Kanye West shocker: I felt ‘persecuted as black man’ supporting Trump (so he’s only now revealing this)

Well, well, well.

Seems like I wasn’t the only black person to support Donald J. Trump for President after all.  Recently, at a concert, Kanye West came out and said that he would’ve voted for Trump had he voted.  The crowd’s reaction was mixed, but seemingly negative. Some people booed.  Some threw things.  By the end of the night, he’d apparently spent an HOUR talking about his political views.

Here’s how it started:

We have only bits and pieces of the speech since it was recorded by Twitter users.  Here’s the part I found interesting:

Kanye says Scooter Braun told him not to come out as a Trump supporter before election night.

And

Kanye said as a black man and as a celebrity he felt persecuted for supporting Trump, feels vindicated.

I get that, Kanye.  Here’s the thing — we can’t let our voices silenced because we’re afraid of criticism…  no matter when Voting Day occurs!
