Another reason Kanye West should be punched in the face. I can't stand him.

[alchemy]

This is what happens when no-talent douchebags are given lots of fame and money, told that they are an "artist" and given as much publicity and air time as they want.

Typical bullshit from the American pop music industry.

 

[rvcja7]

time and time again he proves he's an idiot. talented or not, he's a jerk. i can't understand why people continue to buy his music. but, there were interview with several of is 'fans' after the leno show who claim they have had it with him this time.

 

[Mystery2009]

Actually, that would be funny. He has an interview with Leno tonight. I kinda hope Leno pulls something like that during his interview. I'm sure alot of people would think it was funny.

Let me put it another way then. Lets go back a few years to the acadamy awards, and Denzel Washington winning Best Actor for Training Day. Now we can all agree that Mr. Washington is an amazing actor, gifted to no end, but it was pretty clear that the Acadamy should have given the award to Rusell Crowe for a Beautiful Mind. If somebody, anybody, had interupted Denzel's speach an said it should have gone to Crowe, and made some racial/political remark they would be fried in the media as biggots and/or racist. What KW did was low brow, low rent, and disrespectful to a young recording artist who was trying to enjoy her moment. What would have been interesting is if he had done this to somebody male for a chainge like may some big dude from a rock or metal band, just to see how they could throw him. All he's done so far is pick fights with Swift and Britney Spears... wow what a tough guy.

I've also heard even the President of the United States called him a jack ass for his comments.

I think you're comparing apples with hand grenades Myst. What does anyone's RACE have to do with any of this? I'm not buying it~If Eminem had pulled something this moronic, no one would let him off the hook either.

And for the record, the VMAs are voted on by the fans, while Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences votes in the winners for the Oscars, not the viewers. Like most organizations, the Academy is extremely political. Denzel is widely regarded as a gracious gentleman, while, despite his monster talent, Russell Crowe (like Kanye) is widely regarded as an asshole--the Academy HATES him and he hates them back. That's why he didn't win.
You can paint it any color you like but bad behavior is still bad behavior.

The race angle I DO see it from is that if some white person had done that to Kanye, then it would've been widely spread as racist. So, what Kanye did is dubbed to some as racist. Especially what could be based upon his statement during Katrina relief.

 

[steph]

I guess I see that. I dunno~I have so many black friends but they're all people who think mostly like I do. Maybe I take it for granted. Yanno what my first thought was when I saw the Kanye stunt? I thought "rude." It never occurred to me to think "racist."

I hear ya. For some it did though. And I think if the roles were reversed, some black folks would be saying the same thing.

Meh.

I think the only good thing about it, is that it's going to bring some hysterical meme's out. 😀

 

[Deleted member 66627]

On the other more amusing hand... 😀


President Obama calls Kanye a Jackass.

 

[steph]

LMAO!
Now~do you think the rules change at all if he'd pulled that crap on Rihanna? I know it wouldn't have been any different for me. Like I said, rude's just rude...

I think the insults might more or less be the same, but the racism factor would be tossed.

 

[Capnmad]

MTV's never seen a controversy they didn't like or couldn't capitalize on. Mark my words: Next year, they'll have some mashup-style duet between Taylor and Kanye, with him wearing a white cowboy hat, and all will be forgiven.

 

[steph]

I think that's fair enough.

[Tickle Fiend]

There was nothing racist about what Kanye did and I think anybody who feels it' racist is an idiot. And I'd feel the exact same way if the roles were reversed racially. No one can point to a single example of what he did that was so racist, other than the fact the he's black and she's not. The guy is just immature when it comes to awards. This isn't the first time.

Would it still be racist if Kanye interrupted Rihanna instead of Taylor. Would some people still have this same outrage? I wonder.

 

[Tickle Fiend]

How come some people can't find the humor in this? The way he just points out Beyonce is too funny.

You know MTV is loving every minute of this. The VMA's haven't been this talked about in a long time.

 

[Deleted member 66627]

This is the reason right here why folks are calling it racism.

-- And if the roles were reversed, this would be the only example black folks would have to go on and the white person would be dubbed scum also.

Then the dumbass role would be reversed, too. And I agree with you about if this were reversed. There would be black people making the same accusations.

Anybody who comes to this conclusion based solely on the race of those involved should think about calling someone else a racist.

 

[Deleted member 66627]

IMO, the racial angle here is invalid and pointless. Nothing further will come of it, so folks who want to carry a chip about it are kinda lame.

The situation as a WHOLE was fucked up. But as we've all figured out; it's not going to make a difference and if anything, in time it will become a way for both to play off of each other. Swift has already dabbled in hip hop, so it wouldn't be too ironic to see her teaming up with Kanye or some shit.


Was also rumored that the whole thing was set up to be a stunt, mostly created by MTV, Diddy and even Beyonce. All rumors, not sure of their validity, but I have no doubt that aspects of it was straight up script used to punch up the VMA's which have been other wise lacking in excitement these past few years.


Fuckitall: I LOVE THE MEME'S! 😀

It's not racism.

It's a dumbass being a dumbass. He did it when he threw a fit about not winning any grammies. He did it when he actually won and said that Lil Wayne should have won. And he did it again when he pulled the mic out of a freaked out 19 year old girl's hand.

The only time the scumbag was right was when he said George Bush didn't care about black people. Because I'm pretty sure that's true.

It was about Katrina right. Bush did not care about blacks. Right. Like the other black people there that had buses, cars and the cities own plan to use the school buses caused the problems. Or the fact that J.Jackson and Al Sharpton had plenty of time to get their own churches and people in that area to check on the poor. Bush was obviously responsible for making sure every single person was okay. And certainly no responsibility for themselves when you are told "GET OUT OF NEW ORLEANS" and you decide not to or call for help before.

But you are right, there is no racism angle to play. Just a dumbass angle.
