Sorry Kanye, but it's Your Turn to Cry.

If there were a big hole that would swallow anyone, I would push Kanye West into it. I would do this because he is very selfish and disrespectful. He doesn’t know how to act or when the right times to share his opinions are. He needs to be taught common courtesy and manners. His actions lead to so much drama and controversies and in today’s society, we don’t need it.

After the 2009 Music Video Awards, I have lost all respect for Kanye West. He rudely interrupted Taylor Swift as she was giving her speech. He went on stage and took the microphone from her and said that Beyonce had the best music video of all time. He ruined her moment. The look on Taylor Swift’s face was very sad to see. She looked like she was about to cry. This totally embarrassed her and Kanye had no right to do so. This was her first Video Music Award and she deserved it just as much as the rest of the winners of that night did. Kanye made it seem like she didn’t deserve the award and that her video was terrible. She is just a young girl and Kanye should not have done what he did. What he did that night was very arrogant and ignorant.

The value that led me to this decision is respect. Kanye West has no respect for anyone but himself. He didn’t respect Taylor Swift as she was giving her speech. He didn’t think about the consequences of his actions and how hurt Taylor Swift could have been. All he cares about is himself. If this happened to him, he would probably get mad. The fact that he had an excuse for what he did, doesn’t make it any better. His excuse was that he was drunk. Which is the other reason that leads me to this decision. Just because he was under the influence still doesn’t give him the right to do such a thing. There are so many people who use the “I was drunk…” excuse and think that they could get away with doing bad things. If a guy was drunk and physically abused his wife and he used that as an excuse for doing so, would you let him off the chain? Would you let Kanye West off the chain, even though it’s not as serious?
