I’m responding to the posts about Kanye West at the MTV VMAs. I’m sure we all know that Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swifts award speech by saying Beyonce had the best video of the year. What really saddens me about this event is how much racial tension it is causing. I know as I seen it happen on TV I was on face book. People started posting things like, “Kanye just lost all of his white fans.” The fact that Taylor Swift is a white country music singer and Kanye is an African American in the Hip hop industry people automatically took racial sides. This has been all over the radio stations and depending upon whether you hear it from 100.3 the beat or Z 107.7 the story is portrayed so differently. All anybody wants to focusing on is this being some sort of racial attack when it reality it was just a jerk move by Kanye. If anything this was just something he did to be the center of talk and get any sort of publicity he can. Celebrities know that we will buy into drama. Any publicity is good publicity for them. Hasn’t anybody noticed how both he and Taylor Swift’s songs have been playing a lot on the radio? They have also both snagged spots on top talk shows since. This is just like the John and Kate situation. You would think oh they are separated and aren’t going to film anymore shows so we’ll just forget about them. We’ve done the exact opposite and they have gotten more spotlights in the media than ever before. I found a video of Taylor Swift on The View after Kanye had his interview on Jay Leno.
