Hoteps can't get mad at Kanye



Hotep negros are the first people to live and thrive on conspiracy theories. Their whole existence is defined by low information and information from unreliable sources. Two of their core beliefs. "The White race was invented by black people" and "Black people are the true children of god" are built on a foundation of low information and information from unreliable sources.  Many other beliefs stem from these as well. Beliefs like the white man is the devil and blah blah blah. I could go on forever talking about the stupid shit these people peddle in.

One thing however that the Hotep loves to claim is the fact that he is a critical thinker and he always thinks outside the box. "Never trust the establishment". "Always go against the grain". Do any of these sound familiar? Well if you are a right wing nut Job they should. These people never use any objective standards to try to verify the vast majority of the beliefs they hold. When you have no objective standard for how to use critical thinking skills those same attributes that Hoteps hold near and dear can lead to some consequences that they didn't expect. Like when that same thought enterprise is used by some one with a different political ideology, and aligns them selves with a persona non grata like Donald Trump.  So Hoteps really have no beef with Kanye. He is using the same terrible thought processes that they use he is just drawing a different conclusion.

 West claims that his free thought is how he came about wanting to support Trump. And a lot of Trump supporters share those same attributes with Kanye West.  Again Low information and information from unreliable sources.

Now I love Kanye West as an artist. but I have long dismissed him as a person who I take seriously when discussing anything outside of music. He is perfectly within his rights to say whatever the hell he wants to. That does not mean that I have to listen to it. Or give any credibility to it.

Trump supporters think there is this vast conspiracy to discredit the 45th president of the united states. and that is their right to think that. However it is also my right to publicly admonish them when they cannot present any evidence to prove their grandiose claims. The world renowned scientist the late Dr. Carl Sagan always stated "extraordinary claims  require extraordinary evidence".
And if you do not use that standard. You are likely to believe all types of crazy shit. No matter your political ideology.

  1. Good article, as usual and I agree for the most part. Even though I'm not a fan of his music, I can see why so many people love Kanye's talents.

    I think he's trying to be in Trump's inner circle of close friends just like Jay-Z was (or still) in Obama's inner circle.

    1. The only reason not to like his music is to have never listened to all of it. From a melodic standpoint. Kanye West in unrivaled is far as the types of sounds and instrumentation he uses to compose his songs. and that goes for ANY genre of music not just Hip Hop.

    2. OK, good point. I probably still won't listen to his music though especially what he said recently.
