I honestly hoped that Kim Kardashian took Kanye West to Uganda and just left him there, and that Kanye was just going to live in Uganda from now on and we would barely hear about him. Unfortunately, Kanye is still all about that MAGA life. Even though Kanye’s great love, Donald Trump, is radicalizing terrorists all over the place and those terrorists are targeting African-Americans and every non-WASP, Kanye still believes that Trump is somehow good for black folks. So Kanye has designed some “Blexit” t-shirts. My God.
Kanye West has designed T-shirts encouraging black people to exit — or “Blexit” – the Democratic Party. West’s designs debuted Saturday at Turning Point USA’s Young Black Leadership Summit, a meeting of young black conservatives in Washington. West didn’t attend the conference, but was there “in spirit,” according to TPUSA’s Communications Director Candace Owens.
“Blexit is a renaissance and I am blessed to say that this logo, these colors, were created by my dear friend and fellow superhero Kanye West,” said Owens, 29. She gushed that West “has taken one of the boldest steps in America to open a conversation we have needed to have.”
The new shirts come in traffic-cone orange, teal and a muted lavender with designs that say “Blexit” or “We Free.” The clothes were part of a broader launch of Blexit.com, which includes testimonials from black Americans who have left the Democratic Party.
Why not just sell t-shirts that say “The Sunken Place” and just leave it at that? Well, at least the self-loathing morons will be easier to identify in their Blexit t-shirts. If you see anyone in one of those t-shirts, just walk away. It really isn’t worth it. And I bet the people buying and wearing the t-shirts will mostly be white people too.

“Fellow superhero”? They’re both nuts.
They are taking advantage of his vulnerabilities imo. What he is doing is inevitably damaging.
I would also ask how Kim puts up with this?
I work with people with significant mental health diagnoses and both their vulnerability and the impact on those around them is largely completely ignored.
We expect that their actions are as they would wish when well and judge them as well.
We expect their families to have boundless and endless patience.
” . . ask how Kim puts up with this?”
She does not because she does not have to. She’s not living with Kanye. She probably only sees him if they need photo ops. She does not care – as long as they’re being talked about, she’s fine with it.
Remember, it was only when the Kardashians were not around that Kanye was brought to the hospital that first time. His crew then really cared about him to do that. This is not about “burdening the wife with the responsibility of a mentally ill husband”, this is about caring enough about someone to do what needs to be done. Kim never cared. Remember again her posts about Kanye not being mentally ill but a free thinker. Its obvious to the public at large that Kanye is ill. She is aware that something is wrong but she would not put up the effort of doing something about it even with all the resources available to them. They probably haven’t figured out a way on how to work this into a narrative lucrative for their brand. Its easier to opt for divorce when the time comes. But if they have finally figured out a way to spin this, rest assured they will.
Kanye is not the first nor the last celebrity to be mentally ill and to be so, publicly. There was Britney, Amanda Bynes, among others. The difference is they had family, people around them who cared. Kanye does not.
F*ck you, Kanye.
Why dumping this trash in Uganda? They had enough of shit, they don’t need shit from other countries.
Word
I really truly wish we had the racial draft (via my top 10 Chappelle Show skits).
I’d trade his ass in a heartbeat.
Well he is a psychotic butt hole WHO NEEDS MEDS
Look at the last picture. If that man approached you as you left work, you’d prepare yourself for a long rant about how the moon is a magnet and we’re all iron shavings and the moon controls us.
Again, I’m not black, African Americans do not have to belong to the Democratic Party and I get the idea that blacks people are sometimes far more socially conservative than white people, but I also read polls and African American people don’t support the GOP in wide numbers at all. I can’t fathom why any African American person – save those with actual diagnosable mental illness – would want to support a party that really misses slavery and would bring it back in a heartbeat.
That image of the moon being a magnet sounds like something a crazy person really would say.
The moon magnet idea is intriguing! I need to think on that one a lil bit. 😁
Betsy, I don’t know why any marginalized person or people would vote against their own safety under the guise of conservatism.
