Please let Buddy come home
Here is Buddy (aka Sampson: A21804703, his name registered with Cook County), my foster dog. He has been in quarintine since February 22nd, as a result of an incident at my local vet office during a regular checkup, where he bit two of the vet techs. We are now waiting for his official court date to be given to us. He has been around strangers before many times and has never shown any signs of aggression. I have written statements from every organization that has experienced and handled Buddy, saying that he has posed no obvious threat to anyone that has come into contact with him. I don't want to lose him because of one visit to the vet office. He is part of our family and we will adopt him. We just want him to come home.
He has already fulfilled his mandatory 10 day quarantine at an animal hospital, however Cook County has put a hold on him forcing him to remain there until his court date, which has not been communicated to us yet. I spent nearly 7 hours with him on March 5th at the hospital just hanging out and being with him so he can have some normalcy back in his life. I have been trying to visit with him as much as possible.
Buddy was originally found chained up in a yard, in the dead of winter, outside and alone. He has frostbite on his elbows and tail and has just had a rough life. Despite all he has been through, he is still happy, polite and listens very well. All he needs is a tennis ball and a few treats and he is happy.
We love this guy and don't want to lose him. Cook County wants him destroyed. I am willing to accept any restrictions that may be imposed on the condition of his release. I will build whatever fence, post any sign, use a muzzle in public and with all future vet visits. Whatever it takes. I am fighting as hard as I can for him.
Buddy is running out of time and he needs all the help he can get.

Buddy's foster family is more than willing to commit to his adoption and will fully cooperate with any restrictions that will be put in place upon his release.

On the Commons seats spread-betting markets, the arena where gamblers are prepared to take big risks for potentially high rewards, all the activity has been on "buying" Liberal Democrat seats. The price has edged up 24 seats since the first debate and tonight stood at 96.
This is not for novices or those worried about their day-to-day budgets. If you "bought" at the current level and Clegg's party only come out with their 2005 total of 62 seats, you would lose the difference multiplied by your stake level. At £100 a point that would be £3,400. On the other hand, a Liberal Democrat total of 196 seats would see a profit of £10,000.
There is a less risky way of betting on a good Lib Dem performance. Ladbrokes and BetFred are offering 6/4 against the party securing 100 seats or more. Given the way most polls are moving, that looks quite good and worth a punt.

Posted in The Officials' View
During the Champions League games of last week Bobby tweeted the thought that it would be interesting to see how the television commentators would fare if they were allowed to referee a game every now and then.
Obviously the many upsides of this experiment appealed to me.
The hilarity of watching people who seem to have barely glanced at the laws of the game trying to make split second decisions would be one of them, as would the simple fact that we would no longer have to listen to them while the game was taking place.
But then I became more self-reflective and began to wonder how I would fare if I were given the stopwatch and whistle?
How would any of us who watch the game for enjoyment cope with unique pressure of the role?
The truth is that very few of us can can give an accurate or honest answer to that question because we have never actually experienced what it's like to be a referee.
Conversely I know for a fact that I would be a disaster playing the holding midfield role for Barcelona because I've kicked a ball about on a pitch and have had ample proof that I'm not as good as Mascherano, but I've never once tried to make a real live penalty decision at any level so have no idea how that feels or what the difficulties are.
Similarly the playing experience that the vast majority of fans have (no matter what the level) helps to inform them about other aspects of the game.
They know that a forward who has hit the ball high over the bar did so because he was leaning back, they know that a defender who has lost his man has done so because he was watching the ball and not the player.
Yet they are often willing to forgive these transgressions because they themselves have, in some small way, made the same mistakes.
But how many of us really know why a referee missed the pull of a shirt, or awarded a corner when replays clearly show that it was a goal-kick?
How many of us know the correct position that the referee should take at corner kicks or could say with certainty that a crucial decision was missed for a specific reason?
And because we don't know why these mistakes were made, because we can't empathise with the referee's predicament we assign their failure to simple incompetence rather than showing the generosity of spirit that we give to (much more highly paid) players.
How frustrating must it be for the modern-day match officials when so few of us actually have a clue what the role really involves and so many of us are so quick to condemn them?

