Kanye West is an Asshole

Kanye West is a jackass. If I ever get the chance, I’m swinging on him. Because he is a man in need of a some respect training, and the best way for a man to be reminded of the need to be respectful is a the hands of a serious ass-kicking.

In case you missed it, during the recent MTV Music Awards, 17-year old country singer Taylor Swift won the award for Best Video by a Female.

Kanye should try this at the CMA Music Awards...

Kanye should try this at the CMA Music Awards...

When the young girlf got up to give her acceptance speech, the thug Kanye West stormed the stage, ripped the microphone from her hands, and whined that fellow-black artist Beyonce should have won for having the BEST VIDEO IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE, or some such bullshit.

What a complete ghetto-thug. If there had been any men in the audience, they should have followed Kanye up onto the stage, ripped the microphone out of his hands, handed it back to Taylor, and then stomped a hole in Kanye’s face.

Now imagine for a moment if Taylor had been a young black girl, and Toby Kieth had done the same thing to her. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson would still be grievance-mongering and race-hustling in front of an MSNBC camera crew this morning.

If Kanye had any balls at all, he’d try this stunt at a Country Music Awards show in Nashville. A black thug, ripping the microphone from a tiny white girl? Then disrespecting her like that? He wouldn’t have made it off the stage.

Obama Reacts

Well, I finally agree with something that President Obama said.

When asked about Kanye West’s actions at the recent MTV Music Awards, Obama called Kanye an asshole:

The Tweet that set the blogosphere all a twitter...

The Tweet that set the blogosphere all a twitter...

ABC later apologized for this, as it was supposed to be “off-the-record.” Sigh — if Obama had any balls, he’d let the comment stand. Because it’s the truth…Kanye West is an asshole.

    • West isn’t a ghetto thug, that fool is a clown. He’s a whiney little bitch, someone should do that shit to him next time he wins an award, hopefully that will be never again…

      • First they conspired to kill M.J. now this. People irk me talking about this as a racial issue. Some white people are just still so narcissistic and also scared to death that blacks really ARE equal or even perhaps just as intelligent or more than some of them. Why can’t we all just be God’s children? Are all of your children exactly the same or do they all look exactly the same. I don’t think so. So why should God’s children be any different? I am sick of the racist comments. Kanye effed up, he apologized and the reason he is not forgiven by now is……? I think I will just keep that last thought to myself and let you readers figure it out. Stop racism!!!

        • I agree most white people are racist assholes and i can say that cuase im a white person but i garentee i grew up in a worse place than most people in this country, and yes kanye screwed the pouch on this but its not like its the first time and as much as he can be justified for be speculative for other peoples reasons it gives him no right to imply that all white people are racist and if i ever meet him i will totally steal that little bitch in the mouth and teach him that no ghetto in the US is as bad a cairo

        • I’m black also .. but i share the same feeling… Kanye is an asswhole… and Beyonce is a whore…. she just thinks she better than them all .. but what kind of man would marry a woman who can show of all her business to the world to explore… only a cunt of a man would do that. Taylor you are a darling and continue to sing your country music.. its working for you!!! Dont follow in the footsteps of Beyonce and Kanye and sell your soul to the devil just to make a few dollars… these bitches going straight to HELL……

    • Do ya think that was a racist act ? I do !! You can`t get any more racist than that . If a white man did that they would have him in jail . Kanye is 100% BLUEGUM!!

      • Word, black folks or others of color cannot be racist. The term denotes operating from a place of power and priviledge clearly we do not. Perhaps a more appropriate term would be preferential; biased etc.

        Posted by anonymous | September 19, 2009, 11:28 am
        • word? word? are you a f-ing idiot? Let’s get something straight here, when someone “of color” like Kanye behaves in this manner and is given a pass because no one wants potentially raise a racial element, He is then acting from a position of power. This is what thugocracy is all about. When people use thier ethnicity as an excuse to intimidate, insult or asualt, it IS racisim. OH and while we are at it, why cant rappers smile? If they are such badasses why do they need bodygaurds?

        • As defined•racism – discriminatory or abusive behavior towards members of another race. To paraphase; He don’t like white people. But I don’t like him either not because he’s black but because he’s a drunk, cry baby and a racist.

    • Wow, you really are a moron. You’re not even sure about what happened and you’re claiming that you would “swing” on Kanye because he’s a “ghetto-thug”… Kanye could buy and sell you and we both know that you wouldn’t have the balls to “swing” on anyone. Tweenie Swift DIDN’T deserve that award and Kanye is a passionate man. I agree that his timing wasn’t right but he was just saying what everyone at home said at the same time…. “ARE YOU SERIOUS? TAYLOR SWIFT???”

