Hello:

Give me a F##K#IN# break that he would have interrupted a black person. That is a complete fairy tale. He made sure it was a white person.

The double standard in this country when it comes to theses types of these things is laughable. If you were to reverse the roles and a white country star interrupted a black female music artist during her acceptance speach he would immediately be branded a racist and his career would be finished.

White people in this country are so afraid to confront black people on black racism that it borderlines cowardness. We know have a balck president in the white house, so guess what black people you no longer lack political or financial power, and yes welocme to the 21th century you can be racists.

The Kayne West apology was a complete joke. He basically made excuses for his behavior by trying to make people feel sorry for him.

But of course the white liberal media will accept his apology with open arms. I am suprised they have not found a way to say that
Taylor Swift invoked the incident and is a racist.

Yep. He would have upstaged a black artist.

He’s going on tour with Lady Gaga. How is he a racist? He’s in the music business and interacts with whites all the time. Last time I checked, the music industry was hugely a white owned industry. He did it to get his name out there…and it worked. It was a jerk move, but it was effective.

Now, the question for you is, would you be so bent out of shape if Kanye was white and Taylor was black? My guess is you would not be writing in to defend a black Taylor Swift.

Does anyone believe that Kanye would have interupted the speech of a lack artist?

TT, what makes you think Kanye West is a racist? Are any and all incidents between blacks and whites racial? By that measure, the right wing attacks on Obama are racial. Do you agree that they are racial? Frankly, I’d agree with Ms. Washington that you were likely not a West fan anyway so you’re boycott won’t be effective. It’s people like you who drove the Beatles into seclusion for no legitimate reason.

As for the boycotting, I doubt you listened to his music anyway. I’m sure he wouldn’t mind if you purchased his music so you can then burn it later.

There’s a lot of name-calling in your comment, but you don’t back it up with concrete evidence to support your claim that West is a racist. Where’s your proof?

Who is Keyna West? He IS a RACIST. He is a bully. He is a coward. Had he done this to a black artist he would have had his ass kicked. Instead he choose a vulnerable teenager to bully. How manly of him. He chooses to verbally assault and batter white contestants. Google kanye west, racist and see for yourself. Watch U Tube. Keyna West is RACISM. A parasite, a bully, a coward.
What facts did you analyze to come to the conclusion that kenya west does not “appear to be” a racist. You justify, you conclude that racist West GENUINELY thought Beyonce should win. OH, I didn’t know that justified his racist outrageous demeaning of Ms. Swift. You further continue to defend his racist ways by bringing in other low life’s into the mix, again trying to distract readers into thinking he is a “bad boy”.
Racist West finally, and I mean finally apologized to Ms. Swift after she appeared the NEXT day on The View and publicly stated she had heard NOTHING from Racist West. His facade of an apology on Jay Leno was silence and a poor attempt to appear distraught at questioning, but recovered quick enough to sing.
Ms. Washington grasps at anyone (Brand???) who defends West. Even Brand said, “Kanye may have picked the wrong person to target. “Taylor Swift’s a young kid, isn’t she? Yeah, you can’t make a pretty girl cry.” A pretty teenager. What he fails to point out is when Racist West has done the same with other black artists.
Kenya West is an underground RACIST, he is a bully, he is a coward, he attacks teenagers, a parasite to make himself feel better.
Your article doesn’t convince me. I am boycotting all of RACIST West’s products and sponsors. And where have Al and Jesse been? They chant racism every time they can brand someone. Oh, I see why.
