I
wrote a previous article about Kanye West being Trump’s stool pigeon, which my
stance has not changed whatsoever. My suspicions, however, in the first article have now
been confirmed. Supposedly Kanye West is
running for office as independent against Donald Trump. On MSNBC Rachel
Maddow’s program it came out that West met with Jarrod Kushner, Trump’s
son-in-law in Telluride, Colorado about two weeks ago. Now the truth is coming
to light. West is running to help reelect Donald Trump in an attempt to siphon
votes particularly among young African Americans away from Joe Biden.
Even
before discovering West met with Kushner, many in government and in the
political arena knew his run for office is simply a farce to get Trump
reelected. It was exposed that some in the Republican Party have been helping
West to get on ballots in states across the country. Why would those who
support Donald Trump work with someone running in opposition to him? I had an
idea, but I was not 100% sure until now. Kushner and West met to discuss how
to get those who normally would vote for Joe Biden, to vote for him instead.
This will give Trump a fighting chance, because he doesn’t think he can win on
his own merit (which there has never been any merit).
I am
coming straight out and asking everyone; particularly those in the African
American community – do you have enough self-respect to not be played by
someone like Kanye West? Don’t you know
by now he can care less about the plight of African Americans in this country?
If he did, he would not side with a white nationalist like Donald Trump. If he
did, he would not side with a man who during the taping on The Apprentice, said
“nigger” in a derogatory fashion addressing blacks over 17 times. If West cared
about the plight of African Americans would he side with a man who calls
protestors of the Black Lives Matter movement thugs and criminals?
Kanye
West is not happy about being African American, which has been discussed
occasionally in the media over the past few years. West desires approval in
particular from Donald Trump, because despite all the money he has, he is
lacking the one thing he can never be – white. When you require the approval of
another based on his or her race there’s a problem. It means you do not value
who you are - and that goes for all races and if the situation is
reversed. I would had shrugged off
West’s discontent, except in this case his
effort to get a racist dictator in the White House reelected is too
much to ignore.
I
can understand West to a very limited degree, because African Americans have
been perceived as less by our society since arriving on American soil as slaves
from Africa. This has a profound psychological effect on many, so for some
black Americans there is always an effort to strive to be accepted. It is hard to believe you’re valued when
society tells you are not. By the way, according to Kanye West, African slaves
shackled in boats and packed like sardines had a choice to be slaves in
America. What a disparaging sentiment –
what an abhorrent position to have.
What
makes West so egregious is he is doing all of this at the expense of the
African American community. West claimed it was Trump who inspired him that he
could be president (Uh, so that’s way you are running against him?) He is being prostituted and used by Trump who
without a shadow a doubt thinks of him as less. West will never be seen as an
equal in Trump’s eyes - it is impossible. Why? Because Donald Trump is a racist.
West quite frankly is too dull and needy to accept this. I am hoping, however,
that America will see through this ploy by West, Trump and the Republican
Party.
People
of color are being targeted and unfortunately are starting to lose ground from
the gains made during the Civil Rights era. Black Americans are slowly losing
the privilege of voting from schemes implemented by the Trump Administration
and the Republican Party. Kanye West does not care about African Americans, or
really even other Americans. West is in it for himself as is Donald Trump. Both Trump and West are narcissistic and
crave the attention of the world and enjoy the spotlight. Trump knows how to
stroke West’s ego, and manipulate him to his advantage. Nevertheless, both
Trump and West are underestimating the black community and their ability to see
through their deception. America, we need to show them just how wrong they are.
