It is "Politics And Other Controversies" and this certainly is controversial!

It's the VMAs. Something crazy always happens. Kanye is a jerk as always, and MTV will play this over and over again on their network.

Exactly...It sounds like the stormfront call to arms...what he did was stupid...injecting race into the conversation makes the OP as ignorant as Kanye West.

Meh. I guess. It just seems like this is better suited for another board.

That was really classless and pathetic move on Kanye's part. That poor girl was giving her acceptance speech and he stole the moment from her. I hope MTV doesn't allow this guy on any future award shows as he does not know how to behave. What a spoiled child.

Maybe he didn't and maybe whatever her name is (Beyonsee) should have won it. I have to defer to the judgement of my kids on that one. But regardless you don't do a "Joe Wilson" and rain on somebody else's moment in the limelight. I think Taylor Swift should have used that heavy trophy in her hands and done a "Pete Townshend" to Kayne West! (for those of you under 40, Townshend was a guitarist who used his guitar to knock Abbie Hoffman off the stage after Hoffman came up and grabbed the mic to make a speech).

Exactly. The fact that the OP chose to do a thread on this person is pretty funny. The guy is a joke, everyone knows it, he's rude, spoiled, ludicrous, etc. I mean really, there is no excuse for him, yet the OP has to bring up race, only because he's black & she's white. I don't know how many crazy things have happened at the VMA's but if you want to categorize it, I'll do it. Sorry MsConnie, I don't mean you, I'm talking to the OP.
