The announcement sent shockwaves through social media as West continues to be one of the most perplexing and polarizing celebrities in the world. There were those who celebrated the return of The Louis Vuitton Don and disregarded his actions that have left many of us slack-jawed. And then there are those (this writer included) who simply cannot forgive Kanye for his dangerous actions over the past several years. Not without an apology or explanation, at least. West told us that slavery was a choice, chummed it up with the “free-thinking” race-traitor Candace Owens, made a MAGA hat with an occasional confederate flag a part of his wardrobe, and got behind a president who has routinely demonstrated his xenophobia, sexism, and racism at a time when racial turmoil in this country was at a fever pitch.
