The fact that right wingers are cheering on his candidacy because they think he is going to take black voters away from Biden just emphasizes their racism and the fact they dont know Black people. Black people arent going to vote for Kanye just because he is black or that because he is a rapper. We are smarter than that.

(2,220 posts)Every black person I know thinks of Kanye as someone who put out a few good projects but really needs help. Or they just laugh at him and say hes crazy.

(1,206 posts)You say it in jest, but in this country with it's devotion to celebrity and social media 'influencers' you are frighteningly on to something.

(7,432 posts)He liked the feeling of real power. He wants more of it. It's not that he is interested in public service. Were he interested, he'd serve the public FIRST as an alderman or a city council member, then a state senator or rep, then a national office. He'd show his credentials with years of hard and loyal work. IOW, he'd follow the footsteps of a Stacy Abrams, a hard worker for her political party and the people of her state.
But West wants the power, and he wants it now. This is not good. And I'm confident that those who know who West is will see through his marketing ploy.
We're just now trying to rid our nation of one huckster. We don't need another.