I think social conservatives need to be pushed back against HARD with a giant Mind Your Damn Business campaign. I’m cheap, very tight fisted with money. But my frugality has never once made me think I have the right to stick my stupid nose into someone’s reproductive or civil rights.
That being said, going back to my original comment, Kanye West is a butt hole when he is on his life saving meds. When he is off his meds he is a psychotic butt hole who needs help from his managers and is clearly not getting it and his spin out is now public and possibly dangerous.
“…I don’t know why any marginalized person or people would vote against their own safety under the guise of conservatism.”
I think it happens because even among any given marginalized group, you’ll always find individuals who have at least one other marginalized group that they either actively want to harm, find uppity and burdensome, (ex., feel that that other group should ‘stop whining & b grateful Because Others Have Had It Worse In Other Times & Places), or are willing to just not give a damn about when they see some type of personal gain to be had. Of course, these individuals don’t even think about how this is harmful to people who are a part of more than one marginalized group too.
For Kanye, there’s personal gain to be had from being a Trump-loving republican. He gets attention, praise for ‘thinking for himself’ (because according to a lot of conservatives and libertarians, lazily copying your or someone else’s bigoted ancestors= being a free-thinking rebel), validation from the current president and administration, and a chance to own the past liberal president who wanted nothing to do with his shenanigans. Plus, he’s a misogynist. When you feel emasculated by the thought of a female president, are uncomfortable with feminist issues being raised, and feel that the MeToo movement is basically a witch hunt against men, supporting a man like Donald Trump becomes much more comfortable.
I’m not conservative but that’s major hyperbole and lying to say that the REpublican party misses slavery and wants it back. There are quite a few racist nutbags around, but to say that 50% of America wants racism is wrong. There were plenty of Republicans and liberatarians that fought against slavery and continue doing so.
@someone
Exactly which Republicans and libertarians have “fought” or continue to fight against slavery?
I really can’t think of anybody. I hope you’re not referring to the Republican party of the Civil War era and the first half of the 20th century because IT’S NOT THE SAME PARTY !! The Republican party today and for the last 60+ years is NOT the “party of Lincoln”. It’s sad what our education system has become, but regardless nobody should be confusing modern day Republican party as the “party of Lincoln”.
And even if that’s not what you were referring to, again republicans on the whole have done a piss poor job “fighting” against racism in their ranks. In fact for decades they’ve totally embraced “traditional” social conservatism which either covertly or overtly espouses racist ignorance.
“There were plenty of Republicans and liberatarians that fought against slavery and continue doing so.” Really, where are these are living, breathing crusaders of righteousness and freedom? I think it’s time for some Proverbs’ Real Talk, paraphrased: It’s better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.
I think it is a colossal stretch to say that republicans miss slavery. There are plenty of black republicans and republicans make up half of America, approx. It is insult o say those people “miss slavery” and is entirely untrue. Dems and republicans have always been at odds as it is a two party system and there is no reason to keep up the attacks on regular people on either side.
@ someone says: I think the real issue is the people who are willing to vote for racist politicians. not every Republican politician is a racist, and no doubt some Democratic ones are, but those who continue to support racists can’t pretend that it’s ok because they personally are not racist. Nor can they pretend that politicians who say racist things and support racist polices are “not really” racist. a huge majority of Republicans in the United States Congress seem just fine with the racist sentiments and policies coming from the administration, and if one continues to support those folks, one loses the claim that they are not really racist and don’t want to see racism persist in the US.
Of course this is a ripoff. Blaxit – which popped up around the 2016 election, refers to black folks leaving the US for greener pastures.
Side note – I just mailed in my IL ballot and am still looking for my Blaxit visa honey – hit me up! 😂😂
No, ‘Blaxit’ means blacks exiting the Democrat Party. Mostly because the party pays lip service to what the people really want. The ‘leaders’ are there to make sure the votes are there every election.
Eh if you Google Blaxit it’s more around African Americans leaving the US but your definition is interesting too.
Binary system. Lesser of two evils. Everybody should burn that into their brain.
Not voting for Democrats just keeps Republicans in power. Good luck with that.