Posted in DC United, Vancouver Whitecaps
Martin Rennie named an unchanged side for the 0-0 tie with DC United at BC Place on Saturday, and his starting eleven produced a familiar story.
The Whitecaps were once again solid in defence (they have yet to concede a goal this season) yet startlingly lacking in cohesion and ideas going forward.
The good news once again comes from….

Posted in English Premier League, General
It comes as no surprise that the battle for the English Premier League title has come down to a battle between the two Manchester clubs, after all United are always in the hunt and City have spent many millions in their bid to catch up with their neighbours.
Yet what is surprising is that for both teams that title is the only piece of silverware that they can win for the remainder of the season.
Both clubs being eliminated from the group stages of the Champions League seemed unlikely when the competition began yet that is exactly what happened, and following that exit there was, for many, the blithe assumption that they would march together towards unhindered Europa Cup "glory".
That glory though proved to be as elusive as Carlos Tevez when a late substitute is needed as both teams were completely outplayed in just their second tie of the competition.

This is a Fashionista Event. I was given a promotional item to review by 9thandElm.com to share my opinions about the website. All opinions are my own.
I love handmade and artisan goods. It's kinda my thing. However, I really dislike the major site where most people see their handmade and artisan goods. Now, there's an alternative site – 9thandElm.com
The folks at 9thandElm.com were nice enough to provide us some credit to test out the site. It was loaded with all different indie artisans and a select collection of each artisan's wares. There's lots of jewelry and accessories. There were infinity scarves and knitted scarves and regular fabric scarves. Handbags and purses in various styles abound. I even saw these super awesome upcycled liquor bottles that had been made into glasses, candles, and even a candy dish. I had planned to order from them, but I forgot, then they were gone.
Oh yeah…you've gotta order and make your decisions, as most items are available in limited quantities and only for a short time. Most brands are available for somewhere between 4 and 7 days, while others may be longer or shorter. I've also seen items sell out within a few minutes of the daily email being sent out.
I chose a few different items. The first was a Chevron patterned scarf and head wrap. The scarf was cute, but the headwrap didn't fit. It wasn't even close to fitting. In fact, I think it might have been child sized. I have a big head, but it's not that big, KWIM? I put these items somewhere for safe keeping, so when I come across them, I'll update the post with pics, too. Heh.
Later, I saw that there were some really fun statement necklaces. And some arm party bracelets. Oh! And some fun rayon scarves. Sooo…that's what I bought!
I also picked up a really fun Skull scarf. These are pretty popular, with even Alexander McQueen issuing his own version. The scarf was $12, which is a pretty decent price, especially for a full-sized rayon scarf.
I've seen the bracelets for upwards of $60 on other sites, and it was $14 on 9thandElm.com. Ummm…SCORE! Two complaints – One, the design of the bracelet makes it really hard to put on. The clasp has almost no play room, and is difficult to maneuver. I'm going to remove the clasp, add a little piece of chain, and add the clasp back on. Two: The bracelets say that they have leather and/or suede straps, and they're not. They're vinyl/plastic/pvc. It's okay, and likely the same as the $60 bracelets. Just be aware.
Finally, there's this awesome statement necklace. Rows of rhinestones and chain that are all a perfect color gradation. It needs to be lengthened just a bit, but that's my own preference. I wasn't sure about this necklace at first, but I took a leap of faith. And I am so glad that I did! I love this necklace, and it's so unlike something I would normally choose. It was under $20, too! You almost can't go wrong at that price.
Are you ready to try out 9thandElm.com for yourself? Enter to win a gift certificate in the Rafflecopter widget below! Open to the US & Canada.

E3 2014 – Steve's Day One Top 10
Okay, so we don't do lists here at NJoystic very often, but this was the easiest way for me to boil down all my excitement from yesterday's four big conferences. These were the ten games that I was most excited for, though the list could easily be three times as long. Without further adu, and in no particular order, here's my top 10 games from E3's first day.
Bloodborne is the long awaited project from Demon Souls developer From Software. It also looks like it could be the version of The Order that I actually want to play. The short teaser showed off a gritty, creepy London-esque city (described as the ancient city of Yharnam, see below) crawling with brutal beasts and wicked monsters. Wielding a blade that can switch from scythe to sword as well as something that resembled a steampunk-inspired rifle, the protagonist seems more than capable of holding his own.
The YouTube trailer gives this brief description of the game:
Face your fears as you search for answers in the ancient city of Yharnam, now cursed with a strange endemic illness spreading through the streets like wildfire. Danger, death and madness lurk around every corner of this dark and horrific world, and you must discover its darkest secrets in order to survive.

