I understand Cole on the song. I also understand that I have privilege being raised by two parents who are EXTREMEMLY woke. That is a privilege. And I have been told that I come off elitist due to that privilege at times through my comments on here.
Also, reading books isn’t the only way to learn. And there is a THICK AIR of elitism on twitter from the people who can string the tweet along together a bit better than the others, and those who have for lack of a better term, read a book. With that being said...
Cole did an AWFUL job at reading the room. Nows not the time to be like “hey man I choose not to read books and been riding high on the fact that ppl perceive me to be smarter than I am so plz don’t be mean when I say some dumb shit”. Especially not to BW right now.
I appreciate the vulnerability. This is a classic case of multiple truths that can all be true at once. But I do hope Cole learns from this just as publicly as he was wrong with this.
And in all honesty, the response to the song really proves Cole point lmao.
