But is it really so strange. Sure, it’s not common to see black Americans in the position of power normally occupied by white men supremacists, but it happens. Secretary of HUD Ben Carson stayed in office under Trump the whole time, the full four years, and nobody really bothered him except when he at a $35,000 dining room table in his office. Herman Kane, Herschel, and others have one thing in common with Kanye: the part of the white supremacist infrastructure they see themselves in. The supremacists are divided between a small group of elite aristocratic rulers, the slightly larger group of “enforcers” and sycophants, and the massive following of middle class and poorer whites. The first class has a price to entry—massive of perceived massive riches, projecting a non-humble image of superior wealth. The second are aspiring non-rich rulers, who servants to the aristocrats who yearn for power, like Steven Miller or other fanatics like him. And the third is what we in born up in the Northeast call affectionately white trash, trailer park trash, or rednecks. They might not always be poor and uneducated, but they like to appear that way because of a lack of care for evidence and facts they have.
Kanye and Carson have been allowed entree into the top class because of their main qualification—wealth and self-perceived egomaniacal greatness. Both of them are not have as great as think, though are certainly rich and have “raised themselves up by their bootstraps” and have attested to that key conservative narrative that government sucks and no blacks should get welfare. It’s a racist narrative sure, but they adhere to that. This gives them authority to spout other racist supremacists tropes, and they like being king of the hill, rather than lumped in with all the rest of the unpowerful in the liberal leftist system. The aristocrat whites don’t mind as they are good examples that their system of wealth production can work, even for blacks.
So yes, Kanye has joined the delusional group of elite white supremacist rulers. But he hasn’t used all the supremacist tropes yet, so we can expect more. And like Carson or other black conservatives, who are truly narcissistic like Trump and Cruz, and not just playing at it, they love the rejection the left gives them, the outrage that is thrown int heir face, because it validates their acceptance of having “made it” into an elite group. Sure, it’s an elite and evil autocratic group of repressors from my and your perspective, but to them its not, its a group of friends or at least like mind people at the top, behind the velvet rope in the country club. It’s not a club I would ever join, and from the outside looks more like an insane asylum, but hey, who are you or I to judge. We’re just people booing them on, on the outside looking in, and they look at us saying “Look at the loser out there hating us, they’re so jealous.” We’re obviously not in their supremacist fan base and never will be.
