re: #217 Sigma_x

My point is is that, when something like this is brought to attention, wing nuts pull out the old, “Yeah, but what about what KANYE WEST said?!”

It’s retarded.

Gingrich is a leading Republican figure.

Kanye West isn’t a leading figure in the Democratic party…but to my surprise, he isn’t exactly a ghetto rapper, either…from Wikipedia:

Kanye West was born in Atlanta, Georgia, where he lived with his parents. When he was three years old, his parents divorced, and he and his mother moved to Chicago, Illinois. His father was Ray West, a former Black Panther who was one of the first black photojournalists at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and is now a Christian counselor. West’s mother, Dr. Donda West, was a Professor of English at Clark Atlanta University, and the Chair of the English Department at Chicago State University before retiring to serve as West’s manager. He was raised in a middle-class background, attending Polaris High School in suburban Oak Lawn, Illinois after living in Chicago. West credits his feminine nature to being raised by his mother. When asked about his grades in high school, West replied, “I got A’s and B’s. And I’m not even frontin’”.
