To backtrack a bit:
@Huggy Bear
Let’s parse that a bit.
I agree that you understand what Kanye is trying to say, to the point where you understand that it’s so repugnant that you’re trying to turn what he said around so it’s not so awful. This is why you stopped the underlining before you got to ‘…especially Hitler’. This is pretty crucial as it show that not only does Ye think Hitler has some good, but that he’s especially good, better than the rest of…well…all of us. You’ll forgive the expression, but what you’re doing by glossing over that bit is attempting to whitewash what Ye meant. Pretty scummy.
And, for the record, Anne Frank was wrong. People are not ‘really good at heart’. Most people are bastard-coated bastards with a bastard filling. I find it interesting, though, that the best person you chose to support Ye’s nightmarishly anti-Semitic views is a Jewish teenager.

Quote:I understand what Kayne is trying to say, The thing is he has horrible delivery. Ye stated "I see good things about Hitler, Every human being has value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler.”. A sentiment that aligns almost exactly with the Anne Frank quote “In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.".
