Last night I was watching his VMA hissyfit (backstage) on YouTube - Broadcast Yourself. and I was seriously thinking that this guy has issues. I love the dude but seriously I sort of feel for him, he needs help.

I don't feel bad for any celebrity. They don't deserve pity.

He makes great music but uhh yeh he has some issues.

I swear something major happened in his childhood to make him like he is. My guess is either he was a spoiled brat, parents made him truly believe he was special (not just in their eyes) and pushed the idea that he would be the greatest entertainer at this time, or possibly he could've been abused. He's talked about having a porn and sex addiction. He said in one interview that he has to have sex 5-6 times a day.

And do you guys think he's racist toward whites? I think he does act and play the race card but I don't think he's really racist. My sister thinks he is.

Well, his mother died last year, that might still be affecting him. A lot of black people are racist, but aren't called on it, mainly because people are afraid to make things truly equal, because someone's going to say that it's 'unfair' somehow.

I still believe the only race that should be allowed to do ANYTHING in America without getting in trouble is Native Americans. They've been through more shit than the black people...and if you really study history, many Africans sold other Africans to the whites for slavery, they all werern't just hunted down...

Even Kanye mentioned that on "Life and Rhymes" that the African kings actually sold their own into slavery. And I agree with you on the Native Americans. I visited a reservation a couple of summers ago and was shocked that they lived in gov't trailers. That's what us white people call white/trailer trash but for some reason we consider it acceptable for the Native Americans to live in them and why do a lot of them still feel the need to live and work on the reservation? Why can't we accept the idea of a Native American in a 2-story house, apt, mansion, farmhouse, etc being our next door neighbor? I mean they make a lot of money with their casinos and tourism I would think they could afford a good house.

If I was a full blooded Cherokee on the reservation I'd rather live in the old style Native American housing then a FEMA esque trailer,

AND...if he'd think about it, Blacks haven't been the only race throughout history to be slaves...

True the Irish were slaves in Ireland and mistreated when they first came to America. I'm part Irish and you don't hear me bitching but one of the reasons we honor St. Patrick once a year is because he was a slave who led a revolution in Ireland to free the other slaves.

The Irish had a drunken monkey image when they came to America back in the 1800s Immigration wave, it was legal to not hire them and back then they didn't act like pussies when discriminating against people, they had signs in company windows saying "No Irish need apply" and there was even a song written back then with that slogan as the chorus. There was actual drawings displayed where an Irishman was displayed as monkey drinking.

And think about it, within the white community, alot of times redheads (mostly of Irish origin) are seen as not attractive. You know when South Park parodies the ginger-hair freak stereotype it's true. And I'm a strawberry blond, often I'm told I'm pretty but other times I'm not

And even I don't always find redheads attractive, when it comes to the two British royal princes, the blondish-brown haired William always catches my eye and I like him best (I love him

) and the redheaded Harry just recently started to catch my eye some

And speaking of slavery according to the bible, the Israelites were slaves to the Egyptians and most of us know of the "Joseph and the colored coat" story, he had a lot of brothers and a father who didn't seem to love him so they sold him into slavery to the Egyptians. And to my knowledge he wasn't black, he probably looked middle eastern.

There's this girl I know that a natural read head...and she...is...HOT. I wish she'd get naked for me... ;-;

Some do liike redheads but others hate them. It's kind of like, you either love them or hate them, no in between.