      • The real issue here is the arrogance and total lack of respect he showed for another person…Black, white , orange or purple…it doesn’t matter…he obviously has a problem and whether or not he agreed with the choice of winner or not…she was the winner…he had no right to take her time in the spotlight…he is not Beyonce’…he had no right to speak in her name and I am so very glad they had the guts to ask him to leave.One article I read said that when the audience boo-ed him he turned around and flipped them off. Come on these are people that make millions of dollars and this is the kind of behaviors we support. There’s always a winner and a loser and we do not always agree but that’s part of the competition…he made me so mad…and I do agree that if the tables had been turned this would be a bigger issue. I hope that people start to think about who they support in the music industry because someone who behaves like that is suffering from a God complex and in my book doesn’t deserve to be supported. Stop buying his CD’s and going to his shows and see how BIG he is then!

        • I totally agree with your comment. Who keeps this black thing going anyway. Who really cares about color but colored. Bottom line is disrespect is disrespect and it is allowed to continue. My question is why? Because his feelings might get hurt, who cares. I am soooooo tired of everyone in this country being a bunch of bawl baby pissy pants. We are mostly all raised learning the difference between right and wrong and I don’t think that it is written anywhere that due to your color, sex, religion or anything else do you get a free pass. Oh by the way I am white and I just love President Obama and I agree with him too!

    • I think there is an obvious concensus by just about everybody that Kanye West did a very arrogant, stupid thing. This was not a black or white issue because as a black man, we were pissed off too, which was apparent from the presidents comment and Beyonce’s willingness to clean up his mess. So, please keep the racist comments at bay. GROW UP!

      • WHO NEEDS TO GROW UP IS MR. WEST.WE ALL KNOW THAT IF IT WAS A WHITE MALE ARTIST TO HAVE DONE SO TO BEYONCE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ON EVERY CHANNEL CLAIMING THAT IT WAS A RACIST ACT. LETS JUST BE TRUTHFUL,YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT SO ALSO. IM A YOUNG BLACK WOMAN AND IM ALL FOR MY FELLOW RACE BUT THAT WAS OUT OF LINE WHAT HE DID.MAYBE THE PEOPLE VOTING PICKED HER BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF SEEING THE SAME OLD HALF NAKED A** SHAKERS THAT LOOK LIKE STRIPPERS ON STAGE AND IN THE VIDEOS.VIDEOS USE TO GIVE PEOPLE A VISUAL VIEW OF WHAT THE SONG WAS EXPRESSING.NOW THEY ARE NOT WORTH WATCHING OR MAKING.IM NOT SAYING THAT BECAUSE IM FAT OR UGLY IM NOT CLOSE TO BEING NIETHER 1 FOR SURE FROM OTHER PEOPLES OPINIONS.I JUST KNOW WHAT CLASS IS ALL ABOUT. OUR YOUNG BLACK WOMEN NEED TO GET IT TOGETHER AND FIND OUT WHAT A “REAL DIVA” IS. DIVAS ARE RESPECTFUL OF THEIR SELVES AND DONT SELL SEX TO TRY TO SELL A RECORD. THEY HAVE REAL TALENT.

    • Kanye West is a little beeyotch. And you are 100% correct that had a white man interrupted the acceptance speech of a BLACK artist, the NAACP, The Rainbow Coalition and Al Sharpton would have had a multi media whining extravaganza demanding an apology for the interruption,slavery, “Yet another example of the blue eyed devils keeping the black (Oh, pardon me for living “African American” population “down”. I for one am grateful that we have a black president. Now maybe we will no longer have to listen to blacks, excuse me, African Americans snivel about this conspiracy to “keep them down”…and let me make myself clear.My boss is black, is one of the finest human beings I have ever had the pleasure of sharing real reciprocal friendship with and feels basically the same about this whole Con Yay West debacle. The ONLY person that is keeping ANYBODY down is themselves. Take responsibility for your own actions, abandon racial conspiracy theories and if someone is winning an award GIVE THEM THEIR MOMENT IN THE SUN…DON’T PISS ON THEIR CHEERIOS. Pull your fat head out of your pampered ass and think about this for a minute: You are not even a musician…much like your average grade schooler you make up rhymes. I’m sure your dead mother would be mortified by your behavior.Grow up.

