Kanye West Doesn't Care About White People

Hey, what else am I to deduce given his bizarre behavior at the MTV Video Awards 2009 held in New York City last night?

After uttering barely two sentences of her acceptance speech, Country artist Taylor Swift was accosted by Kanye West who snatched the microphone out of her delicate hands to rant - though briefly - about how Beyonce (up for the same award, sitting near the front of the auditorium), had one of the best videos of all time.

West told Swift, "I'm gonna let you finish..." after he grabbed the mike.

Excuse me? He's going to let her finish?

This is the same A**hole who, after Hurricane Katrina nearly leveled the entire Gulf Coast, told an audience that "George Bush doesn't care about black people!"

(Remembering that New Orleans, at the time, was a city with a democrat mayor in a state with a democrat governor.)

I'm sure there are other misbehaviors by this piece of garbage, but I don't need to hear about them or report them hear.

I understand that West may have been drinking alcohol at the time and that he later apologized to Taylor. Neither matters to me. (To tell you the truth, I was already pretty nauseated by the opening remarks by the emcee, some obnoxious Brit I've never heard of, and who appeared to be a no-talent hack, so it was time for me to go to bed shortly after West's stunt).

Later last night, in a very classy move, Beyonce, after winning Best Video of the year, invited Taylor back on stage to finish her thank-you's. You go, girl!

In an unrelated outburst earlier in the weekend, Serena Williams told a line judge at the U.S. Open Tennis Tournament (also in New York City), that if she could, she would shove "this f***ing tennis ball down your f***ing throat!"

In the video, the line judge - a female - appears to be of Asian descent.

The foot fault call was made on Serena's second serve, giving her opponent, Belgian Kim Clijsters a match point opportunity. After some discussion by the Chair Umpire and Tournament Director, Serena was issued a penalty point giving the match - and advancement to the Women's Final - to Clijsters.

She would go on to win the tournament.

Williams apologized - twice - and was fined $10,000.


I suggest Kanye and Serena go on a date together...to an anger-management meeting.