Fact is that the worst racists among Democrats whixited to the Republican Party a long time ago. Google Dixiecrats and Republican.
The Democrats are not perfect but they are the best chance we have at the moment. Dancing for Donald Trump won’t help black Americans any more than it helps the rest of us. And if he triggers WWIII – being black anywhere in the world won’t protect anybody from the radioactive fallout and atmospheric dust that will travel all over the planet, causing cancers and killing crops and other species.
There was a story here in New York about a group of nazis following and terrorizing a black man who was actually knocking doors for republicans. In the story, he says he repeatedly told them “but I’m a republican!” and they said “we don’t care what you are; you’re not welcome here.” And that is a metaphor for the republican party. Kanye and this Candace woman are deluded if they think they are welcome in the republican party. They will take their vote, but do nothing that will benefit people of color.
It irks that Kanye has so much influence and this is what he uses it for.
Was this in upstate NY? I’ve not heard anything about this in the city. Could you help me out finding the story online? Thank you very much
Sorry, it was in NC.
https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/lurkingwhilewhite-white-man-charged-threatening-black-republican-poll-worker-behind-bars-203404071.html
Tried attaching the link (it was NC, not NY – my mistake), but it’s still pending.
@bythesea thank you so much for the link I really appreciate it.
Well they probably do have policies which REALLY benefit rich POC though
There is a great video somewhere on YouTube by one of Walt Disney’s descendants, his granddaughter Abigail. She’s wildly rich thanks to Walt, and points out very articulately and convincingly that the Republican tax cuts only really benefit people like her and they don’t need it. Yes, she says bluntly that she doesn’t need the tax cuts and neither do the rest of the 1% and the money should go to people who really do need it.
I just checked and there are several videos for her, including interviews. Just search for
Abigail Disney tax cuts
and you can find them.
It’s dangerous to assume Nazis and racists are only in the Republican party. Dig a little deeper and you’ll find them in the Democratic party too.
The day Kanye went to the white house I actually felt physical pain reading the stories. I was a huge fan of his when he debuted but that day cemented for me that it was time to let go and it made me sad.
Now idek how to feel because he’s so far gone. I tried to see his logic but at this point there is none.
LOL. Five years ago, who would have thought Kanye would be this useless? At least, we can’t blame Kim for all this, it’s clearly all him. Bless his deluded heart.
i don’t blame Kim, but he did become involved in a family where doing and saying the most disgusting things for ratings seems to be valued over all else, so it’s not surprising to see him sink as low as the rest of them.
I AM DONE WITH KANYE WEST.
Just as tacky as the other clothes he ‘designed. ‘
Don Junior was posting like crazy on Twitter about that young black leaders summit. It was surreal to see him surrounded by a crowd of seemingly adoring POC. I don’t get it. The cognitive dissonance required to think that the Trumps or the GOP will in any way support them is too much to contemplate.
I don’t get it, either. I’m a white woman; I find women for Republicans equally baffling. Like don’t you know you don’t count as a person to them? Do you really think that that only bad women get judged harshly by GOPpers?
With women, at least among the ones in my town, it seems that they tend to go along with their husbands. Gross, I know. But there’s no similar explanation for why young black leaders would support Trump. Being conservative is more understandable but this group is all in on the Trump train. It makes my skin crawl.
In my experience, I find that many women don’t value themselves as an unique entity, they are someone’s daughter, wife, mother. So they unconsciously buy into the “the only thing standing between me and all those bad people who don’t look like me is my (white) husband, father, son” way of thinking. They are too scared to to take a step back and see the big picture because it threatens their bubble. Stockholm syndrome.
In my experience it has to do with church. The white women I know who vote Republican are all very religious and came from conservative homes. They don’t know or want to know any different. The only argument I’ve heard is that they’re pro-life and that’s why they vote the way they do. They don’t care about other issues.