Checkout the new tutorial using the AVR ATmega168 with XBee wireless modules to create a very robust serial bootloader! We also posted a new GeoChron Blue GPS product, programmable oscillator, photocell, and a mux breakout.
I was thinking of a way to program microcontrollers without any special nor expensive hardware in the pc. This would work by sending the information to either one of the keyboard leds or by flickering the pc monitor. In the receiving side, a ldr or a photocell may take the results and program the device. This IS very slow (60 to 75bps), but may be enough for some applications.
The article states that you need Series 1 Xbees. However, it should also work with Series 2 Xbees if they are not set to broadcast mode.
This video inspired me to flash all my XBees so they can be instantly on after power cycling. If you want protection from glitchy connectors & a software reset capability for those frequent XBee lockups, you need to flash the configuration.
You've got a dead pixel on your face. :)
Ya, I saw that. I'm still struggling with the whole video thing. Notice how the video isn't cut or edited down? We're working on learning video editing…
I saw that too.
Splendid news for anyone who DIDN'T just spend the last two weeks of their free time hand-soldering CD74HC4067 ICs to your 28-SSOP boards! forehead palm-smack
Get 'em back in stock ASAP, because my time and the lead is worth more than the price of the breakouts or the shipping. Nice work, guys ;-)
I'd love to see someone take a GPS logger and correlate location + gas mileage + google maps. It would be interesting to see what roads are the worst gas traps. I'd do it if I had hobby budget on that scale…
Nice video. I also haven't seen the xbee handled, wish i would have gone with that rather than the serial modems I got…which I've never been able to get to work…
Perhaps my PC side software and/or tiny bootloader for the AVR can do this. I've run it across RS232, WiFi and Ethernet, and I have used XBees quite a bit.
The PC side bootloader has a lot of work, is GUI based, has built-in terminal, etc. I donated it some time ago and I think hundreds/thousands of people/schools are using it.
Grr login required. Have you got an open site that has more info?
Thanks for the video. Nice to put a face with the SparkFun legend!
Do you guys need any spread spectrum wireless Engineers there in Colorado? I won't post my website here, so I don't get accused of advertising on your site, but I am serious.
Keep up the good stuff! I check your site constantly for updates.
Thanks for keeping the thread clean. SS Engs at SparkFun? We're not really that advanced. We are applications engineers, just using off-the-shelf bits to build fun stuff. But Boulder is a hot bed for tech if you are serious about looking.
What about iTouch connectivity?
Excellent video demo Nathan:) This is the first time I've actually seen someone handle the Xbee, it's even smaller than I thought.

