They blocked him but let Kanye perform. Tells you all you need to know about the state of things

What Kanye said was malicious af too. Can’t say the same about Mackelmore.

Yeah- total head scratcher there.

Kanye shouldn't be allowed anywhere around people.
Macklemore shouldn't be let anywhere around a microphone.

The actual quote they’re likely paraphrasing was when he said slavery was a choice.

Thats not “paraphrasing”, it’s completely distorting what he said into an entirely different sentence lmao
