I'm buying some Taylor Swift songs on iTunes after seeing what that ingrate did to her live. He should not be invited back next year either. He's a fucking racist idiot.

I think I just have a different conception of what "racism" entails. Kanye seems (or is - whatever) highly prejudicial toward whites, and holds negative views of them, but I have no reason to believe he is racist toward them.

Hardly. You would probably be the first one saying that the race card was used. I'm so tired of hearing that shit about black people playing the race card. Some cases yes, but other cases, hell no. And I am willing to bet that it would be used a case of playing the "race card" if Taylor were black and Kanye were white.

I am on Taylor's side, and think that Beyonce did the right thing. Oh, and I am sure that tomorrow we will have to listen to more people screaming the same shit that you are screaming. Every blogger, newspaper, asshole on the radio, and the View will be talking about this bullshit tomorrow. By Wednesday, there will be tearful apology from Kanye.

Yes you are a total dog and mutt means you are a dog. Just like when you say you are gay it also means you are a negative quality, as homophobes have turned that word to mean. And when your friends say to you, "man that outfit is sick!" you'll retort, "my outfit doesn't have a fever waaaa I'm offended."

Enoxx, you're a mutt. Deal with it.

The meaning of words constantly shift, and plenty of words can apply to different classes. Being a mutt doesn't mean you're equivalent to a dog. It means you are a "cross-breed" of different races. It's slang, and "mutt" is going to be the most common race in the future in America and the use of the word will prevail in spite of your oversensitive rebuke.

Yeah you can't really label this incident as racist because Kanye didn't explicitly DO or SAY anything racist. However knowing his previous ignorant racist comments, it would be sufficient enough for any person to question whether this act was motivated in part by racism. I bet it was. Although I must admit the Beyonce video was amazing (as much as I hate the song).

That's a good point. Because of what Kanye West said and did at the awards it does not lead to him being racist. Your logic is correct. I think filmhottie is applying his knowledge of Kanye West's previous racist statements to this scenario and labeling it as a racist situation, which I think it ambiguously was. If any other black guy did this, like Diddy or Jay Z, I would not have thought it to be racist at all.

I have this theory - that Kanye's dissing Taylor & shout out to Beyonce is - because he wants to get down and dirty with the Single Ladies Diva? Ohh, I so want to see Jay-Z smoke his ass for macking on his girl !

Anyway, Kanye is just a Soft/Poppish R&B/Hip-Hop singer - not even a Real Rapper - he's not hard-core enough like 50, there I said it! hehehehe!

Like 50? Yeah, he is extremely hardcore.

The VMAs owe Kanye. The show sucked, I hate Russell Brand, and nobody would be talking about it if wasn't for his idiotic move.

The Michael Jackson tribute could have been better. They hyped it up for Janet doing a Michael tribute and she robotic-ally went through the motions of scream.

Good lord you people are dramatic as fuck. He apologized already and if half of you watched the award show you would have noticed he never "dissed" T Swift. He even congratulated her but then stole her moment. I am not supporting her but for fuck's sake calm down. As he went off stage he apologized to T Swift's mother RIGHT AWAY.

1. Kanye goes to awards show
2. Kanye says or does something wildly inappropriate
3. Kanye Tweets or blogs an apology (in all caps)
4. Kanye feeds off of the ensuing media blitz.
5. Kanye becomes less relevant, which necessitates repeating of cycle.

And why are y'all engaging with the faker Addicted2Me?

Sep 14, 2009 2:22 PM GMT


If a black person calls him/herself a n***gah, that's one thing. If someone else calls that person a n**gah that's completely another, especially if that person isn't black.

If gay people call each other faggot, it's different from straight people calling gays faggots.

Ditto for mutt. It's my prerogative to call myself mutt (which I am one of), not someone else's.

There already is an "apology" which i still don't think he understands why people are all up in arms. Dude... Be classy, and let the girl have her fucking moment, like Beyonce did.

oh, and some uk website did prove badmikeyt's formula: sad and true.

