"Black intellectuals who have no intellect." I hollered! Some of us in the black community are really drawn to a wealthy person preaching at us or talking in a way that feels like a barbershop debate setting where they think they're 'dropping knowledge' but it's just basic, problematic rhetoric.
Yes exactly! We really act like rich people are better than us, so we just believe whatever they say. We attribute intelligence, and nobility to these people just for having money and it’s embarrassing Because a lot of these blacks with money are entertainers. They’re former broke people who are in bad contracts with the same people Kanye doesn’t like. But he didn’t have a problem when they were signing his checks and inviting him to exclusive events. It’s just…depressing. Truly.
Only correction I would add is that CTG did start criticizing Ye during the Kim/Pete/kids/custody shit. Kanye got mad at CTG for him and Cudi for not co-signing the anti-Pete/anti-Kim stuff
I always laugh when black people align themselves with antisemitism. Antisemitism and anti-blackness go hand in hand. I wish more African Americans knew about the history of Namibia and Tanzania, and the black people who were in Germany in the early 20th century.
I have always wondered what happened to Black people in Germany during that time in history. I haven't found a book or documentary on the experience anywhere but if you have a source please share.
Read Destined To Witness by Hans J Massaquoi. He was an Afro German man who lived during that time. He eventually came to America, joined the Army and became a journalist for Ebony Magazine. RIP.
Kanye was putting the confederate flag on Yeezy jackets back in like 2018. I remember seeing non-black international students wearing them. He’s been an unchecked problem
Even if the Black community rallied, he has a strong non-black audience that will keep him afloat and prop him up. People played his trashy albums after his "slavery was a choice" comment. Those non-black ppl lap him up because the idolise black culture and Kanye as a "legend" in the rap community
We have to start checking the sell-outs immediately. Black women are the main supporters of these men and women. Let's stop supporting people who do not support us like every other community. It's all about the finances. Let's stop making these people Rich to take the money to other communities.
When I heard he was being dropped for antisemitism, I was upset that it didn’t happen when he made that dumb ass comment that slavery was a choice. Then I thought about it. What incentive did they have to drop him when he made those comment? Especially when black people, the people who should have been the most upset about that comment, being the very people justifying, and excusing his actions. So at that point I couldn’t be mad at those companies. I think In the black community defends, and forgive problematic figures in our community, which is why I no longer argue with people about these problematic people, I simply stop supporting those I have issue with. It’s because of this someone like R Kelly was able to do what he did and for so long.
I think the problem is the lack of accountability from true black intellectuals. That isn’t to say that there aren’t any black people (historians, thought leaders, commentators, etc) who exist. Y’all just don’t get the same level of clout because a lot of us in the community are anti-intellectuals. So it’s hard for y’all to hold their feet to the fire publicly when you don’t have the mic! We don’t believe in objective truth and facts anymore. Everything is about aesthetics, wealth, and proximity to whiteness. So many educated black people have platforms that are overlooked because their measured approach to these topics isn’t sensational enough. 40 years ago I doubt Charlemagne would be considered anyone’s leader. He’s an entertainer, not an intellectual. Being curious doesn’t mean you have the credentials or the expertise.
Everything you said is 100% spot on! We have propelled people who haven't the intellectual resilience which is earned through higher learning. I cannot even stand it.
@@shawnmatthews9594 We really have! And it’s unfair because at least white people have balance - they have the “intellectuals” who at least got the pedigree and the “pundits” who just spew propaganda. We just have entertainers masquerading as thought leaders. And I don’t know when that happened! We have so many black intellectuals in academia publishing research so why aren’t we boosting them? When did being a rapper turned podcaster become a real career trajectory, to be courted by politicians?? I’m frustrated
All of this! I literally watch the shift of blk folks degrading blk intellectuals. The think pieces of why higher education, academia & intellectuals aren’t important, creditable and don’t matter is insane. I don’t understand how we got here. Why do we praise, honor & uplift aesthetics & wealth over our legit intellectuals. The argument always has something to do with obtaining the “YT man’s credentials,” doesn’t mean they’re more knowledgeable then folks like charlagne simply because they studied or obtained a higher education. Yet blk folks are obsessed with the guise of proximity to ytness & wealth. It’s kinda hard for our intellectuals to hold folks like Candace, Kanye accountable because like you said they don’t exhibit the right aesthetics & have clout for folks to even care what they have to say. Maybe they need to become more sensational?.. become more like the pundits? Switch up their approach so that the growing number of blk anti intellectuals will actually listen to what they have to say in order to deplatform folks like charlagnmane, Kanye & these podcast bros
It’s.. sad af to have people I know still be on Ye’s side after all of this. The amount of people I had to side eye and move away from when he said his “slavery was a choice”blasphemy was was already jarring enough and here we are. Still watching folks do gymnastics and advanced stunts to justify his words and behaviors.
