Reply to comment by WhereDaHinkieFlair in Gerda Weissman Klein was one of only 120 survivors of a 350 mile Death March during the Holocaust; it began with over 4,000 people. In this clip she tells of the last time she ever saw her father, and credits her survival to the intuitive last words he spoke to her. by asday515

Everyone is harping on him but it seems pretty clear to me that he's having a mental health crisis.

Instead of getting help, or being forced to get help, he's being allowed in the spotlight, and everyone is lapping it up.

Being bipolar doesn't turn you into a Nazi though. He is going through a mental health crisis, but also he's a bigoted asshole.

Being bipolar absolutely can turn you into a Nazi. It's stated pretty well here, separated from bipolar disorder:

> To continue perceiving extreme racism as normative and not pathologic is to lend it legitimacy. Clearly, anyone who scapegoats a whole group of people and seeks to eliminate them to resolve his or her internal conflicts meets criteria for a delusional disorder, a major psychiatric illness.

Seems like you still have to be racist for this to happen.

Yeah, of course. I'm not saying Kanye isn't racist, just that it is pointless to acknowledge some parts of Kanye's mania as mental disorder, but not other parts. As I quoted, "anyone who scapegoats a whole group of people and seeks to eliminate them ... meets criteria for a delusional disorder".
