hahaha sorry. that was sad and funny at the same time.. Kanye is just Kanye, man. Cant blame him… it was real it was funny but it wasnt real funny lol 
poor tay
I was never able to stomach Kanye’s self absorbed arrogance.
He is disgusting and I am so glad to know that Hollywood isn’t pleased either.He makes me sick and I hope everyone do “black ball” him. I know I will never support him in any way.
Im sorry to say i still love Kanye I mean he hes human dont act like youve never made an ass of yourself.BUT SERIOUSLY THOUGH WHAT HE DID WAS VERY WRONG AND NOT WORTH IT! I FEEL AS IF HE DID IT FOR ATTENTION!! BUH I FREAKING LOVE BEYONCE FOR WHAT SHE DID AND EVEN THOUGH SHE GAVE THAT MOMENT TO TAYLOR..THAT MOMENT WAS STILL B’S!! LOVE U GIRL!! AND CONGRATS TAYLOR SWIFT!
AND P.S. LETS NOT MAKE THIS A BLACK AND WHITE DEAL OKAY??
The truth is he was mad that a white person won. Kanye is nothing but a bigot. He said on the Jay Leno show that her winning was not how he envisions the awards. Do not support racism. Don’t buy Kanye’s albums, please.
Wow it’s amazing how people has all this stuff to say about kanye…but everything thing he said was right! Beyonce worked her ass off this year and her video was of the chain! It probably wasn’t the best time to do it but his statement was true!!!! I thank god for the BET Awards because if it wasn’t for it, I don’t believe african americans in the music industry would be acknowledge like they should!!! That’s all I have to say about that
[...] not gonna bore you with what Kanye West did at the VMAs. We all know. Also, we all hate him for being such a meanie! Well I don’t hate him, he is a hero to me. But after the deplorable acts against humanity he [...]
Yo Kanye,
Time to pay the piper Dude….. I hope it was worth it.
You have no one to blame but yourself. Have you finally hit “rock bottom” enough to get the help you so desperately need.
Kanye, YOUR A FU…. Racist!
Okay, first of all if it was a white person who ran up on stage and did that to a black person, you would never hear the end of it!!!!
He’s a racist!!
Anyone sticking up for a p…of sh.. like that has to be black…..What he did was so fu….up!!
Why doesnt everyone really be REAL and tell it like it is…
All the money in the world would never impress me enough to be in his presence….
I don’t care if he uses the excuse that his mom died or that he was drunk, we all lose people we love he’s a weak poor excuse for a black man….Maybe that’s why he’s so miserable,he doesn’t like himself…..
I agree with Bernadine. Kanye made such a big deal about the president not liking black people. And there whether it was true or not the response was 50/50 only because 50 percent of america didn’t like BUSH. Not because they agreed with the statement. Now he has picked on a young CHILD. I remind people of this because legally you are a CHILD until you’re 18. and Not only that a girl, and a sweet girl, that not even the meanest comedians or celebrity bloggers have tried to tear down. I really think that Kayne should stop speaking for the black community and I’m sure they do too because now he’s just reinforcing the stereotype that black people are rude, loud, and classless. If George Bush DOES hate black people THAT’s why
and too all the beyonce fans… because i just read some of their remarks… That’s fine, yes she’s talented and she works hard. BUT she didn’t win. That’s it, the point of being an adult is to accept that and be a good sport. Which she was. it was Kanye who could shut the f*** up. and It’s not even his award!!! It just made beyonce look bad also. Luckily she did damge control at the end of the show. And also to “terri” who said “thank god for the BET awards” If you really think that African Americans don’t get the credit they deserve THIS IS WHY! because no one black or white should be buying albums from someone who is a jack a** has nothing to do with RACE.
I LOVE KANYE WEST. TAYLOR SUCKS HIS FISH STICKS. SHE IS A REDNECK ND HE IS FUNNY IM SO HAPPY HE DID THAT IF ANYTHING HE MADE HER MORE POPULAR.
i dont listen to Kanye West, point made
