Kanye West Crashes VMA Stage During Taylor Swift’s Award Speech

Thank goodness he isn;t consider racist. Imagine if this had been the other way ‘round.

Of course, I didn’t watch the show. I saw the clip, and it was totally tasteless, like Kanye himself.

Give Beyonce, and that black man sitting behind her, credit. They were obviously just as disgusted as everyone else.

Good old Kanye. That’s one more crack in Diversity & Multiculturalism’s already fragile foundation. Keep up the good work.

Athletics and entertainment. That’s all the black race has.

Again, more evidence of what most of us already know. There must have been something in the air that day. Just look at the uncivilized behavior of Serena Williams the same day. What Pink probably doesn’t realize is that this rant was probably more about race than anything else. He doesn’t hate Swift because she’s a woman, but because she’s white. And another thing: I thought 1) that Connie West was a country-western singer and 2) that she was dead.

Imagine how they will behave when in total control like SA.

Also imagine what Obama would say if he would lose self control.

I am not American and I can not understand liberals, to me as an outsider, they are insane, they need some diversity training.
In Eastern Europe people would beat them up, plain and simple.

Obviously, he drank too much cognac.

Well, we already know this guy is anti-white, so does it surprise anyone (at least on Amren) that he would stoop so low as to dim the spotlight on this very talented young woman, Taylor Swift?

He should be PERMANENTLY banned from all music awards shows!

Par for the course with spoiled Black celebreties. If you watch the video you will see that poor Taylor Swift looked like she was about to cry but managed to keep her composure and perform not too much later in the program. He will get by unscathed since he “apologized” to the girl’s mother. As usual, the white people involved will be gracious and West will look like the idiot that he is.

Kanye’s drunkeness brought out the true black attitude; basically that of a two year old. They see something and they want it. Private property rights, justice, morality, compassion, delayed satisfaction, have no truck with the black mind. I’m surprised Kanye did not try to rape Taylor Swift right on staage.

At least Beyonce behaved graciously, calling Miss Swift back to the podium, much to the approval of the audience.

I’m surprised that MTV would even give an award to a country music artist. My older brother who was a teen in the 80s used to watch it back then. But these days they don’t play many music videos and what they do have, my brother says they might as well be called “NTV.” I’m sure you can guess what he means.

Serena Williams and Kanye West…hmmm, what other high-character joys will the wonders of diversity bring us?

Nothing will come out of the Serena Williams affair. In a flurry of effeminate “moral highroading,” tennis authorities will blather on about using Williams’s violent outburst as a “learning experience” or some other such weak-kneed drivel.

As for Taylor Swift however, country music fans seem to be far less, how shall I say…multicultural? For whatever reason, rural whites seem far more willing (on the whole anyway) to stand up for themselves.

I know it’s a stretch to narrowly equate country music with rural life, but I think my fellow posters get my point.

This is similar to Serena Williams’s outburst of a few days ago. When a certain class of blacks think they deserve it, but they don’t get it and some white person gets it instead, they throw a fit. To Beyonce’s credit, she was up next and focused on Taylor Smith.

But this goes to show you how far country music has fallen, that today’s country “singers” can easily cavort with foul-mouthed black “hip hoppers.” That concept would have been unthinkable in the 1960s, or even as late as the late 1970s.

Kanye West is no worse than Kid Rock, Courtney Love and numerous other Whitye entertainers.

When West said Bush didn’t like Black people in the wake of Katrina. Now his actions show that it’s HE who doesn’t like White people.

One news source I read about this incident called this low life a “rap singer.”

Can somebody help me? Since rap is nothing more than bad poetry that never makes a lot of sense, usually attempting to point out something that blacks are delusional about, where does music enter into the picture?

One of the greatest points of degeneration in this country today is the fact that that a no-talent black can be called a singer just for running his mouth.

Read what Beyonce did later on; accepting the award in a different category, she insisted that Swift come up on stage & finish her speech. She has all the class that West is lacking.

