Kanye West is Black and I think that’s really import to understand in this story. Democrats are accusing Republicans of racism because *checks notes* Kanye West. As you may know the bi-polar former Trump-supporting rapper is running for president and he just qualified for the ballot in the battleground state of Wisconsin. Democrats are worried that West is going to siphon off votes for Joe Biden to help President Trump win the state. Republicans have absolutely nothing to do with this, but somehow the democrats says this makes them racist.
KYMA reports:
Black Democratic officials and organizers in Wisconsin watched in horror as rapper Kanye West appeared to qualify for the state’s presidential ballot this week with the help of Republican operatives — not because they are worried he will be successful, but because they believe the GOP efforts are based on racist, lazy assumptions about young Black people.
West in recent days — with the help of veteran Republican lawyers and operatives — has filed petition signatures and paperwork to run for president as an independent candidate in several states. To date, West is on the ballot in Illinois, Oklahoma and Vermont. In Arkansas, Missouri, West Virginia and Wisconsin, he has made the ballot but the signatures he submitted have not yet been verified. His campaign also submitted signatures to get on the ballot Wednesday in Colorado and Ohio.
This report keeps claiming that West was helped by GOP operatives, but they offer no proof mostly because it’s complete bullshit. Speaking of which, they also try to tie President Trump to this conspiracy theory:
He’s been helped by Republican operatives and welcomed by GOP state officials, an effort that’s been effectively green-lit by President Donald Trump, who on Wednesday said he had “nothing to do” with West qualifying for states’ ballots but that the rapper has “got a good heart, a very good heart. And I like Kanye very much.”
Now get ready for the cries of racism:
“They assume Black guy, rapper — jackpot! It’s like that is their only association with Black people — color of skin and hip-hop music,” said Wisconsin lieutenant governor Mandela Barnes.
“The immediate other response is, how incredibly offensive and racist it is to really just think that Black voters aren’t going to understand the tricks that they’re trying to play,” said progressive agitator Angela Lang.
“It’s racist. They’re not even trying to hide the racism. This is the same thing we’ve been screaming about forever. It’s just, the Republicans aren’t trying to hide it this time,”said Chris Walton, the Milwaukee Democratic chairman.
At least he admits democrats are screaming all the time about racism.
Just to be clear, what these democrats are screaming about is that Republicans are racist because they didn’t do anything to stop a black man from running against an elderly white guy.
I’ll have to check the handbook, but I’m pretty sure discouraging a black person from seeking office is racist and if that black person is running against a white person it’s extra-racist.
Speaking of which, check out what Nina Smith, Pete Buttigieg’s campaign spokeswoman, had to say:
“It is not surprising at all that they would fall into racist tropes and stereotypes about Black voters, who are not a monolith,” said Smith.
Joe Biden literally said all black people are the same a couple of days ago and already the democrats are blaming Republicans for his racism. These people are nuts.
And because democrats are nuts it’s not always easy to figure out what they are bitching about. I have narrowed it down to these possibilities:
1. It’s racist for black people to run for office.
2. It’s racist to oppose white people running for office.
3. It’s racist for Republicans to refuse to help white democrats get elected to office.
I guess it could be all 3 but whatever the case, the word “racism” has lost all meaning.