IMO: I'm getting pretty much over it, but still find it all interesting. Beyonce did a great thing. And I think Kanye's killing his career more than helping it with these stunts. The man needs an education or something.

wow you guys are focusing on the fact that Kanye went up there and interrupted Taylor's speech.. But i mean i agree with what he said "Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’ll let you finish, but Beyoncé has one of the best videos of all time,"

Taylor swifts little Disney channel videos about her and some high school boy are not only childish but i mean Beyoncé worked harder, choreographed, created, and thought of all of her videos herself.

since when did music videos become about acting?

so yeah Kanye was wrong but.. he spoke the truth

So, I'm genuinely curious. What is it you define racism as if "being highly prejudicial toward (insert racial group here)" and "hold[ing] negative views of them" doesn't qualify?

To me, racism is the underlying mode of thought of racial prejudice and discrimination. When you judge individuals, either in positive or negative ways, based on their race before getting to know them as a person and judging them as an individual, that's racist. Being highly prejudicial toward a racial group seems pretty much racist-by-definition to me.

EDIT: I'm not taking a position on whether or not West is racist. I neither know nor care enough to have an informed opinion on that. I'm just trying to understand the terminology being used.
Sep 14, 2009 3:55 PM GMT
My initial reaction was that first of all, who still watches the VMAs and second, this "scandal" is extremely inconsequential in the context of 2009. I didn't take West's reaction as a racist one (it's odd how some of you are convinced of that but we'll leave it alone) as much as in poor taste. You have to remember, this is the man who wants to be called "The New King of Pop"...he's an egoist who's talented but not so much as he thinks and prone to cheap provocation. (In terms of rappers, he doesn't even come close to the breeze of Jigga or the cool swagger of Missy.)

Ah that Beyonce: as country (sounding) as hell but so Classy...I'm sure she could care less though Kanye's love of the "Single Ladies" just confirms that he's family to me, hehe.

Absolutely. After watching footage of both moments, I am convinced that both Taylor Swift and Beyonce have more grace and dignity in their pinky finger than Kanye will ever have.

Perhaps due to my more academic approach, I subscribe to a textbook definition of racism, so to speak. "Racism" is really a white phenomenon, since minorities lack the ability to socially, economically, legally, and politically disenfranchise the dominant majority whites based on a belief that they are inferior.

Here are some definitions, courtesy of dictionary.com:

Racism

noun 1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3. hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.


Thus, I highly doubt that the majority of blacks who are hostile towards whites are "racist" towards them. It's personal prejudice, perhaps based on their personal encounters with racism from whites, but it is not racism. Now, I am sure there are many blacks/minorities who do deem whites inferior, in which case yes, they would be racist. But I am just not quick to use that word in a situation like Kanye's, since I've never heard him explicitly state, or even allude to, the notion that he is superior to white people.
MSUBioNerd Posts: 1430
Sep 14, 2009 4:18 PM GMT
But by your own reference on dictionary definitions, number 3 in the one you cited is "hatred or intolerance of another race", with which strong prejudice and holding negative opinions of aligns nicely. If we're going with dictionaries, though, I tend to prefer Merriam-Webster to dictionary.com (in general, not just in this case). That dictionary gives us:

"
* Main Entry: rac·ism
* Pronunciation: ˈrā-ˌsi-zəm also -ˌshi-
* Function: noun
* Date: 1933

I don't agree with the notion that racism is unidirectional. I've generally found that a good test for whether a given statement or policy is racist is to imagine changing the races involved. If changing the word "white" to "black" or "Asian" or whatnot makes the policy sound racist, the existing one probably is as well.

I think I just have a different conception of what "racism" entails. Kanye seems (or is - whatever) highly prejudicial toward whites, and holds negative views of them, but I have no reason to believe he is racist toward them.


You really are a piece of work. I'm beginning to think you have "a different conception" of pretty much everything. You say that big racist ass, Kanye West, is "highly prejudicial towards whites, and holds negative views of them" but you don't think he's racist. What the hell do you think a racist is? He's an embarrassment not only to African Americans but the entire human race.

For the record, I didn't watch Kanye West's behavior at the VMAs and think it was necessarily racially motivated at all, even though I have no doubt that he is a racist. I just thought it was him being his usual smug, clueless, egocentric self-centered piece of shit self.

