Kanye West Meets with President-elect Donald J. Trump

Kanye West visited Trump Towers in New York City on Tuesday morning to meet with president-elect Donald J. Trump. The reason for the meeting was undisclosed, but whatever it was about must have been highly remunerative and productive; because Trump does not like his precious time being wasted. That can’t be said for West.

For West. Maybe it was just his pigment in him that caused him to make “ign’ant” decisions, like this, but the pigment in me causes me to make moral and considerate decisions . 

West may blame his lunatic behaviors on his pigment as he versed in the song “Clique,” but he can’t blame his pigment for meeting with Trump–that was just an uber act of irresponsibility.

As a black artist whose music is intended to promote cultural responsibility and awareness in the black community, especially among black men, West possibly ruined his reputation  by meeting with a man who has promoted racism and sexism, and xenophobia.

I know that I couldn’t and wouldn’t stand beside a man of his character–no matter what deal he had made.
