Kanye West has just used his face and his voice to make some important observations about the world we live in. WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING?
Kanye West is eloquent?
In a truly shocking development, Kanye West has just said a series of sensible, insightful sentences in a row. Conventionally known as “a speech,” Kanye’s sentences came one after the other in a clear, logical order.
The 37-year-old rapper-producer just made a poignant speech, accepting the Visionary Award at this year’s BET Honours.
“Maybe for one of the first times in my life I understand how it is to feel humbled,” Kanye said before speaking for 9 full minutes. He spoke about visiting civil rights leader Minister Louis Farrakhan, where he discussed his relationship with “a woman not of colour” (his wife, Kim Kardashian West).
Kanye then shared a childhood story Kim told him about her father Robert Kardashian (who, if you play Kardashian trivia, you’ll know was on the defence team for O.J. Simpson during his 1994 murder trial). Here it is:

The rapper/clothing designer then went onto say that society needs to focus less on race and more on the human race.
“So, true enough, we deal with racism because there are different races, or the micro of it is that we focus on the different races, as opposed to the macro, which is the human race,” said West.
See? We told you. He can be insightful when he wants to be, that Kanye West.
