Ah, the face of racism in 2015 is just glorious, isn’t it? It never talks about race. But it discredits people of colour’s contribution to culture at the very core as “not art”.
Saying this is an act of “not liking rap music” is utterly insane. This is an act of cleverly veiled, yet no less disgusting racism. I don’t think there’s ever been a petition against a white artist of any genre of music that had to face this type of bullshit criticism, where someone launched a petition to ban Caribou from a festival because they “didn’t like electronic music”. Some of it doesn’t even have words in it!*
At the same time, more and more white people feel that they’re being increasingly discriminated against because they’re white. Because being called out on one’s bullshit has become synonymous with discriminating against someone.
I really need to move to an island where there’s no internet connection. I just can’t deal with this sorta crap anymore.
* as an aside, speaking as someone who considers The College Dropout and My beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy among his favourite albums of all time, I actually didn’t like Yeezus because while the production was stellar, I feel that Kanye’s (often misogynistic) lyrics weren’t on par with what was going on musically.

95% of the people who signed it aren't going to Glastonbury
Have you seen the comments on Glastonbury's status? They're fucking pathetic. Some people even called Kanye ridiculous.
This whole thing is just stupid, I fucking hate the UK.
OP is a copypasta from some reddit post right?
Who gives a shit. Kanye is a douchebag first and a black man second. His race has nothing to do with why most people hate him. Nobody wants him anywhere Because he's a shitty, stupid, no talent baby.
>>54427950
just a disgusting opinion
>Blacks attempt to enter mainstream culture while retaining their identity
>Jazz, civil rights, blossoming black business districts
>Blacks secede from mainstream society
>Race riots, antagonism towards and from whites, ghettos, hip hop
>>54428002
Its called musical talent.
Its not called racism.
Learn the difference.
>>54427939
>Hip hop isn't a form of rock
Yeah, I dislike Kanye but this whole gaggle of whiteys trying to replace him with some rock band is just...
Talk about "proving his fucking point"?
Kanye West's first half of his career was taking the main melody of other musicians work, looping it over a generic drumbeat and spitting shit-tier lyrics over it. A song like "Gone" is basically a glorified remix of Ottis Redding, made as painfully accessible and dumbed down as possible.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bbv8PYQD-0
Kanye's second half of his career is paying talented producers for their beats and then spitting shit-tier lyrics over them. He is a hack.
>>54427808
I am sure it has nothing to do with him being a talentless cunt who literally thinks he is Jesus.
>This is totally racist guys! It can only be because he's a black man!
That assumption is more racist than the petition itself.

not that i agree with this stupid petition, but why is it outrageous to call kanye ridiculous? I mean even if you appreciate his art some of the shit he's pulled is pretty ridiculous

Sounds like the opposite of racism to me, OP.

>sjws strawmen
>>54427808
It has nothing to do with race you delusional fuck. People just see him as the overrated mediocre artist he is, the fact that he thinks he's better than everyone else while keeping the whole douchebag image only adds fuel to the fire
>>54428122
>pretty ridiculous
you might even say its FUCKING RIDICULOUS
>>54427990
>Have you seen the comments on Glastonbury's status? They're fucking pathetic. Some people even called Kanye ridiculous.
Has Oasis ever been banned from a concert for behaving like assholes?

You're not wrong but that could be said about the majority of post-2000 hip hop.

man it's not the entire uk, i love kanye
and this petition is definitely motivated by 2 things:
1) racism
2) hurr durr le gay fish south park meme man
>>54427808
It's has nothing to do with race, Kanye West is just a talentless piece of shit.
I like how faggots like you like to make everything a race issue when it effects a black. Go fuck yerself

>not liking musician
>making a petition to cancel the musicians performance
It doesn't matter if the guy is black or white this is ridiculous. I don't like Kanye either, why would I try to cancel a concert other people might want to see?
>>54427808
I wouldn't pay to see kanye west live either
rather go see a rock band shred their asses off
>>54428781
yeah this is fucking retarded
did anyone ever do this to oasis either? the gallaghers are basically white kanyes and nobody ever bitched about them having a set
calling things like this racism detracts from incidents of REAL, covert, racism.
kanye west consistently makes statements and does things to put an asshat on himself. whether it's genuine or just for more publicity. this is what l i t e r a l l y happens to you, in life, if you do such things. it's not racism. the UK has *actual* racism issues. i watched a video where white soccer fans wouldn't let an african businessman onto a train. they literally pushed him out, over and over again. as far as i know, there has been no petition to stop that.
>>54427950

>>54427808
There was some petition just like this asking to cancel a Nickelback show, your point is invalidated.
Also fuck off. Go back to tumblr. The quicker everyone shuts their dumb fucking mouths about "racism" the sooner it will cease to be an issue.
>>54428922
welp i stand corrected.
So what you're saying is that it's impossible to (dis)like a black person for who he is, and people who claim to do exactly that MUST (dis)like that person for being black. That's pretty racist, bro.

you mean the majority of rap you listen to. to say rap became a genre with a predominantly would imply black audiences have a new big genre or just stopped listening to music. what actually happened is that most critically acclaimed rap strayed further away from popular rap. suburban whiteys are listening to the critically acclaimed and/or the poppier shit. most black people are listening to the rest

Both KRS One and Public Enemy have performed at that festival
Please tell how me they are racist? KRS and Public Enemy are pretty pro-black, Kanye is just a fool who rides momentum

Sometimes he just forgoes the "remix" part and just steals songs straight-up. A good example of this is "My Way Home", which is literally just a Gil Scott-Heron song with a slower tempo and a lower transposition.

So basically if I think Kanye is shit I'm a racist?
Because he is shitty, both as a musician, a rapper, and as a person.
I love how you can't even be critical of a black person anymore without being labelled a racist.

How is it even possible to be this blue-pilled?
