Fox News is absolutely sure Kanye represents a credible black support for Trump!
Kanye is off his meds, but Fox News thinks he is speaking his "truth" and libeals just do not like to hear him speak good of Trump! Wow!
Did Kanye West just play Trump in the Oval Office!? That is a possibility! lol! It would be cool! Kanye was asked about racism and he said if he was afraid of racism he would have left the United States a long time ago! Think about that answer. It could be Kanye says he KNOWS Trump is racist!
This was Tweety's "black people meeting" or a reach out to minorities. Thoughtful man, this Tweety. Jim Brown was there.
Did Tweety play Kanye? Jim Brown allowed it?
Here is the White Nationalist Trump saking for black people to trust him, to "honor" the GOP, "Uncle Tom" . . . . Where are you Candace?
"Trump calls on blacks to ‘honor’ Republicans with votes, then praises Confederate general Robert E. Lee"
By Gabriel Pogrund October 12, 208
"LEBANON, Ohio — President Trump praised the Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee while asking African American voters to “honor us” by voting Republican at an Ohio rally that featured an unexpected and provocative monologue on America’s Civil War history. "
Wow! Tweety says in your face negro!
"The truth about Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee: He wasn’t very good at his job"
By Michael S. Rosenwald October 13 at 10:44 AM
"“No single war figure stands in greater need of reevaluation than Lee,” wrote Thomas L. Connelly, the late University of South Carolina professor. “One ponders whether the South may not have fared better had it possessed no Robert E. Lee.”"
More.
" . . . Connelly was not alone in his critique. Other historians began piling on.
Lee, they wrote, mishandled overall strategy of the war. Outmanned, Lee should have taken a more defensive posture, drawing the North into difficult Southern terrain. Instead, he was constantly on the offensive, which resulted in heavy casualties and broken spirits."
A bit more on Lee's ineptitude and stupidity.
"Lee’s ineptitude was most damaging at Gettysburg.
On the third day of battle, in what became known as Pickett’s Charge, Lee ordered his troops across an open field, subjecting them to heavy fire. Lee did this against the advice of his subordinates. The rebels suffered more than 6,000 casualties.
Lee apologists blamed Longstreet’s execution of the attack, which many historians and military strategists now find laughable."
Are the critics of Kanye being fair? Pop singer Taylor Swift comes out supporting Dems, and she is praised. Fox News highlights the different responses on CNN and says "Thanks." because Fox thinks this is evidence of hypocrisy. Fox gets Herschel Walker on, a black rump supporter, and Herschel says it is hypocritical to criticize Kanye.
CNN talking heads call Kanye a "token" black man. Herschel insists Trump is not racist. Herschel is wrong about Trump's racism, it is just a unique racism Herschel does not understand. There are black folks who so much and so strongly want to believe a white person is not racist, they blind themselves to it. These black folks could also be experiencing their own form of racism against people of color, like lighter or darker colors disgust them.
UNIQUE RACISM: We all discriminate, how that evolves to form of racism depends on many psych factors.
It is a shock when Kanye comes out supporting Trump, but it might be real. What Kanye says it hard to understand. Don't tell me I o not understand because he is a genius. That is BS. I am pretty extensively educated and, with a little effort, I can understand most of what anyone writes and says.
Maybe it is a form of racism by Kanye or another form of racism by those who criticize Kanye, but what Kanye says is a bit crazy at worst, or ignorant, or sarcastic, at best it is quite weird. Get rid of 13th Amendment?! Hydrogen planes for the Prez? Kanye is not afraid of racism, but does it bother him?
"Why the Kanye West-Jim Brown lunch with Trump was a disaster"
Analysis by Nia-Malika Henderson, CNN October 12, 2018
https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/11/politics/kanye-west-jim-brown-donald-trump/index.html
"This was the meeting's preview sent by the White House ahead of time: "The discussion will be centered on President Trump's historic work to benefit all Americans such as urban revitalization, the creation of Opportunity Zones, new workforce training programs, record highs in African American employment, the creation of manufacturing jobs, ideas from his meeting with African American pastors, potential future clemencies, and addressing the massive violent crime surge in Chicago.""
Here's Kanye's take:
"Here are some ideas West raised:
- Bring Trump factories and Yeezy ideation centers to Chicago.
- His MAGA hat makes him feel like a superhero.
- Make the dopest ... no the "flyest" cars.
- School is boring. Kids should play basketball while they are doing math.
- Time doesn't exist.
- Stop worrying about the future. We only have today.
- Trump and Colin Kaepernick wearing "Make America Great" hats at the Super Bowl.
- Stop-and-frisk is bad.
- The solution to police brutality is love.
- Something about an Iplane.
- Opening up industries and tax breaks.
- Something about liberals distracting black people by focusing on racism."
Fox News Tucker Carlson, a PURE white guy, says Kanye is speaking for black people. Don Lemon, a black guy, says Kanye is NOT speaking for black people.
I leave it to YOU to figure and/or guess if you need to guess, who might know who Kanye is peaking for. Answer: Kanye is off his meds and speaking crazy shit! Tucker Carlson cannot speak for black people. He is not BLACK!
This was fun! Kanye made the clown look dumb as hurricane Michael ravished Florida!?
OK, I can take a joke, really! Kanye is, I suppose, good at music and is a very creative guy. But what makes HIM a spokesperson for black people?
