My second Kanye thread today. Sorry about that but he's speaking the truth here. We're about to send $786 per American household worth of aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.
We need to focus on fixing our own cities.

If you really want to get pissed look how much we are giving to Iran. We fund all sides of every conflict!! Yeah!!!

He's not wrong.

Kanye is not wrong in his point.
He'd be even more right if he could cogently connect the thoughts that:
1) We should focus on fixing our own cities.
and
2) The same people who want to send that money overseas not only don't want to fix our own cities, but have purposefully destroyed our cities.
His really old quip standing on stage with Mike Myers, that "George Bush hates black people" wasn't entirely off in the context of neocon priorities (and possibly Bush Sr's alleged role in assisting the CIA in flooding inner cities w/drugs via offshore oil platforms during his oil days), but missed fairly attributing blame to all of the ba(D) guys / responsible parties.
I don't take Kanye seriously, but it is at times interesting to see moments of clear insight from him in between his manic and narcissistic fits (as mentioned in the other thread).

Sidenote for a laugh, I was so done with my ex that as part of the divorce agreement I happily paid half of her lawyer's fee just to be done with it. I never hired a lawyer because I didn't think it was needed. If she had listened she could have saved her self some money as well

We have been down this road before with ole’ Yee. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Probably have a better shot of fixing the Israel-Palestinian problem than the inner city problem in this country, TBH.
