Kanye West Mandela quote.
Seems like whatever Kanye West has been taking with his morning Cereal is badly going to his head.The latest outburst from the Rapper shows his ignorance and
his warped state of mind.He said in an interview today with WCGI Radio Chicago "I am the next Nelson Mandela,I'm only 36 years old, and when I look at everything I've accomplished, it's the only comparison that makes any sense. By the time I'm 95, I'm going to be a bigger hero than he ever
was." Now there is nothing wrong in saying this..we can all aim for lofty heihts in anything we wish to achieve,but for Kanye West to further say "Nelson Mandela did a lot of good work, don't get me wrong. But I think I'm on track to do something even bigger. I liberate minds with my music. That's more important than liberating a few people from apartheid or whatever.The last paragraph in particular is an absolute disgrace,its an insult to many generations of Black people who were killed and suffered terribly in the hands of Apartheid..Even if Kanye has said this for Sensationalism it is still a bloody disgrace and its high time somebody called this fool to order
When asked by the host Adrian Cronauer "What have you actually done for civil rights?" "Have you been involved in any campaigns? Any political activities? It seems to me comparing yourself to Mandela is a bit of a stretch." Kanye responded,
"I've blazed a trail with my career," West responded. "I faced immeasurable racism when I entered this profession. I mean how many black rappers can you name that came before me? I was a pioneer. And now I'm doing the same thing in the fashion world.
"Not to mention I have a bigger market than he ever did. Mandela was working in South Africa, which has, like what, six people? I started my magic here in the USA and then I took my business global. Worldwide baby.
"I just want everyone out there to know. I see y'all crying on the TV. Being all sad. Just know that Kanye's gonna carry on Mandela's legacy. There's nothing to worry about.
