Kanye needs to have his jaw wired shut...again.
As far as the Michael Richards thing, I don't care. It's not as if he's relevant anymore anyway. I loved him as Kramer...but that's not Kramer. |
True, but it was a shock to my system, and I live in The South. I'm one of 6 black people in my office, and there are about 20 of us. We all get along pretty well in our multicultural space. To hear someone broadcast that just smacks you back into general reality that we have a long way to go.
I kept it in, but Kanye disturbs me more. I know it's just music videos, but these music videos that objectify and exploit women are seen by young impressionable people everyday. One thing I always infer from the videos is that the average black woman isn't pretty enough anymore because I rarely see us. I have my own self-awareness, but how many 18 year olds or even 8 year olds are that aware? On top of that, he labeled biracial women as a name reserved for animals...in a publication for Black women.
This is one time Kanye should've kept his mouth shut. Then again, it's another case of putting your true self out there for the world to see. I'm not biracial, but I'm completely offended by Kanye.
But for all the outrage, will we do anything about it?
