    Okay, so this is interesting in that Kanye West is correct in that the generic Left is essentially intolerant of genuinely independent thinkers and personalities. The singer actually likes President Trump. No accounting for taste, eh? I loathe Trump's personality and habits as president even as I acknowledge that so far he has been a pretty good president and has at least made a real effort to keep most of his campaign promises.

    To be honest here, I don't much care for Kanye West either; who has in my opinion a loathsome personality and habits as a public figure. Nonetheless he is correct in that the Left inclusively tends to pay only lip service to the concept of free speech and tends to reserve that right for lockstep style politically correct leftists only.

    The Left pretty much deified Kanye when back in 2004 he said after New Orleans was devastated by Hurricane Katrina, "President Bush doesn't like Black people." The fact that mayor Ray Nagin (Democrat) was the one who screwed up and not Bush went -- zip! -- right over leftist heads, of course. With those words a second or third tier Rap Artist was catapulted by the Left to fortune, fame, and glory. Nothing else mattered to them.

    So anyway, the fact that their sainted Kanye actually likes Trump makes them . . . insane with rage -- or at least makes them WANT to criticize Kanye; even though doing so automatically makes them -- by their own iron clad and rigid P,C. rules -- racist.

    I believe Rosanne has made being a Trump supporter cool and others are following suit.

    I believe another rapper came out in support saying black people don’t have to vote for democrats. Then there is Diamond and Silk testifying before congress how they were treated by FaceBook.

    Diamond & Silk Give Hank "Guam Might Tip Over" Johnson Hell Over His Claim That FaceBook Censorship Is No Big Deal Because They Can Still Sell T-Shirts.

    Either get back on the plantation or be demonetized.

    "The point I'm trying to make is you all have been bashing Facebook and you've been making a ton of money, isn't that correct?" Johnson pressed.

    "We didn't bash Facebook," Hardaway said. "We brought the light on how Facebook has been censoring conservative voices like ours... They won't let us monetize on Facebook. They stopped it for six months, 29 days. They limited our page."

    "And Youtube did also by demonetizing 95 percent of our videos for no reason at all," Richardson chimed in, "deeming it as hate speech."

    Johnson continued in his attempts to discuss the sisters’ profits, saying "you still sell merchandise."

    "Even if we sell merchandise that don't have anything to do with Facebook," Hardaway replied. "Facebook censored our free speech, and shame on the ones that don't even see that we have been censored."

    Hardaway then highlighted the double standard in the way Facebook treats conservatives like them.

    "When the Black Lives Matter people come in, everyone is up in arms," she told Johnson. "Let me just say this here, if the shoe was on the other foot and Mark Zuckerberg was a conservative, and we were liberals, oh all fences and all chains would have broke loose. You know it and I know it. What I find appalling is that these Democrats they don't want to take up for our voice because we support the president."

    "Democrats would be in the streets," Richardson agreed. "Democrats would be in the streets right now marching and calling him all types of racist.
    "

    Sure we're censoring your right to make money off free speech, but we've still permitted you to make a living by fishing, so what's your problem?

    Then Johnson got into this bizarre territory: That Congress was giving Diamond & Silk a platform at the hearing, and with that they could increase their profile and make money, so, in a way, wasn't FaceBook just helping them make money by censoring them?

    I think that was his point, but that's only a guess, the man is a retard.

    Johnson concluded his questioning with a comment that the committee is "giving you a tremendous platform with this hearing to make a ton of money when it's over."

    "That's right, and I hope everybody goes on Facebook and follows us," Hardaway replied. "Because that’s what it’s supposed to be about. It’s supposed to be about obtaining the American dream. We are African-American women. If illegal aliens can come over here and build businesses, why can’t we? We were born on this soil. You don’t have a right to silence my voice.
    "

    This idiot clown is saying is that only Democrats are allowed to make money by speaking their political views.

    But it's somehow sneaky or cheating that these two women are doing so.

    He'd have a different opinion if they were on the plantation, naturally.

