And while West has said plenty of crazy and often not politically correct things, he has never been publicly shamed to the point of woke ‘cancellation.’ His music is too good and his fans are too loyal.īut perhaps the immortal nature of West’s career will be a positive force for the pro-life movement. Something this forthright about the nature of abortion has rarely been discussed by such a renowned, particularly African American, celebrity as Kanye West. In response to those who are supposedly concerned about his mental health and claim his views are irrational and emotional, West tweeted, “I cried at the thought of aborting my first born and everyone was so concerned about me … I’m concerned for the world that feels you shouldn’t cry about this subject.” As West suggested, one should be deeply grieved over the thought of aborting a child. West even tweeted on July 31, “Over 22,500,000 black babies have been aborted over the past 50 years.” According to census data and general estimates, this number is not an exaggeration.
Many African Americans have accepted abortion as a solution for unwanted pregnancies without discussing the emotional and traumatic effects it can have, such as broken homes, suicide, and depression. But perhaps West’s platform on pro-life rhetoric goes deeper than a bipolar episode. One key matter that’s not mentioned on West’s website, but is a regular point of discussion at his public events and on his Twitter, is the matter of abortion.Īt West’s South Carolina rally on July 19, he began weeping as he yelled, “I almost killed my daughter!” Although the crowd shouted back with words of encouragement, media outlets attempted to label his distress as a mental health issue.
Some of his key issues include promoting prayer in classrooms, legal justice reform, and an “America First” foreign policy that resembles that of the current administration. West released his Kanye 2020 platform through a website that details 10 key issues, all based in Scripture, that he’ll focus on in his presidential agenda.

West’s platform is truly a movement that allows the Black community to break free from the assumption of voting Democrat. Sure, there’s no way he could actually win, but the platform he provides for forgotten Black voters - who are concerned for their communities, hold a faith underrepresented by the Democratic Party, and care about the well-being of their children - could be a way to correct long-lasting misinformation and disempowerment. Threatening them to the point where this white man can tell a Black man if you don’t vote for me, you’re not Black.”Īlthough media outlets have attempted to write off West’s controversial opinions as the result of bipolar disorder, his public appearances and statements could prove monumental for the Black community. And that’s what the Democrats are doing, emotionally, to my people. West has also shown his distaste for Biden, explaining in the same interview: “I was threatened as a Black man into the Democratic party. To say that the Black vote is Democratic is a form of racism and white supremacy.” However, he did say he is taking off the red ‘Make America Great Again’ hat for now. In his Forbes interview, West alluded to this, saying, “I’m not denying it, I just told you. Many pundits have claimed that West started his bid in order to divert some Black American votes from Democratic nominee Joe Biden. He sat for a Forbes interview about his presidential bid, he held a campaign rally in South Carolina, and he’s even made his way onto the ballot in the states of Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia. Since then, West has acted on his pledge.
I am running for president of the United States … #2020VISION.” This past Fourth of July, West announced in a tweet, “We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future. It was rapper Kanye West - and he kept his word. It wasn’t Joe Biden, nor incumbent Donald Trump, who said this at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards. “In 2020, I am running for the president of the United States.” Rapper Kanye West uses his presidential campaign to speak out against abortion.