Betsy I am a super liberal democrat, but I grew up in the south and i will never forget a conversation I had with a white woman at church who I am sure voted for Trump. I mentioned a holocaust class I was taking and she had never heard of it. She wasn’t a holocaust denier… she was somehow 50 years old in the 1990’s and had missed the entire knowledge of it. That is how white women vote for Trump… if you can miss out on a huge reason for WW II and one of the greatest horrors ever committed; you can be persuaded to vote against your own interest. I will never forget that moment. My mom was with us and she was speechless.
Classicism & your social status often influences more than race or sex. When it comes to beliefs and having your own independent thought. Some woman go from her parents house to her husbands, live a comfortable life for the most part and never ever “suffer” economically. So they often vote as her husband votes because they have had no need to develop their own separate identity other than mom/wife. They haven’t lived on their own, took possession of their inviduality or can take of themselves aside from their hubby. Seriously, if their husband passed or left them they would have zero knowledge of how to take care of themselves. these are often the women that vote as their white husbands. I have friends like these women and most of them voted Republican. Rich kids or high income families would fall into the same boat. The minorities voting for Trump probably have a higher economic status or believe they are falsely in that space (same as white men)?
Does Junior even have a job? It seems like he’s either hosting Republican campaigns every day and posting vicious anti-Democrat tweets 24 hours a day. Jobless Junior is a turd that didn’t fall far from the asshole
Don’t get me started. In this cast of deplorable, soulless “leaders” and their minions, Junior is the absolute WORST to me. He is garbage.
How come Eric never says anything? Not that I want him too, but maybe his brother takes up all the space.
H, Eric says plenty. All garbage, too. But somehow he manages to keep a lower profile. I tend to think Don Junior likes to be the alpha.
The fact that anyone thinks they might have any credibility on anything political enrages me beyond words
It was an all expenses paid trip and they still barely filled a medium-sized conference room.
*insert shrug emoji
Ha, that explains the tight cropping in the photos!
Internalize enough racism and misogyny, and you can delude yourself into thinking you can buy your way into their club. The reality is, of course, that you can’t, you never will, and they’ll have a harsh awakening later.
West and Owen are like Samuel L. Jackson’s character in Django. They want to show they’re a “good one”, not like all the other black people out there. They are so overwhelmed with internalized racism they don’t care that they are cozying up to the very people that would opress them.
That makes sense. It’s so messed up and sad.
On top of everything else the Blexit design is terribly lame and the hats are butt ugly! The picture I saw had the design in orange on a stonewashed denim hat.
I’m convinced next he’s going to start bleaching his skin white like Sammy Sosa. After that maybe he’ll move to Utah, who knows?
This man is a clown.
He is an attention seeking idiot and the people who follow him need to educate themselves because he is not.
I’ll gladly chuck in for a one-way ticket to Uganda for this gronk. He is well past his use-by date as a contributing member of society. #KanyeIsOver
The people of Uganda don’t deserve such punishment.
I’m thinking of designing a line of Kexit shirts for folks exiting Kanye West. Feeling like maybe you shouldn’t support this moron by buying his music, going to his concerts, or wearing his ugly clothes? Time to Kexit!
Lol!
I think we should change that to “Yexit”. He is Yesus afterall.
Black folks wouldn’t follow Kanye to the buffet line at a rib joint, so no we’re not going to leave the Democratic Party to join the political party of the KKK.
This just tells you how stupid Kanye thinks Black people are. He thinks all he has to do is design a dumbass shirt to get Black people to do as he says. I can’t stand him.
Did anyone else see Trump speaking to young black leaders assembly just in the last couple days? It was an entire room filled with young black men wearing MAGA hats and fan-boying over Trump addressing them. So f*cked up. Very depressing,
I hope someone gets names and pics of every single one of them wearing MAGA hats so that it can be used against them later on when they use their skin color to appeal to black folks to push the conservative agenda of anti immigrants, anti lgbt, “law/order”, etc, etc.
I’m wondering how many of them were paid to be there.
@Carmen
Well I certainly hope so cause they were seriously fan-boying over him. Even if they were being paid, it’s still very misleading to all the gullible people out there that might see it.
What a grotesque human.
This f*cker has admitted to NEVER voting…and he said he doesn’t like to read. He is NOT the one to listen to !
