        Kanye has always had a manic, performative style that people understood (and celebrated) as artistic expression. Put that same style in a "pro-Trump" political context and suddenly it's mental illness. The reactions to this have been so lazy and pernicious

        Seriously! Anyone who has seen Ye talk at all, much less in interviews, knows we saw pure Ye yesterday. He has a very specific way of communicating but the message withstands.

        Interesting perspective Michael. I'm not sure if I entirely agree, with everything in the article, but it was all good food for thought. Thanks for sharing. But prepare for disproportionately explosive Twitter backlash in 3...2...1...

        Thank you. Depressing to see the despicable trashing of Kanye by so-called progressives, claiming to be all about tolerance and love.

        The threat of any minority group, especially African Americans that, as a block vote about 75-85% Democratic, shifts away from to levels below 50% - their dead and they know it. Also remember it was Kanye whom scolded Bush after Katrina that not enough was down for New Orleans -
