To Say'

On Monday, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) tore into Kanye West
for West's heresy in questioning the hegemony of the Democratic Party among
black Americans.
Asked by a Politico writer about West, Waters stated,
"Kanye West is a very creative young man. … But we also think that
sometimes West talks out of turn and perhaps he needs some assistance in
helping him to formulate some of his thoughts. We don't think that he actually
means to do harm, but we're not sure he really understands the impact of what
he’s saying, at the time that he’s saying it and how that weighs on,
particularly the African-American community – and for young people in
general."
She continued: "I understand that he is getting
pushback from a lot of young people on the internet … but we're hopeful that
his creativity will continue to be demonstrated in his work. And I think maybe
he should think twice about politics – and maybe not have so much to say."
"Talks out of turn"? "Maybe not have so
much to say"? West's entire point is that he should be able to speak out
in ways Maxine Waters doesn't like.
Waters' nonsense is incredibly paternalistic, obviously.
Imagine if a white person said something like this about, say, LeBron James.
Oh, wait, it happened, and the entire Left called Laura Ingraham a racist. But
when a two-bit grafter like Maxine Waters calls out Kanye West for saying
obvious things about the monolithic support for the Democratic Party among
black Americans, then she's treated as perfectly normal.
And there's tremendous irony to Waters calling West
uninformed, a person who needs help formulating his thoughts. This is a woman
who called the Los Angeles riots an "uprising." This is a person
whose husband, a major stockholder in OneUnited Bank, stood to see major
benefit from her position on the House Financial Services Committee. This is a
Congresswoman who said that Putin was invading Korea (not Crimea), said that
she was once a Millennial (nope), promoted abortion by saying, "I have to
march because my mother could not have an abortion" (wut) and claimed that
she never called for Trump’s impeachment after calling repeatedly for Trump’s
impeachment. But somehow Kanye’s the uninformed one? And Waters is the great
font of wisdom?