Yeah that Kenya West should not be allowed to access the stage. What he did was shockingly rude (pull up article and view video).

Though Beyonce won an award a while later and she actually said the first VMA award is a big deal, and Taylor deserves her moment, she called Taylor Swift onto the stage so she could have “her moment” uninterrupted.

Conspicuously missing from any mention in this article is the “fashion accessory” Kanye West was seen with prior to his boorish behavior that nowadays seems to be typical of blacks in the spotlight.

http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2009/09/video-kanye-west-sips-cognac-pre-outburst

Thus, West is not just a lout, but a drunken one to boot!

Miss Taylor Swift, ever the lady, refused to go anywhere near his level. To her credit, Beyoncé at least had the decency to look mortified during the incident, and afterwards invited Taylor Swift on stage to complete her speech.

http://www.tmz.com/2009/09/14/taylor-beyonce-immediately-reached-out/

Kudos, however, go out to Bizarro world singer/songwriter Alecia Beth Moore (aka Pink) for this:

“During the next commercial break, Pink walked by the rapper and appeared to shake her head in disgust before security escorted her away.”

I’ve read elsewhere that shortly afterwards, she twittered her fans, giving them her spot on opinion of West (which due to commenting guidelines, can’t be printed here).

In the end, however, all of this will mean nothing. That is because this type of behavior is tacitly encouraged, as long as it’s done against Whites, and Miss Taylor Swift has the misfortune of being a White musician in an ever-darkening music world. Sadly, art does imitate life.

It’s a shame this piece of human garbage had to steal a beautiful moment in Ms Swift’s life. Boos don’t come close to what he should have gotten from the audience.

Most Whites have the delusional idea that the more that blacks are “integrated” into the society, then the more polite, civil and respectful they will become. The pinnacle of this supposed metamorphosis is the ascendancy of a black president. At this point, all of America’s sins are supposed to have been washed away, and blacks and Whites will live side by side in harmony.

Or maybe not.

Race realists know better. As blacks feel more at ease to “be themselves” in modern society, their true nature is becoming increasingly apparent. This is why, in every conceivable social measure of success and stability, blacks perform more poorly today than they did fifty years ago. As Whites sheepishly look to integrate and placate, blacks are increasingly more brazen and strident in their tribal instincts. They see our weakness and how we are always willing to lay prostrate before them, and they feel confident in their ability act out with impunity. Yes, I know it’s just a stupid dumb stunt at a stupid dumb awards ceremony where a black man selfishly grabs the microphone from a White in order to promote another black who didn’t deserve the award. But little things like this can speak volumes. How many blacks want to secretly grab for themselves the things you have rightfully earned?

I abhor MTV and the destruction it has caused not only to Western Civilization but to the entire world. There’s no such thing as ‘White Flight’ when pathological ghetto culture can be beamed directly into your living room. Just look at the contrast in civility and class between “Kanye” and Swift!

When I read about this and viewed the video, I was steaming angry. I am SICK and TIRED of the inexusable and pathological behavior of blacks. This incident came on the heels of Serena Williams threating to KILL an umpire (an Asian woman) over a questionable call, and another incident a couple of weeks ago when a black running back from Oregon sucker-punched a White player. And these were only the incidents on-camera for everyone to see! I’m sure there were countless other off-camera incidents as well!

I hope this incident FINALLY becomes a turning point for Whites and other non-blacks and that they wake up and realize that this type of behavior is NOT “cool” and that black “culture” is pathological, not to be mimicked and start taking pride in their own heritage and culture. Enough with political correctness!

We should boycott “black” events and support White ones:
STOP watching and going to NFL games.
STOP watching and going to NBA games.
DO NOT allow your children to watch MTV or buy ANY hip-hop music.

The list could go on and on, but I hope I’ve made my point.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!

I hate rappers. I hate hip hop. I despise and loathe how the “ghetto” culture and ghetto talk has become so mainstream and socially acceptable in our culture nowadays. It’s a loser, low-life lifestyle. Why would anyone think that’s something good?

