Kanye West Banned From Haiti Telethon

Yep I must agree he is a Dope.

"rez", he gotta have a mind to start with before he can speak it! He is a stupid, arrogant, entertainer trying to walk in the shoes of previous entertainers that think that they S**t, don't stink and they are better than everyone else. He is a punk and so are his fans!

25 years ago. Let it go.

GREAT PIECE!!! BRAVO, very cool. tottally rad. mick jagg'ed never get banned. hell, there'd be an Uproar. but some black dude getting banned from trying to help: who cares, right? ooooh well, i just hope they make an ass load of cash for the haitians.

LOL!

You know, deep down inside, I knew someone was going to do that.

"Haiti, I'm really happy for you, and I'm gonna let you finish, but Beyonce's booty had one of the best shaking of all time!"

He does not have a mind. Just a big mouth and outsized ego! You could put his brain in a walnut shell and have room left over.

Kind of like some of the people posting on this thread!

Very well put, Dave- although I don't know about the word "forgive." Good point.

In any event, the fact that they could have told him to pre-record his message and thereby retain some portion of his drawing power definitely makes this seem punitive/political rather than @ the task at hand. Alternately, what's to stop Kanye and his supporters to create another option to garner support?...

LOL.

you might have something there.

nobody is saying they don't want the help or resources kanye west could potentially provide, they're saying they don't want his ridiculous opinions on a charity telethon (again). obviously you wouldn't say no if he tried to rescue you from drowning, but if he pulled some "i'mma save you, but jack from titantic had one of the best dying-in-water scenes of all time" shit i'd tell him where to go.

tomindeed,

I undeerstand your point, but still I don't like it. It carries a nasty ring.Our state and government correctional facilities will allow prisoners to come out during the day on roads , and the highways, and they used to make them come out during during major dangerous flooding along the Mississippi River, and tornado disasters, now they want to pick and choose who's help they'll accept. I can't stand Kanye West, and George Clooney is one of my favorite actors in Hollywood, but I've lost some respect for him on this one. Shame on him. When do people start trying to forgive Kanye by giving him a chance to reconcile with the public ? He hurt Taylor Smith deeply, and he made an ass out of himself AGAIN. He didn't steal anything, he shoot anybody, cheat on his dying wife, con anybody out of their homes or none of that. You guys are giving the TV power to influence your god given rights to make decisions for yourself as to who you should accept and who you should hate.

[ nobody is saying they don't want the help or resources kanye west could potentially provide ]

That's just what they're saying. That don't want him around at all, because they feel that he can't be trusted. They could handle that if in fact they really wanted to but, they just don't want Kanye West around. In the face of death, that's a real ugly message.

Kanye needs to find someone who accept his help.. He should call Wycliffe John.

John Edwards is down their and no one is complaining about that. Maybe John will take him on.This is wrong.

You know something? This proves that being a loudmouthed, arrogant, narcissist, has it's rewards. "Keith" you are apologosing him for one and only one reason, and you know and we do too.

LOONEY

There you go with that crap that your mouth is full of. I'm not apologizing for Kanye West. If you took time and read my comments, you'll see that I don't even like him. I've never like Kanye West.The reason that you're talking about is race. That's what you're suggesting. That's what you always do. You can't help but try to turn everything and anything into a race issue. Your mind is still stuck in South Mississippi, where you were born.

If you check my posts, you'll see that I just did a piece on Barack Obama, who, the last time that I checked, was Black. I quoted statements from Bernice King where she said that she was extremely critical of him regarding some issue of poverty. I AGREED WITH HER.The problem lies in your narrow-mind. You don't think that Black people can be objective when it comes to being critical of other Black people. That's called prejudice (pre-judging). You're not a mind reader.You really need some help.

I'll say it again.If George Clooney doesn't want Kanye West on his team, Then Kanye should find another team to work with. The Haitian community certainly won't turn him away for sure.

Their hearts are not feel with hate.

BTW, JonRaymond, Lifestudent, Ari_liston and several others agree with me, but you insist on following me around. I'm pleased and happy to know that you've given me the power to rent space in your little mind for free. All that you do is think about be me.

I must be great, no, I am great.
WOW WEE !!!

I never mentioned race,"Keith" what are you going on about? And what does John Edwards, Mick Jagger, Elton John and Tina Turner have to do with Kanye West. Tina Turner was beaten like a dog and treated like a whore by one man, "Ike Turner". These unrelated musings puzzle me. As far as me tracking your posts; that is a ridiculous assertation. I read almost every post on Current and certainly have no desire or need to follow your comments. However, I do reserve to right to comment on the issues that attract my attention. It does appears that our interests often coincide, but I am not on a witch hunt. However, I do not agree with many of your comments as they seem prejudicial and in most cases off subject, thus I enjoy commenting to refute some of your wild ass theories.

You didn't have to mention race. You're suggesting race like you always do,as to why you think that I'm defending Kanye, while I'm not defending him.I choose not to crucify him. I used Mick Jagger & Tina Turner as an example an example of a double standard, but let's get past that.

MoonLoon, personally I don't believe that you want to debate anything. All of your comments always have a personal slant attached to them ,(I" do not agree with many of your comments as they seem prejudicial and in most cases off subject, thus I enjoy commenting to refute some of your wild ass theories".). That being said, I try my best to stay as far from you as I can, because I truly don't care what you think about anything. I don't like what you represent and you're entitled to be who you are. Personally, I don't think that you ever make sense, but I don't follow you around trying to tell you how to think or change your mind about anything, because I don't want to have ANYTHING AT ALL to do with you period.Because you refuse to stick to the issues and you never make sense, go and bother someone else please.

Have a good life.

Keithponder: You seem to be a truly delusional person. But I guess I am making this about race, also, right? I have no idea who you are and don't care.

Who gives a shit about Kanye West? Why is this story even newsworthy?
If you want to play victim, find something to center your anguish around other than the fact that Kanye West was or was not on some telethon.

Is this the worst of your troubles? Get on an airplane and fly your ass to Haiti if you want to help so badly instead of bitching about something purely ignorant.

It seems that a lot of people get on this site and get all whacked out on PCP or something and then go typing away about random drivel that is perfectly meaningless. You have that down to an art. Congrats.

Sadly funny!

They have a lot in common with the U.S. government.

He doesn't care about anybody, let alone black people. Silly little guy.

Mother Earth does not hate nor love anything or anyone she just provides for those that are here. She may provide water and food one moment then destroy all you have the next. This has been happening long before recorded time.
