GO TAYLOR!!!! The really sad part is I even let my little girl watch it b/c Taylor Swift was going to be on there and this is what she has to see! She now knows how not to act!

im not offended or anything just i dont know Kanye personally at all and i don't want to get to know him but i am from Chicago and I know people who do and with knowing them i don't think he is racist he may not like some white people but i dont think it is all white people. I wouldn't go as far to say he is racist. i dont like that word I hate racism its so stupid. My boyfriend is Black and it hurts to be called racist when your not lets just say he is an idiot. and keep race out of it if he is or isnt.

Excuse me but this was not posted "just for laughs" it was sarcasm........It wasn't to show disrespect for Patrick or Micheal, their lives were tragically cut short..... This was something that someone else made up as an illustration as to Kanye's arrogance and total cluelessness (?)....The sentiment was to illustrate that even at an event when the utmost respect would and should be given Kenya would be just as clueless....Which is what most of the other members in this thread are expressing in this thread.....

Someone posted if it was a joke and I replied with a "could be" and an eye roll....Which was meant to say,with Kanye it could be.............Sorry for the misunderstanding this caused you.....

Sometimes I don't type enough in my posts to clarify my thoughts I can see how it looked like it was typed to just be funny.....

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.

It seems famous/wealthy people have been getting away with alot in recent years. I hope the public does start holding them accountable. We have to not put money in their pockets and not hold them higher than us on the social ladder. They are people just like us only they make more money. They should be respectful of their fans, peers and the public in general just as we are expected to.

I in no way shape or form called anyone racist...my point was that through his music and other things he has said publicly he has made it very known that he feels blacks are better than whites...as far as I am concerned race does not matter if you are a good person then you are a good person...even if your purple! I just think that had someone of his race won the award nothing would have been said! But I do pose the question what would have happened had Beyonce' won and someone like Billy Ray Cyrus stood up and said something like that to her?

I do not think Kanye is a racist. I think Kanye is arrogant. I also believe Kanye thinks his opinions trump everybody else's opinions. I truly believe he says what is on his heart when he makes those outbursts. At times, I think he feels the need to share his wisdom with the world even if people disagree (champion for a cause). I do not think he cares about offending people with his remarks when he makes those outbursts, because he thinks he is speaking the truth and the voice for what is right. I read a lot of music blogs. Kanye is always making comments about how Jay-Z is his idol and how Beyonce should be a living legend. He believes Beyonce is the best female singer right now. Sometimes, I think Kanye is Jay-Z and Beyonce biggest fans. I wish Kanye would stop making those outbursts at award shows, because he always embarrasses himself. He is a good rapper, and I enjoy listening to his music. I think Kanye is a nice person that happens to be very arrogant. We all have our character flaws, because nobody is perfect. I hope he changes his behavior. It saddened me to watch Kanye interrupt Taylor's acceptance speech, but I am glad that Beyonce gave back Taylor Swift moment to shine. Taylor Swift seems like a very sweet girl that makes good music, and I am glad she got the award. These are my opinions about Kanye based on his behavior I see on TV and read in music blogs.

You're making it a race issue, it has already been established he's rude, arrogant, a**hole, and egotistical. If he'd approached another black person like that it would had been just as rude. lt's not necessary to make it racial.

Once again I am not making it into a race issue... MY POINT IS THAT HE THINKS BLACKS ARE BETTER THAN WHITES NO MATTER WHO HE SAID IT TO!!! AND YES IT WOULD HAVE BEEN JUST AS RUDE FOR HIM TO SAY IT TO SOMEONE OF HIS RACE BUT HAD SOMEONE OF HIS RACE WON HE WOULD NOT HAVE UTTERED A WORD THIS IS MY POINT!! I WOULD NEVER MAKE IT A RACE ISSUE CONSIDERING MY HUSBANDS BROTHER IS BLACK AND AS I SAID BEFORE IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU ARE BLACK WHITE PURPLE PINK YELLOW ORANGE OR PUKE GREEN AS LONG AS YOU ARE A GOOD PERSON AND TREAT OTHERS HOW YOU WANT TO BE TREATED!!!!!!!!!

Hi, Mohawkmalli. Where did you hear Kanye say Blacks are better than Whites? I have never heard Kanye make those types of comments before. Kanye is a big fan of Beyonce. He always makes comments about Beyonce being a living legend and being one of the best female singers right now. Obviously, not everybody agrees with Kanye's opinion, because Taylor won the award. Kayne just needs to learn not to overstep his boundaries and respect diverse opinions. More than likely, I think this experience will change Kanye's behavior. If somebody says Kanye said Blacks are better than Whites, then that person is making a statement that revolves around race. This person is calling Kanye a racist. I believe that if somebody calls somebody a racist, then he or she needs some facts to back that statement up.
