Waxman Staff Writer Dec 7, 2015 9:34 PM UTC Rapper Kanye West and Kim Kardashian West announced Monday that their second child born Saturday is a boy who weighs eight pounds and one ounce named “Saint.” The running joke on the Internet was that the couple would name the child after a direction in geography like “South” or “Easton,” since their two-year-old daughter is named “North,” but Kardashian made it clear in [interviews](http://celebritybabies.people.com/2015/12/07/kanye-kim-kardashian-west-name-son/?xid=socialflow%5Ffacebook%5Fpeoplemag) that she would never do that. But, [as Twitter users](https://twitter.com/zach%5Fstoned/status/673965582442586112) point out, the kids’ initials did turn out to be directions: NW, SW.

All these walls that keep us from loving each other as, like one family. As one race. You know, racism, religion, y, y, you know, where we grew up. What, what, whatever it is. Class, social econ, economics, you know, all this. What makes us like, be so selfish, spiteful -. What makes us not want to help the next man? What makes us you know, be so focused on a personal legacy as opposed to an entire of legacy of a race. You know like the dinosaurs aren't remembered for much more than their bones. You know so for when humanities gone what do we give to. Even this little planet, you know, that we are on. And what could we do collectively, like removing the pride. [ MUSIC ] I am a Christian, so we, we say this and we say give up and let God, you know, give, and let, and let God. Lot of times, people give. With an agenda of getting a specific thing back from that specific person. You can't control anyone. You can't say, hey, I gave you these things, you owe me this back. You have to give and know that your blessings will be tenfold. Period. And your blessings might not come directly from the person that you gave to. That's like this form of control that we use as human beings, try to control each other in some way. And, you know, our focus needs to be less about what our legacy is going to be or how we're going to control each other, but more how can we can give to each. Each other.
