It's that time where I bring out the passionate side of me back out.
So as you can tell with the title, who this is going to be about. "Victim" Kanye West...
Now, before I explain why our dear friend, Kanye is getting his own "special" post - the 5th anniversary of the MTV VMAs where Kanye interrupted Taylor Swift as she was getting her first VMA for Best Female Video. If you want a recap, here is the video of it.
Now, let us continue. Shall we? Kanye then goes on and finds two people still sitting and he looks at them and starts basically "taunting" (Don't like the word...too bad) them. Everyone even started booing and chanting "Stand up! Stand up!" at the two who couldn't. Kanye also said "Do you all want the show to continue or boo the people won't stand up." He spent four minutes, halting his show, just because people wouldn't but couldn't stand up, or even those who didn't want to stand up. He kept saying "If he's a wheelchair, then it's fine." but he wouldn't stop there. He had his security guard CONFIRM that he was in a wheelchair. Would you like to see the video? Here it is:
You can take the video however you want but watch it closely because everything I said above is what really happened.
Now. I'm not done. There are people out there who defend Kanye saying it was all just a "misunderstanding" and that he "apologized." Well newsflash, saying "It's fine" and then continuing the show is not apologizing. Also, it was NOT a misunderstanding. I watched the same video everyone else did. First, if I pay to see a show and if I was able to stand up, but didn't want to stand up then I wouldn't stand up just because someone who I PAYED to see, wanted me to stand up.
If you are to pay your own money to see someone "entertain" you, would you really stand up if you didn't want to? Like I said, if I could, I wouldn't. If I was everyone at the concert, I would've either sat down or walked out - not booing and making Kanye's ego even bigger.
Now, let's get back to the apologizing situation. Here's a hit about how to apologize. "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry for humiliating you in front of thousands of people." "I'm sorry to the audience for stopping my concert for stupid reasons." and so on. That's how you apologize. Sincerely apologize. Now say "It's fine" and then just continue on the show like nothing happened.
Now I know you are probably wondering why I put "victim" before Kanye West above before I started talking about everything. It's because Mr. Kanye "perfect" Kanye thinks he's the victim here. He thinks the media targets him. Well another newsflash - if you don't want the media to "target" you then stop opening your mouth and having these unnecessary rants.
A few days after the Sydney incident, he is now at another one of his shows where once again he stops his show midway so that he can rant about the media. This time it's for about five minutes. He claims "I'm a married Christian man with a family." Yeah, I can tell with your rants and your music. Idiot. Here is another video that you can watch which is the video where he "defends" himself and calls himself a target and tell the media to pick another one:
As you can see, he never apologizes about the incident. It's all about "me, me, me, me" and never once "I'm sorry that I did what I did." And he never does. Ok, he "apologized" for the Taylor Swift situation but we all know how that was...Not only was he defending himself, but so was his wife. Kim Kardashian-West (she deserves her own "special" post but that's for another time) tweeted "Its frustrating that something so awesome could be clouded by lies. Kanye never asked anyone in a wheel chair to stand up & the audience videos show that. He asked everyone to stand up & dance UNLESS they were in a wheel chair." Well then, she and I must not be watching the same videos and once again he never said "unless they were in a wheel chair," he said " Unless you got a handicap pass and you get special parking and s**t," which is a HUGE difference.
There is more that I can say about this situation but I believe someone else had written a great thing to this and that was Harshada Rajani who wrote an open letter to Kanye. Everyone should read it and share it!
Now, I think that's all so far I can say about this. Like I said, there is more that I can say to this but for right now, this is all I have.
If you have defended Kanye, I hope you rethink who you are defending because you should be defending the fans, not the "artist" who claims that he's the greatest thing that God has created, which he isn't at all. "Genius," "Jesus," "God," "President," and whatever else he calls himself is not who Kanye is. He is a narcissist, idiot, moron and is self-absorbed and I can tell you that you will never see me buy anything that has something to do with him. (Also, I rarely call people names so you know that I'm serious about this)
I hope others follow lead because that is the only way you can prove to someone that enough is enough.
Feel free to leave a comment to this, whether you agree or disagree.
Until Next Time,
