Stop Excusing Ye’s Bad Behavior
Bipolar is not the issue here
I was disgusted when I found out that someone had started a GoFundMe to help the controversial Kanye West, aka Ye become a billionaire again. Some people have been acting like his going from a billionaire to a millionaire is tragic.
Thankfully, the good people at GoFundMe didn’t allow that shit to happen and they shut it down. Being a billionaire is in and of itself immoral. That someone would hoard that much money is astounding to me.
But I’m not here to discuss the moral and ethical issues surrounding being a billionaire, I’m going to address the fact that a lot of people are making excuses for him saying that he’s mentally ill and has bipolar.
I have bipolar, and it’s quite severe. Thankfully, due to my medication, I am able to have some stability. I take my meds religiously every morning and every night. I go to therapy once a week.
From what I understand, Ye is doing absolutely nothing to help himself with his bipolar. He is a grown man and it is his responsibility to take his medication and see a therapist.
Still, the hate speech has nothing to do with bipolar. I don’t say anti-Semitic things because I’m not anti-Semitic. Kanye says these things because they are already in his heart and mind. Bipolar does…
