The Internet has spawned a universe of renegade video: an outpouring of parody, celebrity, sci-fi, bloopers, undiscovered talent and weirdness that defies category. We're in an age where homemade clips flare into worldwide phenomena.
We like this stuff. We think about it. And we show you our favorites.

Kanye West is the epitome as to why the majority of white people stay away from black people. I am not trying to be racist. I am stating a simple FACT here.
I have NEVER NEVER ever liked Kanye to begin with. NEVER. I had always thought PRIOR to this incident that he is an obnoxious, self-righteous, arrogant ahole. Taylor Swift did NOT deserve the verbal abuse. If I was Taylor, I would have told off that arrogant ahole and I would have INSISTED that he be locked up in JAIL for a few days for the verbal assault. It's just very obvious that he had poor role models for parents.
He should have been publicly FINED and SHOWN THE DOOR and be BARRED from appearing on ANY awards show ever again. And despite his "so-called" apology to Taylor, if he was REALLY and TRULY sorry, he would NOT have pulled a 2 year old tantrum act in the first place!
I encourage anyone who has ANY music or ANYTHING of Kanye West's to GET RID of it and DUMP IT STRAIGHT IN THE GARBAGE! If you had recently bought his music, RETURN IT and DEMAND YOUR MONEY BACK. DO NOT buy anything of his anymore. His record sales need to seriously drop to an ALL TIME LOW. Kanye really and truly needs to learn that there is a FINE LINE when it comes to behaving in public.

I'd hate to read what you would say if you WERE trying to be racist.
I noticed that you didn't give any credit to Beyonce Knowles for trying to make things right. To ascribe negativity to a person and bring up race and deny the positive attribute of a person of the same race is...patently racist.
But Kanye's behavior was offensive. I felt really bad for Taylor Swift who performed as a class act at the VMA's....y'know, for a white girl.

It's seems that we are losing the true meaning in all of this and are quick to pull race cards here...
Fact: Kanye is a Disrespectful, No-class, Arrogant person.

I don't think it was that bad, and actually I get Kanye. Taylor, while being a talented COUNTRY singer, is obviously out of her musical genre. With that being said, Beyonce is a musical Mona Lisa. She is light years more talented than Taylor Swift. I think these award shows are bogus, and although Kanye's actions may have been politcally uncorrect, I too feel she had been slighted on this one as well.

Kanye West behaved like a total prick. Who would think of doing such a thing, especially to a young girl. I bet he only said because his label forced him to do so and if MTV had any class they would consider banning his music from being broadcast or inviting him to an award ever again, it disrespected the industry, the ceremony and a young girl who deserved to be there.

Lofa, I hate to tell you but you are a racist. To associate the, admittedly reprehensible, acts of one person to an entire race is racist. I can assure you that the majority of black people were equally appalled by his actions. Question: when Barack Obama won for president, did you attribute all of his good qualities to every black person?

Rod and Not a Kanye Fan you both rock.
Simply saying 'Im not being racist' is not a way to say racist things and... not be racist.
