gabriellak_j 20h y thoughts as shared with a friend: What I feel is that he is not fully aware of the difference between appropriating BLM and subverting the "Make America Great Again" hat Although I disagree with his thesis there I understand his idea that the hat was a readymade And it's value was intrinsic to context-- signature of the artist When worn by trump it's racist, when work by Kanye it's about liberation He neglected to realize the importance of object when he tried to extend that kind of subversion to the BLM slogan One is object one is ethos I know what he was trying to do He was trying to illustrate a dystopian world in the future when whiteness might become extinct or at least would be in enough danger to demand defense I guess I get what he tried to do-- he thought it was duchampian. It wasn't. It didn't land and it was deeply offensive, violent Reply to gabriellakgingeroug 3 gabriellak_j 20h But the danger is that, this very premise, the idea that white supremacy is in danger of extinction Is what justifies mass incarceration, murder en masse, indeed even the advent of slavery The idea that blackness must be snuffed out for it will surely superceed whiteness in power and Influnece if given the chance and it's so hugely irresponsible to furnish the most dangerous extremists with this kind of fictional narrative The added layer of him having kids from his donda school performing the soundtrack It really felt like the divide between indoctrination and education has never been finer I'm still processing and there's some further investigation/interrogation that took place... but this Reply to gabriellaktj.reaction...

W. Kamau Bell @wkamaubell. 15h Candace Owens tweeted this after her husband was like, "Wait... Did you mess up Kanye West's head so much that you fumbled our Parler bag???" Š48 Candace Owens @RealCandaceO As a company, @adidas has every right to sever ties with whomever. That said, they better pay Ye. We are not going to witness Ye's intellectual property be stolen and his life bankrupted while being told black people need to shut up about it or suffer the same consequence. 204 1707 6,092
