Kanye West is an actual genius, he knows it. and thats why White America hates him, they prefer Tavis and Lenas

Kimmel did everything Kanye kept explaining always happens to him, not being taken seriously as a black creative

theres a way to satirize pop culture icons and then theres 'come look at the black man trying to art! everyone look, ha ha'

this isn't just a silly sketch it's emblematic of a reaction Kanye has received his entire career

one thing White America can't abide is a poc who takes themselves seriously, worse, a creative black man who won't be excessively humble

Ayesha A. Siddiqi @pushinghoops
if your main beef w one of the biggest artists in the world is that he isnt 'humble', you're a racist. WHY should he be? name one reason.

its about the unwillingness to even engage Kanye, the impulse to dismiss his energy outright as "narcissism" and vanity

@pushinghoops his point about racism in high culture is an extremely smart one and it becomes "lol sweatpants".

I can't recall any famous person who hypes themselves this much (when not on stage/performing). Beatles said they were more famous than Jesus and got huge backlash. Kanye is immature because he keeps trying to TELL people that he is the greatest. If he truly was "the voice of this generation of this decade" he wouldn't need to tell everyone, would he? Does Gretzky or Jordan remind interviewers that he is the greatest to play the game? No, because self-promotion of greatness is an indicator of non-greatness.more2013-09-29T15:21:57.513Z

That being said, I still don't think it's nice when people are racist against white people either (#whiteness # whitemales). I know people will rage against my comment, because a white person complaining about racism is like someone complaining about stubbing their toe in a room full of amputees; it's always in bad taste. That doesn't mean that stubbing your toe doesn't hurt. I can honestly tell you that I think Kanye is a genius, he's so aware of the race/class issues in this country and is able to share that in such a poetic and remarkable way that there are very few people that I would consider his equal in that regard. Regardless of his genius, I don't like his arrogance. I can't speak for Kimmel, but MY PERSONAL opinion of his arrogance would not be any different no matter what race he was. Ayesha does raise some great points, but I think the generalization, that the only people that are rubbed the wrong way by his arrogance are racist, is off base. It may be that way for some people, but I don't think the majority of people who find it obnoxious are finding it that way because he's black. If Albert Einstein used to walk around yelling "I'm the smartest man that ever lived" I would think, "yeah, he was super smart, but incredibly arrogant at the same time."more2013-09-28T23:40:08.775Z
MashaneJust to clarify, not liking Kanye due to his arrogance is a sign of racism, stereotyping white teachers to say they are less than competent at their job isn't.2013-09-28T09:59:56.151Z
