      I don’t see the reason to give him any attention. What he says has no meaning, even he doesn’t understand it.

      It’s a guy who’s bipolar and off his meds, there’s no argument or discussion to be had. Would you argue with a crazy homeless guy on the street?

      Because that truly is the stage that he’s at, he just has the income to keep himself afloat.

        We’re not the ones who are going to mimic him. His audience will use his words to rationalize their own bigotry. We need to pay attention to him because his audience will make themselves a problem.

          The racists are going to be the vast minority of Ye’s audience. Statistically negligible. Some people are just surface-level low-intelligence beatheads who like the music.

          R. Kelly had to go to jail to get people to stop listening to his music, and I don’t recall people advocating for pedophilia on his behalf.

      His meltdowns would be entertaining if they weren’t incredibly sad. I’m bipolar and have been in a manic state that would be deemed as detached from reality (usually just racing thoughts and insomnia; this one included delusions of persecution). He needs people in his life who can steer him towards help during these times and clearly has none or doesn’t listen to them.

    It boggles my mind how he still has such a large following of people that praise him and his music

    You just know that whenever anyone says, “I can’t be antisemitic/racist/etc because” they are are about to say some ignorant shit that counters the first half of the sentence.

          “I can’t be racist because, I hate absolutely every one, irrespective of caste/creed/religion/number and shape of genitals/color(also, color of genitals)/age/region/domain/kingdom/phylum/class/order/family/genus/species/base chemical composition/geometrical structure/level of consciousness/lifespan/definition of life, equally.”

          How about that.

        “because” is even worse than “but”. At least the guy saying “but” is acknowledging that the statements conflict and the same rule applies to everyone, even if they’re negating their first statement.

      I can’t be antisemitic/racist/etc because to save time, I only scroll through Bumble while I’m taking a shit. And they say romance is dead.

    You know, the least you can do if you’re dumb is not be a racist piece of shit. Dumb and racist is just too much
