenthood’s eugenic origins and abortion as a main destroyer of black lives—Rogan himself is pro-abortion, although he generally opposes late-term abortions. But once again, West indicated that he has been thinking deeply about abortion—not just because of his personal experience, but because he has realized that Planned Parenthood poses the greatest threat to his community.There were 210,000 deaths due to COVID in America. Everywhere you go, you see someone with a mask on. With A, the A word, A culture -- I'll say it one time, with abortion culture -- there are 1,000 Black children aborted a day. Daily. We are in genocide. More Black children since February than people have died of COVID. And everyone wears a mask. So it's a matter of where are we turning a blind eye to?
I’ll admit that, as I noted before, I’m very concerned about celebrity figures like Kanye West becoming icons for Christian causes. While West’s rambling interview does showcase the ADHD of a wildly successful creative mind, it also highlights something that strongly resembles a growing Messianic complex. Charismatic men with celebrity and wealth adopting Messianic complexes have cropped up before in American history, and it never ends well. But perhaps this isn’t that, and what we have is a musician using his celebrity to expose Planned Parenthood, talk openly about abortion, and urge his millions of fans to think harder and more clearly about the issue. I certainly hope so.
I used to think he wasn’t very smart. I was wrong.
Finally someone in the AA community is talking about the elephant in the room.

I tried to convince my son to vote trump, but couldn’t . But he’s not voting Biden. He cast his vot for Rocky Dela Fuente, and here in Cali, Kanye is his VP.
The idea of [abortion] just tears me up inside, that I was part of a culture that promotes this kind of thing...
I think it’s great that he says that. That he cried over it.
He doesn’t have a “Messianic” complex.
He’s Bi Polar I
I’m Bi Polar II. No shock there to those who know me on the board :)
Our responses on a given day may seem extraordinarily overblown regarding whatever topic we are talking about. And they likely are.
It is what it is.
But I’d rather cry about abortion than talk about it like a cyborg, which dems do.
If the murder of millions of babies a year isn’t worthy of our tears, then what is?
Just wow.
I heard/saw Kanya West’s impassioned statements about the abortion genocide and Margaret Sanger’s eugenics, etc.
He was very impressive and I was glad to hear him.
He was followed on Fox by Candace Owens who was also very articulate about the same subject.
Wish every African American person and every prochoice liberal could have heard both of them.
“Kanye West running for president under the Birthday Party”
ROFL..The ‘Birthday Party’.
That’s fine - so long as it’s Anybody But Biden. In fact, ABB is an easier sell to people who unaccountably hate Trump. Remember, they don’t have to vote Trump for Trump to win - they just have to not vote Biden.
I think he’s a smart guy, with a good heart. I’d rather not see him get mixed up with the likes of Joel Osteen, and hope he finds a true Christian mentor, but that’s another story.
He just seems a little too wound up at times, and at those times doesn’t seem to slow down enough to think things completely through. When that occurs, he seems to have his heart in the right place, but some of his “bouncing off the walls” behavior turns people off, and they might not hear how insightful his arguments are because of that. I suspect this happens because of his bipolar disorder. My mom was bipolar, and she was very intelligent, but when she was going through the manic side of the curve she could be really hard to reason with, and it was hard to get her to focus.
Anyone who has known someone who is bipolar understands that the person underneath the periodic manic behavior is not really the person that the disorder makes them appear to be. My mom’s bipolar behavior made it incredibly difficult at times for the rest of us in the family, and back then they didn’t really understand it as well as they do today. I still feel guilty at times for some of the things I said in response, or my frustration with her because of it. When I got older, I began to realize that she was perceiving the world through the fog of the disease, and that it wasn’t her fault for how it affected her behavior.
I hope Kanye gets the right treatment for the depression and manic episodes that come with this disease. Like my mom, I think he’s an intelligent, good-hearted person who is just trying to do what is right. God bless him for having the guts to put so much on the line to tell the simple truth that so many need to hear.
I didn’t know he was mixed up with Joel Osteen, ick. I also didn’t know Kanye had bi-polar disorder. Thanks for the info.

Don’t have to be a Mensa member to know that abortion is murder and murder is wrong.
The awakening of Black America is a process. They aren’t going to sound like the Tea Party overnight. We must be patient. Encourage them and pray for them. Mr. West has taken a huge step here.
Hell, I'd rather vote North before I vote Biden!! 😀
It’s the Margaret Sanger Black Baby Genocide.
On this issue he is right. To tackle as he puts it the A word we need a sea change in culture so that regardless of what laws are in place it becomes an unthinkable thing to do. Kanye is a step in that change.
Exactly,
Kanye’s Woke!
