Do you think we’ll be seeing any columns from Maureen Dowd or Entertainment Weekly pointing out racial undertones in the moment, mentioning Kanye’s history of discussing race or pointing out that the times he’s rudely interrupted a televised moment have all involved white people? Such as when he lost the Best New Artist award to, as he called her, “Redneck Woman” Gretchen Wilson, and stormed out of the American Music Awards in protest? When do you think we’ll hear from Gloria Steinem or Gloria Allred defending Taylor as a victim of male domination (especially since MTV didn’t let her finish her speech because Kanye had caused her to run out of time), mentioning the history of female treatment in hip hop music? Will the Southern Defense Coalition or the White Anti-Defamation League be making any statements? It is a really good post and the whiteys amongst us want to know where the outrage is. Why is there no public outcry about this obviously racist attack on a teenaged girl. Hate Speech. Nothing more or less. Kanye West gets a pass 'cause he's black. Obama gets a pass 'cause he's black. OMG, I think I see a pattern developing...
