Okay, I want to support Kanye with his socially conscious music thing and his super catchy tunes but the guy is so frickin misogynistic. In the same song in which he is making a case against diamond trade that supports warfare in Africa, he is hating on women. In songs in which he is talking about the plight of the black man and the poor man, he is hating on women. And Golddigger, which is just SO DAMN CATCHY, is just disgusting. And come on, how much did I love him for "George Bush doesn't care about black people." That was such a fantastic moment. But then, then he does this??? Fuck you, Kanye, and your hypocritical bullshit. You can't raise up one while you put down the other. I mean sure, you can fight against racism without fighting against all other forms of discrimination but you can't fight against racism while actively promoting other forms of discrimination. All forms of oppression are linked and serve the same purpose, and when you support one, you support them all. So stand up against all oppression, Kanye, or sit your ass back down. Asshole.
