I was watching a recap of the MTV VMAs and just had to laugh at Kanye West.
First he blamed MTV for Britney Spears's disastrous performance and then he went on to complain about how he should have been the openning act. He said it was because his skin wasn't white and he made too much money. (NOT an exact quote) However, Kanye was one of the nights special performances and featured alot of his new material.
His album was relased 9/11 and went on to sell almost a million copies??
Can he stop playing the race card? Or am I just being ignorant about the whole "black" thing?

1st week blog
How do you get news? Mostly from the Internet
How often? Everyday
What do you read and view both online and offline? Entertainment news
About how many hours a day or a week do you intentionally seek out news coverage? In between classes so about 3 hours total
And one last question: when you think about news media and their coverage of race or gender or sexualities or disabilities, what are your own assumptions? I think that the preconceptions/stereotyps of all of those topics have definately been perpetuated by the media.
