Kanye West Asks “White Publications” to Stop Commenting on “Black Music”

{snip}

A little more than an hour before the Grammys were to start Monday night, Kanye West wrote another series of controversial tweets, this time asking “white publications” to not write about “black music.”

West singled out The New York Times, Rolling Stone and Pitchfork as “white publications” that should not be writing about black music.

To Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, New York Times, and any other white publication. Please do not comment on black music anymore.

I love love love white people but you don’t understand what it means to be the great grandson of ex slaves and make it this far.

The system is designed for colored people to fail and one of our only voices is music. One of our only ways out is music.
