When you aren't being targeted directly by Donald Trump and his policies, having your family members deported or your loved ones put on a banned list, it's easy to say "IGNORE KANYE." But Kanye is normalizing a man that is specifically & quantifiably problematic. It matters.

Several Muslims and immigrants from countries now on Trump's banned list reached out to me yesterday and told me how much it stung to have a man as mainstream as
@KanyeWest so boldly proclaim & celebrate the man who has caused them so much pain, anguish, and anxiety.Show this thread -
I absolutely believe that we must stay focused on the greater fight for justice and equality and empowerment. We must. However, we must always forcefully call out ANYBODY who normalizes the bigotry and abuse of Donald Trump. It's not about political parties. It's bigger.

I fundamentally reject the idea that Kanye West is mentally ill and that his support of Trump is a result of that. His family & close friends reject it as well. It's also not a result of his mother dying. I think this move toward Trump-ism is simply the real Kanye.

Kanye West was a PoS before Trump, and he'll still be a PoS long after Trump is gone.

Kanye West has serious mental issues...there’re enough foolish folks in this country (who listens to kanye and value his opinions) to make a difference. So I agree with Shaun...this fool is not to be ignored. We would be making a detrimental mistake if we did.

Trump didn't rape anyone. He may have had an affair, but that's another story.

Big Deal. Kanye has his opinion and he shared it. Is he not allowed to share his opinion?
