Kanye Becoming a Republican to Keep His Paper?

Kanye’s James Brown moment: “Sold Brother No. 1“

Just another Trump Nixon repeat because history is repeating itself.

James Brown endorsed Hubert Humphrey in the 1968 Presidential election. As a result, he was called an Uncle Tom by many; the Black Panthers dismissed him as a capitalist and as “Sold Brother No. 1”.

In 1972, James Brown endorsed Richard Nixon even though, just before the two men had their photo op meeting, Nixon told an aide: “No, no, no, no. No more black stuff. No more blacks from now on, just don’t bring ’em in here.”

Karma for Kanye  #BoycottKanye

Brown’s fortunes took a turn for the worse through his ties to Nixon, an association that damaged his standing with many of his black fans. He went from being the man who’d sold a million tickets at the Harlem Apollo in 1969 to someone who had debts totaling $5m by 1978.

The decision led to a boycott of his performances and, according to Brown, cost him a big portion of his black audience.

He faced problems with the IRS for failure to pay back taxes.

He had served two-and-a-half years of two concurrent six-year sentences for aggravated assault and other felonies.
