West has also said many offensive things. During one of his concerts, he asked the audience to stand. A man in a wheelchair did not, so West refused to perform until he did. He held up his own concert because someone who physically could not stand, didn’t stand. 

     Not only has he been blatantly ableist; he has also supported many celebrities and political figures who have been proven, legally, to be horrible people. He has said both Bill Cosby and R. Kelly were innocent. Both celebrities have been legally charged with sexual assault on multiple accounts.

     He also said at one point that slavery was a choice… yes, a choice. He claimed that because it lasted 400 years, it was the slaves’ fault for not changing it. I tend to believe that if there is a country-dividing civil war over something, it’s not just a choice that could be easily fixed. I also don’t think that with 400 years of oppression, it would be very easy to just change it, especially when you have little to no outside support system. 

     West is also delusional. He has compared himself to Jesus, even titling one of his albums “Yeezus,” and he ran for president. It takes a seriously self-obsessed person to compare yourself to a religious deity, or run for president with absolutely zero qualifications, let alone do both. That only goes to show how much his ego has grown over the years. 

     In conclusion, I think Kanye West is a terrible person. I do not see how anyone can support a person like him. Holding him as highly as he is in the public light only serves to boost his already overinflated ego. It can only do more harm to continue giving him the massive platform he has.
