Kanye West Quotes Dr. Sowell!

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, Kanye West, I never thought I’d be saying this, is starting to tweet some really fascinating things. He’s now quoting Dr. Thomas Sowell in his tweets.

Kanye West. Let me get to this before too much time goes by. Kanye West yesterday at about 20 minutes after 1 p.m., tweeted the following. As you know, Kanye West has been tweeting about the idea that African-Americans need to start thinking for themselves. They need to remove themselves from the Democrat Party and its clutches. And he has been tweeting that the Democrat hasn’t really done anything for black people, and that it’s time for black people to start taking care of themselves, thinking for themselves. They don’t all have to sound alike, don’t all have to say the same things, don’t all have to think alike.

And he has been catching grief from all of the usual leftist quarters.

Maxine Waters: “Kanye West is a very creative young man who has presented some of the most revolutionary material, but sometimes Kanye West talks out of turn, and perhaps sometimes he needs some assistance in helping him to formulate some of his thoughts.”

Now a former member of Snoop Dogg’s rap entourage is calling for gang members to assault Kanye West for his recent support of Donald Trump.

“Better not ever see you in concert. Better not ever see you around the LBC. Better not ever see you around California,” he says in the video. “Stay in Calabasas, ya hear me? ‘Cuz we got a Crip alert for Kanye.” And in the message reading, “Mess Kanye up,” except it’s not “mess.” It’s the F-bomb. “Mess Kanye up,” was also posted on Dillinger’s verified Twitter account.

And for Thomas Sowell to be known by Kanye West and then to be promoted — folks, there are people — I’m one of them — who have been trying to get the words of Dr. Sowell to African-Americans all over this country for the express purpose of educating them and liberating them from the groupthink and the stagnant existence that is theirs because they are loyal Democrats. For Kanye West to join the battle, this is not an insignificant thing.

“Good morning, brother. We have been chosen again to see another day, another day to evolve, another day to inspire,” is the opening of a tweet thread from Kanye. And then here’s the next tweet. “And these are the thoughts of Dr. Sowell. No. 1: It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance. No. 2: People who enjoy meetings should not be in charge of anything. No. 3: The most basic question is not what is best, but who shall decide what is best. The welfare state is not about the welfare of the masses. It’s about the egos of the elites.”

And he tweeted all that out. He tweeted it out to 27 million followers on Twitter or Facebook or whatever.
