The guy's face was always fat, I've seen his ugly ass before his little car wreck....
West exploited the biggest disaster of our age, in which black and white alike became refugees overnight, to trivialize what the white victims are going through and make very stupid and ignorant divisive comments.
So you're god damn right I'll call him a chipmunk.... I'd love to take it one step further so he'd have to get his jaw wired shut again.
About racism, think about this- we always hear about how horrible it is when a black guy gets followed around the store in a white neighborhood.... he gets made slightly uncomfortable and we're all supposed to cry about what a tragedy it is....
What about whites who go to black neighborhoods and get called every racial slur in the book and get beaten/robbed/murdered?.... Their experiences aren't valid because they don't know what it's like to be black....
How about the Wichita Massacre? Where was the national media? Where were Jesse Jackson and Michael Moore and AL Sharpton?

The most horrible hate crime you can think of, but the victims were white so it isn't valid, because they don't know what it's like to be black.
Well anyone who says that guess what? You don't know what it's like to be white! I'm noticing an increasing number of whites, all with similar stories of racism that sound like something that would happen back in the "horrible" old days. That is where white racism is coming from now, or at least a lot of it- it's counter-racism from an increasingly marginalized and derided, and also very large, segment of society.
Backbreaker, aside from the comment referring to me beinng slapped, your attitude is a very respectable one. If it were more prevalent, I think society could actually make some serious steps in actually improving race relations and not just sweeping the problems under the rug of political correctness....
In the meantime, I refuse to just sit down and take racism, or apologize for being white.
The worst "hate crime" tha tyou can think if is going to NOrthern Africa, taking millions of africans, breaking up famlies and households, and making an entire race work 18-20 hour days with no days off, in the rain, sleet, hail or snow for 465 years.
A hate crime is taking a black man, and decapating him for looking at a white woman.
A hate crime is tying a young black KID to the back of a pickup truck, and dragging him for miles on a dirt and rock country road.
I will admit, I didn't know he was like that BEFORE the wreck (if that was the case, no wonde rhe has social issues)
No one wants you to apologize for being white, at least I don't. I think that 95-98 percent of the european population in america is fine.
I think it's stupid for black people to be mad at 3hite people for something that didn't even happen in their generation. It's like your kids being mad at your EX GF's kids because she cheating on you.
Yeah, slavery is much, much worse, but that's the big picture. Like I said, as long as no one is beating me, or I honestly CAN'T do something because of the color of my skin, I am fine.
And in my opinion, and this is my opinino, kayne needs to shut the **** up.
I think Kayne, and I doube anyon can prove me wrong, had some REAL social issues as a kid. Probably even some Daddy issues. He acts too much like a girl. He wines, he pouts like a little *****. He reminds me of my old business partner, who happened to be a mama's boy.
Kayne from what i know hasn't experienced any type of real drama in his life.. He thinks that just because he went to college, not graduage college, but went, he is an intellectual. There are alot of rappers out there that GRADUATED from college, I guess he forgets that. Ludicrious for one. Stat Quo, an up and coming rapper from Atlanta got a masters from the university of Central Flordia.
His last album was good, but to me it was like it was making school seem worthless (college dropout) like saying "see, you really don't need to go to school" and that's not the message you want to send to young people, espically young african americans... like they don't have enough influences telling them not to go to school already. yes you can make it without school, Inever touched foot on a college campus, unless to go to a party, or to viist my cousin that played for Arkansas, but I also understand I took the harder route and that path isnt for everyone