LukeKnights said

since when did music videos become about acting?

so yeah Kanye was wrong but.. he spoke the truth


Kanye West spoke the truth according to Kanye West. The fans voted for Taylor and you can see how she won that particular award because the other nominees were all more pop-oriented and cancelled each other's votes while Taylor's huge country music fan base (that also crosses over to pop) put her over the top to win that particular award. Beyonce´ came back to win "VIDEO OF THE YEAR" so that is probably the way it should have played out.

MSUBioNerd saidBut by your own reference on dictionary definitions, number 3 in the one you cited is "hatred or intolerance of another race", with which strong prejudice and holding negative opinions of aligns nicely. If we're going with dictionaries, though, I tend to prefer Merriam-Webster to dictionary.com (in general, not just in this case). That dictionary gives us:

"
* Main Entry: rac·ism
* Pronunciation: ˈrā-ˌsi-zəm also -ˌshi-
* Function: noun
* Date: 1933

1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
2 : racial prejudice or discrimination"

I don't agree with the notion that racism is unidirectional. I've generally found that a good test for whether a given statement or policy is racist is to imagine changing the races involved. If changing the word "white" to "black" or "Asian" or whatnot makes the policy sound racist, the existing one probably is as well.


Well, we can have two different opinions/perceptions. No problem. I just think that word is used too freely in discourse with regard to race situations that arise.

And I don't believe Kanye hates or is intolerant of whites.

So the winner is picked based on popular vote, and Taylor Swift has alot of dedicated fans who voted for her.

In my opinion Beyonce's video was better because that dance is pretty complex and Lady Gaga was a good candidate too. It was very untactful of Kayne to run up on stage and be super awkward but more importantly be very disrespectful to Taylor Swift.

filmhottie said Kanye West Needs to Go Away


... look, if you don't like the guy, don't listen to his music ... don't buy his albums as you've said you do not, and don't pay attention to his antics. The one way to silence someone is to meet them with silence. If you're referring to what he did to Taylor Swift's moment last night ... then imagine what would have happened if Taylor would have continued with her speech and simply ignored West's childish antics? Making such a clamor about someone you do not like is ... as George Carlin would put it ... like fighting for peace ... [or like] having sex to achieve virginity ... such a cacophony, filmhottie, is only going to bring West attention, rather than reduce him of his current status.

Incidents like this have a way of having a major silver lining at the end of the day. Taylor Swift probably won over lots of fans just by the way she handled the incident with class & grace, while Beyonce´ came off looking like a true class-act by stepping aside during her moment so that Taylor Swift could have hers. Hopefully, Kanye West lost fans but, sadly, what he will get is tons of publicity over this which is probably what he wanted in the first place.

It looked like it was staged. MTV could've just given her a few extra mins to let her finish but they decided to move on. With reality/live shows, it's hard to know what's real and what's not.

And the usual formula for a hit show nowadays: The more dramatic and outlandish it is, the more ratings it'll get.

I don't think it was staged . Kanye is just a big ass on a ego trip. Taylor looked really hurt and embarrassed so i don't think that do that to her without her knowing. Then the speech she gave after beyonce let her have a moment did sound genuine.

On the other had MTV could have done more to stop him because it wasn't the first time he's done something like that on a awards show. I think they just went with it like hey more publicity.

Well, you're entitled to your opinion. I think it's absurd to think that one group of people can use a word and another cannot. If we are going to do away with offensive words, then they should all be said to be off limits. Asking a white person not to use the "n" word because of cultural stipulations is just ridiculous. Blacks don't have a say on what words can be used and which cannot. I think anyone using race-laden, pejorative terms is unacceptable, regardless of context. Period.

Just because a person has a differing opinion doesn't make them a troll, and I have done absolutely nothing to deserve that title. Instead of casting vitriolic stones, maybe you could try and further the dialogue your damn self.

That's right, it's OK for all to use (in the sense that you can't restrict language), but I believe none of it should be used. My stance is not mutually exclusive. There were just two different contexts when those statements were made. I think you know this, but are playing dumb.

