RAPPER Kanye West was brilliant last week, in the Oval Office, wearing a red MAGA cap, telling the media why he supports Donald Trump.
“People expect that if you’re black you have to be Democrat,” he said.
“The liberal will try to control a black person though the concept of racism because they know we are very proud, emotional people, so when I say, ‘I like Trump’ to someone that’s liberal they say, ‘Oh, but he’s racist’. You think racism can control me? …
“It’s like the [Democrats’] plan, to take … fathers out of the home and promote welfare …
“My dad and my mum separated, so I didn’t have a lot of male energy in my home … I love Hillary [Clinton] … But the campaign ‘I’m with her’ just didn’t make me feel — as a guy that didn’t get to see my dad all the time — like a guy that could play catch with his son.”
There is the blinding truth about the twin scourge of welfare and fatherlessness. The left has been attacking Kanye ever since as insane and “Trump’s token Negro”.
That’s because his truth bomb threatens their ability to continue controlling the votes of black America by enslaving them to the welfare state.
