Just the mention of the word Kanye sparks such a negative racist reaction among white folks that ? is beyond logical. Seriously all one got to do is go to any kanye article and see the comments made you swear that this dude is the worst person on the face of the planet... Especially this overreaction over this Britney Spears ? its disgusting..

    Thanks for proving my point...

    I don't think I'd be too far off when I say probably 70% of the people that buy Kanye's albums are white, so obviously white people don't hate kanye.

    But to your point, people in general are overreacting to what kanye said (says)...which is typical.

    he would like you to think so, but in reality a good 85% of his fan base is white.

    Let me guess what your point was? *inserts racist rhetoric and innuendos*

    That the mere mention of Kanye West in an article regardless of its him doing charity work or making a harmless joke of Britney Spears the majority of comments from white folks are exactly like this and worst..

    White Hip hop fans to me are seprate then the white folks Im talking bout (those like Heyslick imo the majority) one who never heard a Kayne song yet call him a gangster rapper. Or call him a thug/ghetto dispite coming from middle class and is college educated and never been in trouble with the law unless you count smashing a TMZ camera to be thug behavior.

    This idiot has a proven track record of irritating people.....he has NO respect for others. Real men who have respect for themselves know how to show respect for others....and this little boy is just that a little boy.

    I dont have a problem with any of those so called "incidents" imo especially for the most part I agree with what Kayne said... he the only one to actually say whats on his mind and not be pc about it fact is Britney Spears did not have a song for years and she ended up bombing, who the hell is Gretchen Wilson? never heard of her Kanye had a crticically acclaimed album that sold millions Im not sure Ms. wilson did. As for Taylor Swift He was correct in that moment. I would honestly respect more people if they did the same thing instead of being ass kissers. Kanye is saying what whole lot of other people say to each other and thinking.

    Comments hard to ignore when its ? you would expect to hear at a clan rally...And its not just comments is similar ? I hear from many of my white co workers and white folks I interacted with on the regular (who arent hip hop fans)...

    Some one who wants to be what they aren't and can't act like the person they really are.

    So, what is acting "black" and acting "white?" Or, what is acting like the person you are not? So, if a chinese person acts japanese (whatever that is), would they be wiggers also?

    I didn't say anything about how one acts......a wannabe is someone who doesn't wannabe who they are. How they act is up to them.

    Who are they??? What defines them?

    One size/answer doesn't fit all....I answered playmaker one way and your question was answered another way.......it still comes down to the same thing. Wannabees are confused individuals.

    confused about what?

    Not really -- if you walked a mile in my shoes then you might understand. I walk thru out my community to conduct my business....e.g. I park my car in the downtown garage and walk to whatever services I need/post office barer shop library etc. So I see things from the ground level and don't have to pretend like someone I'm not,therefore I have to be aware of my environment and surroundings.


    So...... your just like everyone else.. besides your defects

    Some time ago before you became a mod. One of your post mentioned something about being out of the country for a few days and you when you got back you would address those issues...whatever they were? I don't recall.

    I go to Japan often, but that's about it. I vaguely remember that conversation.