Whoa, WAIT a minute. You are NOT going to put what happened to MeOhMy on my shoulders. I have no idea who that person is, and I would NEVER do that to someone. I got to this site in late August, and haven't been on for the last few weeks, so how on earth could I have said history with that person? Makes no sense.

If these Concealed and Metafor peeps are using the same phrasing and discussion style as me, then what of it? I can't help the way I write. You are just being a bully and trying to blame me for something I didn't do, and can't conceive of doing. I have a life, and it's a good one. I don't need to manipulate the vulnerability of others. You need to back off.

well, whether or not Beyonce cared, the whole setup was staged. There's no reason for Taylor Swift to be ready in the wings to come out had she not been told she would be given the chance to speak. Beyonce was probably approached by a producer and she did as she was told.

You know exactly what you were suggesting. You brought up MeOhMy to implicate me in his circumstance. Do you really think I'm supposed to sit here and think otherwise? As for "backtracking," you clearly know what you're doing.

Blackguy4you, Nobody in here are saying all Black people are racists. We are referring to Kayne West... In the video he did say fuck "white man" and never come back to MTV. The first thing that comes to my mind is, the only reason he did that was because Taylor Swift isnt Black. Its just an assumption, because of how racist he actually is. I used to listen to him, but the more i did the more I realized his lyrics are filled with racist too....and all that bitching he did about Hurricane Katrina.

You don't choose to take the high road when you're clearly incapable of understanding a basic argument. And no you're not a Jew. A Jew is smarter than you. You pulled the race card by claiming I did.

Kanye West is such an idiot that it does NOT take a person with good English skills to understand how rude he is. I'm sure a 3rd grader would even understand that what Kanye West did was flat our disrespectful. And Judaism is a religion, and an ethnicity, and can be one or the other or both depending on the person. And I know this being raised a conservative Jew.

That is some serious bullshit. It only takes one person of whatever color to be an ass for an entire group of people to be hated. wow...that is so fucked up.

Wow. One man's actions is justification for people to hate an entire race. That's pretty bad.

I personally think Kanye West is a joke as well. What he did is no surprise to me. However, I see plenty of people with big egos blowing hot air for whatever attention they can get and most of them aren't black.

dbm811 saidKanye West is the biggest FUCKTARD of them all. I dont understand why he really thinks he is all that. Because he is sooo full of himself, he wont even let a girl (who is not even old enough to drink) have her moments when she receives her first VMA. He is the prime reason A LOT of people in my area HATE black people.

I think that was the kindest think Beyonce could have done after all that mess with "him". I applaud her and Taylor for a job well done.


People in your area hate black people because of a singer?

Well if that doesn't take the B.S. crown for the year...



Hand me a crown as well then. It mind be crazy, but yes people can hate other people for a rapper, a tennis player, or a Harvard professor. That's part of the reason these people inevitably issue countless statements of apologizes.



Wow. I am stunned by the bold comments. Really? You justify hatred for an entire race based solely on a rapper's actions?? Freakin amazing. I don't know what's worse. -That ignorant comment or the confidence behind your justification.

Kanye was never the reason anyone hated black people. you should try that on again. More for your people in your area to continue what they do best. Instead of squashing this mess and leave it for what it is . You are throwing a Tea Party. This Post is pointless and giving power to the worst attribute known to mankind. BIGOTRY.

That is some serious bullshit. It only takes one person of whatever color to be an ass for an entire group of people to be hated. wow...that is so fucked up. I had a white guy throw a bottle at me while I was walking down the street and call me a nigger in 2001. Should I hate all white people because of that?


As I stated, it has to do with how influential you are. By rapper I meant Kanye, by tennis player, I meant Serena, and by Professor, I meant Gates. To some black folks, the above are idols, and what could be called racism displayed by them can spread down into the community. White people will respond to that by racism as well. I'm not defending it, and it's not my view, but I've seen and heard it. What the hell do you want me to do when my neighbor tells me he hates black people because of those kinds of attitudes???

When the word is used in context of a white person acting ignorant, I get ignored by pointing out reality. Maybe in "defending" an African American, someone might actually try to use the word correctly.