What a class act! Isn’t this the same moron who said Bush didn’t care about black people?

i apologize for no cap’s or some types on punctation d/t a bad keyboard.

this is a good example of what i have always maintained about young, testosterone-ridden, low intelligent black males i.e. they take action, many times on impulse and doing harm without thinking of the consequences. our jails and prisons are full of them. thank god they finally nailed o.j.

the internet is hot with this story and even liberal sources like rolling stone magazine don’t slant their stories in support of this punk. i went to youtube to get a glimpse of the video but it had been taken down due to some sort of copyright infringement with viacom.
thankfully america was able to view that part of the awards show on ‘the o’reilly factor’ and ‘hannity’s america’ tonight monday sept. 14. what i saw was a bully of a black thug - who apparently always gets his way - snatch the microphone away from an humble white child as she was giving her acceptance speech. a mere girl of 19 won a video award - by popular vote - and she was enjoying one of the highest peaks in her young life and this talentless black punk stold it from her. seems he thought beyounce, a young black star should have gotten it. of course we all know race had nothing to do with his favorite.

after his outrageous outburst, he was roundly booed by a largely white liberal audience. there was only so much time alotted for this so taylor’s acceptance speech was cut short and her bubble bursted. i understand that the white artist ‘pink’ glared at him to the point of intimidation and of course she, not kanye, was escorted from the building for her behavior. this after west flagged the audience ”the bird”, further crashing taylor’s moment.

as a side note, the camera footage showed beyonce’s reaction as kanye was delivering his rant. she was smiling as if she thought it was somehow harmless at least and funny at worst. when she saw how negatively the crowd reacted, she rushed to taylor’s side later on in the show. my guess is that she made the decision to do this on the basis of how it would affect her own career…knowing full well the audience was watching her reaction. she had lost the award to taylor anyway and has already establihed herself as a star. afterall, what did she have to loose and had everything to gain by her support of taylor. maybe i’m wrong, but just a thought in light of more growing black solidarity every day.

You guys do a great job of exposing the truth. I can’t stop going to this site though… Stuff Black People Don’t Like. Who does this site? They nailed it beautifully!

http://stuffblackpeopledontlike.blogspot.com/2009/09/341-public-displays-of-kanye-west.html

What Mr. West did was essentially rape a white woman in public. I wish the white men had rioted and went after that racist african piece of you know what.

What is his problem? Immaturity or did he forget to take his psychtropics?

Once again, my dislike of blacks and their “culture” is not caused by a racist upbringing but it is a dislike blacks only have to thank themselves for. Black women have no respect for black men and I understand why.

“Good old Kanye. That’s one more crack in Diversity & Multiculturalism’s already fragile foundation. Keep up the good work.”

I thought the same thing when I watched this! From “George Bush doesn’t like black people” to this, it’s like Stormfront is paying this dork under the table.

“What Mr. West did was essentially rape a white woman in public.”

No Elrey, it wasn’t not on any level at all, please let’s keep this thing on an adult level.

Those of you giving kind words for Bouncy or whatever her name is, the mulatto, should note that she is grinning in the audience while that guy West is ranting on stage. Obviously both of them hate White people. It must be terrible for her to compete in the real world with someone as beautiful as Taylor Swift with her fake hair, thick makeup and skin bleachers. The tone of her skin seems to change every time she’s in front of a camera.

Another 70 IQ black.

Maybe Hussein will come to his rescue like he did with the Harvard prof vs the cop.

My six year old speaks better than this freak.

I was furious when I saw that beautiful and gracious 19 year old girl, treated that way on national television by ranting childish, 32 year old media whore like Kanye West. He has been spouting off like this for years now, and for once it finally blew up in his face. You know he crossed the line, when Beyonce made it clear she was against how he acted, and I do give her credit for it, and thought it was a classy move on her part. But what really convinced me he crossed the line, was when he Obama called him a jackass.

