It's like Kanye West at the MTV awards. He walks on stage, takes the mike from the woman who won the award, and declares that it should go to the sister Beyonce.

And WHY did he do that?

I can't uncover any evidence that he and Beyonce have some kind of special relationship, although they did play Connect 4 against each other a couple of years ago.

To which I can only reasonably conclude: West did what he did because Taylor Swift is WHITE and Beyonce is BLACK.

In other words, Kanye West isn't only a jackass. As far as I can see, he's a RACIST jackass.

THAT is the elephant in the room that nobody's talking about.

Contrast West's inexcusable behavior with the kind behavior of Beyonce herself, and of Beyonce's father - who reportedly rushed backstage to comfort Swift.

Exactly. West is a RACIST.
