Basically, though, he's wrong. Kanye, though his premise is incorrect, is right because there are plenty of people who AGREE with him. Percieved wrongs are still wrongs. No one felt bad making peasants pay taxes, but that didn't mean that the revolutionaries didn't guillotine their asses.

The sad thing here, is that people actually assume that Kanye knows what the hell he's talking about. For some reason, the widespread logic is that fame=intelligence; when it has been shown in reality to have an almost negative correlation.

This is why I have decided that when I eventually become famous, I will use this associative power over the idiot masses to have them doing the chicken dance in leiderhosen. That way, we'll be able to easily identify those whose voting rights should be suspended.

But I disagree; most people know Kanye doesn't really know what he's talking about. I.e., People are addicted to gossip magazines, but they know the mags are silly. I think people agree with his sentiment if not his facts. And as far as speaking to the black experience in the US, Kanye knows what he's talking about in a way that I cannot.

The people Kanye speaks to probably have no idea he's an idiot, or he wouldn't have been invited on TV. Furthermore, his race is not a qualifier for expert status on race policy in America. Just because I'm part of the healthcare industry, doesn't mean I'm qualified to give any kind of treatment.

Health care and racial experiences are different, though. Kanye wasn't giving treatment, he was stating his opinion. And he wasn't invited by people who value his opinion, either, he was invited to read a script. I'm not agreeting with him, but you can't just call him an idiot and be done with it, because plenty of people think he's right. You have to prove him wrong.

Oh,no. Definitely not. You don't prove a negative. Kanye has to prove that he's right. Until then, he's an idiot.
