Thank you. I will offer two thoughts. The first, no good ever comes, I have learned over the past two years, from generalizing whole groups of people, whether it's the Jewish people or Trump supporters. It's important, always, to remember our humanity. The second, the only way to defend Ye West would be to say he was in the bouts of mania or schizophrenia (like John Nash, who was also accused of having made antisemitic slurs before being treated). Otherwise, it's a reminder of how easy it is to slip into blaming one group for our problems, especially in times of stress, despair, poverty and division.
There is always one group that people feel it's okay to demonize and dehumanize. We know that when people feel like they're at the bottom of society they need to point to one group that is lower than they are. See those people over there, they're the real problem.
And as we know, dehumanizing both the Black and the Jewish community has led to the worst horrors the world has ever known.
I used to not think we would ever live through anything like that again. But I look around and I see dehumanization everywhere. Hate is everywhere. That makes this moment seem very precarious indeed.
Please enjoy your new life and celebrate. And yes, dance. Grab the beauty while it's there. Mazel tov to you.
This crap is still in his head. Sure, maybe he’s mentally ill, but it just served him the latitude to be uninhibited, free flowing of ideas that he could have kept to himself.
When it comes to this I feel the same way Bari does. His views are absolute crap, no question, but West can be dismissed due to his diagnosis (he is literally manic and out of touch with reality). It is the behavior of those who are supposedly sane and who give him the time of day and publicize his views which is worrisome, as is the lack of pushback and overall complacency to this perspective. This says much more than the ramblings of maniac (again, the word is used literally).

West is bipolar. I don’t think is is unrealistic to speculate that this is one of his manic states.

Agree but the recipients of his mania is not perceived by them.
