What you're doing is addressing the issue. Playing the race card is what we do when take a human issue and put it in an artificially racial context.<br /><br />Kanye was a jerk. He was wrong. But he wasn't wrong because he's black or she's white. Race = irrelevant. The end.<br /><br />On a side note, I am NOT the black amabassador to other races. None of us are. When I do something human (like eat, say something stupid, or get angry), it's unfair to assume that I'm standing in for all black people and doing what they would do. <br /><br />Kanye didn't do what every black man would've done, so stop talking about his blackness in context of the Taylor Swift situation. <br /><br />Thanks for the post, Nina!The Occasional Embellishmenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13348548453192374224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984799222486065714.post-17497797295551430952009-09-15T10:26:14.905-04:002009-09-15T10:26:14.905-04:00Oh my goodness!

Competitiveness and fame gone sour, check. <br /><br />However ... an excuse to bring race and unlikely scenarios (while reflecting ignorance and hate) into the picture ... uncheck. Ick.<br /><br />And for the record, all hell has broken loose for these two. I last heard that Serena had been fined $10K, and the backlash against Kanye went as far as a comment from the President (which has been withdrawn, but nonetheless!)<br /><br />Makes me sad. What century are we living in?<br /><br />That being said, yes, Kayne, quit being a butt.Thoughts from the Deserthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09859754816006058440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984799222486065714.post-88261228418686118002009-09-14T22:52:55.657-04:002009-09-14T22:52:55.657-04:00:D Why yes Mrs. Dragon - that does make me feel be...:D Why yes Mrs. Dragon - that does make me feel better!miznychttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13706176560091144759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984799222486065714.post-38883485079792017102009-09-14T22:32:43.575-04:002009-09-14T22:32:43.575-04:00If it makes you feel any better my twitter feed la...If it makes you feel any better my twitter feed last night was full of "what an ass" comments and not a one mentioned race. : )Amanda Congerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02116342707972274503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984799222486065714.post-56190594762872246812009-09-14T13:07:47.133-04:002009-09-14T13:07:47.133-04:00pd- really?

A friend pointed out that Serena's behavior was deemed disgraceful however John McEnroe was deemed legendary for his frequent on-court outbursts. To which I agreed. Another friend commented she may have had PMS. To which I questioned if McEnroe had testiculitis or priapism. Then another friend added, you know Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are gonna be all over this tomorrow. I left the thread at that point. WTF? I know that was a race card dig, but if the issue is about Blacks pulling the race card-can I live, at least let ME pull it! The discussion at best was about sexism (albeit indirectly) and then we end up "there". Please people don't go "there." And Kanye, I love him...his assholery lends to his perpetual misery which equals more studio time and exceptional production work-atleast I keep trying to tell myself that.T.Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07288157852760931385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984799222486065714.post-76903876309456012452009-09-14T08:20:10.029-04:002009-09-14T08:20:10.029-04:00just my opinion - any sentence that starts with, &...just my opinion - any sentence that starts with, "I don't want to be labeled a racist, but.." is probably a bad idea.
