WEST REVEALS RACIAL LINES IN SLANG USE

Hip-hop star KANYE WEST is advising his white counterparts that they can only use certain slang terms when they're out of style for black people.

The JESUS WALKS rapper - who recently charged that US President GEORGE W BUSH "doesn't care" about African Americans - believes that certain slang words should only be able to cross racial barriers when they're no longer in style for black people.

He says, "I think white people are allowed to say 'bling'. They are allowed to say old-school black slang, like 'hottie' and 'homie'.

"Actually, I do not think that (white people) are allowed to use slang until it is at least a year old. If you say a slang word too early, it's like you're trying to be black. So as long as the slang is a little played out, you're all good."

Does he NOT want to have a career anymore?

Where are his managers when he's saying this stuff? I mean seriously whats next?

I was surprised to see West performing on that concert they had, I believe Saturday? on all music stations about the Hurricane. I was shocked to see him because of the comments he made, i was certain they'd pull him from the lineup of performers that night. But then again, I guess you couldn't because even though what he said was wrong you really couldnt do anything because its freedom of speech, right?

what this hood rat doesnt understand is look at the people who listen to his music. African Americans make up a minority of the U.S. I believe its around 13-20% if i am not mistaken. How many white male or females bought his album in the past year? I would guess that over 50-60% of his income was because of "whitey". Now look at the political stance he is made, about 55% of America is Republican. Take that away from him too. So now he has limited his entire sales to African American and non republicans.

i didnt mean nothing by that at all, cause i know you personally and you are one of the few people i check up on every weekend, keep your head up by the way, i know you guys got a new coach and a new system to learn.

but i am just really disappointed with the comments he has made.