Racism: a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.

Kanya is ignorant and just "doesn't care" about white people. That makes him a "bigot" not a "racist."

Sep 15, 2009 12:03 AM GMT
Kanye West is a self-important, bigot dumb ass douche bag. What he did was more for himself, Beyoncé was just his excuse to get up on stage. Was he even up for anything? It is just like a little child, when he is not getting all the attention he makes an ass out of himself...and sadly enough, the people who raised him.
Sep 15, 2009 12:06 AM GMT
That is different... dbm81 wasn't referring to all black people. He was saying black people like Kayne West (who is self-centered, hatred or racist) in his area. I can say I can't stand White people in Texas or Southern states. Or I can say I can't stand black people in Oakland California. lol

I don't think he is because having been a fan of Kanye from the beginning he always wanted to overcome the boundaries of Hip-Hop. While he embraced other music genre's in his career (that's to include whites and otherwise) he was ridiculed by many hip hop artists in the black community. If I truly felt he was racist, trust me, you'd hear it.

Kanye is just an idiot. A very talented idiot. He's not the first person to be an over zealous dickwad who can't keep their trap shut.

People do this all the time. When they get frustrated they say stupid things because they can't have their way. It doesn't make them a racist. It just makes them stupid.

so you are honestly going to tell me that you can hate an entire race of people because of the stupid action of one person?

so then all black people should hate all white people?
all jews should hate all germans, austrians and swiss?
heck all jews should hate every damn ethnic group?
all japanese should hate all americans?

do you see where i'm going with this?

you can't be for real.

WTF? Well, that is petty that White people are resorting to the same thing. It is like they are looking for a reason to be racist. Once again, that is some serious bullshit. That is like I should have listened to my parents since they lived in the days of Jim Crow and just hated all white people due to that one racist incident that happened to me.

And speaking of white card, here you can take my white card and shove it up your ass. I'm a fuckin Jew so don't think I affiliate with white people. I think for myself.


I am black and jewish and I will not descend to your level. Play the white and black card as much as you like - I choose to take the high road


You haven't played my level, you just acted like a racist person yourself by claiming my stance is based on racism when I've clearly explained TWICE now that it wasn't. You don't choose to take the high road when you're clearly incapable of understanding a basic argument. And no you're not a Jew. A Jew is smarter than you. You pulled the race card by claiming I did. Oh forget it, you're hopeless. Go eat some bagels you fake Jew. At least you live in NYC so you got plenty of good bagels to choose from. And good delis. God damnit I'm hungry now.

I don't agree with that sentence... When someone is very angry, he or she often lose their mind or says things got out of control very quickly. I am not defending him. That happen to everybody. I agree that was stupid post. But you can educate him that not all black people act like Kayne West. There are many other great Black-American like Will Smith, Michael Jordan, Janet Jackson, Cosby, and Rosa Parks and many other cool black people. Sorry if you were offended, when he was saying a lot of people in his area hate black people because of Kayne West.

No, the prime reason people in your area hate black people is because they're racist. Kanye is just an excuse for them to manifest what they've already felt long before he came into play.

If people in your area generalize so much based on one person's reaction, then they should be LOVING black people right now after witnessing Beyonce forfeit her speech completely and give way to an absolutely beautiful and humble tear-jerking prelude to allow Taylor Swift to finish her speech. That MORE than makes up for Kanye's ill behavior.

I'm all for boycotting congressmen Wilson too, but his behavior does not justify Kanye's.

Now, an ABC spokesperson explains to POLITICO what happened:

"In the process of reporting on remarks by President Obama that were made during a CNBC interview, ABC News employees prematurely tweeted a portion of those remarks that turned out to be from an off-the-record portion of the interview. This was done before our editorial process had been completed. That was wrong. We apologize to the White House and CNBC and are taking steps to ensure that it will not happen again."

The White House had no immediate comment.

Uuuugh, Obama, I can't continue to stand up for you if you keep twittering. What's next rollerblading?

You know that's a run-on sentence and English should be capitalized?

