Brad Pitt cheated on his wife privately. And Kanye did it in front of millions of people on live tv.

Oh okay, so cheating in general is okay if it's done "privately". I think that's worse because honestly, when everyone found out, it was all over the tabloids, and to this day, they are STILL talking about it. I used to subscribe to OK magazine (eh $10 subscription... ;P ) and damn, how many times did I see Brangelina on the cover? Also, how many times did I see Jennifer Aniston having interviews?

I think Brad Pitt is an awesome actor, along with Jen and Angie, but seriously that shit was FUCKED UP on so many levels. I think it's worse when it's done privately because there's so many questions - how long was it going on for? Why did he do it? Why didn't Angie do anything about it? IDK, there could have been OTHER solutions (break up with Jen before getting with Angie), but things didn't work out that way.

Sorry for my little rant, but yea I mean, I think what Brad did was pretty douchebaggy when compared to what Kanye did. Just like what other people said, typical of Kanye, so it's not that big a deal. Beyonce did the right thing.

Man, if this was in Korea, the netizens would have RUINED Kanye over there. Look what they did to my Jaebeom (2PM) cry.gif

lol at him comparing his situation with Ben Stiller in Meet The Parents. Everyone knew Ben Stiller wasn't the villain or bad dude in the movie. Ben was just an attention whore in the movie who tried to please the family. 2nd attempt at an apology..not really lol.

If you read through my recent posts, you can see that I think this whole thing was blown way out of proportion, but your statement is bullshit, in my opinion. Sorry. haha It has nothing to do with him being black and everything to do with him being Kanye, a guy people hate. Period. I mean hell, Madonna gets raked over the media coals for having over-toned arms. Back in the day, Andrew Dice Clay got banned from MTV for making lewd comments. Janeane Garofalo was asked to leave The Majority Report on Air America because she was too radical in her political opinions.

So yeah, situation is retarded but I don't for one second think that it's because Kanye is a black man.
DoubleJ
^erm whatever. I could care less what you think anyway. The point I am making is that after looking at how people reacted with Michael Vick and Serena and now Kanye, I am convinced that it is at least part of the reason. People are making it seem like Kanye is this big ***hole and that taylor is like americas girl or something. give me a f*cking break.
brooklyneast05
idk if i agree with you on the media attention thing fully javonnn


however if you've been reading carrie's debates on tumblr then i can agree that some people's response to him being rude are disturbing/100% race motivated. like the tumblr and twitter posts calling him a nagger..backwoods nagger...saying he should be lynched...it's like wtf are they even talking about?

few examples

Think of it this way...the media wouldn't be all over this if perez hilton who is an even bigger attention grabber would have done this. You may have heard about it for half a day (if that) and then that would have been the end of it.

edit: in this instance yes Rebecca only because it really has something to do with race. I guess it is one of those things that you would have to either be black or a product of that environment to understand.

Oh come on. You imply that the media never criticizes a white person for doing crazy shit. The media is all over white celebrities: Paris Hilton, Madonna (as Rebecca pointed out), Britney Spears (remember how the media treated her back when she was doing crazy shit like getting married and shaving her head?) -- just to name a few.

You even cited Perez Hilton. When he got all pissed about the Miss America pageant contestant, the media ran with that for days. The reason it may not have been as big as Kanye isn't due to race, it's due to the fact that Perez Hilton is a pissant, and Kanye -- like him or not -- actually does shit. Plus Perez is a celebrity gossip blogger who developed a cult-like following because of his outrageous personality. Kanye is -- ostensibly -- an artist who should be above such petty nonsense.

Besides, let's be honest, both he and MTV want the media to discuss this, because it's good for Kanye's image, and what's good for Kanye is good for MTV. In fact, this was probably as staged as the Eminem walkout at the MTV Movie Awards.

How can you compare Perez Hilton with Kanye when Perez Hilton's career is based on shit talking alone while Kanye's is not? People expect it from Perez because that's what he does so we don't make a big deal out of it when he does it.

I never said that the media doesn't go after whites. I am saying that they are judged on a far less harsh scale than blacks are.

let me give you some examples:

Michael Vick - Roy Oswalt, Jake Peavy, etc.

