Open Letter to Kanye West Re: Taylor Swift VMA s Speech

[Nienke131]

Well spoken. I'm glad that there are people like you out there who speak their mind

[pavspup]

well said...you seem cool.

[novarone72]

what was out the window?? maybe kanye?

[MindYoConductNucca]

Good points made but as much of an asshole and self absorbed mofo Kanye is....he aint the devil neither. I don give a fuck bout no taylor swift but if she forgave him then the rest of us can. Beyonce got the most embarassed tho cuz she got caught in the middle of some hot mess. Maybe he should dump Amber...i think it her fault.

[movinsouth29]

One of the best and most intelligent views regarding Kanye's behavior I've read. Highly respected men and women of Kanye's race have worked very hard and have been very decent, down to earth, etc., to get all their sisters and brothers the respect they deserve...and then Kanye pulls this shit. I am a white woman and I will no longer listen to his music, much less buy it. Yeah, people make mistakes, but how many of this nature does he get to make?

[sw1zzie]

In the words of Kanye,

 "......ooooo they so sensitive....."

[lilleyofthevalley]

I really hopes he learned his lesson. Disrespectful, rude. selfish, arrogant, and nasty behaviour will not be tolerated. I hope he is truly sorry and will try to improve himself like he told Jay and is not saying that to stop the backlash and save his career. He also dishonored his mother by acting like a spoil brat. All of the blacks I spoke to or who I heard spoke about this deplores hisbehaviour so I don't want people to think that majority don't because of your experience with that woman.

[BagOfToes]

Kanye is a punk. They should ban his loud mouthed stupid ass from awards shows since he can't behave like a mature adult. I don't care what color he is, that was unprofessional and childish.

[brodis11]

HAHAHAHAHAHA The next motherfucking album I'm gettting off of limewire! Classic sir, classic =]

[fatface9191]

Nobody is perfect...Kw messed up...keep it moving

[daferimavs07]

Damn dude you are in the ball!!!!....i really hope Kanye sees this video...u should definitly come out on TV!!!...and for sure i would never ever buy anything that has to do with Kanye West, not even LimeWire.

[themaskedman115]

truth

[downatthereservoir]

Amen! AND I'll bet Rep. Joe Wilson is the biggest Kanye fan today because what Kanye did took Joe Wilson's racist "YOU LIE" outburst off the front page and replaced it with his foolishness. Nice going Kanye.

[Yrhp8268]

Well said. Best video commentary I've seen so far regarding this matter. 5 stars.

However, I think it's uncalled for that Blacks feel ashamed as if you personally did something wrong. None of you are to blame for Kanye's actions just because you share skin color. No one is to blame for Kanye's shitty behavior but Kanye. Quit blaming yourselves. When a white person commits an offensive act, I sure as hell don't blame myself. I blame that particular individual.

[fancypants3100]

Let me just point out that Beyonces Video wasnt even that good. It was uncalled for and gross. I love beyonce dont get me wrong but Taylor had the better video. Kanye was very wrong , he shouldnt be aloud to come back to the VMAs.

[aishadk]

I like what you said, since I was also a Kanye fan, but im a bit tired of his egoistic behavior. Because he can't win himself he has to get attention drawn to himself.

take care

Well said!

[fjcivdawg]

Fair enough!

[Ndure13]

stopped listening at 4:23. wtf was that...

[sexcess1]

If you continued to listen after 4:23, you would see it was a joke. Partial listening leads to partial understanding my dude.

[Ndure13]

I heard you say you were joking, but even that humor stems from some variation of the misguided "king kong" complex - where blonds are perceived as sacred, and black men - beasts that hold them against their will. Don't mean to get preachy, but the race of the victim is completely irrelevant. Its has no bearing on the "lowness" of the act. That's why it annoyed me even as humor - it sounded like u you were saying that b/c she was a blond it makes the act even more despicable, which is wack.

[sexcess1]

"even that humor stems from some variation of the misguided "king kong" complex" - I see your point - even in jest there was something deeper. OK thanks for watching. Be well!

[Ndure13]

you too. You have a good head on your shoulders, don't change.

[gilmarr23]

I,am a big fan off Kanye.. This dude looks gay. You dont like youre skin color go bleek your skin.

Kanye keep telling this fools the truth.

Get lost..Go Kanye i like that shit. I see 2-Pac in you.

