Donnell Rawlings Says Black People Forgive Kanye, Only White People Hold Grudges

Kanye West just played his biggest show in years ... and it seems a lot of people have looked past his antisemitic meltdowns -- but Donnell Rawlings says there are definitely sides in that grace.

We caught up with the comic-actor at LAX on Thursday after the first of Ye's two sold-out shows at SoFi Stadium ... and asked if Kanye had been forgiven.

As you can see in the video ... DR is dead serious when he says Black people have forgiven Kanye ... but white people still hold a grudge -- that is, unless they want to make money off him by doing business -- then, it's all good.

It's worth noting, Donnell and Ye have history ... the rapper was among the first musical guests on "Chappelle's Show" -- and that was before his stardom really blew up.

As you know ... Kanye was embroiled in several controversies in the past few years, most of them revolving around his raging antisemitism, which included the outlandish song "Heil Hitler." He's since apologized for his behavior.
