@LFCH0 @albieamankona And that’s a choice. When you refuse medication, how often should you be given passes.
There isn’t medication to fully stop Tourette’s syndrome. The two illnesses aren’t comparable. Kanye is a multi millionaire who refused treatment and help. He’s got work to do

I went out to bat HARD for John Davidson after he shouted the N word at black actors and producers at the BAFTAs; against many in my own community. Davidson apologised, and his use of a racist slur was explained by his disability and I extended grace and forgiveness.
So here is the uncomfortable question. Kanye West has bipolar disorder. He has said his antisemitic outbursts are linked to it. He has apologised, more than once. Yet the reaction is entirely different.
Let me be clear. West’s antisemitism is vile. It is not edgy, it is not excusable, and it causes real harm. In the same way, a white person using the N word does. Both should be condemned without hesitation.
But condemnation is not the same as consistency. If we are prepared to treat disability as a mitigating factor in one case, we cannot simply ignore it in another because the individual is more controversial or the offence feels less convenient to forgive. Either disability meaningfully shapes responsibility, or it does not. Either apologies carry weight, or they do not.
If we only extend grace selectively, it stops being a principle and starts looking like preference.

@LFCH0 @albieamankona my mental health issues didnt make me, and doesnt make other people, become deeply tied to nazi ideology or sexually assault people with diddy, or make him say he hits women. are you gonna argue his sexual assault allegations are also a result of his bipolar and shouldnt matter?
English

@intherainbows3 @albieamankona Mental health issues aren’t black and white. You can’t comment whether or not he had control based on what you know. How do you know that his experience wasn’t worse and different from yours?
English

@albieamankona He’s a multimillionaire who refused treatment for years. He said slavery was a choice. He supported Nazi propaganda. Mental illness does not excuse the choice of him refusing medication and as a result the extremism he spouted. It feel insincere to apologize before an album drop
English

@intherainbows3 @albieamankona How do you know Ye chose to be anti semitic? Hes came out since then stating that he didn’t have control/ weren’t aware of what he was doing at the time. Also saying he did it for years isn’t a counter argument, people who suffer from bipolar can experience episodes for months.
English

@albieamankona attempting to compare these just makes Davidson look worse you understand that right ? attempting to compare something involuntary to something that Kanye chose to do and continued to do for years just comes off as ableist, and makes your defense of him feel disingenuous

@GoodAssSub Thank god I’m going Italy and Netherlands, I knew this would happen

@GhostTownYZY I’m confused is this just the album that’s already been released? If so what’s the point

@ScottPresler Thanks for the post. I am so struggling with bread and chocolate. Right now I think I would eat a tablespoon of raw cocoa if I had it lol

@MitchODT @kanyestreams1 Some songs are great but a lot need work and sound raw
English

The album is pretty good. One of the only downsides is you’re getting into the song but it ends early. Wish some of these songs were a little longer. Even if just 2-3 songs got extended, then it’d make the other short ones a little less noticeable.
It’s definitely an album you want to actually play throughout instead of play-listing songs because of that

@freddie_hndrxx Rest of the album is great, but work needs to be done on I can’t wait, circles, preacher man, beauty and the beast, last breath
