Kanye West a racist??? Come on!!!

[cybernautflowbot]

I guess it just seems like if the roles were reversed and a white guy came on stage ripped the mic from Beyonce and said Taylor Swift had the greatest video of all time, there'd be a lot of black folk saying that it's racist. Maybe this is a good time for everybody to cool their jets and stop looking at everything as be racial.

[OvercomeTheThingsUDo]

Kanye West; A racist? No. A discriminator? Yes. Conceited? That everyone might know. A very limited artist with a closed mind to people with a different interest and a different idea of excellent music? I feel it so, so--- true.

[fleshtreat78]

kanye west is a fucking disgrace to the human race!

[BARLAMEI]

he is racist in his song power he says this is white mans world but were the ones chosen thats sounds pretty racist

[ScabbyJill]

Yes! I totally agree, Kanye is stupid. Not racist. Stupid.

I've noticed a big pattern watching these videos, White people are saying he's a racist and Black people are saying he's not. Say a lot about our society.

[mikidee27]

the whole taylor swift thing isn't the only time kanye's looked racist, he just plain hates white ppl haha it's that easy

[JacobinaFO]

Come on people.. Are u kidding me!? Racist, really?

you guys are acting like fools, He made ONE stupid mistake.. A LOOOONG TIME AGO !! Everyone makes mistakes EVERYONE..

And it was a matter between those two ppl, not the whole world ..

He makes great music, and if you dont like it, dont listen - find something else to talk about, you're own life maybe ..

call me stupid or naive, I DONT CARE .. I know who i am, and what i stand for!!

Racist my ass, theres only one race and its called HUMAN..

[MarleyRapuano]

Were all racist....And we should be proud of or race!

And be Thankful that our race is not alone

We get to share life with so many other cultures

[Yephenpeace]

@MarleyRapuano I'm not racist? and I only believe in one race, the human race.

[RaNdOmNeSs123TV]

I tottallyy agree with you!! It should have nothing to do with race! Kanye did what he did cuz he's an ignorant asshole.

[HongKongKanto]

stop being racist nigger and apologize what kayne did

[liltroy44]

you sound like a C.E.O. trying to explain how his company is not racist because of some idiot is bringing up (and winning) some ridiculous lawsuit.

[jakesurface]

big d for u look like a i took a big dumb

[BklynBryan]

Kanye West loves FISH DICKS and he is a GAY FISH!!!

[BoredSpectre]

This coming from a neutral and non-American dude:

No matter how some people disprove it, and manipulate their arguments. Kanye is a racist.

Those who think that he isn't --and what he did to Swift was ok-- are retards. =D

And I'm not racist. I'm a fan of many African American athletes, artists, and writers. ^^,

[Corvettes66]

Have you seen Kanye West New video?

Kanye West - Runaway (Full-length Clean)

/watch?v=O7W0DMAx8FY

@ 10:35 onward you can clearly see how racist Kanye West here... I'm not going to explain in detail you'll what I'm talking about... But maybe you don't see it...

[lion575]

Kanye West was well known as a racist long before this incident. All that racist crap that spewed out of his mouth during the Katrina issue tainted him as a racist already .... so now whenever he says something he is already viewed as a racist.

[BadConquedence]

@lion575 Wait a minute there's many people that felt the same way Kanye did. During Katrina even some white people felt the reason Bush neglected New Orleans was because most of the inhabits was black. Another fact Kanye West has worked with many white artist he had a white girlfriend at the time. Kanye West was drunk that night and he is close friends with Beyonce and her husband in Kanye warped mind at the time he thought he was doing a friend a favor period.

[zevy100]

dude im sorry. kanye west didnt do that cause he was drunk. thats just him

[MinsterRogers]

shut the fuck up you faggot bigdonblack.

kanye is a racist little piece of shit. he took the mic away from her had nothing to do with skills, it had everything to do with race.

kanye west is that type of black person where if a white person is ahead of black people in any way they go berserk. kanye west is 100% racist.

in fact, i think he's more racist than michael richards.

