Kanye…

There are a lot of topics I bring to the table that are very divided. Not surprising, given the ease of division and segregation we have experienced in the last few years. I know it's always been there, but it's so much more prevalent.

I’m passionate about the things I share. Often, I feel like I'm in the minority, but possibly not, maybe people are just reluctant to weigh in, because the interaction is not worth the wrath.

Recently I was accused of making fun of Kanye for likes with one of my posts.

I felt strongly enough about the accusation to address it….

That comment really pissed me off. Because even though I think Kanye’s behaviour is out of control, I would never exploit anyone intentionally. I’ve lost a lot of followers for the stands I make, so it’s safe to say I am not an attention whore. I don’t base my post on popular opinions. If I get on my soapbox it’s because I feel something is unjust. One of those topics is Kanye.

I got to thinking's about all that I have shared about Kanye. I do have to cop to sharing a couple of lil videos from years ago that keep coming up in my memories. I have shared them many times over the years. At the time I thought they were funny. Actually I still do.

But given his decline mentally, I wouldn’t share them now. I use to think he was just super arrogant, but it's clear now thst there is way more going on. Before it was paying out on a smart🍑, now it would be kicking someone when they are down.

My first real Kanye experience came from the way he disrespected Taylor Swift. I’m not necessarily a Taylor Swift fan, but I thought that was up there with the Will Smith slap.

I first referenced Kanye on my page when I shared an article about how he put his designer hoodies in garbage bags in a retail outlet, in the middle of the floor. Apparently sifting through garbage, looking for a $200 hoodie in your size, emulates a homeless experience.

A lot of people were saying it was a genius marketing strategy. Personally I thought it was insensitive. If he wanted to make a difference to the homeless, then give them the hoodies, for free.

Two other memes I have shared. The first one for me was just basically saying the whole world is out of control. Nobody was offended by this post because they kinda got what it was about, and could mostly relate. It wasn’t really a dig at Kanye, it was a mood.

The second, being the one that caused some heated debate. I genuinely didn't think I was being mean. But I am questioning myself since being called out on it.

I know it wasn't about likes, but was it mean? Am I just justifying? I didn't think so, but we share memes so easily, without consequence, or accountability. I feel like I call Kanye's fans out, more than him. I see his behaviour as speaking for itself. It's the defending of it I struggle with.

Not so long ago, after another controversy, each one seemingly outdoing the last I posted this.

Yes, It was smart🍑, no doubt. It wasn't long after the virtual public dragging I received over the homeless post. I wanted to know if his loyal squad were still defending his actions now. They were/are. I don't want his fans to turn on him. I want them to say, hey not cool dude, too far.

And that's where the Britney post comes from.

For a long time I have personally thought, why is it that Britney was under conservatorship for all of those years, yet there are a slew of toxic dysfunctional men who are getting away with unacceptable behaviours in public. Of course I don’t think Britney‘s father is a good choice for a conservator. But I really do think that Kanye needs some time out, some genuine guidance.

Many people say Kanye is speaking truths that people don't want to hear, maybe he is. But there are many other people making the same noises without the dysfunction and toxicity.

If you are empathic, it is hard not to have some compassion for him, because you know there is way more going on. I genuinely pray for a positive outcome for him, but for now it looks ominous.

If this reads like I am defining myself, I kinda am. If people are going to make assumptions, I feel it only fair to supply all the information. I don't mind what conclusions they come to, but at least do it with all the information.

Does it matter? No. Do I matter? No

Does the truth matter. Yes?

People often tell me, it's my platform, I don't have to justify myself, but I feel like I do. To not, in my mind would be pretentious.

Just keeping it real, because it's difficult to forget what he did to Taylor, and what he and Kim K chose to release from a recorded call with Taylor.

The truth always comes out in the end. It's just sad that in the interum, people's lives are turned upside down.

Well it’s safe to safely that Kanye has definitely continued to spiral, but then again, so has the world.

Even Kanye fans are shocked at his outrageous behaviours. It’s difficult for me to understand how people can be so out of control, with the whole world watching and no one seems to have the power to step in and do something. You just have to wait until they implode, or explode, and hope that they don’t hurt someone or themselves in the process. It’s a hard watch.
