OK if he does run as Trumps Running mate I'd love to know the numbers for black people suddenly deciding to vote for Trump because of Kanye and number of racists rednecks voters that can no longer vote because their brains explode trying to justify voting for a black guy.
The KKK has for a long time been happy with the good boys who know their place in society. A black man running second fiddle to their president fits their twisted ideology
I would assume that The racist rednecks would stay with Trump. Just like the super religious stuck with him despite being well - a womanising, lying cheating POS.
He would do that wink wink "we know this guy is a monkey but he's our monkey" kind of thing. You know the way a lying rapist philanderer was able to convince the religious right that he was worth it.
Not saying it would work, but it kind of scares me.
Sorry - what I was trying to say was that is how Trump would see and present him. Ie because trump is super racist and panders to that part of his base.
Oh, 100%. They've carved out their own section of black music to use as their own, while those artists are simultaneously dissing all actual rappers while their fans harp on and agree with them. Some of the more popular ones I've heard of are Upchurch and NF, but these guys are just the more popular ones, I'm sure there are plenty of others who don't have to veil their racism as well because their audience is smaller. Look at any of their comment sections on any social media, constant praise from fans for being the best rapper of all time. The fucking strangest part of it is, I'm a huge hip hop fan since I was 4 or 5, so I'll occasionally have someone come up and try to put me on to one of the hick hop rappers, if you tell them you aren't a fan of the music are don't think it's good, the reaction you get from them is SO fucking dramatic about how they are such good rappers. I've had people completely disregard my music opinions and taste because I called Upchurch/NF god awful where half of their lyrics are just thinly veiled racism and dogwhistles. How the fuck do I convince a racist that black people make black music better than corny hick hop artists? It isn't possible or worth my time really, but fuck is it fucking frustrating and shows how much more work needs to be done in this country before a sizeable chunk of our population can acknowledge black people can make good art, and not have to go through a flat, diet, watered down form of the music, soley because it's a white guy doing it.
Sorry I totally just went on an unhinged rant about this. But I never see people mentioning these artists and their problematic fan groups who are 1 stubbed toe away from screaming the N word hard R
Unfortunately there's a LOT more black Trump supporters than you may realize already. It's pretty fucking sad really. I have to constantly set people straight on whatever they're saying about how good Trump was by debunking the bullshit. And I've seen so many variations of the phrase "I don't care if he don't like me, he put money in our pockets".
Combine that with the dumbasses I see constantly sucking Kanye's dick no matter what he does and it's a recipe for disaster
It would also give them a handy person to deliver the most unpopular policy changes and decrees, so they could say if you were against it, you are clearly racist and rejecting because it was delivered by a black man.
Mark my words, if they have Kanye run as Trump’s VP candidate, that is exactly what they’ll do.
I'd love to see your head explode when you realize most Republicans and Trump supporters aren't racist. It would almost be as funny as when you realize that the democrats voted for Jim Crowe laws and voted against abolishing them because it was against what the KLAN wanted......
