In one of the worst non-apologies ever, Kanye West claims to *now* know what it feels like to have a knee on his neck.

Sir, you do not know what George Floyd felt like. If you did, you wouldn’t still be here. You cannot compare what a man felt as he breathed his last breaths obstructed under a racist’s knee, to what you felt like losing money as a consequence of your own actions.

There is no comparison!

Furthermore, apologies are not self-centered. They are about the people you hurt — not you.

In West’s apology to, I guess the “Black community,” he said “God has shown me, by what Adidas is doing, and by what the media is doing, I know how it feels to have a knee on my neck…now.”

SMH…

He continued, “How could the richest Black man ever be humbled other than to be made to not be a billionaire in front of everyone off of one comment?”
