Anyone else a proud non-reader?

>> No.6481320

Did Kanye say that? Did anyone point out on the spot how well-read in a huge variety of political and philosophical traditions King and Malcolm and Newton were?

>> No.6481354

The fact you used a black man for this "people who don't read" thread's pic is disgusting, OP.

>> No.6481411

Did he have a bad childhood? That seems like something someone who was psychologically damaged in some way as a child would say publicly and assume they were being profound.

OP used Kanye because he idenfifies as a "proud non-reader"

They were? How do you know? Kanye claims to be a non-reader which is quite odd considering he's quite knowledgeable.

smh so much ignorance in this thread. The guy said that he doesn't have enough time to read but wishes he read more.

He literally said he's a proud nonreader of books

That sounds pretty different

Kanye meets top intellectuals so it's not like he needs to read. If you watch his interviews and listen to the phrases/words he uses you can tell he knows what's going on.

>> No.6481587

I'm not but I know a lot of people who are. The rest tend to read YA shit which is probably worse than not reading at all
