Pompous Jerks

Last night at the MTV video awards Kanye West showed the world what a dumb ass he is. Unfortunately stupid, overbearing acts like his don’t just damage his own reputation, they also give the 21st century fascists and racists ammunition. Like a gift on a plate. Kanye West certainly deserves the award for arrogant jerk of the year. West’s pompous behavior, and Beyonce’s smiling implicit approval, damage the reputation of all black Americans. Even the ever polite gentleman President Obama called Kanye West a jackass (off the record).

West is in close competition with Joe Wilson, the rude white Congressman from South Carolina who has besmirched the reputation of all southerners. In the past Southerners were known for their kindness, politeness, and good manners. This particular loud-mouthed Southerner has shown that there are also plenty of ignorant red necks who are uncouth and uncivilized.
