Hoo, boy.

You can make all the "haunted by Harriet Tubman's ghost" jokes you want, but that doesn't change the fact that these statements were made by a man who's clearly not mentally stable. And mental illness is no laughing matter. Trust me, I've had two short-term psychiatric hospitalizations and had struggled with trying to figure out what was "wrong" with my mind for two decades before I finally got an autism diagnosis a year and three quarters ago. And looking at the photos of Kanye West ranting about everything is like looking at myself at my most unstable. I have nothing but sympathy for the man. I hope he gets back on his meds soon. While I'm not a Kanye fan myself, I'd hate for the world to loose another another talented black man this year.

Yeah it would be sad if the world looses another talented black man, but why should we worry about losing Kanye? :P
