Kanye West recently addressed PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) and other anti-fur activists who criticized the rapper/producer along with Amber Rose after the couple was recently seen in photographs ‘rockin’ fur coats, as reported on HipHopRX.com.
Though ‘Ye’ said in his statement, as posted on SOHH, that he was “saddened” over the negative comments about him, he adds that he has to remember that those people are “scared, incapable and plain idiots.”
The rapper claims that they are the “rock stars” that quote “live it!” The rapper questions whether some people could live the life of a “true icon” targeted with “constant hate” and goes on to joke that since “Barack is President blacks don’t like fur coats, red leather or fried chicken” and adds that we should let the “ball players dance when they score.”
Apparently “Ye” is saying that America is too uptight?!
“We were born naked,” Kanye West adds in his blog statement. “Fresh is an opinion, love is an objective, taste is selective, and expression is my favorite elective,” he adds ending with “no more politics or apologies!”
Read his full statement according to SOHH as it seems to have been removed from his blog.

well then kanye and amber are HYPOCRITES!!! why would you pose for anti-fur PETA ad when you know you don’t really
mean it??? so i guess that was just more publicity for you rather than what it was actually intended for?
i’m really starting to lose all respect for kanye. don’t even get me started on the fur!!!
“AT THE END OF THE DAY WHO ARE WE HURTING??? OH “THE NEW BLACK???” SINCE BARACK IS PRESIDENT BLACKS DON’T LIKE FUR COATS, RED LEATHER, AND FRIED CHICKEN ANY MORE?!”
Wow. Kanye just wants to play up to every white supremacist, David Duke, Klaus Barbie type that ever walked the face of the earth don’t he/it? People have decided that fur -ESPECIALLY OF AN ENDANGERED BIG CAT-is an ostentatious and ugly thing to own. The last time I checked, black people were allowed to have opinions that don’t fit stereotypes created by white supremacy OR the idiots in their own communities such as yourself kanye.
And you ARE UGLY KANYE! You have an UGLY face and and UGLY heart. Why would any First world person would kill a big cat for it’s pelt? The cat looks so much more beautiful in it than ugly pear stank amber. They avoid humans as much as possible and the killing of lynxs directly contributes to the big cat illegal fur trade. Big cats are not chickens or yoghurts, they are top predators that represent the wilderness, forests, deserts sustaining themselves and us! Kayne is the one who is racist and he is the one who has no class or ethics. Anyone who would defend his Lynx and snow leopard coats should see an animal skinned alive before their very eyes after being electrically shocked anally and then see what a dope bother KW is, “know what am sayin?” The ghetto white, black and brown KW defenders are disgusting. None them you can even string sentence together or convey an opinion without throwing race cards in the air by the deck! Human refuse all of them.
If you believe that fur-bearers are “skinned alive” for their pelts you must be as dumb as dirt. That myth has been based on a staged video in China, staged by animal-rights protesters to support their “anti-fur” policy. If you believe that one of the coats worn by Kanye and his lady was “snow leopard”, I’d say that you are doubly stupid because, being endangered, the snow leopard is on the CITES list (prohibits trade in endangered species, both flora and fauna) and it is impossible to obtain such a coat in any of the signatory nations. You mention endangered big cats. In fact, I know that these cats which were once popular for their fur are on the CITES list: leopard, ocelot, jaguar, snow leopard, cheetah, clouded leopard, tiger, margay, and geoffrey’s cat. No furrier in any of the signatory countries, including the United States and France, could legally sell a coat made from the fur of any of the above, and, in the U.S.A., would be subject to a hefty fine and/or a prison sentence. In the U.S., even if you possess such a coat, which would by now be considered vintage, you would find yourself in big trouble if you tried to sell it. It’s been against the law since the 1970′s! Have you ever seen or touched a fur coat? Have you ever been to a fur salon and actually talked to a furrier or tried on a fur coat? I thought not because your ignorance is showing. You’d rather believe PETA propaganda and lies as it fits in with the new, trendy, and hip “holy faith” of animal-rights/anti-fur.
The fur industry pays people like Kanye to wear fur. Kaye is just not that bright. Kanye is just wearing what he is paid to wear by the fur industry leaders. Are those fur ndustry leaders white? Of course. Do they laugh at the fact that they have convinced black people to wear their furs and look like neanderthals while doing it? Of course those uptight white execs are laughing at Kanye.. all the way to the bank.
