Kanye West revealed in a TMZ interview on Tuesday that he wanted to apologize to George W. Bush for saying in 2005 that the president did not care about black people in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Kanye West said he was always told not to apologize to Bush, but that he recently saw the former president pushing his father’s wheelchair at Barbara Bush’s funeral in March, and he felt sympathy for him. “Do you know how bad I would want to go to George Bush and say I’m sorry for hurting you. I was an artist I was hurting when I went up to the telethon,” Kanye explained. “I said something in the moment, but when I look at you as a Dad, and a family member, I’m sorry for hurting you.” West repeated in his interview with TMZ founder Harvey Levin that he wanted to treat people like humans and spread more love across the country. “Does God want you to love everyone? … If you start thinking about love and start feeling love and thinking about forgiveness, then you can overcome things,” Kanye said. Love has been the theme of Kanye’s recent free thought campaign, in which he’s challenging people to break free from there “thought prisons.” The “808s & Heartbreak” singer also slammed the fake news media in his recent TMZ interview, referring to it as “torture porn” for losers.

Mmmmm. Maybe this guy did have a road to Damascus moment. Still not sure what to make of him, though.
He preaches FREE THINKING... and warns people to form their own opinions based on something other than the libtarded indoctrination of Hollywood and MSM. It was that libtarded indoctrination, that kept West from apologizing for this comment, after he said it... and he states he won’t be a SLAVE to that pressure any longer.
The minute this hurts his brand seriously, he'll make a beeline for the plantation. You know he will. How many times have we seen this same short-lived drama over the years?
He might surprise you. He’s a potato with a cause... he will be stubborn. Once he takes it so far down the road, ain’t no going back. Good for him. I’m actually surprised that he can think so deeply.
Kanye has incentives not readily apparent. HotAir: Poll: Kanye West now four times more popular among Trump voters than Hillary voters, today But why were they anti-Kanye three years ago? Today he’s at 13/68 among Dems; in 2015 he was at 17/64. Basically no difference. The guy told the country during a nationally televised telethon that George W. Bush didn’t care about black people. What more can a liberal ask of him? He’s at 34/43 among Republicans today, up from 11/74(!) in 2015. You don’t see many people gain 54 net points in their favorable rating very often, particularly when we’re measuring celebrities and polling right-wing audiences. When you tweak the sample to ask people their feelings on Kanye based on how they voted in 2016, the left/right divide becomes even starker. To break that down for you, that’s nine percent of Clinton voters who are strongly or somewhat favorable of West (and 74 percent who are strongly or somewhat unfavorable) versus 36 percent of Trump voters who are strongly or somewhat favorable (and 40 percent who are strongly or somewhat unfavorable). Basically, Hillary fans now hate Kanye almost as much as they hate Trump while Trump voters are at about break-even on him. Assuming that most of Kanye’s fans lean Democratic, that means either Kim Kardashian is the new breadwinner in the family or Kanye had better invent the genre of country-rap and tour only red states in the future. . . . It won't last. He'll be back on the plantation in the next month or so, once the real cost of his flirting with the white Right becomes apparent. He will be made to pay and there are talented and powerful people working on that goal right now.
We shall see...
A few opening skirmishes in deplatforming that Negro who has left the plantation. These are just an opening volley, a hint of things to come if he won't quickly return to the plantation and abase himself for his errors.

The salvo has definitely started. it will be interesting to see how long Mr. West can withstand them before he raises the white flag.
If they demonetize his Adidas contract, that's major trouble for the Kanye empire. And he does have a brand empire worth billions, like Oprah's. I assume this is only the first major salvo they will deploy against his escape from the Plantation. "Just come back, Kanye, and all will be forgiven."
But will they take him and bullwhip him in public to make an example of anybody else who tries this?
Snoop Dogg got somebody to do a photoshop of Kanye as a white man and posted it on Instagram. Takes a lot of nerve, considering Kanye is about twice as dark as Snoop Dogg is. Snoop Dogg is probably Kanye's main competitor commercially. Kanye is also taking attacks from John Legend, Samuel L. Jackson, and Kumail Nanjiani. I'm sure there's a lot more to come.
I saw something earlier about that today. Hey there's a lot of capital to be made by being black, gay, etc. Best to cash in on it. I hope I'm not that cynical, but I think I might be.

Money, ratings, fame, market share do more to explain Kanye's profound change of heart than anything else. He's playing a game for his own benefit and nothing more. He is a gaping maw of empty craving for fame and power and attention. Especially attention. And that tells us all we need to know about Kanye The Republican Negro. The most surprising number here, actually, is how unpopular Kanye was among Democrats even before he went full MAGA. I can understand them turning against him once he put his Trump cap on, just as I can understand Republicans gaining newfound appreciation for him because of it. Especially since Trump’s been tweeting about him too.
