Hoping I create more time this week to continue writing about Kanye West, Amerika in the BLACK Imagination and the hierarchies of #BlackLivesMatter.

The widespread and necessary reaction to #KhashoggiMurder also matters in putting things into perspective.
From my perspective, the evolution of Kanye West is the most logical consequence of repeated attempts by BLACK americans to gain full citizenship in the country they belong to.

Ye isn't acting out-of-sync with common aspirations for US citizenship by blacks in amerika.
In fact, the wild and violent reaction to Ye's 'behaviour' might have more to do with how much it resonates with 'liberal' black americans who are unsure about their own reaction to "this moment".

"This moment" is euphemism for president Donald Trump's long-overdue presidency.
