Quote Of The Day
Filed under: Quote of the Day > Kanye West
“I’m a pop enigma. I live and breathe every element in life. I rock a bespoke suit and I go to Harold’s for fried chicken. It’s all these things at once, because, as a tastemaker, I find the best of everything. There’s certain things that black people are the best at and certain things that white people are the best at. Whatever we as black people are the best at, I’m a go get that. Like, on Christmas I don’t want any food that tastes white. And when I go to purchase a house, I don’t want my credit to look black."

He's a fucking dumb ass… I feel bad that his mom died but he is NOT a pop enigma and he needs to shut the fuck up.

KANYE WEST mr. REAL TALK E'REDAY ALL DAY…
I'm in the Fashion Industry and I know EXACTLY what he is sayn…
REAL FCUKIN TALK RIGHT THERE
i wish i were going to some black people's house on christmas. i'm white.
their food is better. it'll clog your arteries right there, but it's better.
white people…they're STIFF, man, stiff.
i am offended that a black man is saying that nonsense. Then I remember that he is an uneducated man that is able to appeal to people with his so called rapping skills…(you can be my black kate moss tonight??)
I hope that non blacks don't believe this garbage. All races have people with bad credit or ppl that are poor….I wish I could hit him over the head with a bottle because he is so….UH dumb, stupid, ignorant
Kanye….stfu please!!!
Wow. What a little bitch. Someone needs to hold up a mirror to him because it sounds like he has way too may "YES" people around him.
HAHHAHAHA. That is hilarious.
Racist asshole. Replace white with black and there would be a media fury like you've never seen.
RACIST??!?!?!?
NO.NO.NO YOU GUYS ARE MISSING THE POINT.
IT'S CALLED professionalism!!!!!!! and knowing when,where and how to act .
It's something blacks have dealt with for YEARS….
and WHITE KIDS do it now too…EVER heard of a wigger…same thing..

Re: Ethnic Girl –
AMEN!! he is just perpetuating a stereotype and he is probably so uneducated or "above it all" that he doesn't know (or care ??) what he is doing. If i had his album, i'd burn it but I don't support that jack ass
This is guy is a genious. He's not scared to tell the truth.

"Damn it, Mom! These sweet potatoes taste completely WHITE! Thanks for ruining Christmas!"
What-the fuck-ever. He needs to get over himself and his race. Its people like him who soak themselves in race relations that keep segregation a reality in this country - people who think some foods are 'white' and don't want their credit to look 'black'. What a load of complete bullshit. He wants his race to get ahead? Get rid of BET, Miss Black America, Jet magazine, etc. Cry cry cry for 'unity' and then pointedly differentiate yourselves from the rest of America. Become an AMERICAN, not and African-American.
as a communications major:
can this boy sound more ignorant and racist all at the same time?
choose your words carefully bro, youre under scrutiny 24/7. keep on deviding people… it'll keep on fueling the injustices of this nation.
Re: MaryG – this is not ebonics. Its english. learn it.
what is up with this guy and his huge point to be black..
i just dont get it..
Re: MISS LOLA –
WTF are you talking about Miss Lols?! Like somebody else said, if you reversed "black" and "white" in that quote, and if it came out of the mouth of a white star, the outrage would be tremendous. Al Sharpton would be up in arms.
Professionalism…..wtf?
OOOOkaaay….yea…I'm black….and I see what the man is sayin…it is slightly true and extremely unfortunate….and I say this because I know the statistics…but for him to be a celebrity and to say something like this is sad. You know we've come a long way and still have a way to go why would you knock you're own people down…at first I laughed and then I'm like hold on man!!!!….dont say it on Perezhilton.com…keep that in the circle…freakin ass!!!
Thanks Kanye for setting the black race back with such an ignorant comment
More like a pop enema! Fuckin' loser! Do something original you fucking racist ignorant waste of flesh.
that makes no sense "food taste white"? if he is talking about soul food or southern food, there is plenty of non-black people that eat both. it's not cool that is stereotyping. cant well all just leave in peace? one god made all of us.
HATE TO SAY IT BUT KANYE'S RACIST. JUST EVEN CATEGORIZING CERTAIN THINGS THAT BLACK PEOPLE ARE BETTER AT THAN WHITE PEOPLE, OR VICE VERSA IS A CLEAR DISCRIMINATORY LINE DRAWN BASED ON RACE WHICH EQUALS FLAT OUT RACISM!!! IMAGINE IF A WHITE "ARTIST" (and i use the term loosely) HAD SAID THESE SAME THINGS. AL SHARPTON AND JESSE JACKSON WOULD BE ON HIS ASS!!!
I thought that after the death of his mother he would become a little more humble, but no. Not surprised - this is the same guy who was back on tour just a week later and now he's promoting himself in interviews again. Why anyone would buy his music I have no idea.
This is a completely racist comment on Kanye West's part. It's unfortunate to know that West thinks a person's skills come from his/her skin color instead of hard work and knowledge.
Maybe instead of discriminating entire groups of people he can work on his music.
When he stops using the genius of other music artists to sell his bland, mediocre ideas I might think about buying one of his albums.
NIGGA PLEASE

Maybe his Mom should have gone to a "White" doctor? Dumb ass!
…and THAT quote is what we call a humdinger.
Clever, sassy, satire at its finest.
I somehow love him more for his honesty and wit. At least it's real.

Oh Kanye you amuse me so
so basically kanye is stating that black people have bad credit…wow thanks alot kanye for furthering the stereotype, you sit up there and complain about racism and then make that racist ass statement. i'm black and you dont even know how offended i am…and seriously what the fuck does "white" food tastes like?? i mean does he even realize how ignorant he sounds???
My God he's an idiot.
My God he's an idiot.
He is a pop enema!
Why didn't he get a Jew doctor for his Mommy?
exactly
,
his momma shoulda gone to a WHITE DOCTOR, because that what white man does better?
,
and then ,
,
BLACK people excuse me… monkeys , should stick to what MONKEYS DO BEST … jump around "dance" and scream intelligible sounds "rap" and get paid for it "bananas" ($$$) or if they dont get paid, the monkey goes ape shit and bites white man (giving aids),
,
thanks black people… and monkeys.
This wanna-be is STILL around? Where's Chuck D when you need him? Kanye is a punk bitch who goes around whining about losing out on cheesy awards, his so-called rhymes are THE most pedantic piles of tripe sent across the airwaves since Vanilla Ice, and lord knows he owes his fame and fortune to the white suburbanite little bboy-impersonators who think they're listening to something authentic.
I officially do not feel sorry for him after the loss of his mother. I'm black and agree with nothing this clown has to say. He doesn't even know how ignorant he is.
Chow Down Black Meal
Keep My Check Book White, For Real
Need White Bitch Like Seal
gosh i try to like him so much, but he is just so stupid! his music is good though. DAFT PUNK is better though.
Re: fkin monkeys want it all –
word up!
Re: simone –
oh! oh! I know this one! White food tastes like…rice and potatoes and wonder bread…and….flour and sugar….
(why oh why do I have to be the smart one in this thread?)
Re: Tiffany –
…..and salt and powdered sugar….and sour cream….and baking soda….I'm making a list now….
It may be subtle, but I can see racism in a fucking blizzard.
Although it's wrong, but this quote makes me glad for all the pain he has gone through this month.
Kanye is a rapper, not an intellect, just a guy talking trash
black meal just doesnt sound appetizing…
what do u eat?
I hope he choke in horse dick!
kanye gets very emotional and he gets passionate with his wordings, gota love him for keepin it real all the time!
