This is the type of stuff that I really REALLY hate about the "celebrity black man in America" trope. America hates black people unless they are saying stuff like this. Part of the reason I hate people like Candace Owens and Kanye West (really anyone who uses their identity as a tool for elevating themselves by pushing other people down). I can't speak on it for other people of color, or minority groups, but this is the type of uniquely enraging shit to see as a black man. I felt and feel the same way about wealthy black men whose wealth is extracted from the community and it never returns to the community. Black men who are cops or military folks who pride themselves on their ability to destroy other black/brown men in their neighborhoods or around the world, and build a "brand" off it. It's just the fuckin' worst. I hate America's celebrity culture cancer that rotting away our already poor understanding of politics.

This shit sucks. I don't find it funny at all, I just find enraging that this sort of clown is the exact type of person who can navigate the modern media. Also speaking on George Floyd's murder like this is just despicable, I can't imagine any black man (really anyone) who any amount of mental/poltical/moral/ethical/religous (in Kanye's cause as he's on his God is King tip) integrity looking at video of his murder and saying dumb shit like that.