    • I belive that Kenya is a Racist individual, if this was a black person being awarded, he never would have acted this way. Please spare me the excuse, of his mothers death, for his actions,he should be held accountable, fined, banned from these awards , anything. But , lets not waste any more time giving any more attention, he probally enjoys it. He sucks anyway.

    • First of all.. you aound a bit racist yourself fool. What happen has nothing to do with black or white…it was plain disrespectful period. You are just as bad as the Al Sharpton’s & Jessie Jackson’s of the world by the tne of your comment. And don;t bring Toby Keith into the drama, as I’m sure he has class and wouldn’t do such a thing…and Taylor Swift is not a poor little girl…she is a class act who obviously has moved on and will continue to grow and do well. Get a life!!! She’s over it and everyone else should be too.

What is so hard to comprehend? “AMERICA” decided that sweet, little teenager, Taylor, HAS A BETTER SONG AND VIDEO than…bounceout. Not sure what was so confusing for him…guess he needs to do his homework…and get over it. Tayor, has worked her ass off for years, done her own thing, AND done it well. GIVE THIS girl the credit she is RIGHTFULLY due.

      She WON …. get over it. She deserved it …from day one. Catch up with the rest of reality…

  3. He really truly is an asshole. I felt so bad for Taylor. She truly didn’t deserve that. She was so blown away when they called her name and for him to take that away from her is disgraceful (I’m sure his mother would have been horrified also). I’m not a Beyonce fan at all but I thought what she did later in the show was very classy.

  4. I am SO glad he did that! With all his OTHER shit he has pulled, THIS cannot be ignored! Finally he has to be seen for what he really is. There is NO dodging it this time. I have always hated this guy. Not because he is black mind you, but because he is a Talentless rip off who had ONE decent song he made using a Ray Charles hit. It was Jamie Foxs’ clout that got it played to begin with. Ever since he got a grammy for THAT song it went straight to his little mind. He’s been a cock sucker ever since. I love that Pink called him what he is, “a Piece of Shit, and you can quote me” she said after the awards show.
    I want this guy to never make another dime nor ever be allowed into another awards show. He and Courtney Love can tour together “The Piece of Shit Tour” maybe 5 people will show up. 2 of them being an usher and a grounds sweeper. Go fuck yourself Kanye and anyone who buys your shit!

    • Kanye is not going to go broke…. okay. I know that alot of people are angry with him but the whole World is not mad at him. Kanye is going to continue yo sell records and break records with his music. Contrary to what you feel, He is a very talented young man. I don’t belive that he could be as successful as he is if he wasn’t. Think about it seriously, I don’t know how much money you make a year in comparison to Kanye. More than likley not as much as Kanye. You see why now he is intellengent he knows how to make money., and even though you don’t like him , you have heard of him..bet he doesn’t know who you are! I can tell you this, this will all be forgotten. I don’t not believe that Kanye’s fans are going to just stop loving his music because he had too much to drink and offended Taylor Swift. Most people who are his fans don’t even know Taylor Swift.I mean Talor Swift is okay and all but I am not turning my back on Kanye for her. I mean there will be a few that will but They’ll get over it!

I’m still in awe of Taylor and I’m not a country song-kinda girl…I dont know…it’s beyond words. I Taylor’s talented, it is God given, and it is way before her time. No surprise though, she deserves the greatness she portrays. That girl was a class act! then, and to this moment.

      Pink called him out…she doesn’t say anything about anyone that doesn’t have it coming. PINK, oh yeah, she is real. You got a question?

  12. Why does this have to be a race issue? I didn’t hear the actual audio of the event, but did Kanye use any word referring to Beyonce’s race…..I’m just asking? If he did, then I can understand how race played a part. If he didn’t then why bring it up. I WAS a big Kanye fan I’ll admit, but this guy does have some issues.

  14. What Kanye West did to Taylor Swift was ignorant, but why do you folks have to use the incident to purge your racial hatred. The Great Divide, and it will never go away in this country. What he did was provide whites with an opportunity to show the hatred they will always have for blacks.

    The report was that Obama called West a “jackass”, not asshole! he needs a filter. Whites thought it was okay for him to call West an “asshole”, but was very upset about the word “stupidly” concerning the white officers in Cambridge, MA. After all West is just a ghetto “nigger! And I for one, don’t think you, Pink, or Kelly Clarkson would walk up and kick his ass.The internet is different from face to face, racist pigs, all of you. This is no way to handle matters, and I agree this kid absolutely has to clean up his act.

