Sorting out Ye's comment:
Republicans often don't like Television and Hollywood and entertainment for obvious reasons: Why? They don't reflect their values. Why did this happen? There are general personality types in people, that sort themselves out, in what occupations people chose, where they want to live etc. Even what political parties they end up voting for. Jordan Peterson and Professor Jonathan Haidt have done work on this: People self-sort into occupations and political parties, based on innate personality types. Of being born a certain way. That's more important than race now. More important in figuring people out, than religion.
The general pattern for personality: Liberals tend to be more creative, open minded. Liberals and progressives sort out, tend to want to live in large coastal cities. Places where universities concentrate, media and film making concentrate. So progressives are far over-represented in all these places. The American elite sort highly for over-representation for liberals and progressives. Many never meet a conservative, in all their life. Some are around them, but they stay in the conservative closet. Conservatives are way under represented in media, Hollywood, the academic elite. (surprisingly the right hasn't really caught on to this till now, they should be pushing for academic diversity for conservatives, as a pushback to the Woke agenda, way more sensible and realistic)
But: Why do liberals tend to be more open minded and creative? Born that way. Conservatives tend to value tradition and order more. Why is that? Born that way. That's why I'm a 'live and let live libertarian' on many things: I'm not a bigot. Some bigots are on the right, but way more on the left now. It's hiding in plain sight:
On the left this turned into America-hating, revising history to demonize patriotism , fake concepts like White Privilege, trans-gender rights, demonizing normal life. And Bill Maher and Jon Stewart spending decades on TV spewing hate filled vile about half the country, pretending decades of insults are "comedy". No it's not. It's just hate, Jon. What do I want on the right? Way fewer bigots. Less Jon Stewart. You remember he ranted on about so called ๐ปprivilege? Yeah, less of that.
James Woods was talking about this to Tucker. About how Democrats in Hollywood ruined his life. But he missed the back up question: why is Hollywood mostly run by Democrat and Progressive people?
The big lesson: People naturally sort themselves out based on the way they were born. The creative types tend to go into these industries, TV, movie making. You see this pattern in comedy as well: Over 90% are left leaning. You see this pattern in journalism: Over 90% are left leaning. I noticed this 40 years ago about newspaper journalists. Even back then, that was the pattern. The pattern continues, to this day. It's the same in higher education. The top 20 elite American universities are entirely dominated by the left.
Entire fields are as well, like psychology, are dominated by certain personality types. Jordan Peterson gave a talk at Oxford/Cambridge 4 years ago: He made a joke about him being the only remaining conservative psychologist, left in the world. He said the only remaining conservative in the world, is sitting in my chair. So, no. It's not about "Jews run the world". That is fake news. It's about, what are the patterns? In personality types, as well as ethnicity. And why? Kanye is a creative genius and is black. His personality has far more in common with Hollywood, than Ben Shapiro's friends in Nashville. It's not "the Jews" Kanye. Grow up.
This has political implications: When progressives and liberals push for 'diversity,' they only mean skin color, not diversity of opinion. Bad move. Progressives and sometimes liberals, tend to be political bigots. That's why so many are against free speech. They want everyone to be just like them, they want everyone to think just like they do. That's typical bigot-think. Oddly, liberals have become the new bigots. I say 'oddly' because it didn't used to be this way. Progressives are not the old type of bigot, based on skin color. Archie Bunker is no longer a thing. The new bigot is someone who thinks everyone should align with their own views, rather than let people be, who they are born to be. Progressives are like Archie Bunker, with a PhD.
It's all about balance, this thing in America. When you get too many conservatives in an area dominating, things get stultified, but they run well, lack creativity. When you get too many liberals in an area, like California, morals degenerate, things are very creative but too much of anything, is a bad thing. Jordan Peterson has talked about this. He called it "chaos vs. order". We're in a period of chaos. Too much of creative chaos. Not enough order. The positive thing in this is when I see rich New Yorkers or Californians move to places like Texas, Tennessee or Florida. New Yorkers or Californians are often very creative people. This makes other places better. Like Elon or Joe Rogan moving to Texas. Or Dave Shapiro moving to Florida. Or Ben Shapiro moving to Nashville. This is a good trend.
The creative class is by temperament liberal and progressive leaning, have been for decades. In Hollywood, there is now open hostile bigotry towards conservatives. Originally being a liberal or progressive was a good thing. No longer. Bigotry is how liberal sentiment goes wrong, when one side dominates something, too long: Like gay people long ago, most conservatives now stay in the conservative closet, for fear of career ending hatred, from the left leaning Hollywood elite. If someone kept track of the data, made a chart showing how often television or movies or entertainment push progressive values, anti-white values, anti-Republican values, it would show the same thing as this chart. The left took over television and movies and higher education long ago and the hate hasn't stopped since then. Like poor Sam Harris. Don't be like Sam Harris: As Mr. T said decades ago, "I pity the fool!"
So on the right I'd say: Let's not be bigots, based on religion or race. Let's be nice. To everyone. That's gonna p*ss them off. ๐

What does this have to do with Kanye's remarks? If you read "An Empire of their Own, How the Jews Invented Hollywood" by Jewish writer Neal Gabler, you get some of the history of the terrible oppression the Jews suffered, before coming to America. Very tragic story. But, they turned that story into heroism. They turned their suffering around, then started to tell wonderful stories about America. That was the Golden Age of Hollywood. I grew up watching those old movies. Turner Classic Movies. I loved them. Still do.
What does this have to do with Kanye's remarks? Kanye is poorly educated, but he in on to something he doesn't fully understand: Yes, in America for various reasons, you have various ethnicities succeeding at different rates, as Lex Fridman said in a conversation with Ben Shapiro. And you also notice this, politically and in education levels. For example most Jewish Americans tend to be left leaning, but there are many exceptions like Ben Shapiro and Dave Rubin. But more broadly there is a much larger political and economic trend as I just wrote, people sort themselves out in America, about where they want to live, what professions they chose, based on born innate tendencies. Personality types. That's way more important.
The broad lesson of all of this is don't stigmatize people based on their religion or race. That's not too bright. ๐ก๐ Life is a lot more complicated than that. And that's why Kanye was wrong. As they say, "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing." That old saying still runs true. Kanye has a little knowledge. That's why he's dangerous. However, it's also true Kanye is a genuinely nice guy, who means well, is a huge asset to music and culture. He can lead people, to a better place. I hope people around him like President Trump at their dinner, lead him to a a better place. The greatest advantage America has, over every other country, is we have so many people with diverse talents, that different things succeed in America. We need to continue sorting that out, so this stays a huge strength for us, not a weakness.
Politically for Republicans it means: talk nice about people