I think the picture of Kayne West (a black man of 32) snatching the microphone from Taylor Swift (a white girl of 18) is an apt description of the direction race relations are going in the U.S.

She should have hit him over the head with her award.

I just wonder if this was “staged”, like the “Super bowl, accident”.

“as a side note, the camera footage showed beyonce’s reaction as kanye was delivering his rant. she was smiling as if she thought it was somehow harmless at least and funny at worst. when she saw how negatively the crowd reacted, she rushed to taylor’s side later on in the show. my guess is that she made the decision to do this on the basis of how it would affect her own career…knowing full well the audience was watching her reaction. she had lost the award to taylor anyway and has already establihed herself as a star. afterall, what did she have to loose and had everything to gain by her support of taylor. maybe i’m wrong, but just a thought in light of more growing black solidarity every day. “

White minds think alike. Many people rushed to say Beyonce acted graciously but her smiles said “Kanye are you tripping?!? Brotha I luv u but my career comes first!”

All of these blacks acting out have me wondering if all of the well behaved blacks are constantly conflicted. They have to act white and deny their natural black “essence.” That can’t be good for their health.

Mulatto artist Beyoncé did have the decency to invite back White artist Swift after Black artist West’s shameful act, something she deserves some credit for. However, I suspect that the main reason she did it was because unlike West she was smart and sober enough to realize that even White Hollywood liberals were disgusted by West’s behavior, meaning that she probably did it to score points, not because it was the right thing to do.

Miss Swift got a hard lesson that I hope serves her well. I hope she quickly understands that this is how most black males act when the guard is down( drinking in this case).
Beyonce did show grace and I am sure she was mortified being thrust into this ugly incident.
But, that does not nullify that it has gotten to the point where a black thug can walk out onstage and assault a pretty white woman with no ill effect. I assure you Wests’ street cred went way up with the brothers.
I hope all white teenage girls learned a good hard lesson..your black male friend at school hates you and it will show when he has reason to be jealous.
When you cheer him on the football field he hates you when you score high on the SAT.And will say you got into the elite school because you were white.
MISS Swift he hates you because you are White, intelligient,pretty and successful.

Funny,I never, never act in this manner when I am drinking. (And I can drink a lot.)

TNB!!

I am disgusted that he had the selfishness to assault Miss Swift in her moment, but I am not surprised. The best thing for her and all other whites is to avoid dealing with these punks and lowlifes. MTV is a white sellout-pro black thug organization, and as such, something I avoid at all costs.

Deep down I think Wests resentment stems from Swift’s talent, beauty and whiteness. He felt the need to tear that down as best his drunken impotent self could. Beyonce at least demonstrated some class by trying to patch this rift up. Good for her and Taylor Swift.

This comes from years and years of being allowed to do whatever the hell they want and not having to take any responsibility for their actions. If the roles were reversed and Swift was black and West was white, how long do you think it would have taken for security to come out on stage and escort him off and he would be forever banned from the awards show.

As a matter of fact, these award shows are totally useless and just another venue for a bunch of spoiled, singers and celebrities to pat each other on the back about how great they are and worship the idol.

I agree with those who say that this is a result of years of blacks being allowed to do whatever they want. One example I witnessed recently: Some white friends, at a party full of whites, mentioned that they’d gone to Disneyland recently and a group of “kids” had brazenly pushed ahead of them in line for one of the rides. All the people at the party were indignant. “You should have reported those kids!” “Disneyland kicks people out of the park for line-jumping!” etc. Then the victims said, “Well…they were black.” Silence for a few seconds. Then the people at the party started saying, “Oh. That’s different. Well…you did the right thing.” “Yeah, they might’ve been gang members and had other friends there. If you’d reported them, they might’ve waited for you when you got off the ride and beat you up.” So in other words, if the “kids” jumping in line had been white, well, then, hold them responsible and punish them! If they’re black, then better not make waves. Better to just shup up and turn the other cheek. Yes, cutting in line is a minor incident, but I think similar things, minor and major, happen all the time, while cowed whites tremble in their boots and do nothing. Every time it happens, blacks are emboldened.

