Kanye West Hates White People

You know, I once believed Kanye West a couple of years ago when, during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, he made the (at the time) popular quote: "George Bush hates black people!"

Now, I just now realized that Mr. West just hates any and all white people who pisses him or anybody close to him (granted that they are not emotionally scared from losing in a almost meaningless award show).

The fact of the matter was, last night should have been a night for country music (that's right, a black man admits country music is good). 19 year old Taylor Swift finally broke the barriers between pop culture and country by winning best female video last night over front runner Beyonce! However, when Taylor began her speech that would ultimately open the doors to other country starlets to come over, Kanye West had the black moment shown round the world.



Listen, regardless if you like country music or not, you don't do what West do on stage. When the Giants beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl a couple of years back, you didn't see Coach Belichick get on the podium and say, "I just want to say this year's Patriots was the greatest of all time!" If they were the greatest team of all time, they would have won that Super Bowl (which I really wanted them to because the damn Giants knocked the Packers out the Super Bowl).

Now, keep this in mind, most of the awards are decided upon by either industry leaders or viewers of music videos (wait, do music videos even exist?). The fact of the matter is, barring a huge up-swell of Taylor Swift fans who really wanted to piss Beyonce (oops, I mean Mr. West) off, the critics and fans decided who had the best female video of 2009, and they thought that Taylor Swift had a better video.

Now, let's not all feel bad for Beyonce, she did go on to win 3 awards later on, including Video of the Year (I'm surprised that Kayne didn't come back out to say "Love Lockdown" was the greatest video of all time which was also nominated).

BUT LET'S KEEP IT REAL.....

Kanye West is a gay fish who still believes that he's still somewhat in charge of everything in the world. He needs to get his head out of his butt and realize he is not the voice of my generation. To be honest, I probably would have voted for Taylor Swift over Beyonce mainly because of the song (everybody has heard the "if you like it then you should have put a ring on it" BS too many times. Also, Swift is the new hotness in music today!) That's not saying Beyonce didn't have a good video, but it's not that big of a deal!

Also, if anybody watches the clip in it's entirety, doesn't it look like Beyonce was giving Kayne "the look?" You know, the "there might be something more to this than just musical collaboration" look. Jay-Z, I know you just released your new CD (love The Blueprint 3, great deal on Amazon MP3), but you might want to check your wife and see if more than just her "Ego" is getting attention from Kayne.

Kanye, you can do better than this! I challenge you to make an album where you don't act like a douche or use Auto-tune in it! It'll probably be your worst selling CD of all time, but hey, at least you're trying to change!

Also, Kanye, you're a gay fish!
