Hahaha great reply.

I don’t understand why people are making such a big deal out of this. I watched Taylor Swift’s video and was surprised that it won… props to her for her success but that video is a rip off of any high school teen movie in the last 20 years.

The problem I have with people that make comments like yours is you make the same mistake that Kanye made… everyone has opinions but their is a right way and a wrong way to share them Kanye thought Beyonce’s video was better then Taylor Swift it that an outrageous opinion… no was the way he chose to express it incredibly rude yes. Is your opinion that Kanye was wrong for doing what he did an outrageous opinion….. no but is the way you are choosing to express it and the leaps in logic that you take to get you there incredibility rude and hurtful to fans of music, people and decency…… yes…. so who’s behavior is more egregious yours or Kanye?

If his behavior at the VMA had nothing to do with race, then how does he explain Taylor Swift won if Beyonce should had won? He’s the one saying there was a mistake, so how does he explain this mistake other than by saying the judges were racist?
I have news for you Kanye: maybe the judges got fed up of Rap, R’n'B, and the kind of music Beyonce does. We’ve been fed so much of it that it’s sickening if you don’t like this. Maybe the judges decided something different would be could for a change. Did you think of that Kanye?

I condemn the slavery and discrimination that occured in the united states. But this is over now and Taylor Swift is not responsible for what happened before. She is just 19! How could she be responsible?

Kanye, like many people, has to accept he or other black people are not perfect (and I’m not saying white people are – nobody is perfect!). He has to stop thinking if a black person fails at something it’s because of a racial discrimination issue.

Because of people like Kanye, and because there are many of them, I feel like black people want to separate themselves from white people.
I can hardly enjoy music made by a black artist, or movies with black actors as the main characters. I feel like they want to be away from white people like me and therefore would not want me to like what they do. I realize this is not true, but people like Kanye make me feel that way.

Kanye also made racist comments about Katrina. I agree Bush messed up the whole thing, but it should be noted that many white people left the area when warnings of a hurricane were issued. Many black people stayed.
I also remember Kanye saying nobody cares about black people. That’s true, but it’s not racism because nobody really cares about anybody. People mostly care only about themselves and their family. That’s how the world is today, Kanye. It’s not about skin color.

Also (and this is kind of cruel to say but sadly it is true) we should also consider that it’s harder to care for people who live in poor communities and are not really valuable to society in general.
Now when you know the above and you also know most black people in New Orleans were poor and most white people were wealthy, then you know why people did not seem to care much for the black people of New Orleans, and you also know it’s not because they are black but because they are poor. The fact that the poor people happen to be black is a coincidence (I mean if you put aside history, because they became poor because of discrimination towards black people).

People like Kanye bring the fight for racial equality back 50 years. Today, most people understand all races are equal. There are still a few racists, but they are just a handful compared to the entire population, and we will never convince everyone anyway so they are not worth wasting our time.
Today, racism is gone. Black people now have to get wealthy and get out of the poverty where segregation has put them. They have to move up to the next step.
But people like Kanye West don’t want them to move to that next step. They want them to stay at step 1: fighting racism. And if there is no racism to fight, count on Kanye West and the others like him to make up imaginary racism.

Yes Kanye, keep up that attitude of “it’s a white person vs. a black person, it has to be racist” (I’m surprised you are not offended to see white athletes competing with black athletes at the Olympics). Keep that attitude of “whites hate us”.

Kanye, are you just stupid?
Are you jealous the people who listen to your music will be as wealthy as you if they get education and jobs, so you try to slow down their progress?
Is this all a big publicity stunt (I hardly know you for your music after all. Every time I hear about you it’s because of something you did).
Are you bipolar?
Are you afraid of yourself and need a visible enemy to feel secure (like most racists)?
What is wrong with you Kanye? Why don’t you say this to us the next time you go on TV to rant about how black people are discriminated against?

And why did not you complain that America still won’t let a black president in the white house unless he’s half white?

kanye had reasons to be upset
but wrong time to show it i agree
its the VMA VIDEO music awards

and taylors song even if it was like the beatles(A Stretch I know)
If there Video SUCKED and like Bob Dylans Video RULED, The Beatles would stilll win for everyone liking there music more not there video…

Thats why he was upset he didnt say anything against Her music just the video someone else made for her…

and he didnt cut off her mtv technically did he said ‘Im going to let you finish.’ but mtv cut it off.

He appologized shit happens, LIfe continues

“Grown up black men disrespecting and humiliating an innocent, young and obviously very talented singer Taylor in front of multimillion viewers national TV….this is so sad…”

Black men are generalized as a problem… while all the young, innocent…. and most importantly…. white Taylor Swifts of the world are being victimized at their hands. What a pathetic view on life.

Besides Kanye was right anyway and Beyonce won the award to prove it. Just another drunk celeb screw up… get over it already. [2]