[tattooshopjunkie]

senator wilson apologised to the president.. he should not have shouted at him during the speech.. but i respect wilson for calling it as he sees it, do you remember what the speech was about?

[kromed01]

Kanye West is not a racist he is just a dick plain and simple.

[mefondlevagina]

Nobody was talked about that senator because nobody really knows who he is. Most people don't pay as much attention to politics.

[GeoWing2]

@mefondlevagina

this comment alone shows how stupid our country is. People would rather deal with something that doesn't even matter, kanye and swift are terrible excuses for musicians, than look at something that does matter like politics. its a sick sad world we live in when someone can say that pop music is more important than what goes on in our nation's capital. I would think politics would come before pop music because we could stop the creation of art. other nations have done it before.

[nitsua4117]

you know what if a white dude said this to a black girl everyone would be on his shit and then that would be a race issue!

[BWKsoccer06]

There is way too much controversy around that Elvis statement to state that quote as a fact. I personally don't believe elvis did say that but regaurdless of my opinion, u can't pass that quote as a fact

[Totalmachine09]

If a white stormed on statge and ruined a black singer on there you would'nt be making this video defending him but branding them a racist

[thekingofpopmj1234]

@Totalmachine09 : thats not ture!

[Godheval]

Don't blame alcohol. Kanye's an asshole all by himself. But aside from that, you're right. Judging by the ratings of this video vs. the ratings of all the "Kanye is racist" videos kind of informs the perspective of YouTube. So of course THEY are not going to comment on the racist Senator thing.

[CheapBeer09]

Elvis never actually said that!!

Its an urban legend whose origin could never be traced or authenticated

[fave212]

Lost all credibility when he said nobody has ever disrespected the POTUS before. Democrats fully booed him during the state of the union. You can look at your Kanye thing however you want, but honestly, if you think the Joe Wilson thing looked more racist than this you're insane. He's in the opposite party. He didn't say you lie, John McCain is the best of all time!. Kanye has said racist stuff in the past, known fact. Called mixed race people (like Obama) mutts. Get it straight man.

[fave212]

by "booed him" I meant they booed Bush.

[AmericanPrincess25]

I agree w/ u one hundred percent. An ass is an ass. I'm white and I tottally don't think it was racist, just that he was bieng stupid.

[ScorpionProduktions]

I agree with you, i don't think its particularly racist.  Not any more racist than something a white person might do if they were drunk.

[LpJunior537]

well you know elvis only said those things cause of the time period and place he grew up in. 1950's+ in the south. explains why he said that. most people were racist back then because martin luther king and all that stuff was coming around. racsim is stupid. and not to cause a riot but if people can forgive elvis, why cant people let the whole slave and oppresion thing go. it happen what 200 years ago? people are more equal now then before.

[loreb4data]

Elvis NEVER said them. It's an urban myth. In other words, not true. It was proven false years ago. People can forgive Elvis, but you are clearly not someone who's opinion has any merit in fact. Considering you think it happened 200 years ago. Elvis was not racist. It's unfortunate that some fools just post without knowing what they're talking about.

[LpJunior537]

no i meant slavery in this country is over, but yet they keep bringing it up so race is still an issue. and you dont need to flip out over a youtube comment, your opinion doesn't have merit either if you think your right and others are wrong, i have my opinion and you have yours.

[loreb4data]

Actually I read your comment wrong. But you're right racism is still an issue and it's not limited to any one particular race. There are racist blacks, just as there are racist whites and people of every other culture. Still Elvis was never racist. He never said that. I'm tired of people continuing to perpetrate that myth without actually taking the time to find out if it's true.

[Minty8585]

It's funny how blacks hate the race card being pulled on them!

