Kanye West Called Rosa Parks a 'Plant'. At This Point, Why Are We Still Listening to Him?

Despite telling the world that he saw “good things about Hitler,” Kanye West apparently can’t find the good in civil rights icon Rosa Parks.

The Donda artist said as much during a conversation on Clubhouse over the weekend per The Wrap, where he referred to Parks as a “plant” (by whomst, I wonder?) and said that there was only one hero...Jesus Christ.

“Since 1948, all of these movements… I know woke’s going to be mad at me. But, all of these heroes, man. It’s only one, that’s Jesus Christ. You’re gonna find out something about MLK, something about JFK, something about Malcolm, Rosa Parks. We know Rosa Parks was a plant.”

A plant has more intelligence than you Kanye.

And people who use his words, his fame and his business to legitimize bigotry, and very dangerous ideology

Ignoring that shit doesn’t make it magically disappear.

The beauty of DU is that people can post what they're interested in, read what they're interested in, and other people don't need to read or comment on what doesn't interest them. So long as it doesn't violate the rules of service, there shouldn't be a problem.

I appreciate knowing that a mainstream source like Yahoo is questioning why anyone listens to him and also knowing what crazy theories are out there.

You can't be sure if he's claiming Parks was a covert operative kind of plant or a vegetation kind of plant.

"Rosa Parks was a Triffid! There! I said it, and there's nothing the Jews controlling the media can do about it!"
