Ok people, Kayne was right. Beyonce should have won that award. How do you win Best Video of the Year, and not win, Best Female Video? Sounds like an oxymoron to me, but that is not the point. The crux of the matter is Kayne West, like Rep. Joe Wilson from SC, had no respect and lacked class. Even Joe Jackson of all people snubbed Kayne for what he did, and Joe Jackson is the last person on earth to mentor someone on class after promoting his record company on the red carpet the day after Michael Jackson died.
One thing that I have learned working in education is that many young people lack a simple concept; that there is a proper time and place to share certain opinions. This whole notion of a proper time and place to express certain viewpoints has escaped the minds of many of our young people and that is what I feel happened to Kanye. This is not the first time- remember, “President Bush doesn’t care about black people!” Even if that were true, proclaiming that claim on live national TV at that particular time was wrong. In the bible, Ecclesiastes speaks of time. It goes on to declare that there is time to be silent and a time to speak. Walking on the stage and taking the microphone from Taylor (someone I have never heard before now) was wrong and distasteful.
We as young people must learn to use tact and know when we should speak and when we should be silent. Kayne now realizes that after being blasted by people all over this nation.
Proverbs 17:28
Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man offunderstanding.
Know when to speak and when to shut up- You don’t want to find yourself in a seat like this apologizing to a nation