    Only our leftists would genuinely believe that it's fair to censor Right of Center voices while literally anything goes whatsoever for the Left.

    Yeah - people are just laughing and saying there goes Kanye again. Hey, where's that episode of him on Dave Chappele's show? Cool! No rage - just amusement followed by jamming to his music.

    Never grant them the presumption of good intentions. They are in a State of Insurrection against the United States.
    They want you shut up, shut down, disarmed and wholly dependent on benefit cards they control.

    They criminalize disagreement.
    They want laws only to be binding on the Right.
    They want elections to only be binding if they win.

    We must face the situation their aggression puts us in and respond lawfully and appropriately.

    Pretty pathetic that the right has to get all happy about the one or two celebrities out of thousands that are desperate enought for a tiny bit of media attention to support their failing careers that they have to gin up a bit of attention by supporting Trump.

    If Republicans win just 20% of the black vote they win states like New Jersey, Connecticut, Illinois, Michigan, and Virginia

    The Democrats are dependent on keeping political control over the black community

    You are witnessing a tectonic realignment that could change everything

    Oh, he's right. Republicans can't win enough of the Latino vote to swing the states crucial to the Electoral College,
    but dig into the Black vote, just a little, and the Dems path to the 270 disintegrates. They need a solid monolithic turnout carrying like 95% of the Black vote to hold a whole pile of critical electoral college votes. That is why they are so frantically trying to import all these third worlders to replace the Black Vote.

    Crooked Hillary won African-American voters 89 percent to 8 percent. Obama carried them more like 95 to 4%. Obama won, Crooked Hillary lost. 89% of the Black vote for Democrats, is simply not enough.

    Nate Silver put together an interactive at this link that lets you play with this.

    https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-swing-the-election/

    As you can quickly see, Republicans increasing their share of the Black vote is WAY more important than Republicans increasing their share of the Hispanic vote.

    Exactly!!! He's got an album about to be released. The right falls for this **** all the time and it's hilarious.

    Kanye just propelled his internet interest to the moon. Have you even heard anything from Kanye in the last few years? No but now that he's an album about to drop boom front page of every news story!

    I think Kanye is an idiot but he's amazing at marketing himself.

    They trash Hollywood, actors and public figures every chance they get. Then they let someone like Kanye take them for a ride. Lol I'm just here for the laughs.

    It could actually happen. More and more African Americans are apparently cottoning on to the cotton, if you take my meaning.

    If you follow the gossip rags, he's rarely out of the news. Just his marriage to Kim Kardashian alone keeps him there. For the past few years he's concentrated more on fashion and suchlike rather than music. Not that I consider his stuff great shakes, but his Yeezy line has been a thing for a spell. I've actually seen a few kids at school wearing his stuff - which I find surprising, but hey - it ain't my money.

    And why does his clothing line sell? Because first and foremost people know him as a musician.

    IMO he is one of the most boring looking and talentless members of that elite group that is famous for nothing.

    This guy had huge balls attempting to sing Bohemian Rhapsody...



    hahahahhahaha...pitiful.

    Why does ayone care what this guy has to say again? And yes...the right are rather gullible just look at the large vat of orange snake oil they bought.

    "Musician" is a bit of a stretch, but I'll concede the point. Still, you did state that no one has heard from him in years when the thing is, he's never gone away. And actually he's did "Life of Pablo" in 2016 and it made a number of Best Album lists along with him doing tours well thruout the year and I believe into 2017 (could be wrong there). Granted some of his behavior was vintage crazy - meaning vintage Kanye - but he really hasn't been gone, just doing different things.

    Where's superbadbrutha? Here's another black man being told to shut up by white people.

    Surely he'll be on here any minute now to defend against these racist attacks...

    It's funny watching folks cheer Kanye as he hitches his star onto Trump's square-wheeled wagon. There's a pair for ya. Donald Trump and Kanye West. Two nuts in a shell. Two nincompoops in love with the sound of their own voice. You guys have fun with that and make sure to vote for Kanye in 2024.
