So in order to be a better country, we need to have the same taste in music as you?
Please tell me you are joking.

I wasn't talking about his "music", I'm talking about his statements. West is a moron, he's proved that a few times over the last few years.

We are an equal opportunity nation and Mr. West delights in demonstrating that Douche bags come in every color ......including black.

Nothing racist about that.

And it was a war that started with an attack on Ft. Sumter, so the federal government could strike back. The war is over, the USA is the USA, all of it, north, south, east, and west, so that is that.

Fact is, the war is over, and the South lost that war. The southern states are part of the USA. And it was a civil war. A civil war is a war taking place between two factions within a nation. The "CSA" was still technically the USA, it was just territory in rebellion against the USA.

I think he's a pretty good businessman and I'm amused by his in-your-face attitude about the Confederate flag. It's also clever, a black man claiming the Confederate flag drains it of it's power, and I suspect he knows that.

I can't wait until the young white fans of Kanye West start wearing the confederate flag, all hell will break loose then.

I never said he wasn't a good business man, he's figured out how to convince millions of fools to buy and listen to his music. He must be good at something other than getting punched in the face.

You are right the North had more deaths than the South. And at the beginning the South was kicking the North's ass until supplies started getting low. They had double the population and all of the manufacturing factories and it still took them 4 years to win that war. LOL.

And you need a little more knowledge about that war.