Hehe! I'm just teasing you. Sorry. I have no stake in whatever debate you were having.

Masculine31, prepare your ass for a flaming. I will enjoy this, and other people reading this will enjoy this. And you will frown.

masculine31 saidKanye showed a helluva lot more *CLASS* than congressmen WILSON, who called the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES a LIAR on national television. U IDIOTS ON HERE NEED TO GROW UP, go boycott congress


Yeah but at least congressman Wilson didn't get out of his seat, go up to President Obama, and steal his mic away. Maybe YOU need to grow up. I'm all for boycotting congressmen Wilson too, but his behavior does not justify Kanye's. That's like saying, "well you're honor, my client here murdered someone, but so did that other guy...so you should be punishing that other guy too!"



Sorry Jake *CRACK KILLS*

Are you assuming I smoke crack just because you're incapable of actually replying with relevance? I did agree with you, but then noted that the situations are not related. Note again that I didn't disagree with you though. But, you flamed on anyway.


masculine31 saidThe PRESIDENT was discussing important agendas for our nation, and for the people. The VMA's is NOT significant for us, it's more like bullshit, I know plenty of us would rather have the economy back in order, rather than worry about some 19 yr old girl GETTING ASKED for a microphone, and being told she did not deserve the award *(WHICH is CORRECT)*


I fully agree with you, but like the presidential agenda the VMA has it's own set of general morals, such as: don't get out of your fucking seat and jump onto the stage and steal the mic away from the winner and act bombastic. Both situations are wrong, but I still don't understand why you're trying to justify one scenario with a completely unrelated scenario...oh that's right, because you just can't comprehend this situation accurately and judge it based on it's own context.

But still if you want to compare, no...jumping up on stage and stealing a mic from a teenage girl only to embarrass her in front of her fans is NOT "a helluva lot more *CLASS*" than a congressman sitting in his seat calling the president a liar. Both don't have class. Both are abusive. But using one to justify or belittle the significance of the other does not work.

Here I'll make a SUPER FUN analogy and then apply it to you. If you can get it now then I'll assume you're smarter than a 5 year old and maybe respect you a little more for not acting severely handicap. (If not, then I'll enjoy laughing at your expense some more).


ANALOGY:

Joe: Sue, did you steal my water?

Sue: Yes

Joe: Why? That was mine. That's disrespectful. I bought that.

Sue: Well, this is trivial because Jim took my sub sandwich the other day. That's a worse scenario since that sandwich is worth more than your damn water. Now that I've compared this situation to a completely unrelated situation, I hope I've made this obsolete and you should feel guilty for not feeling sorry for me for my sandwich loss even though that has nothing to do with your water loss.

Joe: How does a completely unrelated scenario justify this? You TOOK my water but you're now making excuses!

Sue: Well, I'm glad you've shown your true colors by not caring about other completely unrelated scenarios and you obviously don't care about everybody now. OMG CAPITAL INSULTS NOW.


NOW LET'S APPLY THIS ANALOGY TO THE SITUATION TO YOU, MASCULINE31
Jake: Did you watch the VMAs?

Msculine31: Yes

Jake: Did you see Kanye's total disrespectful act towards Taylor? That was so awful!

Masculine31: So? Some Republican called Obama a liar. And that political situation is more important than some VMA award show. Now that I've compared this situation to a completely unrelated situation, I hope I've made it obsolete and you should feel guilty for not talking about the Obama situation even though that's completely unrelated to this situation.

Jake: How does a completely unrelated scenario justify this? Kanye DISRESPECTED Taylor but you're now making excuses!

Masculine31(and this is your quote not mine):"I am glad u showed how much u care for your country and fellow humanitarians. SPEAKS VOLUMES"


Do you see how incomprehensible you are now? I'm sure you don't. But it was still well worth flaming you.

if I had his email address, i'd send him something a little like this.

Dear Mr West,
I am deleting all of your music from my library, because you're a fucktard.

-Andy.

P.S. I stole it.

I wish Taylor's mother would have come up on stage and led Kanye off by the ear. That would have been hilarious.

I have no doubt that SNL will be having a field day with this one
