you have 200 threads and 5 followers bro maybe you should get some help 🙏

What does him being mentally I’ll have to do with anything?

YTT

No I’m not.I could care less about Kanye changing his name. That’s not for me to speak on.

I’m just explaining to your stupid ass why the term “slave name” is a thing.

You niggas just be on here to argue

Its a crazy irrational decision

him cutting his hair like this is actually one of the least crazy things hes done in the past 6 months

It’s not like he did this out the blue. He been wanting to do this for a while.

Damn bro really bringing up followers on an internet forum

That’s fine but he also lived in a different time than we do. I’m African American and I accept my culture. I don’t know anything about Africa. I know the history of the us. I what my ancestors went through and how hard they fought for me to be where I am. My name is honor to them. But if you choose to look at it like malcom that’s you I guess

mods woulda locked this s*** by now but they busy sucking d***

Oh ok. That's smart.

That’s how YOU choose to look at it. Not everyone feels the same way as you

He is now the Artist formerly known as Kanye

And the names I listened were names of white racists and slave masters get are common black first names still. Go all the way or don’t go at all

Slave name is his last name not his first. But bro already explained. Thanks.

No way 💀💀

You don’t have to identify with Africa culture, Malcom is just stating the facts. It has nothing to do with how we feel or even his time. The fact is that our names was given to us to associate us as property.

Ye, Malcom or anyone who decides to change their last name because of this isnt disrespecting or erasing their lineage. It’s acknowledging a common fact.

And I don’t have to listen to niggas say I have a slave name when I don’t.

How would I find my last name? I’d be taking some African name that I know nothing about no? And it’s not even disrespectful as that’s of course our motherland, but I’m African American. We’ve been looked down upon by all other races and ethnicities. So why not embrace what I am and carry on my culture and teachings with my last name? And that association no longer applies.

it’s been a decision he’s had since 3 years ago. you know claiming bipolar tax on everything he does is weird as hell

I wanna know the convo ye had with his barber

I mean bro we have English last names but we come from Africa. I see where you think “slave name” implies that were less than but I don’t view it that way. I’m proud of being AA regardless

Personally I wouldn’t change my name cause I don’t associate it w slavery. I associate w my family but that doesn’t change the ugly truth that it was given to my fam by a European

no you’re not you can’t erase your lineage with a name change and also it is a slave name. west definitely not some s*** his ancestors had as their last name before they were shipped over. you just arguing to argue
