The concert-goers who went to see Kanye West in San Jose, California, got so much more than what they came for.<\/p>\n
Not only did the rapper offer up a late-to-the-table endorsement of Donald Trump, but West also shared his thoughts on race.<\/p>\n
“Before I get out of here I want to talk about race and the idea of racism in America and the world,” West said towards the end of his show.<\/p>\n
He then went on to talk about the idea that the outcome of the presidential election may have had some effect on racism in the United States – something West believes folks should get over.<\/p>\n
“Specifically to black people, stop focusing on racism,” he said. “This world is racist, OK? Let’s stop being distracted to focus on that as much. It’s a f***ing fact. We are in a racist country.”<\/p>\n
Suffice it to say, such comments from a man who once famously claimed racism against him in the fashion industry and said “George Bush does not care about black people” did not go over well on social media.<\/p>\n
West also said neither candidate had the power to eradicate racism.<\/p>\n
“Not one or the other candidate was going to instantly be able to change [racism] because of they views,” West said.<\/p>\n
