I think they ultimately mirror each other in how they think of themselves and what's most important to themselves. Ye has a more eccentric way of expressing that side of himself and he also admits to having some mental illness. Both seem to driven for some kind of destruction though.
@bijouxbroussard Yeah among all the other issues, his wife is the daughter of a Thai immigrant. Trump's nativist rhetoric wouldn't have a warm welcome in that household.
@DeWayfarer True, but Thomas was chosen and placed on the court as a tool of the right wing, and is married to someone practically Klan-embedded. Clarence Thomas is virtually a real world "Clayton Bigsby".😳
@bijouxbroussard I never saw those. I actually didn't have any TV around that time. Not until 2006 and even then only three antenna channels. Didn't get more than three until I moved again in 2018. I was in the mountains.
@bijouxbroussard Thomas also became very angry about his perceived mistreatment by liberals during his confermation hearings. He has had a vendetta against the left ever since.
I know its not a get out of jail free card but I think he's more mentally diseased than he lets on. Anyone who goes from Obama to Hershel Walker may not be thinking as clearly as one might hope(irony)
i'm a huge fan of his music, and the music he helped produce with other artists, but agree he has many faults and really needs serious help. someone yesterday posted about hating art because the artist. this is a good example. there are artists, authors, actors, scientists, industry leaders that i can almost look past their faults, but Kanye needs to do a 180 for me to forgive
@bijouxbroussard 100%. I'm not saying it's due to him being black and affluent. I'm going by his own biography and things he's said about his past. He seems to have been very sheltered based and had some longing to fit into groups he jad nothing in common with. I use the white suburbanite analogy as an example of bland culturless background looking desperately to adopt one but never being able to fit in because the life experience doesn't reflect it. Another example would be the nerdy kid who tried desperately to fit in with the cool jock crowd and just makes a clown of themselves .