People have made a big deal about Michael Vick and this dogfighting thing. I can understand why people are in a big uproar over it, but on the flipside I can understand Mike's case too. I come from an area where dogfighting is extremely popular. As a matter of fact, in minority communities, animal fighting period is very popular. To the outside world it may seem like this big bad thing to do, but to most minority people, it is something that happens all the time.

On the flipside, how many times do we hear about Jake Peavy wanting to go to the Houston Astros so that he can go hunting with Roy Oswalt in the winter? I am going to assume that these guys went hunting with their fathers, but what makes dogfighting different from going out and purposely killing animals?

Serena Williams was clearly upset about what happened when a line judge called an obvious bad call on her. The media has taken off with it and is calling her a drama queen and talking about how much of a poor sport she is and the whole nine. A

An equally big tennis player, Justine Henin QUIT! in a MAJOR FINAL two years ago and you really didn't hear much about it at all.

I know I don't have to explain to you how the media did Kobe when he got accused of rape.

How long did we hear about Big Ben and his rape accusations?

Barry Bonds has not had a positive steroid test surface yet but the media has already convicted him.

Not only has Roger Clemens TESTED POSITIVE for steroids WITH PROOF, but he LIED UNDER OATH and yet people seem to forget that.


And the reason I referenced Perez Hilton, is because when the media does decide to pay attention to Kanye on this level, they usually don't have anything nice to say about him.

For the most part, [most] people either ignore it or think that it's a joke. Notice that I have made references to it a few times (usually blacked out using spoiler tags or so). It's just something random that he says - doesn't really have anything to do with anything (just admit it, Steven, lol).

I believe eminem falls under that category? (seriously I am not sure since I don't know shit about him)
DoubleJ
I guess he does. I mean all I am saying is that it is something that most people won't get ya know. Like if a muslim or middle easter person were to talk to me about people being scared of them because they think they are a terrorist, I couldn't relate.


Or an asian being accused of something or a white person being accused of something I wouldn't be able to relate.

I think every race has had to deal with their fair share, but there are certain things that people are gonna feel a certain way about that others won't understand.
karmakiller
Can I have an opinion? I really don't a give shit. I'm pretty sure the number of people who watch the VMA's is declining. I don't care what race you are, if you're being a douchebag then you're being a douchebag.

Roger Clemens was all over the television about his drug use. Shit, if I was paying that much to go to a Baseball game I wouldn't care if the players grew tails... it would probably make the money paid actually worth it.

Anyone remember when the bassist Tim from RATM was pissed because Limp Bizkit (or however they spell it) won a moonman instead of them? He got arrested... Kanye didn't get arrested. All he did was bring some attention to some show the majority of American's don't care about.
superstitious
Of course there are aspects about differing lifestyles and I circumstances I wouldn't understand. However, we're talking about an observation of media and public reaction. To say that a white person can't make those observations simply because they're not black seems really silly and quite frankly, insulting.
none345678
Or which whats his face called a cop sugar tits and said something about Jewish people. People still talk about that.
DoubleJ
Lol @ Dee I was actually going to put that one about Tim from Rage.


Rebecca I said not black or a product of that environment. Nobody is saying that you can't have your observations, but I could have easily said that I was insulted when you said that my comment was bullshit as well.
karmakiller
LOL he's shorter than her.



@Javonn, at least Tim went about it in a more badass way than stealing the mic from some underage girl.

It's all a matter of opinion. I guess that's what gets me the most. Kanye does not believe what leaves his mouth is opinion only fact.
brooklyneast05
yeah kanye did a jerk move. but i agree with rebecca 100%. people are OVER EXAGGERATING how serious this was. he did not commit a crime. he didn't cheat on his wife. he didn't go up and punch taylor in the face. he didn't do something horrible that ruined anyone's life. he was a jerk and made himself look bad.

While you're at it, destroy all of your Robert Downy Jr. merchandise and refuse to see Iron Man 2. After all, he's done some pretty naughty things (carrying firearms, being intoxicated on illegal drugs, drunk driving, violating probation, and for breaking into a house he mistook for his own and so on).

uh highly unlikely. she's pretty damn popular-more among the preteen-teenagers, but obviously a lot more people know about her now.
