Recently, Kanye West starred on an SNL episode where he did, said, and wore controversial things, AND PEOPLE ARE STILL SURPRISED! Kanye West has always been one to speak his mind since very early in his career so I don't know why people are surprised. Words and thoughts are supposed to make you feel something and clearly Kanye's comments make people feel a certain way, but GUESS WHAT, their his thoughts and it's his mouth so HE CAN SAY WHAT HE WANTS.
I AM NOT SUPPORTING ANY OF KANYE'S COMMENTS, JUST FREE SPEECH.
I like that you chose to write about something that is very relevant to kids and teens today. Also you wrote about something that actually happened recently. I do agree with your statement that you support free speech as do I. How would this relate to u.s history though?
ReplyDeleteI do agree that it's a bit strange that people are still surprised by circumstances such as this. Especially in 2018, people have been expressing themselves in ways that were unimaginable in the past, but I feel like younger people are used to it, considering we've just always known this to be the norm. I am hoping that as people become more and more expressive and more confident to speak their mind, that controversial things won't be so surprising to us.

Kanye doesn’t care how controversial he is, he knows that he’ll get attention no matter what. Honestly, I’m kind of done with him at this point.
ReplyDeleteI STRONGLY AGREE!!!! Kanye West is one of those that speaks his mind however he wants, regardless of how other may think/feel about it...but pro-trump, wanting to abolish the 13th amendment and just causing controversy is ridiculous. IN MY OPINION!

DeleteI mean in that same appearance on SNL he performed in a Perrier bottle costume. The songs he performed weren't very deep and he makes many statements that are actually pretty ignorant. Free speech, I guess, and I'm glad SNL had a musical guest that supports Trump as most of their sketches are pretty obviously anti-Trump.

ReplyDeleteHey, at this point if he's not hurting anybody or negatively effecting anybody with his decisions like Donald Trump is, I say he can do or say whatever the HELL he wants to.
ReplyDeleteI don't think people are necessarily surprised he's speaking out because we all remember him doing it when he was putting out ye. I'm just surprised he's doing it despite his wife almost leaving him and him almost losing his career that he continues to openly support trump anyway? Does he support trump so much he's willing to give up everything or does he actually just love being disagreed with and being an outsider?
ReplyDeleteI love Kanye's music but his personal choices and lifestyle frustrate me. He quite clearly does everything for attention at this point, as he public endorsed Trump and made the "Slavery is a choice" remarks right befor releasing "Ye" and "KIDS SEE GHOSTS." He also recently said that the 13th amendment should be repealed and cchanged his stage name to "Ye," right before Yandhi was supposed to release AND HE HASN'T EVEN DROPPED IT YET.
ReplyDeletewait also this is me, DILLON QUICKSALL
DeleteI don't really think people are surprised he's being controversial; it's just that what he says is so nonsensical that people are frustrated. I personally think that people with so much cultural influence should use their powers for good- not to misguide people. I cannot see how Kanye could actually believe we need to abolish the 13th amendment--unless he's actually in the sunken place like people somewhat jokingly say.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on the fact that Kanye has been speaking his mind for almost all of his career now, so people being surprised is surprising. I also like how you put that you support freeedom of speech because even thought I don’t agree with Kanye on most things he says, I do support freedom of speech and I respect that everyone gets to have their own opinion.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you said about freedom of speech. I don’t agree with much that Kanye said, but his deserves to be heard like others.
ReplyDeleteI honestly can't even take Kanye seriously. I have no idea how anyone else does. I suppose it's easier to think of it as a joke as opposed to irritation from someone's *ridiculous* actions. Then again, I would probably feel differently if I looked up to Kanye or something
ReplyDeleteI agree with having the right to expression of beliefs and opinion, and that Kanye was just using his influence and position to communicate a point of view, but I just think that the way he does so is ignorant and unclear- I mean, if you want to make your voice heard, at least make it comprehensible. Abolishing the 13th amendment? Ranting on SNL that liberals have taken over media and are creating suppression of thought- okay sure, maybe liberals have a bigger platform to voice their thought, but couldn't you say the exact same about people on the right who try to enforce their opinions on others as well? So please tell me Kanye- how is ranting on SNL about supporting Trump going to help people "try love and make the world move forward"?