Kanye West is no worse than Kid Rock, Courtney Love and numerous other Whitye entertainers.

Granted, they are crass tacky and trashy, but even though they have big mouths, especially Love, even she, has never been known for disrupting award shows and media event, the way West does. Emotionally he comes across as still being 12 years old.

I just wonder if this was “staged”, like the “Super bowl, accident”.

Absolutely not! If that were the case, than Taylor Swift would have been more deserving of an Academy award for best actress. You could clearly see the awkwardness she felt, she was shocked and humiliated, and stood there like a deer in the headlights, after he indulged in his childish rant. She literally did not know what to say, or do after that. But I admired her poise none the less, since she kept her emotions in check rather admirably for a teenager who is new to the lightlight.

Whether or not it was to save face, I can’t say? I do know Beyonce’s father, who is also her manager, was said to have approached Taylor backstage to offer his apologies as soon as the incident took place. Beyonce’s husband is Jay Z, and probably signs Kanye’s paychecks. So, it could look like pandering, if they didn’t distance themselves from him at that moment. Either way, it was a wise move on Beyonce’s part to handle the situation as she did.

I noticed Kanye bounced onstage the instant she announced she was a country singer, and wondered if he also disliked her for that as well. In his eyes, only hip-hop and rap(by black artists of course)are relevant. He would probably be shocked how many young white people admire Taylor Swift, which I discovered only recently, on Youtube, there were countless young people on there complaining about how shabbily she was treated, and giving her the thumbs up for her victory. Surprisingly, this was true of many non-whites as well, including some blacks.

I can say the same. I have a very low opinion of blacks, but I learned about them the hard way. Don’t blame it on my parents, my schools, my teachers, my neighborhood. That’s nonsense; they had nothing to do with it. Blame it on blacks themselves.

“Those of you giving kind words for Bouncy or whatever her name is, the mulatto, should note that she is grinning in the audience while that guy West is ranting on stage. Obviously both of them hate White people.”
———-

Yes, I recall that “Bouncy” was just recently in a movie (which was covered here) that portrayed her as a model of virtue, attacked by a crazed white woman who was a sex-mad psychopath out to steal her husband and wreck her home. Of course, Bouncy was forced to kill her in the end, in self-defense.

Yes, this was indeed a kind of rape. Rape is abuse,assault, and what Kayne did was publicly abuse this young woman.

Can you imagine the reaction if a WHITE person dared do this to a black or any other race for that matter?? Can you imagine the field day Jesse, Al and Oprah, as well as BHO would have with that??
Get used to it. This is how whites will be treated in a non-white ruled world.

Fox news has reported an attack on a WHite HIgh School student on a school bus by a gang of blacks. You see the kids bloodied face after haviong been struck numerous times and also choked.
The Foxs reproter covering the case actually identified the attackers as “African- American and the victim as White. This took place somewhere in Illinois.
A police official was interviewed and stated that this all begins in the home and parent have to start teaching kids “manners”. Unbelievable!!!!!!!
This situation is quickly coming to a head.

To those correctly identifying Kanye’s behavior and general mentality as being on the level of a 12 year old, let me remind you that in 2006 TIME Magazine did a drooling cover story on West which called him “The Smartest Man in Pop Music.”

Yes folks, TIME Magazine — NOT “Vibe”, “Ebony”, “The Final Call” or some other black publication.

Thank you. Exactly! This extends from rowdy disruptive behavior in the classroom, then into the workplace, and even onto the stage in front of national television. They are impulsive, irrepressible, wild and uncontrollable. And it’s all tolerated as… “well, you know, that’s just the way they are”.

It should NOT be tolerated. And once upon a time it wasn’t. But they are given a free pass, since no one wants to be accused of “racism”. And THEY KNOW THIS! They know they can get away with it, and so they do.

