Kanye West's CAPS-LOCK Key Just Doesn't Know What To Think Right Now
The doors to the Crazy Church of Gay Fish swung wide opened last night on Twitter when Kanye West clogged up all of his followers' feeds for over two hours with his dreams for a brighter tomorrow, or some shit. Kanye's brain switched to thoughts on using iPhones in schools to starting a visionary company called DONDA (named after his late mom) to opening a summer school with Spike Jonze to interning for Kunty Karl to continuing Steve Jobs' legacy to I don't even know. It's like he was crying out for somebody to tell him that he needs less GOOP in his life, because you know you're on another level of lack of awareness when even Fishsticks Paltrow is buying you a one-way ticket back to earth.
If Kanye's CAPS-LOCK OMGLETMEBREAKMYMACBOOKAIR rants read like they were written by a Red Bull can on the wrong kind of crack, Kanye's latest Twitterologue reads like it was written by a seasoned weed bong on a generic kind of Valium. I don't know how to feel about this. Reading one of Kanye's Twitterrhea sessions just isn't the same when my eyeballs aren't backing up into my head to escape him overdosing on CAPS and !!!!!s.
As Kanye's CAPS-LOCK key and I stumble alongside each other into the scary unknown, you can read Gay Fish's entire plans for his Magnum Douchepus here. But if your bowels can only take so much of Kanye in the morning, here's the highlights. This is Kanye's ego on the good shit:
I moved to Rome after I left Japan and worked at Fendi for 4 months under cover ... I was there to give ideas for the men's collectionI snuck to Giuseppe Zanotti Factory still under contract and learned to design woman's shoes for 2 years before my first show in Paris
I knew about my woman's clothing was what my Mom would wear. I guess some critics would joke that I still don't know anything LOL
I was just discussing becoming the creative director for the Jetson movie and someone on the call yelled out.. you should do a Jetsons tour!
I have started a new company and I'm so excited about the name.... it's got the best name ever of all companies of all time!!!....
The name of the company is DONDA
DONDA is a design company which will galvanize amazing thinkers and put them in a creative space to bounce there dreams and ideas...
I am assembling a team of architects, graphic designers, directors musicians, producers, AnRs, writers, publicist, social media experts... app guys, managers, car designers, clothing designers, DJs, video game designers, publishers, tech guys, lawyers, bankers, nutritionist ... doctors, scientist,teachers...DONDA will be comprised of over 22 divisions with a goal to make products and experiences that people want and can afford...
I care about people who have never heard of me... There are over 7 billion people on the planet now...
Spike Jonze and I want to do a Summer school that tries new forms of curriculum
UNLESS YOU'RE A MATH MAJOR!!!! Kids you should be able to take majors starting in grammar school like how it is at performing art schools
Instead of kicking kids out of schools for using there iPhones... why not promote it? Allow kids to use search engines to do test...
We need to take what Michael Jackson felt and Mcqueen and Steve Jobs and we need make things better...
If anyone would like to reach out email us at contactDONDA@gmail.com
I just wanted to share what's been on my mind... ...But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas." - George Bernard Shaw
Right? It's kind of TOO lucid (for Kanye) and too coherent (for Kanye). You know the Mayans are right when Kanye's Tweets are gently whispering at you instead of burning your eye hairs off with his ALL CAPS SCREAMS!!!!!11!!!!!1!!!@#!!!
That being said, Josh Groban, you know what to do.
• 
I wonder if he knows you maybe need to be kind of a MATH MAJOR!!! to do most of those jobs he just wet-farted out. *Gay fish shrug*
DONDA? Sounds like something that needs to be flushed. As in "I gotta go DONDA".
**********
Shiitake happens...
He's trying to revolutionize how every aspect of the entire world works yet his company email is a gmail account. That says it all.
This is the result of a coke binge right? I did a line or two on new years and later saw some video of the night and everybody was talking non-sense just like this.

