    Cool Democrats Worst Nightmare about Kanye West just came True

    It's happening. Suddenly, a lot of young black men aren't all in for the Democrats anymore.

    Black men's approval for Donald Trump has absolutely doubled, according to a new Reuters poll, and his overall support among blacks has risen sharply. This seismic shift just happens to coincide with rap superstar Kanye West's break with the Hollywood left, coupled with his open admiration for Donald Trump. According to the Daily Caller:

    A poll taken on April 22, 2018 had Trump's approval rating among black men at 11 percent, while the same poll on April 29, 2018 pegged the approval rating at 22 percent. It should be noted that Reuters only sampled slightly under 200 black males each week and slightly under 3,000 people overall.

    Trump experienced a similar jump in approval among black people overall, spiking from 8.9 percent on April 22 to 16.5 percent on April 29.

    Kanye made his remarks on April 25, and much of the left panicked, calling him a sell-out, a traitor to his race, and other typical epithets black people who don't toe the Democratic Party line have endured for years. Kanye responded by doubling down, posting a picture of himself with an autographed MAGA cap, and calling Trump his "brother."

    What this poll represents is Democrats' worst nightmare coming true. Their black voting base, which has been taken for granted for years, is suddenly in play, and in a year when Democrats have assured themselves that they have the retaking of Congress in the bag. Black turnout is what put Barack Obama in office in 2008, and now even black support is no longer a given for them.

    It's probably not Kanye alone who is responsible for this, given the stunningly improved state of the Trump economy, where black unemployment has dropped to historic lows. But Kanye was probably the activator. Black people can see that their job prospects are the best in history; they can see the bigger paychecks; they can relate to Kanye's recent remarks that Barack Obama did zilch for the black community in his hometown of Chicgo; and suddenly, Kanye's break makes sense to them, just as it does to an extreme individualist like Kanye. It all falls into place.

    The shift in black opinion represents a major break in the cultural firewall that has kept black people from embracing the Republican Party and left them taken for granted by Democrats. Do Democrats pay any attention to widespread black views on gay marriage or transgenderism, for example? Do they pay any attention to whether black teenagers need jobs and how calls for minimum wage hikes shut them out of the market? Do Democrats pay any attention to how gun-free zones facilitate violence in black neighborhoods in places such as Chicago? Do they pay any attention to how illegal immigration has driven down the wages of black unskilled workers? Not in the least: The only thing they ask themselves is where else black people can go – and well, now they have their answer, because Kanye opened that door.

    Same thing I thought when I heard Maxine waters say that Kanye was talking 'out of turn'. If a Republican had said that about a black Democrat you wouldn't hear the end of it. So now they're all just trying to marginalize Kanye. Although I do think that Kanye, just like Trump, doesn't need to make ludicrous statements that hurts instead of helps, such as Kanye just saying that slavery 'sounds like a choice' in reference to it going on for 400 years.

    Actually I was trying to get the video to play in the post but looks like I couldn't make it work.

    Like I told someone on FB concerning the same thing, Kanye West went overboard with that statement. But I personally do not believe he meant it the way that it is being thrown around in the media and the way that everyone is reacting to it. No one with any common sense believes that Africans ran up to the white man and begged to be taken, beaten, raped and worked to death and I have to give Kanye West some credit for having more intelligence than to believe that as well. It would be better that he be given a chance to clarify what he meant and that we give him the benefit of the doubt as we would desire others do for us when we make stupid statements.

    But yeah, both Kanye and our president really do need to control their mouths. That being said, I am very proud of the job the president has done despite the opposition he continually faces.

    I agree with VW. I don’t think he meant it that way either. Kanye has never been one to articulate well, he and President Trump are similar in that way.