A couple of weeks ago, I asked had an interesting conversation with a senior airline executive in Asia. Here's how it went:
SN: What's the emotional motivation (not $) for your customers to fly your airline?
Airline exec: Erm…I'm not sure.
SN: Hmm…is there someone front-line I can speak with who'd know, like the check-in staff, or flight crew?
Airline exec: Actually, the airport crew is outsourced, so we have little inputs, and it's logistically tough to reach out to the crew.
What fascinated me the most were two things. One – I was talking to a (very) senior executive who didn't know what, beyond price, attracts his customers. And secondly, the fact that the airport crew is outsourced may be a short term gain ($$ savings) but a long term loss due to the lack of front line inputs.
Twitter to the rescue! Tweet. Tweet.
But market research need not be that difficult. Especially when tools like Twitter exist these days, which allow you to connect with anyone – inside or outside your company – to seek opinions, cheaply and in real-time. Twitter is the in-thing these days. An article in Forbes last week urged CEOs to tweet actively. Addison Schonland from IAG had an insightful podcast featuring three kings of airline twittering – Southwest, JetBlue and Alaska. And just yesterday, "Flying with Fish" blog wrote an article on the topic too. So, what's the fuss all about?
An airline executive I met for lunch earlier this week in New York City told me that she doesn't have the money or resources to spare for a dedicated effort like Twitter. Unless, it somehow could be linked to revenue. That got me thinking. And here's what came out – three ways of driving revenue from Twitter for airlines.
1. Special discounts on Twitter – acquire new fliers
Dell recently reported that it made $1 million off Twitter last year by releasing special offers to its followers. Those are some of the first ROI figures coming out of corporates on Twitter. That means, airlines too can make money by releasing special deals on Twitter before releasing them elsewhere. It's real-time. It often goes viral if done right. And it's simple and cheap too. This way, they increase their "catchment" area to people who would have not gone on their website or not be on the mailing list for automatic noticfication of offers.
2. Nurture existing customers into loyal fans – fly more often
Twitter is great when it comes to building relationships. I was speaking with Morgan Johnston (@jetblue) when he gave me a tour of JFK T5, and he mentioned that Twitter is a chance to connect with individual customers on a personal level. It's not the airline press release that's coming out on Twitter, but a person communicating with another in short blurbs. Add to that the power of DM (direct messages) and you have a platform for developing first time fliers into your loyal customer base, by constantly interacting with them, seeking their feedback and answering their queries.
3. Empower them to spread the word – backbone of Web 2.0
Web 2.0 puts word of mouth marketing on steroids. If someone feels that RT (re-tweeting) something will add value to his "followers", then he will do it. That means a whole lot of exposure for the initial messenger. If airlines can keep addding value to their customers through Twitter, they will share these stories (not just links) with their friends, especially when asked about it. So, it boils down to empowering the user to spread the word. And this is done by adding value to them, not just trying to push sales.
Overall, I feel Twitter is a great medium for airlines to tap on. Due to the fluctuating nature of the industry. Everything from weather related delays to baggage losses can be reported on Twitter and personal questions answered in real-time. And when it's linked to revenue, I'm sure things can work out sooner than later. What are your thoughts? Do you think airlines should invest in Twitter, and in these conditions? Let's hear it in the comments section.
P.S: If you're keen on learning how airlines are implementing Twitter, I highly recommend listening to the podcast on IAG, and also, I'd encourage you to follow me on Twitter (@simplifling)

Super's getting stronger
The rules of the game are changing for Super, with many Government reforms taking place over the coming years. They are the Federal Government's package of reforms, called StrongerSuper, which are designed to make Super better, fairer and more efficient.
Virgin Money has always been against the complexity of Super in Australia and we're proud to be one of the few brands that is already living so much of what the Government's Super reforms are all about.
The reforms include two very important changes:
- MySuper – making it easier and more transparent for people to compare default Super products. All Super funds will need to offer a low cost product for members who haven't made a choice.
- SuperStream– making processing Super transactions easier, faster and cheaper by introducing electronic payment systems and standardising data.
In line with the reforms, Virgin Money will take the opportunity to review Virgin Super. Every member will be informed of any changes via mail. We'll also keep this page updated with all the latest information so it's worth checking back here regularly over the coming months.
By 1 January 2014, all employers must pay contributions into a MySuper authorised product for any employee who has either not made a choice of fund or an investment option within the fund.
A MySuper product must be authorised by APRA and include:
- A single diversified investment option.
- Same fees for all – fees must be the same for all members and there must be no entry fees, adviser fees or commissions.
- Automatic Insurance – to ensure all members are protected, Automatic Death and Total & Permanent Disablement Insurance will be added to every account which members can tailor or opt-out completely.
At Virgin, we're proud to be one of the few brands that are already living so much of what the Government's Super reforms are all about in terms of the creation of a simple, low-cost default Super product in MySuper.
If you are a Virgin Super member and are in the LifeStage Tracker® – Balanced investment option (our current default option), then this already complies with most of the MySuper product rules. In the coming months, we're changing our default option's name to Super Essentials. We're also in the process of seeking MySuper authorisation and expect this to happen by the end of 2013.
Members in LifeStage Tracker® – Balanced option, will automatically be moved to Super Essentials.
If a member has any other type of investment option (LifeStage Tracker® – Aggressive or Select Your Own), they will be moved to Super Plus.
- All members will be contacted with details relating to their account before any changes take place.
- Rest assured all members will have the opportunity to review each offering and switch between products if they wish.
SuperStream aims to make processing Super transactions easier, faster and cheaper by introducing electronic payment systems. There's no action for you as an individual member of a Super fund, it just means that processing Super across the board will get faster and more efficient. We've included a snapshot of some of the changes in legislation in case you're interested:
- July 2013: the Super Guarantee contributions will increase from 9.00% to 9.25%.
- July 2013: employers will need to report the Super contributions actually made on employees payslips.
- July 2013: the upper age limit for paying super to an employee is being removed to encourage mature workers to remain in the workforce. You may need to make Super Guarantee Contributions for eligible employees aged 70+.
- Jan 2014: if an employee doesn't make a choice of fund or investment strategy within the default fund, employers will have to make all default payments to a MySuper compliant product. We expect Virgin Super Essentials to achieve MySuper authorisation later this year. Please keep checking this page for the latest updates.
The returns for 2012 have been announced and Virgin Super saw great returns across all investment options.