It is in my “Opinion” that the reason that the race card keeps being played is due the every ones disgust over the way every time something happens to some Black person in the media, the Black Loud mouths like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have to jump in on it and scream foul. It’s not so much that people are being prejudice, but you have to admit it’s true and it’s tired. And “ONLY” THEY do it! …Only THEY keep this fire going. Every time they jump in front of a camera THEY, them, those guys keep this racist shit going so you can’t jump Bobbies shit or, anyone elses shit for that matter, because if THEY wouldn’t do it..The “Race Card” term wouldn’t really exist now would it?
    Kanye’, as a Human Being and an ADULT, is an ASS! Had he done that to my daughter yes, I would have rushed the stage and beat him to a fine powder.
    Now, I have to agree, as does any one THINKING individual, that HAD this been the other way around, this would have been a catastrophe beyond belief.
    You can’t make posts here and insult, challenge or change someone else’s feelings on their points of view.
    The truth is that until The Black Community Leaders can tell people like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson “Hey, you’re making us look bad, tone it down, eh?” not until THEN will you stop seeing people point that out and bring that up. Because every time it happens,and every time someone makes a “Pull the racist Card” comment, everyone out there thinks the same thing…”Here we fucking go AGAIN!”

    One more thing, Fuck Kanye, the NOT so decent Adult human, human being!

    • Okay, so you want black people to take the lick and shut up when an injustice happens…..seriously? It baffles me that white people just don’t seem to get it. Black people are not going to take the lick and be quiet! In a case like this white people, stop the injustices!!!!!! then you won’t have to worry about black people sticking up for themselves. Black people are NOT embrassed by Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. We appreciate them. We want them to scream harder and louder. We embrace our loudness. We all know that they are offensive and we love it!!!! This comment is not based on anything to do with Kanye and Taylor, but since you found a way to try and insult black people, “Here we go again……..” but now do you see why.

  17. Here is a thought for all you brainiacs. I watched this several times and the only thought that comes into my head is ‘bullshit’. I think the whole thing is just staged hollywood nonsense. They just happened to have a camera three feet from ‘beyonce’ to see her ‘reaction’ as this spur of the moment event happens? yeah, right. These idjits live and die by the publicity they generate. It is their schtick.

    • There are cameras galore at these award shows, and no matter who wins, the camera is instantly on them. These professional camera operators are amazing, they are a huge part of what makes our entertainment cohesive, and I don’t think it takes a conspiracy for them to get a quick shot, but I appreciate your take on it.

  18. WTF!! Of course this is a race issue with Kanye!! The same guy that said “Bush hates black people”!! And that comment was brushed under the rug too. It would be a whole different story if a white person said “Obama hates white peopel”. How come it is OK for the black community to be racist but the oh my god, if there is a racist white person out there, damn them to hell!!

  19. as participants in a world in change or at least movement, we all need to make sure we are not being played by any side. we need to gather our own facts, sit and think about how it all shakes down, and then act on our OWN genuine and individualistic conclusion. without the recognition of being played or manipulated, we will be compelled to revisit the same problems and issues without end.
    Kanye had/has a chance to dispel all this B.S. by standing up and taking the heat as an individual; unfortunately he does not seem to have the character or class to do that “right thing.”
    BE YOUR OWN DECIDER ! ! !

  31. Wow, America needs great help. I agree, Kanye is an idiot. Let’s leave it at that. Can’t we see beyond skin color? I, myself I am black woman,and I can’t stand rap music and have love for all human kind. Music is taste and choice. Kanye is a fool and imbecile. How about that. We don’t need to go there. Judge the person by their actions and by their character. Can we try that please. We are all God Children. So all racist black or white now have some thing to complain about. MOve on. People are just people. Period. We all need to ask God to purify our soul and give us more tolerance,a nd start seing each other as one entity.

    Posted by Bella | September 19, 2009, 10:20 am
    • if you ask us to forget the skin color, then why did you mention that you are a black woman?there is, & probably always will be a race issue with most people. we are all different,every man,woman,& child & will find fault in another because of their difference down to a freckle, or mole. the line should be drawn with sharing your ignorance with others. KANYE WEST did this! BEYONCE on the other hand is truly a class act for sharing her moment on the stage to share with TAYLOR!

  33. Lol I hate when people come on the internet and say what they would of would have done.

    If Kanye can’t defend himself, trust me he has enough money to get someone to take care of his dirty work.

    I feel sorry for Taylor Swift. But this situation happen so cheer up, forgive, and forget.

