So, I read an article about the Grammy debacle with Kanye West & Beck... and normally, I hate the guy. I think he's pompous and arrogant, and a complete ass.
But at the end of the article, West said "I feel that racism is a distraction to humanity. We are one race. We are the human race, period."
WTF. This man, who normally makes a complete arse of himself, said something that I completely agree with. He said something that most politicians and protestors can't comprehend.
Have I gone crazy? Did Kanye... really say something MEANINGFUL and INTELLIGENT?

Wait wait wait wtf is a Kanye west?
-
...oh my god [spoiler]CALL CORPORATE [/spoiler]
-
Maybe but then you remember he called his kid North West and married a Kardashian!
-
Kanye's the type of guy that sends dick pics to himself.
-
What Kanye doesn't get is that there is more to music than Beyonce's fine ass gyrating all over the place... god I love that woman...
-
I've said this before too, since you're having a hard time agree with kanyee, agree with me instead.
-
He stated the obvious and that makes him a quotable icon... He probably heard it from someone else 5 minutes prior to that.
-
Well then, it seems he did pull his inflated head out of his arse, and then promptly returned it.

-
While I agree that racism is terrible, he's only using that as an excuse to make everyone think he deserves to win the award that Beck won fair and square.
-
Idk i sorta think he acts like an ass just for the attention
-
Kanye with his true love. Its so beautiful!
-
Kanye isn't an idiot. Sure he'll make an ass out of himself in the media, but that's just Kanye being Kanye. Listen to his music and you'll get the other side of him. He's creative and knows his shit when it comes to music. Also, a lot of what he says does have meaning behind it but it gets lost in how he acts. Beck didn't deserve the award, but neither did Beyonce.

Hey OP, imma let you finish but.... [spoiler]you're a fgt.[/spoiler]

He's extremely cocky, selfish, rude, and arrogant, but he compensates for it by being very smart. He is just smart in a different kind of way.
-
-blam!- Kanye. He's a piece of shit.
-
Lol @ how people thinking Kanye's dumb because he's outspoken.

Edited by Bloom Unknown : 2/12/2015 2:33:24 AMHe's right on one level, and wrong on another level. It is a very unfortunate "distraction" if "distraction" means that it is preventing us from moving forward. But there was and is real racism out there that makes for a bunch of consequences. People are actually living with these consequences every day, black and white, and it's difficult to just "move past it". I really wish we all could, but that doesn't mean much. If Kanye has gotten over the justified resentment many black people feel, that is awesome for him, but even his stance doesn't mean too much I suppose in the bigger picture.

Hes just an asshole. To seriously say beck someone plays 14 instruments and writes his own songs. Should gjve his awars to a singer who has 4 writers write her song? The music industry is in dismay. [spoiler]side not. How the hell did tenacious D win best metal performance when they arent a real metal band?[/spoiler]
-
"Do you like fish sticks?" "Yes." "You're a gay fish." "NO, I AM NOT A GAY FISH!"
-
No. He said it because the public relations agent he pays told him what to say. Period. Go back to hating him. Nothing to see here.
-
Lmao, Beck won because of racial issues. That's the biggest load of bullshit I've heard this year
-
He said something he was told to say
