Kanye West is an asshole
Posted In:
Kanye, who I generally support because he is a fellow George Bush hater, is an asshole. Thats the only way to explain this comment he made to Complex magazine:
“Only white people and older black people say ‘bling’ now. If a white person uses slang too early, then that makes them look like a wigger. But if black people use slang too late, then it makes them look like a wigger.”
First, “bling” has been a played out word for a LONG ass time. Everyone knows that. But what is just foul about these statements is the fact the fact he makes it a racial issue. Why do people try and keep track of “white words” and “black words”??? Who has time to care? If I hear a word and I want to say it, it doesn’t matter what race the person saying it was, I am going to use it. And if we are speaking about played out words, “wigger” might just top the list. How about denouncing the word bling because it embodies so much of whats wrong with the world? Like mining the earth to shit to get these diamonds in the very places where help is needed the most. Music is suppose to be about a message, but unfortunately it is all about getting BLING. And sure, Kanye likes to make money off a song about blood diamonds, but what does he really do to help anybody? ??? So my advice to Kanye: step off your high horse BITCH, and use your position to break down racial stereotyping instead of helping build racial tension.
p.s. I bet he doesn’t mind all his WHITE fans using his lingo as long as they BUY his album!!!
