"Kanye West’s antisemitic, anti-Black, misogynistic dribble is exhausting. Or, as writer Damon Young pointed out, ”it’s boring.” That doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be addressed, but it’s also nothing new. He is a Black man who believes himself a prophet. He mistakes his master craftsmanship for that of a genius and uses his platform to espouse his hate. We’ve seen this before. This hate is not new. It’s a well-worn, tired and beaten path. At this point, the Chicago rapper is a Pentecostal preacher who lost his way or a Black Israelite with a self-written, heat-filled Bible.
Either way, West’s (now legally goes by Ye) megaphone appears forever tuned to invidious indictments against Black people. Not to mention, his voice is nauseating, reckless and fraught. His stream of conscious rants are as divisive as they are nonsensical.
From his easily dismissible insidious claims to the antagonizing hurtful comments about slavery and the holocaust, the famed music producer has turned into an outlier yelling from the balcony to resuscitate his relevance and career. But for everything the self-proclaimed, non-reading Ye lacks, he’s just as easily ignorable for the same reasons. He’s not informed. And despite being passionate, he doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about. As a Texan would say, “He’s all hat and no cattle.”"