it's not the same, but I used to get asked a lot of ignorant stuff too. I kind of appreciated the ability to enlighten someone who would not have the opportunity to learn something new about the world otherwise, but then again, that shizz gets on your nerves. I mean, in college, my roommate and her boyfriend were in the room while I was doing my hair. they stared at me like I was an aurora borealis. I said "would you like to know how we Black girls straighten our hair"? and I proceeded to do a rain dance around the room, chanting "boom shaka laka get straight get straight" *eyeroll*
as for Black Americans being difficult, I dunno man, I encountered some rather *difficult* individuals in Paris over the years, in terms of their unwillingness to serve you. although last time I was there, my French was better, so they were pleasantly surprised, so they were nicer.
point being you are honored among the vast majority of us to be the one who shatters the stereotype. it's a burdensome burden, but I like to think you're helping to make it so the next Black American in Europe, or 20 years from now, can just travel and experience without having to be ogled and objectified.
good luck to you! hope to hear your music someday :)
Mama Bear/ditquoi:
I find that in Europe, they are perfectly fine with me entertaining them or playing sports, because by and large, they think that is all Black people can do. I just so HAPPEN to do these things for a living. That doesn't mean we ALL do. When I tell them I am a classically trained musician, they balk and stare at me and ask me why I don't rap or sing 'black music' (what they call R&B here). And I reply, "the last time I checked, Amy Winehouse was not black, and she seems to be singing black music just fine."
But it is very rare that a European wants me to educate them on what/how it feels like to be a minority in an extremely white part of the world. The amount of objectification is off the charts. I get asked questions that are absolutely THE most ignorant I have ever heard in my life. And when they ask me how my life is there, I am very upfront about it because I am not going to make it seem like the utopia they like to think it is.
I will also point out that The Netherlands is a very small country and the people there have access to better health care and education, yes, but I also have lots of black Dutch friends that tell me their own stories of racism in their country that you just would not be able to do in America without serious loss of money as a business or hiring practices.
In general, if you are black in Europe, you get treated as African. When I am asked where I am from and I say I am American, 9 times out of 10 the VERY next question is, "where are you really from/where are your parents from?". If they don't hear Africa come out of your mouth, they are slightly incredulous. As an American, I have also been told that we black Americans are 'too difficult' and 'want too much'. And that is because the black Americans I know in Europe are not conditioned to settle for less than what is equal and they voice it, whereas someone from Africa may be happy just to be in a part of the world where they have SOME opportunity as opposed to none at all.

Please...with a jacket like that, you should be the last person giving advice.
What an intelligent and interesting discussion about traveling to come out of a thread on the coke-addled, misinformed tweets of Kanye West.
Submitted by TheBreakdown on Thu, 01/05/2012 - 12:33pm.
absolutely. this is why I feel home schooling a child does not give the child a complete education. socialization is so very critical to producing a person who is able to relate to and interact with others.
what you said about Black Germans is very true for Afro Caribbeans as well, particularly those of the Spanish colonies.
it's just that I was told by a friend who studies this sort of thing for a living that The Netherlands is just as diverse if not more so than America but the disparities in level of education and health outcomes (obesity, diabetes, heart disease, etc.) is nil or almost nil. then again, they make it a priority to bike in The Netherlands, whereas in America, people would prefer to drive to their bed if they could.
man I miss traveling.
@ The Breakdown-
I'm with you honey. Without sounding trite, a Black head of state getting elected in a European country would be extremely unlikely.
In my experience, years ago, I had the worst time in Belgium. I was traveling with my best friend who is white, and NO ONE would speak to me. The Belgians acted as if I didn't exist, even though I speak French, not great French, but I have been a French teacher.
"I care about people who have never heard of me." Nuff said.
DP, sorry.
ditquoi:
In that regard, the same can be said about most European countries. Their education and health programs ARE better than America's, but education is not just what you learn in school. It is also about learning how to treat people that do not look like you. By and large, Europeans look alike and black Germans, for example, are not taught much, if anything, about the history of black people in that country. In America, you are exposed to all of our hyphenates' histories in school and exposed to different cultures whether you want to or not.
I think social awareness education is just as important as mathematics and medical aid.

That's interesting, Breaky.
I'm told that in The Netherlands, the racial and ethnic disparities that exist here in America in terms of education and health outcomes are nil or next to nil in The Netherlands.
Plus I have cousins who have lived there for almost 40 years...plus when I went there it was, by far, the most pleasant European experience I've ever had. Very, very diverse. Hope to move there if America ever implodes :D
I hear Istanbul is the city of cities...very jealous. Wish you could post pics. :)
ditquoi:
I thought it would be alot better there, but from my experiences and from the Afro-Dutch that I have met and spoken with, it is only marginally better there. And only because there is strength in numbers. Quite frankly, I would never raise my child in Europe in ANY country.
The only place I would consider is Zurich, but again, that is the exception, not the rule. And Zurich is so expensive, my children and I would be living under a fuckin' bridge begging Tina Turner for some of her private dancer money!

