is kanye okay? mariela lomeli

     Everyone knows that Kanye West has a personality that is out of this world and lead to him to posting things to the social media especially tweeter. His tweets have set up controversy just his recent tweet, " To Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, New York Times, and any other white publication. Please do not comment on black music anymore." He advised to "white publications" to not comment on black music and spoke with love and cautioned folks to " Shut the F*ck up and enjoy the greatness."This has caused fans to start praying for him and use the hashtag #PrayForKanye to outlet their concern.
     This connects to U.s history because there is African-American involvement in music such as the Harlem Renaissance and suppression of people that continues to this day. There are also many individuals who resent the stealing of culture from the black community and see privilege as a way of going away with it.
     Honestly, I prefer Kanye over Trump any day-at least I get to stay in this country-and Kanye running for president in 2020 whether serious or not seems exciting.However Kanye will keep being Kanye and no-one can stop him not even Kanye himself. Sometimes I fell that Kanye is a demagogue for the movement of blacks but other days I'm not so sure.