*Source: Atchison Consultants, 31 December 2012. Past performance is not an indicator of future performance. Net earnings are calculated after the deduction of applicable taxes and costs. The actual interest credited to your account will vary from the figures shown due to factors such as investment switches, cash flow, fees and insurance payments.
For the fourth year running, Virgin Super has been awarded a Gold Rating by independent superannuation research company, SuperRatings.
The verdict is in: a staggering 80% of Australians find the jargon used around Super confusing meaning they're potentially missing out on billions of dollars at retirement. 71% think that language is a barrier to managing their funds effectively. 9 out of 10 Aussies said they'd support a campaign to simplify Superannuation terminology - and that's exactly what we're doing.
Congratulations to M Vien from NSW who won the $1,000 pre-paid Visa card for updating his details with us.
For those of you that didn't win, you can still update your details with us to receive the latest news on your super account and how we can help you maximise your super savings.
To update your details, log onto your online account, or give us a call on 1300 652 770 between 8am and 6pm ESDT, weekdays.

Had a problem with shipping, took longer for some reason, but AutoAnything emailed me to let me know. The box was damaged so I checked everything out and no damage. The directions were good, the fit was good. The only problem was trying to get the straps tight under the seat, The buckles were kind of cheesy and I didn't pull too tight. They look good, hope they last for what they cost. Wish they made a shower cap for my center console.

- Health Issues (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/health-issues/)
- - Staph Infection (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/health-issues/467225-staph-infection.html)
Staph Infection
So frustrated right now. My old dog was diagnosed with dry eye (keratoconjunctivitis sicca) and I've been dosing his eyes with 4 ointments twice a day for the past few weeks. Now, his eyes are doing great and he's down to his Optimmune twice a day (for the rest of his life).
Now, my puppy (yes I still call him 'the puppy' .. probably will when he's 8 years old!) was diagnosed with a staph infection. He's on antibiotics for 3 weeks with a daily wash of the infected area with a medicated shampoo from the vet's. It has spread somewhat and he's pretty miserable right now. His appetite has bottomed out and I have to encourage him to eat what he does. He also is favoring one of his hind legs a bit, still uses it but not 100 percent. I'm scheduling x-rays for that.
Any suggestions about anything else I can do to make him comfortable or help his appetite? I've started feeding his food dry so it can be saved for later since his eating is so off. I've been mixing up a bit of canned with his supplements (Solid Gold Seameal, vitamin C, and coconut oil) and warm water to make a stew and he's eating that small amount just fine.
After all my work to get him to enjoy going to the vet's (frequent visits just for weighing and treats) he has decided that the vet is a 'bad thing' He doesn't mind going and he is fine until the vet goes to put him on the table. It started last time he was there for a leg injury. Now, I have to muzzle him and he snarls and growls through the exam. Once he's back down on the ground, he's fine and doesn't aggress toward any of the staff. Not fun. He weighed 88 lbs this visit.
Long story short .. I would appreciate any tips!
So why not exam him on the floor?
32 Attachment(s)
I've never had a vet put a full grown big dog on the exam table before. I would definitely ask them to examine him on the floor.
I wondered that myself. Maybe because he's young and strong he doesn't think it's a big deal? I'll ask him next time. I've been going to this office for years, in fact my parents' also used it. The old vet is mostly retired now, but they both have always put our GSDs on the table to exam them. I think at this point Varik isn't going to appreciate anything the vet does anymore, but it would be less stressful for him to be on the floor.
The vet we went to recently said that it "took the control away" that she didn't have to be protective, more neutral. It was the first time we visited this vet, not sure if I agree or not, but I thought it was interesting.
Back on topic, if anyone has any tips for making my pup more comfortable, I'd love to hear them. He's losing weight already and seems pretty mopey. He felt a bit warm last night as well. I'm encouraging him to drink/eat, but he's not that interested since he's not feeling well and his antibiotic may be affecting him as well.
get some of this
If he's on cephalexin, or any in that class, that can make some dogs very sick to their stomach. Mine would vomit within 20 minutes. You need a good probiotic, I would also try some slippery elm to help coat the stomach if there aren't any elm allergies.
I left a vet because he insisted on lifting my GSD up on the table. I had to take him to the chiropractor after each regular vet visit, it would mess him up.
Hope that staph infection is cleared up and all is well now. And how's your basic training going?
On the subject of tables, the veterinary hospital I use gives the option of either an exam with the large dog standing on the floor, or the dog can step onto an electric table at ground level and then with a flip of the switch, the table slowly rises to a higher level for exams.
my vet also has the table that the dogs get on in the lowered position and then raised.
as stated. the antibiotic can cause some side effects. check with your vet to if there is another that can also treat this infection. i would be using betadine to wash area and not a shampoo from the vet unless he has a fungus infection also.

