Kanye is quite interesting to me. His mother and father were both college professors and he lived in China and even spoke some Chinese as a boy when his mother took a teaching job in Nanjing as an English professor

I know he hates Obama for calling him a jackass but it’s too bad they didn’t get along.

I don’t think Kanye is bipolar. He is just a rich fashion obsessed man whose pissed he never fit in the boys” club (with the other celebs, the moguls, in China, in Southside Chicago). He was always the weirdo and odd man out

Does anyone really care about Shaq's business arrangement? He has tons of them, and I imagine is fully aware of where he stands with his contracts. I think he's hilarious!

I'm sure plenty of black folks are angry and fed up with his antics. The people he's involved with via his music, business and fashion are the ones who could bring him back to earth, so to speak, but that would cost them $$$. When it comes to money, people (of all backgrounds) compromise on their better morals.

One of the black folks here, no we do not all support him and have not for a longtime. Some of us stopped well before the slavery comments (and don’t get me started on that), way way back to when he support DJT for President the first time. We are a varied people.

Another black person here, I was always a little skeptical of him. His misguided Katrina comments and slavery comments did it for me. He's always seemed full of himself and he's not as smart as he thinks he is. Most black folks have been done with him for years.

Really? When he said on live national TV that "George Bush doesn't care about Black people" it was the best of Kanye.

DP I agree with what he said but I think a lot of people thought he was a little “off” to make that remark and the others he made on live national television.
Worth a watch for those who haven’t seen it.

He is not remotely "fine" and never will be if he continues to refuse help.

Are you a medical doctor? Do you have multiple degrees other than online whatabout-isms?
Everything Kanye does is outrageous. I don't understand why people are upset. It works for Kanye.

I do, in fact, have three degrees. But he does have bipolar disorder, and anyone who can read is aware of that.

Medical degrees? Psychiatry? Or are you playing semantics with your MA in History?

This is simply not true. He is too culturally relevant and is almost sui generis in the current cultural milieu (Jay and Puff could and would never). The combination of what he brings is actually quite rare.

A once in a generation type of figure. Maybe more. It's fascinating to watch.

He was diagnosed by a team of medical professionals. He has talked about his life long mental health issues (doctors told his mother to start medicating him when he was 5 but she didn't want to). He has talked about his diagnosis of bipolar disorder and his psychiatric hospitalizations in the past. He has been in and out of treatment for his mental illness most of his life. Getting a high energy, highly creative person to take medication for bipolar disorder is a very, very difficult task. The meds change who they are as a person and their ability to do the things they like to do, that they feel they are good at. His illness has contributed to his success but it is also going to be his downfall.

People were outraged. Many black people told them to mind their own business.

I’m talking about cutting contracts and closing bank accounts. It speaks volumes gap and others stuck around back when he said black people chose slavery. What a joke! It’s not until someone says something of Jews. It’s the double standard for me.

OH hey way to compound the anti-semitism!

I disagree. It’s not okay what Kanye said, but it’s also true that nobody cared much until he made that comment. Nobody separated themselves from him when he was speaking anti black rhetoric.
