Pretty crazy/sad how low the bar is when not being racist to their boss can undo a history of institutionalizing slavery and turn a politician into the beacon of black America.

Ah, an old white man telling black people what they should do. Never seen that before

Yup. but it’s not really seen as undoing anything, but, rather, weighing their options in the very white light of privilege.

See, you agree with Kanye.

Biden is riding that line pretty hard but the only reason anyone will vote for him is he's a lesser evil (barely). That's why I'd love to see Kanye beat the odds.

No, I generally have a hard time with supremacists of the very white kind.

Having a fruit salad with the choice of three kinds of spoiled fruit
doesn't make it better than having only two kinds of spoiled fruit.

That’s probably because you live in Europe.

Reminds me of all those white people that voted for Obama when there was a perfectly clean cut, articulate white guy running against him. It's melanin-deficient perfidy!

If Kanye jumps in the race, I think Jay should jump in too. Still some bad blood there, right? Could make for some interesting debates. Watch the throne, boys.
