Yep, these types of people still exist in the 2010s:
Kanye and Kim were at a Beverly Hills medical building when they were surrounded by photographers. In the middle of all of this, an unidentified 18-year-old allegedly said to Kim, F**k these fa**ot-ass n****rs, referring to the paparazzi. The reality TV star replied by telling him it was not appropriate to use the N-word. He allegedly responded by screaming, F**k you bitch. Just trying to help you. Shut up n****r lover, stupid slut.
....good for Kanye on this one (and Kim, for that matter). Hope he can clear this one in the courts.

(6,086 posts)with calling my all the lovely sobriquets this budding creep heaped onto Kanye's wife, I have to tell you that the little punk might not have come out of with ONLY a bruise or two. I'm not saying it's right but I DO understand. You have to envision this against the backdrop of what I'm ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY certain are INNUMERABLE racist threats and pejoratives they've received. Sorry but this was WAY over the top of "sticks & stones...".

Ecumenist
(6,086 posts)THREATENING TO MURDER you and a family member would NOT result in jail time, trust me because he reacted in kind to defend his wife. If someone mentions hijacking a plane, midflight and then get's beaten into a coma, they would be lauded NOT prosecuted. We have freedom of speech BUT NOT FREEDOM from the consequences of that speech.
Thanks for your opinion.

(56,177 posts)I'm sorry, but I don't believe anything K&K have to say...I am assuming Kanye got into an argument and his trash girlfriend and her "people" decided to create a story to make them look good..not buying one word either of them says about anything...if there's video, it's a differnt story, but just K&K telling this story reeks of disingenious media manipulation.

Apparently calling someone an N-word and slut are OK if the people you're doing it to are publicity hounds.

DesMoinesDem
(1,569 posts)because of someones speech. If there were actual death threats she should call the police, not her boyfriend to beat up someone. But I don't believe a word these pretentious narcissists say. They probably paid this kid to yell at them just so they could get in the news.

He asked for it, and Kanye was nice enough to give it to him.
DesMoinesDem
(1,569 posts)Kayne decided he would hand out the punishment for his perceived crime. If Kayne thought he deserved to die, then he deserved to die. It's that simple. This isn't a court. And that's the problem with your thinking.

You don't take the law into your hands in this country.
Sometimes you just have to be wronged to be right.
TeamPooka
(24,229 posts)Of the kid saying what they claimed he said?
This is the internet right?
That shit would be up on TMZ or something but there are no pics or video anywhere.
K&K can't walk across the street with me seeing video of it so where's the shots/video of this?
That's what I say..never, NEVER believe anything these two pieces of phlgem say.

A lot of men would sympathize with a man who beat up another man who makes racist remarks to his significant other.

(30,439 posts)cherokeeprogressive
(24,853 posts)the internet tough guys who are apparently stuck in the fifth grade, thinking that violence is the appropriate response to a simple insult.
I'm guessing that just like in the fifth grade, Yeezy had a few inches and a few pounds on the guy or... no confrontation. Either that or Yeezy's bodyguards were there, they were behind him, and they were strapped. Yeezy be a baaaad mu'fucka. Like you I guess, kickin' some racist ass, right?
What if the kid said something like "Hey TrailerTrashian! You got a fat ASS! Put some LIGHTS on that trailer!" and Yeezy punched him out? You'd be all over him like white on rice then too, right? Kickin' some hater ass?
I got in a fight over some shit an asshole said to me too. Then I graduated to sixth grade.
Good thing Yeezy ain't no racist and shit. Well I'm sure you've got more to say, so I'ma let you finish...

Are you currently unaware of the irony of such a statement on your part?

(24,853 posts)Being violently attacked for something that came out of your mouth and being punished for sodomizing, then slitting the throat of someone barely half your size?
I said I'd put him in a cage, give him a pill to end his life with (or not, his choice) and wash him off with a hose. That's ironic somehow?

(13,467 posts)Seriously, they are celebrities, but why are people allowed to harass them like that?
I feel the same about the Republicans who want anti-choicers to be able to harass anyone walking into a Planned Parenthood clinic. I do not believe harassment should be legal, free speech, but there has to be a limit at outright screeching, name-calling harassment surely.
Boudica the Lyoness
(2,899 posts)thinking it's okay for Kanye to be the judge jury and executioner, because some kid allegedly offended his girlfriend.
What if the kid was hit in the head by Kanye and died?
What if Kenye shot him....with a gun, would that be okay?
What if Kenye was white and a black kid said something really offensive to Kim, would you think it okay for a white Kenye to beat and maybe kill a black kid?
Just for the record; I believe in self defense and I have been called a n*gger lover before.
R B Garr
(16,954 posts)You can't go around inciting violence, especially with such hate speech as calling someone those kind of racist names to provoke violence.
I'm no Kanye fan at all. He should know better by now that he needs his entourage of bodyguards to remove someone like that POS from his presence so he doesn't have to deal with it, but that kid could easily face charges for that type of conduct.

(53,866 posts)sometimes it's best to remember that people are human, and not everything is about politics/policy.
Boudica the Lyoness
(2,899 posts)According to most of the above comments, it's okay to beat the shit out of someone for saying something you find offensive....as long as you are black.
But then, a Hispanic man should not be able to defend himself from a teenager, when that teenager who is smashing his head in, happens to be black.
Do you have to have been married to a black man, then later to a white man, and a child from both marriages, to see how racist this all is?