[jsmith7291979]

Meanwhile some jackass with an Acura comes in with brand new shoes gold teeth and brand new FUBU shit comes in and gets his food stamps....you are right we still have a ways to go

[jsmith7291979]

Guess what though..you ended up with a hell of a lot more priveledge than those left behind. I've been to Africa and seen what true poverty is...not what you THINK it is. You haven't been oppressed a day in your life more than I.

RACISM IS NOT A TERM TO DESCRIBE ONLY WHITE PEOPLE OPPRESSING OTHERS. I'm tired of your stupid word games, hell even reverse racism doesn't make sense. RACISM IS RACISM...get a damned education.

[Lotrioni]

seriously have u been to all of africa? do u seriously think the whole of africa is just povertY? u are the most ignorant motherfucker ever. u watch news showing countries that are at civil wars, and the poverty in africa was caused by white people too. They went there to colonise the continent so that they can take resources, AND SLAVES. they just left less than 40 years ago, leaving devastates people begining to build their countries from scratch

[jsmith7291979]

I've been to Malawei and Kenya both. If anything majority of white people in Africa came their to help your people become more civilized and help them with various infrastructure. Even in Malawei and Kenya there was a sharp divide amongst the wealthy and poor. BTW there are also poor white people there who get discriminated against. Just youtube South Africa apartteid.

[Lotrioni]

white people came to afria to help?? white people did more damage to africa and right now they are just sitting back, watching. I can't give them any credit for anything about africa because we all know what they did. colonized and exploited and applied the divide and rule which left africans divided and subsequently led to civil wars which are still going on to this very day. why did they have to interrupt afican people developing at their own pace

[jsmith7291979]

What was the war about between the hootoos(sp?) and the tootsies(sp?) you jackass? It had nothing to do with the white man. If we let you develop at your own pace you would be stuck in the stone age as many tribal people are in Africa. Please feel free to discuss all the countries run by white people in Africa. If anything the real problem is corrupt leadership from the top coming from AFRICANS<----! Like how in Somalia all the food being distributed by the U.N. was being seized by warlords.

[jsmith7291979]

Here I will predict what you will say:

The war between the hootoos and Tootsies was based on religions that originated by the white man.

African people invented everything and the ideas were stolen by the white man.

All countries in Africa are secretly run by the white man.

The white man funds the warlords.

I'm a brain washed black man, and the one solution to all my problems is blaming the white man.

[Lotrioni]

wow! as it turns out you are very much aware of the real truth. You even know how christian missionaries were sent there to strip people of their religious values so that the white man can get through easily. These things had impact to this very day . we all know that civilization started in africa, surprisingly u think if u didn't come there they would still be stuck in stone age. Those people are not stuck in stone age, they are poor, suffering the impact of colonization

[Lotrioni]

who told u that the system that is currently running today is the best for the world. This is just a state of ur mind. It's all an illusion. U think you are better than people who are not using and developing technology but infact u aren't. It is very clear how technology is affecting our planet, we can not continue living like this indefinitely otherwise the end of the universe is inevitable

[jsmith7291979]

I'm all for sending people like you back to Africa(America Haters). BTW being someone such as yourself who is against technology why do you constantly spout BS over the internet?

You have clearly demonstrated to everyone the main problem in the black community which is people who think like you. At least a Ku Klux Klan idiot comes at you with bedsheets on and you know what kind of ignorance he's going to say. You on the other hand pose as someone who is enlightened to other black when in..

[jsmith7291979]

... all actuality you are spewing poison to them and giving them no reason to accept personal responsibility. You are in fact even worse than a man in a KKK uniform because you are hiding the fact that you are the same idealogically. Take a hike you moron.

[CHUMAIO]

it should be pointed out that the earlier statement by jsmith stating that the war between the hutu and the tutsi had "nothing to do with the whiteman" is completely ignorant. The German and Belgian colonizers did a lot to divide those two people. It's easy to look up and find that it is true.

[jsmith7291979]

Sure understanding your history is nice, but to throw it in our face everyday is getting old!! I never owned a slave and also you were never a slave, so quit crying! You get back what you put in.

