Hear YE, hear YE, hear YE: Kanye West Rips Democrat Welfare State on SNL
2018-10-03
[Breitbart] A Make America Great Again hat-wearing Kanye West ended the 44th season premiere of Saturday Night Live with an impassioned political speech that saw the Grammy-winning fashion icon defend President Donald Trump.

“The blacks weren’t always Democrats. You know it’s like the plan they did, to take the fathers out the home and put them on welfare. Does anybody know about that? That’s a Democratic plan,” West said, flanked by SNL cast members and his collaborative musicians Kid Cudi and 070 Shake. “There’s so many times I talk to, like, a white person about this and they say, ‘How could you like Trump? He’s racist.’ Well, uh, if I was concerned about racism I would’ve moved out of America a long time ago.”

West continued to stress America’s need for a serious “dialogue, not a diatribe.” A portion of the speech was captured by comedian Chris Rock and went viral on social media.

#9  The Dem plantation is breaking up?

In recent polls African-American approval of President Trump doubled — though whether that is from 4% to 8% or from 8% to 16% depends on which poll one consults.

#8  Tell 'ya.

Wife was on the 'let's hear what she has to say' wagon until she was flipping through channels Sat. night and came across SNL's mAtt dAmen skit.


Five minutes later:
'Eff this, eff these people.'

#7  "The Dem plantation is breaking up?"

I believe Trump is working on it indirectly through low unemployment and through some long overdue prison reforms that he's happy to let Kanye and Kim take the lead on.

He's done far more for African Americans in his first two years in office than Obama managed in eight. I believe a lot of blacks see this even if they won't say so at this point until there is some kind of tipping point.

#5  ...art of the deal.

Not to be confused with two wolves (Congress) negotiating how to cut up the sheep (taxpayers).

#4  When the dust settles and history books are written the black community will hail Kanye and will believe that he cleverly used Trump to get the prison reform he was working on.

Conservatives will believe that Trump cleverly used Kanye to break the monolithic Democrat thinking in the black community.

#3  Ya know, I was disgusted with Kanye when he interrupted Taylor Swift's award a few years back but now I'm warming up to him. Kind off fearless of him to stand in a pack of liberals and say that.

#1  Chris Rock was saying something along the same lines in his "Niggaz v black people" sketch.
