Why can't brehs here hold black men accountable? You want him to be powerful again so bad
First, I think the black community has held him accountable. A lot of us stopped fukking him well before his most recent comments.
I know I certainly did.
I want Ye to be held to account. But, I also don’t appreciate what the dominant society is doing to him. I know that nothing exists within a vacuum, fully cognizant of what’s implied by the public castration he is being subject to.
If Kanye and the black community are able to reconcile, however REMOTE that possibility is right now, I believe there’s an argument to be made that it would be a win against the dominant society.
They don’t want us to be supportive of Kanye. They don’t want us to forgive him. They don’t want us to entertain a dialogue with him. They want us to fall in line and join them in ostracizing him.
Just to be clear, we should not support him at this stage. We should not forgive him at this stage. We should not lend him an audience at this stage.
He hasn’t earned our forgiveness.
But, that’s a choice we should make on our own accord, not one made because we think that’s what white people want.
