Kanye West, now known as Ye<\/p>\n

Is showing how dumb he can be<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Declaring war on Jews and just showing out<\/p>\n

Ye is telling everyone that he is just a cartoon cutout<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With not enough sense to make two nickels equal a dime<\/p>\n

Ye talks and squawks on things that no none should give him any time<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kanye knows he needs to take a brain rest<\/p>\n

But dem spirits in him shows that he is not at his best<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So Ye, for the sake of all and that includes you too<\/p>\n

Lay off the hate because what goes around will come on you<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ye, with all his rantings and ravings is no friend to me<\/p>\n

But, until he comes out of his mental cave-in, he will never be free.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I know\u2026I know. No one in their wildest imagination could believe that I was a monster Rapper from back in da\u2019 day. My Rap name was Dark Bright.<\/p>\n

But the sheer volume of gibberish and nonsense from Kanye West reluctantly forced me out of retirement and I felt compelled to do this Rap.\u00a0Let\u2019s face it people. Kanye (Ye) is not a well person. In my humble opinion, when you look into his eyes and the eyes are known as the \u201cmirror\u201d of one\u2019s soul, Ye\u00a0is troubled. Very troubled. Ye needs intense mental intervention to prevent any\u00a0further degradation of his facilities.<\/p>\n

In my humble opinion, Ye also needs some positive image reinforcements for himself since his value of himself is very low, he lashes out at everyone else because he has an inner vacuum that has yet to be filled with agape love.<\/p>\n

The short game: You cannot love others if you cannot love yourself first.<\/p>\n

His arrogance of being an important person whose opinions hold great weight or\u00a0validity is indicative of a person seeking validation and affirmation.<\/p>\n

I am encouraged that many of his fat-cat sponsors gave him the heave ho when he\u00a0crossed the line and starting a line of inflammatory comments about going \u201cDef con 3\u201d on Jewish people.<\/p>\n

For those not familiar with such lingo as Def Con3, that is tantamount to a high level of aggression and accompanying violence for those who have been targeted\u00a0as such.<\/p>\n

Ye tries to rile up public discourse by initiating issues or controversial visuals that will get media attention and that of course, places Ye in the spotlight that he, like\u00a0Trump, craves as a fish desires water.<\/p>\n

The buffoonish wearing of clothing that states, \u201cWhite Lives Matter\u201d is another\u00a0manifestation of Ye\u2019s insatiable desire to be hip and cool but sadly without any\u00a0investment of context or appropriateness of his wild emotional swings.<\/p>\n

As you may have seen, fringe Neo-Nazi elements have made Ye their Black poster boy as a ramrod to hurl their invectives at Jewish people. For them, Ye is simply a convenient tool and nothing else because the Nazi\u2019s have total disdain for people of color.\u00a0 And yet, Ye is said to admire Adolph Hitler! Go figure.<\/p>\n

You would think Ye or his accomplice, Candace Owens, would be able to discern that, but both Candace and Ye walked hand in hand with that obscene phrase plastered on their clothing while out in public walking hand in hand!<\/p>\n

Candace Owens is another \u201cnegro\u201d that white right-wing media loves to dote on and especially so when she castigates people of color or when she flies the GOP flag and all things Trump.<\/p>\n

Candace Owens and Ye and Uncle Tom Clarence Thomas would be great in each other\u2019s company since all three in my opinion hold both open and hidden disdain for Black people.<\/p>\n

Hoping against hope, I would like to see ALL advertisers drop both Ye and Candace Owens or in the alternative, Black people quit supporting either one since neither person have any affinity for the struggles of Black people in America.<\/p>\n

Ye thought that his money and creativity would make him impervious to attacks\u00a0and financial losses. Guess who has been receiving a brutal education on, \u201cthat ain\u2019t\u00a0necessarily so?\u201d<\/p>\n

If the GOP wins both chambers of Congress, expect to see more of Candace Owens and Ye being paraded about and around as examples of shameless fronting for a party or its inane positions that impede the progress of people of color in these United States.<\/p>\n

Yes, both Ye and Owens have freedom of speech but they are somewhat subject to public opinion about their negative comments about Black people and we should not give them any affirmation simply due to their celebrity status or financial accomplishments.<\/p>\n

Celebrity status does not come gift wrapped in common sense or empathy and\u00a0any level of discernment.<\/p>\n

Ye and Candace Owens should not be in your friend zone or group chat.<\/p>\n
