Kanye West, whose presidential campaign is soon to be headed south
Kanye West, who says he is running for president as an independent under the “Birthday Party,” held his first political rally yesterday, in South Carolina, whose population is 27 percent black. At the rally, Kanye said that Harriet Tubman, a beloved national figure and former slave who rescued scores of fellow slaves via the Underground Railroad, “never actually freed the slaves, she just had them work for other white people.” And today, Kanye failed to meet the requirements to be placed on the South Carolina presidential election ballot.
Good thing Kanye isn’t trying to attract black voters.
