I like to call people like him, filterless. They have no filter in their brain and think it is okay to say anything that pops into their little heads. Most people think about what they say and decided if it is a good idea to vocalise, he doesn't. I tried really hard to like this guy but with the constant outbursts and childish behavior how can you!
My BF meets well know actors and singers from time to time and he recently met Kanye. He was super nice and respectful and just plain nice...so it is just crazy that he keeps coming out with these crazy comments.
People try to make excuses for people that do things like this, they are ill mentally or physically or suffer from something...but as my dad always said, "Their is no excuse for bad behavior...period!" This was not the first time nor will it be the last time. I mean he can blame it on anything he wants, and if he truly believes it is because he works to much (as he said on the Jay Leno show) than he better get off his bum and do something about it. He should be ashamed of himself and the way he acted. (And remember in most cases mentally ill people dont' know they are acting out, he admitted he was wrong in a blog that they took down a few hours later and on the Jay Leno Show) He has a lot of growing up to do and I hope he starts now. I can totally see why people see him as racist. If any other race would have said what he said it would be seen as such. We have to look at both sides and with his crazy comments he is portraying himself as such. If he doesn't want to be seen as a racist maybe he shouldn't be making racist comments. He seems to have the mentality that he can say whatever he wants because of who he is....but remember his fans are what made him who he is and they are starting to fall off of that band wagon.
