Kanye West Allegedly Attacks Man Who Called K. Kardashian ‘N*gger Lover’

Yep, these types of people still exist in the 2010s:

Kanye West alleged got into a fight with a teenage at a Los Angeles chiropractor’s office after the man called him the N-word and Kim Kardashian a “N*gger Lover,” TMZ reports.

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.”

We have freedom of speech BUT NOT FREEDOM from the consequences of that speech.

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.

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?

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?