D. Andrews pull up the main article, it is from MTV’s site and has the video clip.

Taylor is cute, but after watching the video that won her that award, well I have to say Beyonce’s “put a ring on it video” was better, the choreography was quite good (Shane Mercado version was better still).

Taylor is cute, but after watching the video that won her that award, well I have to say Beyonce’s “put a ring on it video” was better, the choreography was quite good (Shane Mercado version was better still).

Personally, I have never been a fan of Beyonce’s music, either as a solo singer, or when she was with Destiny’s child. Quite simply, her voice does not appeal to me. Having recently listened to Taylor’s music, I will admit, I was somewhat underwhelmed by her voice, as well. But her videos, and the lyrics to her music are surprisingly innocent and sweet for this day and age, which is refreshing after years of Britney, and the like. What impressed me most though, is that she writes her own music. For a young girl, not even out of her teens, to have come this far so young, truly is impressive. I will say one thing for both her and Beyonce, and that is they both conducted themselves with class the other night, unlike Kanye.

All I’ve noticed about MTV is that when it started out, almost 95% of the bands presented in videos were white. And were so for about 4-1/2 to 5 years. Then the complaints started. Within 24 months, the “network” flipped to the point that the majority of videos presented were from black performers. Rap music dropped 35% in sales in ‘07, another 30% in ‘08 and has been plummeting again this year. Yet MTV still presents rap as its main music staple.

I mention all this because of the stories coming out now from former MTV employees etc. who allege the ‘complaints’ about MTV being “too white” were false flags, coming from forces within Viacom itself. Apparently the people behind the scenes felt they had captured the white audience, and it was now time to work on them, set them straight, as they had with the parents of the kids years earlier, using Archie Bunker and George Jefferson. Seems plausible, given the fact that a no-talent like Kanye West still receives air-time. This when people also allege some sales figures are manipulated to make it appear as if certain artists are more popular than they are, doling out money simply to keep a useful idiot front and center, in the hopes that whites and blacks will emulate him for different reasons. They hope the whites will emulate his ignorance and lack of respect for white culture, and they hope the blacks will emulate his disdain for whites, period. Keep in mind the complaints about MTV being “too white” in the 80’s came at a time when less then 15% of blacks and hispanics had cable TV.

In the end, all Kanye does is reinforce many of those “negative”, supposedly false stereotypes that have “dogged” the poor blacks for who knows how long. None of these stereotypes are actually based in fact, are they? That’s as silly as believing MTV would create false controversy in order to adjust their programming in an attempt to brainwash white youth, isn’t it?

I like taking action, not just complaining
So I bought her CD.
I suggest you do too.

C’mon Sonya you can’t compare a rap video filled with “boom, boom, boom” to a country music one. Most Whites don’t listen to Beyonce’s brand of music and blacks don’t listen to country. As far as Ms. Swift being “cute”, that was a term coined by a black poster on here a few weeks ago meant as an insult. Taylor Swift is a naturally beautiful woman.

Anybody think he would have done that if that White lady had been a six foot five, 260 pound White man? Typical black bully and coward.

To Sonya,

This isn’t about how good a video is or isn’t. It is about how one person treated another. It is about civility.

Anybody think he would have done that if that White lady had been a six foot five, 260 pound White man? Typical black bully and coward.

Or even tougher female like Pink. She had to be held back, because she wanted to throttle him, after witnessing his treatment of Taylor

West is a typical bully and black thug, the world is full of them. Do you think that punk would do that to you? Bring it on thug stop beating up white women and white presidents who can’t fight back.

To show you how phony and screwed up our values are and how far we will go to elevate the black thugs and punks around us, the next night he was on Leno.

This thug world is the world you have created for you children and you send into war zones called schools with these sorts of people. Isn’t diversity wonderful?

“Maybe Hussein will come to his rescue like he did with the Harvard prof vs the cop.”