"Republicans [. . . and Fox News no doubt - Hannity for sure!] who clucked that Clinton and Obama disrespected the Oval Office never heard Kanye West’s f-bomb"
The Debrief: An occasional series offering reporters’ insights
By Anne Gearan and Felicia Sonmez October 11 at 7:10 PM
What makes Candace Owens credible, a supposed conservative black person. She doesn't know she is NOT conservative if she supports Tweety. Tweety has built a HUGE deficit, keeps us in wars, is racist (UNQUESTIONABLY!), in addition Tweety is dividing the country into tribes, supports the rich, and is essentially all over the map politically
"As a conservative, I despair at Republicans' support for Trump. His vision is not conservatism"
It is hard to refute those who say Trumpism is a product of conservatism but refute them we must. We are better than this.
"For me, as an outspoken conservative for the last four decades, the experience has been vertiginous. On one issue after another – from Russia and free trade to corruption and the rule of law – Republicans have adjusted their principles to conform with Trumpism, which often means with Trump’s latest glandular impulse.
I came of age watching Ronald Reagan call on Mikhail Gorbachev to “tear down this wall”, as he reasserted America’s role as leader of the free world. Last week we saw Trump insult our allies, undermine our friends and truckle to the Russian autocrat.
Given a chance to hold Russia accountable for its attacks on the American election, its annexation of Crimea, its aggression in Ukraine, its role as an enabler of Syria’s Bashar al-Assad, or the murder of journalists and political opponents, Trump chose instead to blame “both sides”: [Tweety's tweet follows]"
Here's more.
"The problem is that many conservatives have confused the swagger of the schoolyard bully with actual strength; we saw how Trump behaves when he’s confronted by an even bigger bully. He groveled, and then hedged, then tried to walk it all back with the absurdly laughable claim that he confused the word “would” for “wouldn’t”. Depressingly, that was good enough for some Republicans, including the Ohio senator Rob Portman, who said he was willing to take Trump at his word.
But we’ve seen this movie before, as Republicans react to Trump’s outrages by wringing their hands, only to fall back into line."
There's more.
" . . . Trump has deftly exploited many of the grievances and attitudes that have festered for decades on the right. But that’s not the whole story. Trump has more in common with populist demagogues like the “Know Nothings”, Father Charles Coughlin, George Wallace and Pat Buchanan than with conservatives like George Will or Ronald Reagan. Until the last election, conservatives had the good taste, sound judgment and wisdom to reject and even marginalize those uglier voices on the right. In that sense, Trump is the exception, rather than the rule."
Conclusion. Normalize Tweety at your risk.
"The real danger, however, in seeing Trump as the logical, organic product of conservatism is that it normalizes him."
"Republican or Conservative, You Have to Choose"
By David Brooks Opinion Columnist June 25, 2018
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/25/opinion/trump-republican-party-conservative.html
"Conservatism, as Roger Scruton reminds us, was founded during the 18th-century Enlightenment. In France, Britain and the American colonies, Enlightenment thinkers were throwing off monarchic power and seeking to build an order based on reason and consent of the governed. Society is best seen as a social contract, these Enlightenment thinkers said. Free individuals get together and contract with one another to create order.
Conservatives said we agree with the general effort but think you’ve got human nature wrong. There never was such a thing as an autonomous, free individual who could gather with others to create order. Rather, individuals emerge out of families, communities, faiths, neighborhoods and nations. The order comes first. Individual freedom is an artifact of that order.
As Scruton put it in his bracing primer, “Conservatism: An Invitation to the Great Tradition,” “The question of which comes first, liberty or order, was to divide liberals from conservatives for the next 200 years.”
The practical upshot is that conservatives have always placed tremendous emphasis on the sacred space where individuals are formed. This space is populated by institutions like the family, religion, the local community, the local culture, the arts, the schools, literature and the manners that govern everyday life."
There is a lot to read in this article, so here is just one more clip.
"Conservatives fought big government not because they hated the state, per se, but because they loved the sacred space. The last attempts to build a conservatism around the sacred space were George W. Bush’s “compassionate conservatism” and, in Britain, David Cameron’s Big Society conservatism.
They both fizzled because over the last 30 years the parties of the right drifted from conservatism. The Republican Party became the party of market fundamentalism.
Market fundamentalism is an inhumane philosophy that makes economic growth society’s prime value and leaves people atomized and unattached. Republican voters eventually rejected market fundamentalism and went for the tribalism of Donald Trump because at least he gave them a sense of social belonging. At least he understood that there’s a social order under threat."
The Clown Prez, Tweety, entertained Kanye in the Oval Office, or was it the other way around? All this the destruction of the Florida panhandle were on every news network. This looks like the same desk where Tweety pointed at the hurricane map. Dumb distasteful.
Fox News says it was a lunch time meeting . . . CNN's Don Lemon criticized it so Lemon was utterly racist? White woman wrong!
Fox News wants to taut happiness in the room. "We are excited!"
Fox News: "Can you blame someone (Blacks) for not coming forward given this kind of retribution?"
Fox News: Candace Owens is the token black women 9great combo) on Fox saying I can hear the Democrat's fear of the black conservative movement, and of losing power . . .

It is embarrassing to America, and sad. Yes, I can enjoy a good joke. BUT! Tweety's timing seems off given the destruction in Florida.