Ye is good as weaponizing black thought and pain he remixes it like he does his songs. He will say MLK or Malcom x and leave the listener to add to it and bend and twist it into what they want to hear versus what he actually said they say you have to read between the lines ye plays chess you are playing cheekers. I say evaluate the words and actions that and do not add. But in that way he is an ass backwards genius.
Yes omg! We are all so sensitive to Asian and Jewish trauma like the nuclear bombs and the Holocaust and meanwhile everyone is telling us to get over the racism that still happens everyday.
A little western history note. In most of Europe, Jews were prohibited from owning land. Being prevented from that type of self-sufficiency. Money was considered "dirty" to handle, so to survive they learned to handle money, because they were seen as "dirty". There are no coincidences when you see any group of people, whether we are divided by race, sex gender ( no matter the social construct) learn to perfect certain skills because it is what they are relegated to perform without being perceived as a threat to the status quo. E.g. why so many black people still relishing in the entertainment industry instead of out performing in professions that have a greater chance of shaping desired change for long-term economic and financial futures n their own communities.
This is the reason why I’m working on establishing a farm deep in the mountain side because at this point humanity is sooooo exhausting Black White Purple and indifferent 🤦🏽♀️
Took a race and religion course my first year of undergrad. It was a taught by a Jewish woman. We went through Hitler, Germany and the Jewish problem. For these people to to be in the position they are in today, coming from all of that....Talk about started from the bottom...
I really appreciate your take on this! Let's just say this whole situation has really caused me to look at people who I respected greatly very differently...
I really like your take on things. It often feels like there is no place on the internet and in physical life where these things are thought about this deeply. A lot of people barely scrape the surface of conversation, and I appreciate the curated space of deep thought here.
SIS, You ain’t neva lied!!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 This is one of the most balanced, critical and truth telling perspectives I’ve heard thus far on Kanye and the controversies that he’s delightfully stirred up throughout the years. IMHO: it’s not just about anti-semitism, its about the deep seated anger that’s been boiling beneath the surface in the black community when it comes to the Jews (which I honestly didn’t know was happening) and how willing the masses allow entertainers and public figures to lead them to nowhere because they believe they are contrarians or free thinkers when in reality, they just spout the same talking points we’ve heard for years!! 🤦🏽♀️ Make it make sense!!!
Hey Joulzey, if you see this would you consider doing a video on growing up JW? I also grew up in the faith and Im always interested in hearing other black peoples experiences with it. I know it can be personal but if you ever feel up to it I would love to hear. I look forward to everything you put out anyways 🤎
I already have a video on my main channel from a few years ago. Idk if my experience represents the majority because my mother is from Brooklyn and that 100% impacted how we experienced the religion.
Thank you! The wilfull ignorance & excuses flooding comments about Kanye's behaviour are troubling, frustrating, infuriating, tiresome, & will only harm the african american community :o(
Kanye is a good example of how as the people who can see what's really going on we should stop engaging with people who act in bad faith. Yes, it is good to have people educated on why what Kanye is doing is harmful. At the same time though I think it would also be useful to call out things for what they are and then move on because bad faith actors will always try to twist whatever you say to work for them
No, Jehovah Witnesses are not the only ones to learn about the atrocities of WWII. In my city, all the public schools teach this subject, from kindergarten to high school. And of course, public schools means mostly black schools. We have a large, active population of people of Hebrew faith and heritage. As a matter of fact, my mother tells me, these people and their businesses, were some of the few white people, who were friendly and helpful to black folks, when they migrated north, in the 1950’s. They also, advocated strongly for our schools and textbooks to include what happened during the war, in the curriculum. If only black people could organize similarly, to have our history in America taught, at every grade, at every public school! Then maybe there wouldn’t be so many dumb azzes, like Kanye, all over the Internet!
As a Jewish person..thanks for calling Kanye out for his ant-semitism..why not just call out people by their names..be specific who you are mad at..he caused a lot of violence and harassment towards many Jewish people with his words..innocent people who just trying live their lives.
I am no longer invested in the outrage profit Kanye tries to entice, however even I can still sense the utter bull and nonsense he is spewing. I am not well versed on the history of anti S at all either. He just is not making sense and contradicting himself. He also lost all intellectual status with me when he claimed slavery was a choice. I mentally checked out from Kanye and haven’t been back since. Nothing he can do will shock me unless he admits he was an idiot for what he said and sincerely apologizes. But he will never do that, that’s not apart of his brand. He will just do something else to stir up outrage, too unimaginative to stay relevant in other ways 🤷🏽♀️ 😒
I love your channel a lot but I think you should have done more research for this video there is a lot of thing missing, messing up the timeline, and references to the wrong thing which makes the end result quit confusing and spread some misinformation 💙

