My 20 Critical Takeways from YE for YOU (in no order of importance):
🚨 LONG KANYE POST ALERT 🚨
Kanye is NOT:
1. Being discriminated against.
2. Being persecuted for free speech
3. Exposing the Illuminati
4. Kanye/Ye is Suffering consequences for his actions.
5. Just because speech is FREE don’t mean it won’t cost you.
6. The old folks used to say “Don’t write ✍️ a check with your 👄 that your 🍑 can’t cash.” This situation aligns.
7. The benefit of Partnership and Employment in America is a choice and privilege - not a right.
8. None of us have the RIGHT to offend partners, employers or anyone else and still be entitled to the partnership or it’s benefits 💴.
9. You aren’t going to partner with, pay or employ anybody that is disrespectful to you or your family so what makes you think companies like Adidas have to?
10. See number 8.
11. You are not entitled to retain the partnership, support, business, services or money of anything you disrespect. (See #8)
12. A lot of people actually hinder their personal economic progress because they see #8 as a game they don’t want to play. (Looking at you Monique 👀)
13. Playing the game is optional. Getting rewarded from the game when you won’t play by the rules is impossible. (Looking at Mo again 👀)
14. Others get to define what respect is to them, what it looks/feels like and they reward/consequence of such.
15. Choices have consequences. You get to decide the choice - not the consequence.
16. It is upsetting that there is tolerance and normalcy for disrespect towards Black folks. Yet The principle in #12 still stands.
17. As a culture, Black Americans are so comfortable with abuse that we believe it’s not abuse if it’s not happening on par with what we are enduring.
18. Instead of complaining about Anti-Semitic standards, adopt them. Cuz as a black woman I want all of y’all to keep our name out your mouth. #BonnetChronicles
19. Kanye is unwell. And he is exhibiting a lot of behaviors that are symptomatic of various diagnostic categories that respond well to EARLY behavioral therapy and EARLY treatment.
20. A lot of folks are talking about this because he is a celebrity. Many people need to be talking about this because there are a plethora of symptoms he has presented for years that lend themselves to tons of issues in you, your loved ones, and YOUR CHILDREN that respond well to therapy and treatment.
My thoughts: Kanye has lost $1.5B in a matter of days, and folks say he's a genius? Unless the definition of genius has changed, there's nothing smart about losing billions in a matter of days for talking crazy. A "genius" would make the system work in their favor.