[SteelHex]

gilmarr23, there's time and place for everything. For not understanding that, you 're exactly the "nigger" that sexcess1 is talking about, regardless of your skin color.

What is the truth? This is art, not math, so there's no absolute truth, and even if there is, Kanye is definitely not its prophet. The truth is people voted for Taylor.

Kanye's act has the same magnitude as somebody interrupting a funeral service by saying bad things about the deceased. True or not it's still fucked up.

[Hanssen69]

Your an ass for saying that. Kuntye Pest is an asshole for doing what he did. No right to disrespect anyone like that period.

[Hanssen69]

The reply I below made is to gilmarr23 not to you sexcess1

[sexcess1]

ok thanks for clearing that up I got it though :-)

[Hanssen69]

Well no problem.

[sexcess1]

I wont even offer a rebuttal to your ignorance, instead I'll attack your punctuation and spelling since you gave me sooo much to work with LOL

I,am=I'm

off=of

1 period, not two

youre=your

bleek=bleach

this=these

Sadly the only sentence you got right was the attack on my sexually SMDH

And oh Tupac was murdered soo you keep on with that train of thought ;-(((((((

[martinrandle]

I applaud you for your comments. You sir, are an ambassador.!

[TheGuider]

I applaud standing up, my man...

[chenism]

I'm Asian and a big fan of MJ. Kanye totally ripped off the night from MJ. It was suppose to be about MJ's night, a tribute for him. What Kanye did was stole the night and Taylor Swift was on the wrong place and wrong time which was ironic since she was the winner. She was suppose to be on stage. Beyonce is a classy lady. I run your video twice and I emphatize with you being a African American. I understand because if he was a Filipino, I would have felt the same, ashamed.

[lifefortruth]

Your speech is good man

KEYE CANT EVEN CREAT HIS OWN MUSIC HE STEEL OTHER'S EX: LISTEN TO ALAN PARSONS PROJECT "AMONIA AVANEU" FOR PROOF

[Hanssen69]

First off thanks from a white man to a black man for speaking the truth second thank you Beyonce for being a classy lady and letting Taylor speak her mind.

Kanye is an asshole for what he did to Taylor at the VMA's. He had no right going up and interupting her speech. This is not a race issue or an freedom of speech issue. There is a limit that free speech allows and interupting Taylor and this is not free speech but disrespect.

He disrespected Taylor.

[VeinKiller2]

good speech man i love people who speak their minds like you in a good fashioned manner :)

[Razonator]

I totally agree!!! He made a huge dumbass mistake that I don't even think he's sorry about.

[SteelHex]

Wow, wonderful and thoughtful speech from a man who obviously knows first hand about civility and manners. Bravo!

You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

[sexcess1]

Thank you for the kind words !!!! :-) Your response is most gracious and my favorite so far.

[fancypants3100]

I THINK U ROCK!!

[sexcess1]

thank u :-)

[cedricnichols]

go man i bet tat he lost a lot of fans since that

[oahuguy]

haha loved EVERY secong of your adress to kanye especially the dig @ the end about d/l his next album for free. im not a fan of either rap or country but ma damn did this hit a nerve w/me. GR8 vid my man ALOHA

[jordangaiger]

;) awesome dude!

so true

thanks for this:)

[pirateDonkey]

lol, bro, nice one. More people should watch this video.

[acjmmj]

absolutely! all the videos i've seen have been some pimply face kids bitching, not making any kind of sense. he will definitely feel the corporate wraith from this blunder. limewire! lmao!

[bondrankin69]

I'm so glad you posted this Video letter / speech because you hit the nail on the head with what Kanye did .... NO-ONE should have to go through what Taylor Swift went through, no matter who they are, and SHAME on you KANYE!!! That was very , very disrepectful and ignorant.... I was shocked !!! How could you do that? ....

Thank you - Beyonce for giving Taylor her moment in the spotlight that was very gracious.. I ♥ u for that .

[FallenScreamer]

Kudos!!

[harlemprincess01]

this was right on target darling...i'm so happy you posted this b/c you're not the ONLY one who felt this way, there was a lot of black people who felt he was ignorant and just plain disrespectful.

[jussbluu]

You go boy! I loved this truly. He should have been ashamed! Shame on Kanye. I applaud u for doing this.