[RMCDisciple]

Kanye did everything but call Taylor Swift a cracker.

[skloogerblugin]

i dont hate black people but... why is it when a white man calls a black man a liar its racist but when a black man disses a white girl because a black girl didnt win it isnt? by the way the white man was stating a fact he is a liar :)

[chainsawsage]

Alcohol is a truth serum

[penguincharmer]

You said presidents are never talked about...

Pretty should Kanye said "George bush doesn't like black people"

I'm not a fan of Obama or Bush but Kanye is a dick head and very close to a racist in my book.

[devilMiro]

he is a racist tho. look at his comments about white people shouldn't be allowed to use 'black' words such as 'bling' until they are out of fashion in the black world? some of his lyrics also would suggest he is racist (white kate moss?). btw i dont listen to elvis, and think he was a racist.

[loreb4data]

Then you are ignorant. The Elvis racist myth is nothing more than an urban legend. It was debunked years ago and found to be not true. Do some research. You'll find that Elvis in fact was anything but racist, building shelters for African Americans in Memphis who had nowhere to go. The reason not many people know about these acts of generosity is because Elvis never did it for image, He cared. Elvis was anything but racist. It was an attempt to tear him down. You think wrong.

[devilMiro]

maybe so, but you seem to ignore 99 percent of my arguement. Indeed the arguement that was the main point of my paragraph. Nevertheless i apologise and meant nothing personal by such a, as rightly accused, ignorant finishing statement.

[loreb4data]

Apology accepted and no hard feelings :)

[falconhater]

I agree with about 85% of your commentary. I commend you on your insight regarding a potentially explosive subject. However, I do feel that if the situation was reversed, and Garth Brooks snatched the microphone from Beyonce and started ranting about Taylor Swift having the best video, Jesse Jackson and the NAACP would be beating down his door and screaming racism to the world or at least anyone who would listen. Would you agree?

[bigddonblack]

He has gone after black artists as well

[krayzie110]

I'd agree with this video.... BUT he did have that meltdown a year or two ago when he was yelling "give a black man a chance" and swearing about Justin and Brittney winning.

[bigddonblack]

@ahsrock1982......Being an African American....every thing in this country is NOT EQUAL...even with a black president...there are still issues of race that need to be dealt with...just becuse sports and enetrtainment are inundated with African Americans does not make things equal...we still have a long way to go. Comments like "strung up on slavery" make me think what you really think about the plight of African Americans.

[jsmith7291979]

No we just think you guys are beating a dead horse. You are right things are not equal.. I as a white man can't get any college scholarships based on my race solely....but you can. I don't get promoted at my job because behind the scenes they tell me "we have too many white people in leadership roles", I have to pick up garbage constantly in my neighborhood (predominantly black) because you are so troubled. I go apply for foodstamps when I was in need and get rejected....

[liltroy44]

@bigddonblack THAT GOES FOR EVERY RACE AND NATIONALITY! they (we as a whole) claim the same shit happens to us! stop making it out to be your race or whatever to be the only victim! and especially stop making it out to only be white people being racist.

[daPlumber702]

@bigddonblack You'll never be able to make everything completely equal or fair.. if it isn't black people it will be fat people.. or bald people.. or people with six fingers on one hand. To make everything "equal" for one group, usually means unbalancing something having to do with another.

You'll never even get close as long as people harp on it instead of moving on and focusing on their own shit.

[brian00000]

he is racist

[ashrok1982]

I think that if Eminem, Taylor Swift or if any other white person was to snatch the mic out of Beyonce's hand or Rhianna's hand...it would be considered racist. Kanye is racist as shit. Him along with many other African Americans are still strung up on "Slavery" and "blacks not being equal"....Our president is African American and most music and sports are dominated by African Americans. Enough of this foolshit...come on black equal...i mean people. OH, and fuck Kanye West.

[roflcopter2006]

Its true, Assholes come in all colours.

good vid.

[jezzaforever123]

Spot on, sir