I am an African-American in Europe and I can tell you from first-hand knowledge that Europe is not more accepting when it comes to race. Their societies are less focused on race because there are FAR fewer people OF color to bring it to their attention on a day to day basis, unlike what you have in America.
And with all due respect, London is certainly not a true representation of the general racial makeup of Europe as there are far more people of every ethnicity there.
Quite frankly, there is no country better when it comes to giving everyone, regardless of race, the best opportunity at bettering themselves than America.
London is but one city, NOT a nation.
========
Ditto on all, Triston. And charlie, there is a different way that black Americans are treated than the native blacks in those countries, particularly those that were colonized by certain countries. So for example, France can treat their black citizens like shit but be very different with black Americans, as if they are all descendants from Big Red and Josephine Baker. Come on, it wasn't long ago that that German zoo had the African village next to the monkeys (http://www.spiegel.de/international/0,1518,359799,00.html). (And let's not forget the U.S. having the live pygmie on display at the Bronx Zoo.)
There is a great movement, Race Studies, going on in Europe, digging up archival materials and shit, seeing how race operates and all, very interesting stuff.
Check out James Baldwin's "Notes on (of?) a Native Son" about his travels in Europe (or anything by him, he's great).
cocoebert:
I live in Istanbul now. For the last two years. I will say that in Istanbul (and Turkey in general) they are not racist, because for the most part they do not have enough experience with black foreigners (although they have a sizable population of Black Turks). They are far more open to people that don't look like them because people in Turkey look very varied across the nation.
On the other hand, I get stared at there ALL day, swarmed when I go out, and asked a million questions so it is a different kind of stress. But it is a welcome change from what I received in Europe, in regards to race.
Merhaba ;)

Oh no, I am no fucking wallflower. More like a Venus Flytrap if you get up in my face with racist bullshit. It was not until I moved to Europe that I realized I was willing to die for my beliefs. I was called the N-word twice in America in 20 years. In ten in Europe. I have honestly lost count.
The only way it is going to get better is for there to be open dialogue about what is going on, both past and present. And that is not done so much here, and that is the main reason why it is stagnant.

How was your experience in Istanbul? I'm from there and have heard you mention it here before.

I have lived/performed/traveled to almost every country in Europe many times over the last ten years and I will openly debate anyone that proclaims Europe to be the most open part of the world. If anything, it is the worst when it comes to race relations. I am in Asia right now and the treatment I am getting here is nowhere near as bad as what I receive in Europe. For my artistic freedom, Europe is great. I rarely have to worry about being censored. But as far as civil rights and racism? It is not only blatant, but it is incessant and they have not even begun to address it, which is why there has been very little progress.
And when you even dare to discuss race in Europe, you will be verbally slapped within an inch of your life. But that's OK, because I have a smart mouth and can give as good as I take.
I was debating whether or not to even include any serious issues in my book concerning this topic and I decided to pepper it with stories that deal with it because SOMEONE needs to address it, and I would be doing a disservice to my community if I did not.
So if you only want to hear about sex, drugs, rock and roll, then skip THOSE chapters! :)

ITA. In cosmopolitan cities like Madrid, Paris and London shit isn't THAT bad, but it still sucks. When I went to Europe with my gf (who is black) people in stores would talk only to me (I am white) and in restaurants, guess who always got the tab, even if SHE called the waiter? (I'm a chick, btw)
We're still pretty far from being a society free of sexism, racism and homophobia.

once you get an african american over to europe, especially the uk or france or scandanavia, they usually dont want to come home. not because they arent faithful americans, but because they experience a society that is far less focused on their race. america has come a long way in the last 3 to 4 decades as far as racial differences, especially pertaining to blacks. but europe is still a lot more accepting. the uk is a lot more prejudice towards indians and pakistanians, than blacks. i knew a black guy years ago from the hood who had never left st petersburg, fl, and went over to london on a whim and never came back. well, he did come back for a visit one time after about 5 years and he was all upright and proper with a slight english accent. it was absolutely precious.
I get when celebs want to do good in the world - they've been afforded money, fame, and access and they want to give back. I'd like to think a lot of us would be the same way, considering the shit many of us have gone through.
However, this kind of work has a fine line between promoting a cause and self promotion for narcissistic purposes. You don't need to start your own group, especially when it's obvious you have no fucking clue what you're taking about. There are established foundations and organizations that know what they're doing that need contributions. There are also social entrepreneurs who need funding to expand their work. But what gets me is that celebs or other folk start their own organizations and hit people up for money, then you have situations like Wyclef's using his organization for personal gain.
/nonsensical rant
I have a niece that uses her Smart Phone for everything. She has a true inner talent for poetry. So, what is the problem? Her GRAMMAR is terrible. Most kids in her age group (teenagers) have terrible writing skills. They cannot seem to remember how to spell. What is going on here? Why did writing well and with feeling become a lost art?
He seems coked up. And I already use my smart phone for tests but I'm in college, I didn't start out doing it that way thank god. I was taking a financial management test so I downloaded a financial calculator app where you just input the numbers and get the answers as opposed to using a regular financial calculator and working through the problems using complex formulas.
