Couldn't have said it any better. We all are guilty of saying things when we're upset that we later regret, so in that respect Kanye is human, like the rest of us. And, by the way....SLASH, you shouldn't have said what you said about the tree, either. When are we going to stop hating each other just because we aren't the same color, or religion, or whatever. I truly think Kanye has some emotional instability and needs some help. But, so does Lindsey Lohan and a few dozen others I can think of.

Right on! right on! icdou.....tell it like it is. Keepin it real.....100 percent.

Slim,
west attended college BUT DROPPED OUT - HE ISN'T COLLEGE EDUCATION ANYTHING!

Why should this day and age be any different than when your ancestors were alive?Thats the question you should be asking yourself...I don't think you're smart enough to answer that,so I will do the honors...We have learned through history that we need to be 1 to be a WHOLE country,not just SEPARATED as we are now and have been since this country was formed...First of all whites(english,irish etc.)killed and stole the land from my people(Indians),not because they were any better,but because they were ruthless killers that took advantage of innocent,kind and loving people...The fore mentioned group of people are why this country is in the condition it is in today...
Can you tell me why whites always have to have someone to slander?First it was the Indian,then the Blacks,then chinese,then the Mexican and now all Middle eastern people...
Are the whites so insecure that they have to try and put down every race that doesn't look like them?
What does all this have to do with Kayne,you say...Well,Kayne is an educated,well versed and lets not forget FAMOUS,Black Man...All you white people are threatened by his presence as you are of ANY educated Black person...So,you ridicule,hate on,slander and do all you can to bring educated Blacks down...
What you have to remember is that white America has made us strong over the years...Because of all the obstacles whites have made for the Blacks,our strength to survive has been fantastic...So,thanks for giving us that Black Power...
I hope you are not affended by this reply,I only want to try and make at least on white person understand a little more about their counterpart here in this country...As I am sure you know,there are smart people in every race,we are all the same in that we have ONE creator who loves us all...
Don't discriminate,congradulate and accept everyone...Trust me on this one,YOU will lead a happier life than you do now with the burden of racism off your shoulders...

Shut ur Racist mouth James! Irish were sent over to America and the Carribean as slaves! In England the white Irish people have been a minority for years! depicted as pigs and apes in magazines like Punch not to mention the theft of OUR land and the murder of OUR people... I remember reading one article from the early twentieth century which described the Irish as 'somewhere between the ape and the n.....' not to mention what happened to the Birmingham 6 and Guildford 4 in the 70's..so you want to bundle us all in the same catagory because of our skin? how racist r u? educate yourself! and Slash ur out of order

You're not along. Lots of us are so sick of this talentless thug we simply choose to ignore him if that's possible. Matt didn't treat him any differently, he's just used to being worshipped by the press in Holllyweird who always throw him softball questions. He lost all credibility when he said GW was a racist. Shows he knew absolutely nothing about his staff who were more diverse than OB's.

there was a jerk talking to another jerk, which equals a "who gives a freckle?" ahahahahahahahahaaha

Agreed! It's not right for Matt to use his position as anchor to turn the news into the psychoanalysis hour, AND to try and publicly humiliate a guy who is obviously still growing up. I never thought I would agree with Kanye, but it WAS rude to cut him short in the middle of an apology to show footage we've all seen 50+ times. Let him apologize and then let him go. Quit beating it to death. What does any of this have to do with Veteran's Day, anyway???

Sorry but Lauer is really a professional. He is dedicated and spend time EQUALLY to people when they do a story.

HHMMMMM? Let me guess? Your'e black? Am I right? Huh! Am I?

With regard to GW's Katrina response having to do with racism - I must disagree. GW was just stupid and racism had little to do with anything he ever did. Not saying he's NOT a racist - I don't have enough data to form a solid opinion on that...I just don't think that particular failing was a driving factor during his terms in office.