They just want black folks, like poor white folks, to vote against their interest. Truthfully, what we really need in this country are viable other parties outside of Republican and Democrat. Until that happens, it’s not surprising that a large majority of black voters are going to vote for Democratics. Why would you vote for those in a party that doesn’t even bother to hide it’s contempt for poor people, and black and brown people.
I mean why on earth would any black person vote for someone like Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Rob DeSantis, Jack Kemp, etc – when they’d take away your “right” to vote in a heartbeat and delegate you to third class citizenships in a heartbeat – hell it’s already happening. Heard about the massive voter roll purges in Georgia and Florida? Hint hint those purged were disproportionally black.
Kanye is straight up coon. He’s shucking and jiving because he is desperately seeking the approval of powerful white people.
Also, I’d encourage everyone to listen to the Seeing White series that Scene on Radio did. It’s a 14 part series on the origins of Race and Whiteness in America and it is magnificent. It’s a podcast.
He needs attention like a junkie needs dope and if he can’t get it from making great music or designing great clothes (plans A and B) he’ll get it real easy with this “Slavery was a choice”, “Trump has Dragon Energy” bullshit.
lol
Is that West just donated over $70,000 to the Democratic mayor candidate in Chicago?
Yeah, that’s what I read.
Moronic moron.
How many of these shirts do you think they will sell?
They probably only printed up a dozen or so of those t-shirts and hats. I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump or Kanye himself buys them up to make it look like Trump is getting the black votes. That type of tastic works for the Trump voter.
This is probably why Kanye went to go see Trump before he left the country. It wouldn’t surprise me if this was Trump idea, Kanye it’s basically a puppet.
I agree. They probably only printed a few so they can brag about how they ” all sold out” due to high demand. Oldest business trick there is !
The Kardashians seem to use that tactic quite a bit to make their products seem more desirable than they actually are. Don’t know if Kim will mention the idea to Kanye under the circumstances, though.
He’s so unattractive on both the inside and outside.
Funny because Travis Scott was campaigning for Beto.
Nice dilated pupils, Ye. Off his meds and self-medicating.
It’s always about money with this family $$$, (selling t-shirts,) there are more intelligent people to speak on the black republicans party behave besides ignorant, krazy kanye, they don’t need him, this black rep. party existed before he was even thought of in his mother’s womb, sit down!! Somewhere blabber mouth. If i didn’t already wanted to vote democrats, i would now.
Why not give away the t-shirts for free, if he’s such a believer in the Orange Maroon? Every person wearing one is a walking billboard.
When Kanye first came out with his music, I thought he was brilliant. I really enjoyed his earlier work. That being said, I think there is something seriously wrong with him. I don’t know if the death of his beloved Mother caused a psychological break, but he has never been the same. I actually am worried for his well-being.
Shut up Kamye. Go away Uncle Tom! Wondering what kind of favors you owe, buddy.
Wow.
….somewhere under the whitehouse Kayne is strapped to a table..screaming for help that will never come while his trumpette puppet Kanye MAGA robotard peddles tee shirts and spews trumpisms to the world. …..
No, he’s not. This is who Kanye is in 2018.
Does anyone in the African American community take this fool seriously? The black heroes of 2018 are Andrew Gillium and Stacey Abrams, give them your time, your money and for the love of God, your VOTES!!!!
I know he’s I’ll, but I truly dislike him and always have. Genius, my ass!
And that header pic. It’s a cry for help. He looks nearly catatonic. Glazed. Dumb.
It’s overwhelming when you try to explain how psychopathic/abusive relationships full of projection and lies works— except, the relationship is the president and a good portion of an entire country’s population. Millions of peple are in this abusive relationship with the president where he lies, distorts, projects, and vilifies all of reality and all the wrong targets….. this is classic behavior, but at this level?—- just wow. I didnt realize it was possible. How do you undo it? …. can’t really…. until each individual realizes its a sham one by one…
Kanye’s support of Trump shows just how mentally distressed he really is! No one in their right mind could believe his nonsense. Or should I say THEIR nonsense. Please vote!