If Pfizer Leaves NYC, Will It Start a Trend?
This week New York-based Pfizer announced plans to buy British drugmaker AstraZeneca, and then re-incorporate in Britain. The pharmaceutical giant will take advantage of lower corporate tax rates in the U.K. while keeping its Manhattan headquarters. It's a sign that the city could have trouble keeping other multinational corporations that currently call New York home.
Pfizer has deep roots in New York, reaching back to before the Civil War. As recently as 2003, it looked as if Pfizer's future in the city was bright. That year, the company committed to hire 2,000 new staff in exchange for a city subsidy package worth $46 million.
But in the last few years, Pfizer has paid back part of that subsidy as it's laid off workers, sold off real estate and retreated to its headquarters on East 42nd Street.
Today, just six percent of the company's global workforce is based in New York.
Erik Gordon, a professor of business at the University of Michigan, said high corporate tax rates explain Pfizer's choice to, in effect, renounce its American citizenship. The top U.S. corporate tax rate is 35 percent; in Britain it's 21 percent and drops to 20 percent next year.
"Increasingly, they're going to get lots more of their revenue outside the U.S. and they have to decide whether they can afford to have that revenue taxed at high U.S. rates even though it's actually being earned outside the U.S.," Gordon said.
Pfizer isn't the first U.S. corporation to pursue this strategy. But it's one of the biggest and best known.
Kathryn Wylde, CEO of the Partnership for New York City (which includes Pfizer), said she fears other companies will follow. "Every company in the city is looking now at, 'What is the cost of maintaining a large number of mid-level jobs in the city?'" Wylde said.
Over the last decade, the city's has lost 105,000 middle-income jobs, many of them at banks and other large corporations with a global workforce, Wylde said.
"Certainly we don't want to see a city where we only have the senior executives and we don't have the middle class," Wylde added.

