Roseanne Barr on Kanye West Hijacking Taylor Swift VMA

[imcrazy85]

[creatorofk]

Is that Aunt Jackie with her?

[kevalenoxx]

@creatorofk

No ahaha

@khristthelord

I'm not a fan of kanye or beyonce. I am just talking about the overreaction of white america to this incident. You can't say it was proportionate to what he done. Sure it was stupid but it wasn't a national scandal like it was turned in into. Racism doesn't disappear in one generation. A couple of decades ago he'd have been hanged by the kkk and that's no joke.

[katiakapovich]

kanye west is a racest jerk!!

[WYTA2007]

the old lady in the background looks possessed.

[BrianMak]

@jamlynNY I 100% agree. That was a compassionate and thoughtful thing to say. I have a lot of respect for Roseann for saying that.

[BlueLeopard200]

Kanye being black had a lot to do with the anger from whites

it might be the 21st century but it was the sight of a black rapper threatening a blonde "innocent" country girl that brought out all the deeply rooted racist feelings in white america

if it was a white guy it would have been controversial but it would never have been as big a scandal as it was

I'm glad he done it because he was right, that dumb country slut didn't deserve the award

[min72ish]

[TheAlysheba]

I didn't like what Kanye did, but come on... Taylor got a load of free press from that incident, and winning the hearts of america because of mean, 'ole Kanye..He did her a favor in the long run..

I don't particularly like country, and didn't even know who Taylor Swift was until that happened...

[hoosierdaddyinsfca]

Right ON Rosie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DecemberWinter23]

She's stupid here, make mistakes ? that was NO MISTAKE Kanye is a grown man he could have been more mature about it.

[HaterMentality]

@DecemberWinter23

You need to come out of your screwed up world. Grown men all over the world make mistakes. Being a grown man doesn't make him a fucking "Jesus".

[DecemberWinter23]

@HaterMentality There's a fucking difference between a GROWN man, and having manners.

I mean would you want someone to interrupt you when you were talking?

It was TAYLORS turn NOT HIS!

he could have vocalized his opinion somewhere else.

I don't hate him or Taylor, neither do I like any of them

it was just my damn opinion on Rosanne , I still like her, I always have

Jesus Fucking Christ!.

[HaterMentality]

@DecemberWinter23

If you don't like either of them, then there's no need to rage pointless topics all over the internet.

It was a mistake, just like Roseanne said, & nothing to do with having manners. I wouldn't care if someone interrupted me just like Kanye did, I'd find it hilarious. Taylor should be glad that she won & leave it at that. Gain a sense of humor for once.

Almost forgot:

"Jesus Fucking Christ!." - As you say.

[DecemberWinter23]

@HaterMentality You'd find it funny if someone said that someone else had a better music video then you ?

your sick minded.

[HaterMentality]

@DecemberWinter23

Sick minded over a music video.? That's just fucking hilarious & typical coming from a person like you.. Acting as though Kanye West threatened Taylor's life by doing what he did.

I feel sorry for your offspring.

[DecemberWinter23]

@HaterMentality You don't have any manners , your the type of person who would give rudeness a second chance. I feel bad for your parents.

[HaterMentality]

@DecemberWinter23

Yeah, so do I.

But I'll eventually grow out of it, while you remain a dumb-ass.

[pyroprince78]

she's so wise in suggesting a rational manner of forgiveness. still, what he did was unforgivable. hurting an innocent young woman while blowing the whistle in that anti-establishment spirit? that's screwed.

[anairda220]

she gets it

[KaelinPWNS]

@whothehellgivesadamn FUCK YOU

[rattube2000]

XOX

smart women are sexy

[mdawg208]

I love Roseanne, she is so funny. She is hott too!

[tnhollaboy]

Well said

[bscboyz10]

peace i love her she sexy too

[shinobilee]

Haha that baseball game was funny haha.

[ddtoots]

she is my goddess!ha

she is amazing. and soo true what she says.

