Voltaic Borusse said:I'm sorry, but I couldn't help but laugh and roll at Mike Meyer's reaction. It's one of a kind, really. You could literally see the sheer disgust on his face. And Kanye was totally in the wrong, IMO. If you're going to be a Carlos*ass, do it -- using another medium.

Vagegast said:Back to point: When the tsunami hit, they kept showing this family from Norway or whatever when hundreds of thousands of Asians were dying. On Thursday, NBC first showed the Superdome--full of black people of course. Than they showed 8 random white strangers hiding on the roof "guarding" against intruders.
Don't think race plays a roll in this? Either get real or move out of Wyoming.
::shinji:: said:...and no, I don't think Kanye should have said what he did. Not now, anyway. He will have plenty of opportunities to voice his opinion, but now he's just succeded in making an already tense situation worse.
Voltaic Borusse said:You can't really pin-point it then, because the expression Mike Meyers conveyed looked like (to me) he was disgusted and embarrassed by Kanye's outlandish comment. Anyway, Kanye could have at least been intelligent about it. He looked like he was reading off a teleprompter when he said that comment.
Parra Power said:agreed..... he may or may not be right but now is def. not the time for criticism. it would be like criticizing and blaming american foreign policy on september 12, 2001. when the situation is resolved, and "normality" (in whatever form it may take) is restored, THEN you can start playing the blame game... not now
Vagegast said:Yeah, Kanye was being random as hell... but he just wanted to get his message out. And I don't think he was wrong. I just disagree with the way he said it but than again, this is a celebrity. There's no point in getting upset about what some celebrity said--the only reason they're saying it and you're not is because people listen to celebrities as if the Pope were saying it.

shez said:and yet another proof that America is a racist country check out the cnn presents which the had on tonight about the hurricane where they show white families going back to check on their homes and then they get to a point where a woman in a white family finds their home still standing and she's crying and clapping to her husband "ITS THERE BABE ITS THERE!!" at the same time where black americans are dying of hunger and sickness and nobody even bothers...Tell me americans care about how Blacks feel!!
