November 17. You knew it was coming. Kanye West seems to have put his foot in his mouth again. MediaTakeOut.com has learned that in an upcoming interview with Essence magazine, the hip hop star came down with a bad case of diarrhea of the mouth.

According to a person close to the Essence story, Kanye reportedly told the magazine, "If it wasn't for race mixing, there'd be no video girls."

Then, as if his first comment wasn't offensive enough, Kanye referred to biracial women as dogs. The rapper told, "Me and most of my friends like mutts a lot ... Yeah, in the hood they call 'em mutts."

	Baboon Rising	Isn't this the same Kanye West who said that George Bush hated balck people. Maybe Mr. Kanye West should move East, specifically Kenya. Then he could change his name to Kenya East. If he thinks Bush hates black people then, he doesn't deserve to be here in America as far as I'm concerned. What an idiot.

	Nevada Lights	No one's going to complain about this or make an example out Kenye because he has no value - he doesn't represent to a league of racists (the media) the white hood and cloak to which they can burn and rebuke in front of the rest of the world. Don Imus on the other hand - a white man who's cast from the village in shame after 40+ years of dedication makes for a perfect example of "look how un-racist we are, we're casting one of our own out" - it's the TYPICAL WAY WHITES DO THINGS. But the sad fact is that other people don't think like us whities - other people don't even reap from our carnivorous behaviors - they only learn to further victimize themselves to us and make everyone's lives a living hell of political propganda. The world would be a much better place (and safer for all) when whites stop attacking each other and start attacking the facts. The facts here are that Don Imus expressed his opinion using vocabulary brought to life by other Americans and he's been fired over it - that isn't free speech. ~Samantha Posted by Nevada Lights on Saturday, April 21, 2007 at 9:25 AM [Reply to this]

	Baboon Rising	Yeah, that's right. Although, fredom of speech is technically not protected int he work environment. It is a shame that Imus got fired for doing what he's always done. And in the nappy ho comment, he only was expressing language straight out of Ebonics 101. The black culture must change in order for them to gain respect by society. Because, they end up berating themselves with that kind of talk. The word "nigger or nigga" should be struck from their vocabulary. They can't engage in double standards anymore. The speech they use is an insult to their own race and an insult to blacks who don't engage in said speech or behaviour.

My friends, Charlene and Ranaje both would tell their kids they couldn't listen to that type of music. Two of the nicest people I ever knew. Great Mom's, great friends, great people! However - most of the people I know that listen to dirty rap are open to most anything. They don't seem to have many standards for themsleves. Such a sad thing too.....
