Seems like a lot of blacks still support Kanye West

Admittedly, this is just based on what I've been reading in comment sections/general impressions. Other blacks may not support West's comments, but are indignant at how Kanye remarked that "Slavery is a choice" and didn't get cancelled for that.

I guess it's too soon, but I'd be interested to see if anyone has done polling on this issue with a breakdown by race. It's always interesting to see what happens when blacks abandon the leftist orthodoxy on race and simply do their own thing.

Why wouldn't they?

Well, just based on their tribal instincts I wouldn't expect any different. But white liberals seem to believe that blacks can be made to adopt the totality of their racial orthodoxy even when it doesn't benefit them. They may be in for a rude awakening.

Of all of Kanye's controversial statements, I've seen more blacks scoff at his George Floyd comments than even his JQ remarks. This is another statistic to add to the equation.

And it seems as if Kanye himself has taken back his words on Floyd, sympathizing with the black community and likening the incident to Adidas cancelling his brand.