I was so enjoying listening to your perspective but when you call our people the N words it makes me wonder about how that fits with you being concerned about Kanye dogging out Black people. When you call our people the N word you are in fact dogging out Black people. It's like Black folk that complain about colorism then refer to light skin as "fair skinned". Girl you are better than this...I want to believe.
Slavery is a choice… he is referring to 400 yrs of slavery, 400 yrs includes present day… the comment in full context is about how black folks to this day are still choosing slavery. I personally don’t think he is talking about when our great great greats were in slavery but that it’s been 400 yrs & you niggas is still choosing it. But in large I usually understand what Kanye is generally talking about, That’s not to say I’m here for all of it but I definitely think Kanye is talking about high levels ideas that have some truth to them.
He said what he said. Stop trying to twist his words into pretzels. He meant what he said. It wasn't an allegory for the modern area, it was exactly what he meant it to be...the demagoguery he believes.

""Black intellectuals who have no intellect." A WORD.
The self hate that black Americans have for themselves... is really - something to behold.
"Black intellectuals who have no intellect." I hollered! Some of us in the black community are really drawn to a wealthy person preaching at us or talking in a way that feels like a barbershop debate setting where they think they're 'dropping knowledge' but it's just basic, problematic rhetoric.
This is it!!! This is the comment.
Yes exactly! We really act like rich people are better than us, so we just believe whatever they say. We attribute intelligence, and nobility to these people just for having money and it’s embarrassing
Because a lot of these blacks with money are entertainers. They’re former broke people who are in bad contracts with the same people Kanye doesn’t like. But he didn’t have a problem when they were signing his checks and inviting him to exclusive events.

@@ninagrace-lee8323 I keep wondering to myself “ damn I can’t be this smart and self aware!” Wtf is wrong with the people???
Black people tearing down black people ... only hurts: You guessed it!
literally said "just because kanye is rich does not mean is smart, stop listening and believing him"
yeah i will listen to him if he ever talks about music again...not interested in the rest

Try The Kaiser 's Holocaust.
also Aime Cesaire's Discourse on Colonialism describes colonialism as an antecedent to fascism in Europe.
@@llamacj yes we read this in grad school…and that the barbaric punishments and experimenting on Black bodies in slavery was used in the Holocaust

Not “because we love some niggas harmonizing”. The way I cackled omg. 😂😂😂
Klandace Owens is definitely 100% a grifter😂😂 peeped that along time ago she's all for the bag.
🤣BLM are the better grifters. Candace is in good company.
You, my friend, have a unique and underrated way of explaining and discussing issues that really makes me want to up my intellectual game!! Thank you!

Yup! Steady telling you to get over slavery! Maybe when you pay us our due until then I’m still singing the same damn tune!
Kanye finally messed with the wrong group of people. I'm glad he did. He was not going to go down for the pain he caused black people.
half decent gospel music. Like literally those samples and originals were generally just better. but he remixed SMV Rain and Fred Hammond....smh
I wonder if Lauren hill's daughter got paid for that appearance? She doesn't realize she is the one being used.

Exactly! They were given lemons and they made an orchard and people have been upset at them for that for ages.
Kanye’s cult is dedicated to him. All he has to do is say put on these sneakers and drink this Kool Aid and they will do it in a heartbeat.
DL Hugley ALWAYS pushed back on Kanye. From the get go.
🤣DL has do many flawsin his arguments it's too funny.
Liking based off the title alone 👏🏾