Racism�s Double Standard, By Rudy Gersten
September 19, 2005
Kanye West is a racist. Not that this should come as a newsflash to anyone who has ever listened to his music. West�s new album Late Registration just debuted at number one on the billboard charts, selling 860,000 copies in its first week. But the press has largely given the hip hop star a pass for his outrageous comments during an NBC telethon for Hurricane Katrina victims. As most Americans now know, the hugely successful rapper claimed that the government was sending troops to New Orleans not to help those in need but to �shoot us� and accused President Bush of not caring about blacks. But the fact that West is himself a racist must not be overlooked, or, as is the case with the mainstream media, completely ignored.
You won�t find any criticism of West on MTV, which has aired numerous documentaries in the past attacking hate speech, including questioning white rapper Eminem�s anti-homosexual lyrics. But MTV and other outlets apparently have no problem with West�s referring to whites as �the devil� or his claim that when a drug dealer buys Jordans and a �crack head buy crack�the white man get paid.� Funny, I don�t recall getting any royalty checks from local crack sales last month.
In a hit song off West�s new album, he degrades a black man who leaves his woman for �a white girl.� And in a recent interview with Stuff Magazine, West said he doesn�t believe white people should be "allowed to use slang until it is at least a year old.� Say what? Seventy percent of hip hop albums are bought by whites. But apparently West believes the majority of his fans shouldn�t be allowed to sing along to his tunes.
Racial demagogues like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have always had a public forum. Their bigoted records are somehow irrelevant to the reporters assigned to cover them. Jackson compared the scene at the New Orleans Superdome to that of a �hull of a slave ship� and his comment went almost completely unchallenged in the press. There is something fundamentally wrong with how nearly all of the media ignores comments like these. The Kanye West example shows us what we already know, that if you are black and famous you have a license to say anything you want and you will never be held accountable for it.
During his bumbling rant on NBC, West actually called himself a hypocrite for complaining and said he went �shopping before giving a donation.� While NBC did attempt to disassociate itself from West�s assertion that the president of the United States does not care about black people, no one has bothered to ask the question of why Kanye West was invited on an NBC telethon to begin with. When a major television network gives a platform to someone who has made a career out of rapping about the evils of white people, no one should be surprised when he uses that opportunity to spew more of his pitiful ignorance.
West, the son of a Black Panther, is never criticized about his racist lyrics by any of the outlets that have helped make him famous. Silent on the issue are MTV, BET, hip hop radio stations, and even Time Magazine, whose recent cover story proclaimed West �the smartest man in pop music.� I can assure those at Time that Britney Spears, everyone�s favorite pop music airhead, knows more about the world than Kanye West. At least she likely doesn�t believe that �AIDS was a man made disease placed in Africa just like crack was placed in the black community to break up the Black Panther party,� as West told his fans during the Live 8 concerts this summer.
The double standard is understood throughout the country. When a famous white man says something racially insensitive, he is roundly criticized by all. And rightly so. There is absolutely no place for racism in society today. But when a famous black does the same, it�s acceptable. Racism should never be tolerated, whether you are a U.S. Senator or a rap star. Trent Lott knows this. As do David Duke, Jimmy the Greek, and John Rocker. They all found out the hard way. And Kanye West is no better. He should be held to the same standards they have been held to.
It�s time Americans treated black racism no different than white racism. There is simply no justification for either. So when a rapper preaches about the evils of white people, it�s time for us to cut his mic.
Rudy Gersten is Director of Operations at the Center for Equal Opportunity.
Very old, but I know that there was a topic recently about Kanye being racist. This article is incredibly biased, but you could definitely see some of the lyrics quoted as racist.
We've been through this so many times. Kanye is not a racist

Here I guess...
Chris Martin, Adam Levine, Madonna, Justin Vernon, and Daft Punk would disagree.
prod. crowded places
I can see why they think he's racist. But there is a thin line between being racist and being proud of your skin colour. I can't think of any time Kanye overstepped that line. Perhaps saying all white girls have fat asses is somewhat racist. That's like a white dude saying all niggas have big noses.
He's not a racist but its pretty obvious that white people are generally held to a higher standard with regards to wording things carefully (and I say that as a non-white person).
he's obviously a little racist. anyone who says otherwise is just stanning. i don't see what the big deal is - there's a ton of racist people on this very site. it doesn't affect my thoughts of his music.
Can i get my benz in da cluuuub

Recognize my life, Ridicule my fight
Somewhere where in the Kappa Sig house, with two hookers and some blow
Kanye is a little weird. It's like he's racist, but at the same time he's trying to embrace white culture. He's trying to put black people on to brands that are traditionally reserved for whites, he hangs out with plenty of whites, and he seems pretty level headed. But then he says things, that many black people would call a white person racist for, if they said something similar about black people.
Like if Anthony Kiedis or somebody said "Barack Obama doesn't care about white people." The whole black community on twitter would start calling him racist.
But then again Kanye West REALLY isn't articulate AT ALL when he speaks, so I doubt that he says what he truly means some of the times.

I feel like somehow your stupid for posting this article.
Mike Dean and co. say hi.
Kanye is just terrible in public forums. For someone who is such an eloquent lyricist, he really does himself a disservice when he tries to speak about something that isn't music related.
