Kanye West Is Leaving The United States Because It’s ‘Too Racist’
Perhaps Kanye West could use some advice from US persons abroad about his pending expatriation to help keep his millions from the compliance condors. No word yet on whether he will renounce his US citizenship, though that’s unlikely since he also plans to run for president in 2020.
His statement comes after Kim Kardashian was insulted and called an “n-word lover” by a teenager outside a California medical building. When Kanye West confronted him, he allegedly threatened to take Kim Kardashian’s life. Kanye responded by punching the young teenager in the face. There were no charges pressed as of now. When interviewed about the incident, Kanye said he rather leave the United States than stay here. Kanye replied to several questions by saying “We’ve got enough money to buy our own island or some s**t. I’ll be damned if I raise my daughter around ignorance and flat-out blatant racism.”
Already I am seeing the Homelanders say to Kanye, “Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!” Homelanders and the IRS however say that to you if you are white or Asian too. I know. They said it to me and I am both white and Asian.
@WhiteKat– Found it. Ewww… We’re even. Punished. Penance made!!!!
Kanye West’s “lyrics” use the n-word all the time–of his own peeps.
Rappers themselves are to blame for the revival of this word. My great aunt used to use at the n-word for African American folks. She was the only person I ever met who used the word that way, until Rap came along. She was born in Tennessee in the late 19th century–her parents themselves were children during the Civil War. Those people are all now dead. So if anyone is to blame for the currency of the word it is the rappers themselves.
Petros, yes good point. Have also noticed that the ‘N-word’ is often used as a term of endearment between friends or even just to initiate non-aggressive conversation . Even white guys can refer to black guys as nigger, and its all good, as in ‘hey nigger you know where da weed at?’ Strange that. Are there other derogatory terms/words that can also be used this way… can’t think of any.
hmmm…. tried a few substitutes for ‘nigger’ in the sample query above…they’d be likely to get a person shot.
I heard persons of colour call each other by the N-word in arguments, long before rap was inflicted on us. Seems to me it’s not much different from persons of gender calling each other “bitch” or the other half of us calling each other “prick”.
When used as a racial epithet it’s still every bit as much a racial epithet as it ever was.
Some foreigners in Japan consider it racist to be called “gaijin” instead of “gaikokujin”. To me there’s no difference.
One time a store owner finished preparing a package for me and called out “gaijin san”, i.e. politely “Mr./Ms. foreigner”, and that burned my ears. If she’d called out “gaikokujin san” it still would have burned my ears. The correct way to call out the person is “okyakusan”, i.e. “customer”. (“Sama” is more polite than “san” so “okyakusama” would be more polite, but “gaijin sama” or “gaikokujin sama” would still burn my ears.)
But in ordinary usage, e.g. “We allow apartments to be rented to foreigners”, either word “gaijin” or “gaikokujin” fits fine without being a racist term. And in far more common ordinary usage, e.g. “We DON’T allow apartments to be rented to foreigners”, either word “gaijin” or “gaikokujin” still fits fine, with racism being very common here but not because of the wording.
@BC_Doc, re: Game of Thrones, ‘walk of shame’, yes a pretty intense scene. Apparently Obama is really into the show:
“In a lengthy interview with HBO’s Bill Simmons, Obama spoke about his battle to quit smoking, compared himself to sports stars and spoke about his love for “Game of Thrones.”
Obama told Simmons that his favorite character on “is probably…the dwarf” referring to Tyrion Lannister.
“The problem with ‘Game of Thrones,’ though, is that I don’t remember the names of any of the characters,” he told Simmons in the interview published in GQ magazine.
“I remember the characters, so when I watch it, I know exactly what’s going on. But if you read a review of the show afterwards and they’re mentioning such and such, the only one I remember is Jon Snow, because I can pronounce Jon Snow.”
Obama was asked which “Game of Thrones” character is comparable to Trump.
“Uh…I don’t think…I don’t think any of them rise to that level,” he responded.”

@Petros, I’m thinking we need a new thread or category of threads here at Brock, called ‘Nothing to do with FATCA or CBT’, or something like that. You know, as a kind of distraction from the obsession. Just thinking out loud after realizing this morning, that for me it has been 3 years since “OMG.” When/ if it finally all ends, many of us will need to find a new obsession. And on that note, here is a funny:
Last night, my kids and I were sitting in the living room and I said to them, “I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug.” They got up, unplugged my laptop, and threw out my wine!!!! The little b*st*rds!