[mookiesmith18]

I think you just insulted all less fortunate people. I don't believe kanye is uneducated. He has to learn when and when not too.

[mookiesmith18]

I could SOMEWHAT understand the grieving part. He lost his mother while being famous. So he could still be trying to get over that. I'm not nessecarily sticking up for him but i'm trying to be a little considerate about where his mind is at now.

[luvdontthinkso11]

I understand what you saying but that seems like a really strange way to exspress that

[mookiesmith18]

Yea your right. The thing about kanye is that he speaks his mind, and he doesn't care what people think, but there is time and a place. The things hes been doing in the last few yrs was stupid, but i think people need to understand his personality. If he fills like something went wrong on live tv you can expect that he will tell the whole world what he thinks. It was most definately dumb what he did to taylor. I think he might need some self control.He can't always say or do the first thing that

[mookiesmith18]

comes to mind. It's best that he sits back and let the moment happen.

[Rawk4Life]

Kanye should not be using his mother's death as an excuse as he's raised a stink before. He exclaimed "I was robbed!" when he didn't get an MTV Europe Award a couple of years ago, and griped on MTV back in 2003 that he'd be pissed if he didn't receive a Grammy Award for his album Late Registration. He's a big crybaby and needs to get on with his life. I can't sympathize with an artist who complains constantly about the awards he THINKS he deserves.

[Rawk4Life]

Kanye West was grieving, over what, the fact that he's a whiney baby everytime he doesn't get what he wants? Liberals always stick together, even when one of them makes an idiot of themselves on national TV and doesn't really deserve sympathy. Kayne complained like this before, so Rosanne should not be defending him.

[xceeejy]

ros[e*]anne can defend whomever she wants. and liberals don't always stick together, but thanks for your generalization. i'm very, very liberal yet i don't agree with his taking the microphone away from taylor swift.

but shouldn't it be conservatives sticking together?

i mean, shouldn't all conservatives be pissed since a black man did that to a white woman? (i'm sarcastically generalizing that all conservatives are racist, just to be like you)

[Rawk4Life]

For the last time, conservatives aren't racist. Don't you get it that the liberals are calling everyone who didn't vote for Obama a racist? That is the most idiotic thing I've ever heard. Liberals don't always stick together? RIIIIGHHHHTTT!!!!!!

[xceeejy]

conservatives aren't racist? really? there's not ONE SINGLE CONSERVATIVE who is racist? you're dumb. and i'm a liberal and i'm not calling people who didn't vote for obama a racist, so OBVIOUSLY they don't always stick together.

[Rawk4Life]

I'm a CONSERVATIVE and I've never been racist. If George W. Bush is so racist, why did he select Condolezza Rice and Colin Powell to serve on board with him when he got elected to the Presidency in 2001? Alan Keyes is a black man, and is also conservative, in what way is he racist? And you're calling me dumb, there's the pot calling the kettle black. You said all conservatives are racist, so you might as well say the same for people who didn't vote for Obama, most of whom are conservative.

[xceeejy]

you are such an idiot. if you would read the whole thing i said, i said "(i'm sarcastically generalizing that all conservatives are racist, just to be like you)." retard. and i never said bush is racist... weirdo.

[Rawk4Life]

Based on your immature behavior, I am not convinced of your sarcasm since you resort to petty insults and childish names towards me. Stop talking while you're ahead because you're making yourself sound more foolish.

[xceeejy]

no.. you're the one looking foolish.

[Rawk4Life]

If people like Kanye West, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Whoopi Goldberg didn't make fools of themselves everytime they opened their mouths, maybe the racial stereotypes would decrease. But, there are just as many idiots that are white as well.

[dshelton16]

Wow I actually respect her a lot more after an answer like that... stay classy....

[rockloyalty522]

wow im surprised considering that came outta rosanne.

[squintz84]

True dat, Roseanne... There is this quote I like, "My fault is not my passions, but my lack of control over them.".... Eh.
