Is Kanye West a Racist?

[TheCloser]

If a white person had pulled the same crap as Kanye the media would've crucified him! Their career would've been over....there is always a double standard with this stuff.

Have you heard about Serena Williams tirade? She challenges a ref call, gets out of line, gets a penalty that ends up making a difference in the outcome of the match and now is screaming racism.... Very disappointed in her antics, I thought she had more class.

Even more disappointing is her follow-up "interview"(that I'd be willing to guess her agent demanded her to do asap so she wouldn't lose any endorsements!). She said she loved history, wanted to learn from her mistakes, move on with life, etc...but bottom line...never apologized for her comments or behavior to the judge or tournament officials...not only is she out $10K, but could be suspended. Game, set, match USTA. (hey wait, is that McEnroe laughing over there?????)

Kanye West is scheduled to perform on the new Jay Leno show tonight. Hollywood pulls stuff like that to get more people to watch the shows, you never know. kanye West is a dirt bag

Yes, he is...but, he's also pretty smart in marketing himself. If you pay attention, every time you go a while without seeing his name in the news for something, he pulls something like this to get his name in the news again.

Do you think more people will watch him tonight or less after what he did?

To his fan demographic, stunts like that are actually cool. He'll sell more records because of it. So in that sense it's less a reflection him than it is on our societal values.

I'm more disappointed in Leno than anything, for his contribution in mainstreaming this P.O.S.

(Not that I give a rat's ass about any of those imbecilic award shows...I'd rather have my fingernails pulled off with pliers than have to sit through one of them.)

Racist is a pretty steep word. Ill stick to douche.

No Racist is exactly what he is! It is what it is.

He is both.

Taylor Swift should take him to task for what he did, really call him out on it. He's just a punk. And apparently too f'ing retarded to realize Beyonce wasn't even nominated in that category!

As for his claim... please... the only thing missing from Beyonce's so-called "best video ever" was a pole! who cares 3 hos shaking their big butts around for 4 minutes. Great? Hardly.
