Let's Boycott Kanye West
Posted on 12/07/2005 10:16:09 PM PST by springfieldillinoishunk
Remember when Kanye West said Bush hates black people? I'm sure he's gonna get nominated for some Grammys. The only way people can hear US talking not WEST is if we boycott his music. How could we notice the Dixie Chicks statement and NOT Kanye West? Let's treat him the way we did the Dixie Chicks!
TOPICS: Music/Entertainment
KEYWORDS: artist; blacks; bush; grammy; hate; kanyewest; neworleans; racism; rapper; springfieldilbunk; springfieldildrunk
Hope you all agree with me, start some activism. Boycott his music, burn his albums publicly, anything! Get OUR message heard!

How can I boycott something I would never buy anyway? And, I suspect you wont get many people here having to make that gut wrenching decision - "Should I buy, should I not".

Well, in my 58 plus years here on this old third rock, I've never once bought anything of Kanye West's. So... does that make me the First Boycotter here?

Asking Freepers to boycott Kanye West? Wow. Might as well ask us to boycott burning the flag or boycott spitting on US troops.
How do you boycott something you weren't goign to ahve anythign to do with anyway?

" start some activism."
Let us start with some FR rules first.
Rule 1: please don't post your vanities as news items even if you think they are really important.

Too late... The only thing West's statements did here was make his name recognizable. Before then, I doubt very many of us even knew who he was.

I say let's boycott him because I know of Free Republic members who've bought West propoganda, I mean albums.
To: springfieldillinoishunk
So, why don't you take it up with them then? Especially if you know who they are.

Because if anyone else knows anyone that also bought West propoganda then it is an issue. Happy holidays to you too.

burn his albums publicly, anything! Good Americans champion free speech, even if they don't like what's being said, and don't advocate things like record or book burnings.
He's got a right to his opinions, hopelessly stupid as they may be.

I used my Dixie Chicks CD for target practice. It was mine. I paid for it. I did not confiscate other peoples media and blow it to smithereens.

Not on my property.

Rule 1: please don't post your vanities as news items even if you think they are really important. How about if I take over this vanity with one of my own (I don't know who West is anyway).
Is it my imagination or are snack food companies reducing the salt on my favorite salty snacks? I bought some Sunshine cheese crackers - the regular kind - and they were so unsalty, the tasted like little cardboard chips! Same with some pretzels I had recently. There is a noticable reduction in the salt content of salty snacks. This is an outrage.
My blood pressure is 90/60. I could eat a salt lick every day and it wouldn't make a difference.
I'm going to write a letter to the Snack Food Lobby (no kidding - I've seen their office on King St in Alexandria, VA) and complain!