    Besides I could throw alot of disrepectful things out there, that happens daily to people of my kind. But who care because Im not a celebrity.

    But i tell you one thing if you bark at the wrong dog it might to bite you, no matter the consequences.

    And for Mr.Obama that was real weak of you dude. “It’s not suppose to be on record, cut the president some slack.” If you meant it, be man enough to express without the worry of who hears it.

    “People talking shit but when the shit hits the fan, everything I’m not make me everything I am.” Kanye West. Big ups homie to you and Chris Brown.

  34. What a RACIST article! I guess every black person that does something wrong is a “ghetto thug”, huh? Maybe this is a race issue on Kanye’s part, but do you fools have to stoop to his low level?

    Putting up this dumb-a** racist article shows that you are just as stupid as Kanye. And anyone who agrees with this RACIST article is a low-life JACKASS!! Yes, West was wrong and he has some race issues. But why don’t you idiots try to be more intelligent than this. Just because someone else acts racist mean you have to act racist also?

    If so, then follow the guy who jumps off a cliff, too, because this world don’t need your STUPID A**!!!

  50. I shouldn’t be about race, it should be about class—who has it and who doesn’t. This is not the first time that Kanye has opened his ignorant mouth, and it probably won’t be the last. He has been the loser in so many award shows lately, and figured this was his only shot at some attention that he seems to so desperately need. It is a shame that he has to steal someone else’s limelight cause he doesn’t have his own lately. You’re right, though…Taylor and Beyonce showed class.

  52. Taylor Swift is going to get a lot of publicity for this but she was quite famous to begin with… kanye did not need to do this to get her the attention. The point is he embarrassed her on national television and you could see she felt surprised and foolish. Although in reality he looked like the fool. It may not have been purposely racial but if a white man did that to 17 yr. black he, without a doubt, would be called a racist.

    Posted by Adrienne | September 19, 2009, 5:30 pm
  53. Wow really? I am a big Taylor fan and I was upset that he stole her moment, because it was infact her first award. I think that he needs to learn some manners and respect other people, and that it was America who voted so who cares who he thinks should have won.

    As for this turning into a racist issue? REALLY come on. Stop with all the clan talk and just get a life. If he was in fact doing it because she is white then shame on him. Actually shame on him anyways.

    Taylor Swift won. She was the one who was hurt by all this. She has the mic torn out of her hands. And she forgave him, she has moved on. I suggest that you all do the same. Drop it and stop giving Kanye all this attention.

    GO TAYLOR- Your video rocked and you deserved the award whether you are a country singer or not.

    Posted by tommygun | September 19, 2009, 6:31 pm
  55. This is the best thing that could have happened to T Swift. As an up and coming country artist, she gained 1000% more exposure from the slight than if she’d simply given her canned remarks.
    As to Kanye, he’s suffered incredible shame. And to have a standing president call him a jackass? I would like to think our leader could refrain from such common derogation. It would be one thing to call the remark asinine, but to call HIM a jackass? Sucks a little.

  57. Kanye West showed that he is nothing but a CLASSLESS BASTARD!
    Whether Taylor Swift deserved the award or not is immaterial. She won
    the award fair & square & this pile
    of garbage had no business &, also
    no right to do what he did.

    Taylor handled this insanely well.
    While I’m not a major fan of hers,
    she showed a maturity that I doubt
    Kanye will ever have in his lifetime.

    I have heard her songs only a few times, but with the display of grace & dignity that she showed, I
    think that I will give her music more of a chance.

    Kudos to Beyonce. She showed the world that she does indee have class, dignity, & respect. We need
    more people like her in this world.

But for you robbie who the fuck ever to keep calling him a black thug WTF. 1st of all being thug or being black has nothing to do with the simple fact that kanye west is a dumb ass. you sound like a racist prick who also need a good ass kciking for the way that your speaking. now i do agree if he tried that at the CMA’s there would of been some problems. and if say some white man did that to a young black girl im sure jesse and al would have had lots to say. still doesnt take away from the fact that your comments are completed racist. Your an asshole and jackass and dumb fuck and any other name you can think of. as much as i would love for kanye to get his ass beat. i would prolly love it even more if some1 would find you and bash your fucking skull in. Black people if you agree with what this idiot is saying about him being a black thug then shoot yourself in the fuckin throat. once again im not going to deny that at some parts you are completely right. being that taylor swift is one of my favorite artist and ive disliked kanye befor this mess. but still your a fucking asshole.
