Kanye West Channels Emmett Till, Using Till’s Face of Pulp as His Own Victimization
/Kanye West compared himself to Emmett Till tonight, leaving me stunned.
Kanye First Puts Roxie Washington on Blast
Earlier on Sunday, Kanye lamblasted Roxie Washington — the mother of George Floyd’s daughter — for the $250 million lawsuit she filed against him over his commentary that George Floyd did not die by having Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin’s knee on his neck.
Note West’s victim status in his words. Kanye West himself brought down the house of Kanye. But just like Donald Trump — who he worships — West is the victim here.
“I gave 2 million dollars out of my pocket for the family. To help George’s daughter…Your daughter! ... Many gave words. I ACTED. Now because of words you want to sue me for 250 million dollars ... when I’m going through an Economic lynching. A Digital Lynching. A Social Credit Score bankrupting.”
Kanye West totally ruined my Sunday evening. Taking the night off to enjoy my personal life, the convo turned to the attack on Paul Pelosi and also Kanye West. We can’t escape the horrors of what is going on in America.
Antisemitism in Jacksonville
On Saturday in Jacksonville, Florida at Saturday’s game between the Georgia Bulldogs and the Florida Gators, an antisemitic message flashed across an electronic screen that referred to West’s recent anti-semitic commentary. A second one flashed nearby.
The message was similar to the banner hung over the 405 freeway: Kanye is right about the Jewish people.
Spending a Sunday evening with friends, of course we were talking politics. It was at the end of the evening in which I was in a fabulous mood — in spite of the dinner table conversation — that I learned that Kanye West had the hubris to compare himself to Emmett Till.
Kanye West Plays the Emmett Till Card
Kanye West, YOU ARE NO EMMETT TILL. How dare you!!!! How could you steal his movie, and making yourself the center of the headlines. How calculating of you, Kanye. How egotistical. How pathetic. You have been on an arrogant, self-destructive bender for weeks now, and with your back up against the wall, you have the nerve to compare yourself with the brutal lynching of Emmett Till.
We want to make Kanye insane. But this is a rational, vicious man — yes, bipolar, as was my mother — who will use anyone, any memory of a deceased person, to suit his case. Kanye is evil, and we must come to grips with this reality and avoid him and, yes, contain him. Kanye West is very dangerous.
Emmett Till and I share a birthday, and he lives VERY close to me, always in my psyche.
How dare you steal his monstrous death at the hands of white southerners to feed your victim ego. You have caused EVERYTHING that has happened to you in recent weeks, Kanye West. And to see you behave in this manner, I have no mercy on your soul. I hope you get everything that you deserve, for the way you have walked over the precious memories of both George Floyd and now, Emmett Till and for all the hate you have spread
You are evil, Kanye. You can make yourrself the victim — just like Trump does — but you are evil. You make a joke of your God, Kanye. And I am exhausted with you trying to start a war in this country with your white nationalist friends. You are evil, Kanye — nothing more and nothing less. ~ Anne