Well, at least we know this much isn’t true. It seems that Obama has called Kanye a “jackass” for doing what he did. Credit where it’s due to Obama, I guess.

A black person coined the term “cute” on here? Wow…I have used that term my whole life and now it gets coined?

Most of the posters here obviously have no clue about that video. It was parodied by tons of people, Justin Timberlake did a version on SNL. It is quite famous and it is not rap, more like pop, the theme being ladies get the ring.

“It seems that Obama has called Kanye a “jackass” for doing what he did. Credit where it’s due to Obama, I guess.”
____

Credit is due? Not quite.

He didn’t say it publicly, and it wasn’t said for the record (as it was for Gates). It was spoken in a private conversation, and overheard accidentally. Nor is anyone talking about or confirming or denying.

“To show you how phony and screwed up our values are and how far we will go to elevate the black thugs and punks around us, the next night he was on Leno.”

He got tons of media coverage out of this, he got showcased on the Leno show, and now a lot of people have heard of him who never did before.

As they say, “there is no such thing as bad publicity.”

as a side note, the camera footage showed beyonce’s reaction as kanye was delivering his rant. she was smiling as if she thought it was somehow harmless at least and funny at worst. when she saw how negatively the crowd reacted, she rushed to taylor’s side later on in the show. my guess is that she made the decision to do this on the basis of how it would affect her own career…

Beyonce was smiling - but it seemed more a smile of bemusement, she may have initially thought that Mr West’s stage rush was part of some pre-arranged act, as one could quite naturally do, and played along to humour it. It did not seem she approved of West’s actions at all. The black guy sitting behind her was clearly unimpressed.

Kanye is obviously a spoilt celebrity - but to be truthful his behaviour while appalling, was no worse than that of many white celebrities, rock stars, movie stars etc, who throw phones at hotel staff, assault reporters, trash hotel rooms, and trip out on cocaine.

It is the spoilt celebrity culture, and those who buy into it, who are to blame. If you let your kids watch MTV, or become infatuated with celebrity culture, you are partly to blame yourself. Get them into Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms - great men, and true cultural heroes. Get them into chess, and science, and great literature. Also sports (but not celebrity athletes).

Which was, paradoxically, the kind of thing the Soviet Union use to assiduously cultivate - they promoted the best of Western civilization - and lauded chess grandmasters, concert pianists, and scientists, while our contribution was Michael Jackson, and rap and hip hop. I sometimes wonder who historians, in the final analysis, will declare the true victor of the Cold War.

“Beyonce was smiling - but it seemed more a smile of bemusement”

That was one of the most pained smiles of “bemusement” I’ve ever seen! Watch the video again, in slow motion. As soon as West utters her name she mouths the words “Oh my god!” and then reflexively sinks her head somewhat into her shoulders, as if she were trying to hide. She knew what had just happened and was clearly mortified.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1z8gCZ7zpsQ&feature=related

The “smile” she had on her face is not uncommon on people (especially women) who find themselves in clearly embarrassing situations, and don’t know what to say or do. I’ve seen it happen numerous times. Unlike that drunken fool West, she had enough brains to be embarrassed.

“The black guy sitting behind her was clearly unimpressed.”

True. Did you notice he mouthed the word “Wow” as if thinking to himself: “What an idiot!” Not all blacks are crass boors, just enough.

This morning I was walking by a black guy who was on his mobile phone. I clearly heard him say, “Dude! Just because he says it’s a white man’s sport doesn’t mean he’s racist!” I think some of the blacks are as sick and tired of racist baiting as the rest of us are. Kanye West was disgusting that night and opened the eyes of a lot of Taylor Swift fans. I think Beyonce may well have been mortified by his behavior, and not condoning it, like the guy on his phone today.

This blog, not only confirms Kanyes ignorance but half of society as well. You cannot judge a race based on one individual. Those of you basing Kanyes statement on the whole black race are just as ignorant as he is. From a black woman….
