No because that would be a lie. I'm not mad at him hell you'll see me defending him in another thread. I will say that he mad a stupid ass comment, and needs to be called on it.
Because anything that doesn't sound like "fukk cac this or fukk cac that" or "white supremacy is everywhere and thats why black people can't do this/that" is a stupid ass comment on here?]

Racism and prejudice will always exist as long as different groups have to interact with each other

How much racism do you think a Icelandic person experiences in his 99 percent homogeneous country?

You think a Japanese person experiences racism in his own country? Or a Iranian in his own country?

This is the importance of building up Africa.

:mjpls:

Ain't this is coming from the same guy who screamed "Racism" when a few high-end fashion designers in Paris didn't immediately allow him to be apart of their world?

nikka was using Martin Luther King quotes just because they wouldn't touch his fabrics :mjlol:

There was that article in The New York Times at the weekend that talked about the lack of diversity in fashion, that there are not many black designers in fashion. Is that something that you think about?

Racism and the focus on racism is a distraction to humanity. It would be like focusing on the cousin from your mom’s side versus the cousin on your dad’s side. We’re all cousins. We’re all the same race. To even focus on the concept of race, it’s like—perhaps people give me an extra cookie for the fact that my color palette is so controlled and I’m black. When someone that’s like, racist, comes up to me at A.P.C. and says, “I thought it would be a bunch of animals on your shirts,” because they heard that I rapped. But it just makes the journey interesting. We came into a broken world. And we’re the cleanup crew. And we’re only cleaning up by helping each other.

I’ve got to ask you just one more question. Did you see the controversy over the last A.P.C. collection from Jean Touitou, where he referenced “In Paris” and he used the N-word in his presentation?

Racism is a distraction to humanity. Jean Touitou is one of the most humane people I know. Jean Touitou had my family have dinner with him every time we came to Paris. And there are a lot of people who own fashion companies who didn’t.


Nah nikka, ur colot pallet ain't c0ntrolled, ir shyt sucks. Straight up and down, fukk that Matrix Revolutions lookin bullshyt. All that gay ass whinin and that's the best u could offer, wack ass nikka. And this c00n talkin bout the one clothing line ain't racist cuz dude had him over to eat at his house. Did this fukkb0y happen to run the name of his new fashion line by u? Of course he did, and u smiled and "yessuh'ed" yo ass off for a 2nd helping of croissants. What kinda fukkboy backs down to a Frenchman? This wack ass nikka needs to m00nwalk off a building with this bullshyt. U little nikkas is lost as fukk listenin to this coward.

When it comes to militant threads... yeah

We're an oppressed people... common knowledge. Someone like Kanye is opening future opportunities for people of color. I for one believe racism definitely is a distraction and the hardest form of 'ism for me to understand. I can understand classism, culturism, sexism, elitism, whatever but racism is by far the easiest and dumbest way to dislike someone. You know nothing of this person, his beliefs, his ideas, his background but because he is a certain color I should hate him/her?


Sounds pretty inefficient in my book


I also believe that Kanye wasn't talking about white supremacy at all, like people are trying to say. He didn't even say ignore it. he was talking about racism in general and how it takes away from the world and the humian race.


"Jou Louis is a credit to his race...; the human race". No one on here never heard that before?

kanye is a slave to eurocentrism. he associates growing as an artist with distancing himself from his roots. he's self aware enough to acknowledge that himself but I don't see him doing anything to fix it. I actually dont see how anything he does now is useful to the community. pretty much on the level of outsider culture vultures at this point.

So is he wrong in what he said nikka?


Thsi is what I'm saying TO YOU. regardless if shyt had "zero chance" of happening or not, was he incorrect in what he said or not?

Would humanity not be better off if White supremacist and The Coli "militants" who type about shyt all day but never do anything not focus on race?



nikkas just want to be quick to call another nikka a c00n and not even know what the fukk it means.


And how are you more aware of the world than I am nikka :skip:... or even Kanye if that ,just because you're aware of racism? WTF you gonna do about it then besides call Kanye a c00n?


And I didn't watch the grammys I read about the shyt on here. Everytime he's there he does some kind of statement thats usually in the support of black people.

Are you serious or are you playing stupid?

I never posted or eluded to him being incorrect, in fact I said he was correct more than once. Him being correct isn't relevant and isn't what's being discussed here.

And when did I say I was more aware of the world than you :what: I don't even know you

Some of you cats are dumb as rocks but swear you have a point to argue then when that doesn't work you start making up points to argue.

If you can't see what this is, I can't help you see it. People like you need simple shyt written in marker on a big board to understand

all I have to say is I hope cacye reaches his goals and become some a self sufficient power house where he can others tirelessly work on his ideas, because if not, when he gets his nikka wake up goal and that terrible music he making doesn't appeal the music snob cacs, he's gonna spiral into complete a self destruction mode unequaled in all creation

It's so funny how since this dudes last album was complete trash he's been on some "Love me again" tour recently.

The whole video with his daughter in the field, working w/ Paul McCartney now he's an ambassador for calming the racial tide.

Amazing what dudes will do to get that mass appeal again.

BTW, I agree with him to an extent constantly pitting races against eachother will keep people from ever coming together, but it's funny coming from him cause it just feels like more of his "Love me again" antics
