Definitely the type of guy brought up to use race when he can't find any other way to defend his views.

Racist... A bit of a stretch.

He just doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut. Nobody would've said anything if he took to his blog after the show or said that in a post-show interview. But of course he made himself look like an angry, belligerent black man because he interrupted a white woman in the middle of her shining moment. (A well deserved one at that)

And by the way, I absolutely think it was disgusting how he did that to her. Thank God Beyonce had enough class to give Taylor a chance to take her hard earned moment.

Kanye is a pure attention hound. No such thing as bad publicity in his mind, because unfortunately, I assume, a good amount of the black population will back him up no matter what. I'll always like the guy for his music, but the respect I have for him as a person is just about gone.

Not sure if it's a stretch D-Rave. Put the shoe on the other foot. If a white musician said Obama doesn't like white people, and then pulled last night's stunt with Rhianna, I wonder how many African Americans would be screaming racism? My guess is hundreds of thousands or more. Chances are Jackson and Sharpton would already be on the case.

For the most part I like his music (and I think his dumb ass antics seriously diminish how talented he really is), but he and Common both have lyrics saying how they don't approve of black women dating white men and vice versa. Can't remember the exact song/verse, but it's something along the lines of making them sick.

I hate to bring race into anything, but I can't help it on this one. Ask yourself this, do you really in your heart believe if it was Rhianna up there getting that award that Kanye would have pulled that stunt? I really really doubt it.

I only use Rhianna b/c she is a young African American music star with fame/popularity similar to that of a Taylor Swift.
