Agreed. You can't take what a bi-polar person says as reality when they are manic.I read that West was diagnosed as having bipolar disorder about 5 years ago, although it's likely that he had symptoms long before he was diagnosed. I read that he decided not to take the types of medications that are usually prescribed for this serious mental illness. Having had family members with BPD and having cared for many patients with this disorder, some people with this disease do suffer from serious delusions, while others are able to control their symptoms fairly well. Medications usually help, but it's very common for folks with this disease to stop taking their meds. Let me put it like a former friend did, after she went off her meds and went off the deep end. I mean she really did some extremely dangerous, nutty things. Sadly, her ultra religious family thought she was demon possessed, but I digress. When Mr. Sohy and I saw her in a restaurant back when we lived in SC, we sat with her and asked her what was going on. She said she had gone off of her meds because she loved how it felt being manic. She said it was a better high than any drug. About two weeks later, she was hospitalized.
My point is that we shouldn't take what mentally ill folks say so seriously, especially when they refuse to take medications that will probably help relieve their symptoms to some extent. However, what West said has given more attention to the extreme rise in anti semitism in the US. Perhaps that's the positive side, as people need to know what's going on when it comes to hatred and prejudice.
Ye needs help and the rest of us need to stop giving him so much attention. Mania sometimes seems to be linked to narcissism. At least it appears to be that way when it comes to people like Ye, and Musk, not that I want to think about what will happen to Twitter now that Musk owns it. That line from Ferris Bueller keeps haunting me. "I weep for the future".
Exactly. It gets tricky being a fan of someone that you know or think you know information about. I love Bob Dylan who seems to have been a real dick and possibly physically abusive to his wife; Michael Jackson--enough said. I admit I like Mel Gibson as an actor but after his antisemitism became so publicly known, I've avoided watching his films. It's easier when I am not much of a fan--a number of less favorite entertainers are easily ignored by me because of some very public offensive to very offensive behavior/opinions spouted. If one starts including authors and artists.....the list gets long very fast.That does not mean that I am not furious at the antisemitism just as I am furious at the racism and other bigotries promoted by Trump and his ilk. Furious, sick to my stomach, sick at heart. It's beyond reprehensible. And it's poisonous and contagious. We have got to stop this hatred. I believe it can only be stopped by knowledge, understanding and love and acceptance.
And one way to stop the hate is by not assuming folks agree with Kanye because they are a fan of his music.
No one who knows anything about Kanye West has ever claimed that Kanye West doesn't say shitty things. But that's no excuse for trying to emulate that conduct.It goes to show even the blacks with a history of oppression can be oppressive.
Last year in a conversation with a black guy I met he claimed the reason black music artists use offense and extreme language is because Jews control the muisc business. Jews force the language to increase sales.
The thing is Jews practice their religion and rituals without bothering anyone. Unlike the in your face Christians which are anoying to say the least..
It came out Mormons were baptizing dead Jews from the Holocaust in a ceremony.
So, let's see here. Opinion piece, opinion piece, opinion piece and an alleged NPR story I can't find anywhere that might have been an opinion piece.View attachment 40921
The top right headline does not apply, lol
Challenge accepted![/neilpatrickharris]Kanye (like Trump) doesn't have a monopoly on influence. I agree with many other things you said (on my phone plus never able to do a Bomb#20 level response but the black community has an extremely dynamic influence. I'll leave it at that.
Curious, who gives a fuck what he thinks. He posts this harmful nonsense all the time.So, let's see here. Opinion piece, opinion piece, opinion piece and an alleged NPR story I can't find anywhere that might have been an opinion piece.View attachment 40921

Is your point that Ye didn't say anything out of bounds for an opinion piece?
"I questioned the death of George Floyd and it hurt my people and it hurt the black people so I wanna apologise. Because right now God has shown me by what Adidas is doing and by what the media is doing - I know how it feels to have a knee on my neck now."
Lots of people do. You ignore him and belittle him at your peril.Curious, who gives a fuck what he thinks. He posts this harmful nonsense all the time.So, let's see here.

His post has inspired copycats. He has influence and this makes his statements dangerous. And now that Musk has taken Twitter expect him to allow him to continue to spew his hatred and inspire others. Don’t underestimate these fuckers.
Fair enough. No one cares about IIDB posters. But others here have implied that no one cares what Kanye says and that’s simply not true. The man does have influence.I was referring to who Arctish was responding to.Lots of people do. You ignore him and belittle him at your peril.Curious, who gives a fuck what he thinks.

One of the biggest tricks is the Jewish producer of the Malcolm X biopic with Denzel Washington glossing over Malcolm X's opinions late in his life. He did not become a softy as shown in that movie.Wait, so Nazis have a black leader now? Interesting.

This audio is enlightening
Also there is this picture of George Linclon Rockwell at a Nation of Islam meeting

So Malcom X is the leader of the Nazis?

"Leader" might be too strong a word, but there have always been only two qualifications to be a useful idiot... Kanye currently fulfills the first, and has always satisfied the second.
He did. They just don’t want you to know that.Speaking of Kanye again, if he's such a big influence on the black community you'd think Trump would have won the black vote.
