Kanye, Come Get Your Boy: Trump Increasing Deportations of Black People to Country Known for Black Slavery
It’s getting hard to sustain the outrage, but we must. The Trump administration has now increased the deportation of undocumented immigrants back to Mauritania, a country known for enslaving its black residents.

I’mma Let Y’all Finish But SNL’s Chris Redd Just Did the Best Kanye West Impression of All Time
I have either run out of things to think and say about the things Kanye West is (presumably) thinking and (definitely) saying or I have exhausted the will to make that effort. I’m not sure which.

Kanye West Met With President Trump and We Need to Talk About It
I’m not sure if it was the part where Kanye West exclaimed that the ‘Make America great again’ hat gave him energy, his 10-minute rant, or the hug he gave Donald Trump … alright fuck it, it was the hug! HE HUGGED THAT BAMA! Kanye West. Southside’s own; the Louis Vuitton Don (who once brought…

Kanye West to Meet With Donald Trump to Discuss Things About a Lot of Stuff
In what is sure to be the lowest collection of IQs in a 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue room since George W. Bush cuddled with Millie, his puppy, President Donald J.

Watch: SNL's Pete Davidson Clowns Kanye's Off-Air MAGA Rant
Pete Davidson had a few words to say about Kanye West’s pro-Trump rant last week on Saturday Night Live. For folks who didn’t tune in last weekend, Kanye went on a very awkward pro-Trump rant off air after he performed. Here’s an excerpt: “So many times I talk to a white person and [they] say,…

10 Reasons Why Kanye West Going to Africa to Finish His Album Yandhi Might Work Out for Us All (It Also Might Not)
Kanye West—you may have heard of him—is on the move. On the heels of recent comments about the 13th Amendment and his apparent undying love for our current president and emergency alerter, Kanye has decided to venture to Somewhere In Africa to finish recording his second (you could argue third) album of 2018, Yandhi. The…
