As of last week, something we assumed would forever be fact - that nobody without any political or military experience could become U.S. President - became fallacy.
But, rest assured that another thing we assume will forever be fact, will, in fact, remain a fact for now: nonsensical Kanye West outbursts.
You might wanna stop reading at this point, groaning to yourselves, "What now from this dude?" And I'll respect that. However, for the black folks who have that same impulse, I urge you to at least listen to Mr. West's oh-so-brilliant advice for your future, which he gave at a concert last Thursday:
"Before I get out of here I want to talk about race and the idea of racism in America and the world. Specifically to black people, stop focusing on racism. This world is racist, OK? Let's stop being distracted to focus on that as much. It's a f***ing fact. We are in a racist country."
Par for the course comments from the same man who, last year, said racism "played out like a style from the 1800s or something."
The guy who also just said he would've voted for Trump, yet donated a boatload of ducats to the Clinton campaign.
A once brave trailblazer who provided one of the greatest unscripted moments in TV history when he said, "George Bush doesn't care about black people."
How far the gay fish has fallen.
Kanye, you've gone from being a socially-conscious musical marvel to high-pitch voice antics and trolling Taylor Swift, in between spitting Sean Hannity rhetoric. Boss, what happened to you?
This isn't the same Ye' who gave me a soundtrack to get through 2004 with College Dropout. That one was a cocky prick too, but not nearly as much as his present version. That Kanye had some got damn sense in his head and actually called out BS, rather than just producing it.
But today's Louie Vuitton Don? He's turned into a 24/7 reality show, co-starring Kim K.
Kanye, do us all a favor. The next time an officer pulls you over in your L.A. neighborhood and feels like getting his Rodney King beating on while calling you "Boy," don't run to Black Twitter for backup. Cause they'll roast your ass. And you'll deserve every minute of it.
