KANYE WEST - WEST MAKES RACIAL REMARKS

It is amazing to me how many folks seem to be missing the most offensive part of what he said. The fact that this dark skinned black man is saying basically if it weren't for race mixing there would be no female models attractive enough to appear in his or other black male recording artists videos is the issue. The word MUTT is not the issue. He is saying that Black women, who look like him mind you, without white or any other non-African ancestry are not attractive enough to be objects of beauty and desire. This is an age old problem deeply rooted in slavery and when ignored it keeps re-surfacing generation after generation. And this man is supposed to be the conscious voice of contempoary hip-hop? The same old light skinned/long haired debate won't die until it is discussed in it's proper context. Not only as a race issue but as a gender issue. As long as young men are convinced that a woman is more valuable when she is attractive, and what is considered attractive is shaped by a racist/sexist society, we will continue to stay here for centuries. House slaves and field slaves, old black hollywood. They believed that if Blacks were not light skinned (back then there were no distinctions made between "mutts" and Black folk. In fact the govnt still rules that one drop of Black blood makes you Black) they weren't fit to be on the screen. See when white is considered superior, the closer you are to it the more superior you are considered. So what I found shocking was discovering that Kanye West was validating a white supremacist argument. And if he did not realize that was what he was doing when he made the comment, he's even more lost.

This bastard is the equivalent of Kramer. If he has a problem with interracial relationships; why is he dating biracial women.
