Lesson: Its easy to keep a black man down

I know I usually amuse you all with tales of my escapades throughout the city; however today after my long hiatus I felt the need to address the public's singling out and castigation of Mr. Kanye West. Now I am not saying that what the man did was right, nor that he didn't deserve some heat, but I find it rather convienent that the media is focusing on his blog entries and his acts on that night and HAVE COMPLETELY DISREGARDED the mans heartfelt clearly distressed almost breakdown on the jay leno show two nights ago. Has everyone forgotten that Ms. West passed and Kanye was not able to or could not morn her passing. No one acknowledged his pain, nor gave the man some space. THIS WAS HIS MOTHER - whom he did not know was going in for an elective surgery and died on the table. I mean who would you feel? could you rally? now think of yourself with millions of eyes watching, encouraging you to be boisterous half expecting you to show out and act up... now could you juggle both saddness and pleasing the public?

Let us all remember that through out history the public has been fickle, and frankly inhumane towards artists - especially black men. It seems overall that they only get truely praised in death. Marvin Gaye loved and despised for his adultery - in death a recognized as the truely kind and sensitive soul he was; MJ do i have to really get in to what we did to that poor man and still there is NO proof he ever molested any boys not to mention his 1990 accuser admitted he was forced to tell lies about the King of Pop by his parents. And now Kanye --- some of you may say Kanye is no MJ he is no Marvin --- but this is my blog and i can compare who ever I want ! Anywho GIVE THE MAN A FREAKIN BREAK!! What do you want the man to do kill himself, he is embarrassed, sonned at the awards show by beyonce, and was almost crying on Jay Leno, not to mention he BLATANTLY said that HE IS HURTING AMERICA! further that he has never been able to morn his mom and that his hurt is spilling over.... has he not prostrated himself enough... i think that we need to examine ourselves and why we feel the need to so vehemently beat down the black man in favor of the young blond white woman. Dont get me wrong what he did was wrong and he should not have ruined Taylor Swifts moment but enough is enough already lets not make him into another Black man we use abuse, throw away, and then in death make an ICON. --- stop think about it -----

I know some of you are thinking this is soo not a racial thing at all - and maybe it is not blatantly racial but there are some undertones... to have everyone speak out on it and some to call him a "toobag" or "a waste" is WAY HARSH! But its a fail proof equation : Black man does something to upset white woman - black man is crucified.

political i know but this is how i see it...so why don't we pray for him to whatever god we recognize... why don't we ask that god to help him get better and to channel that creative energy that we the public so love him for into some positive healing for his sake and for ours because as many of you hate him today if he comes out with a banger tomorrow you will be back on his jock....
