Kanye West just HAD to wear those gloves, didn't he?

[TomInTib]

freepers gonna love that crap.

Our whole effort is going to run into the ditch because of mishandling just about everything.

We need better management.

[Kerrytravelers]

1. Kanye is running for office? We're not allowed to wear gloves now?

Wow. Keep me up on the rules!

;)

[TomInTib]

4. On teevee (Grammys) and indooors with his shirt unbuttoned to his

pants? All at once?

You know what I mean.

I will guarantee you fr will be all over this.

[Kerrytravelers]

6. I'm just kidding with you!

fr is already bitching!

12. So?

[Kerrytravelers]

28. Well, I don't really care, but our OP here is mighty concerned.

:P

[Mr_Spock]

15. Darn, can you imagine FR not liking someone that you like

I'm not sure I could deal with that :rofl:

[Stephanie]

2. So?

[Kerrytravelers]

81. I like your method. Just ask "so" to everything.

This will be very helpful in the future when my students start tatteling. I'll just ask "so.":)
I can't wait to see their shocked reactions! :rofl:


Edited to add smilies so you wouldn't think I was trying to be a bitch!

83. To stick up for Stephanie

She was using my new method..lol

84. Oh, I wasn't picking on Stephanie.

I knew I had seen that before. It was you! I love it! Just respond "so." I mean really, how can you argue with that! I love it!

[johnnie]

85. I didn't think you were picking on her

I put the "lol" and thought it might soften up my response. :)

[Kerrytravelers]

91. Ooopsss.. I missed the lol!

So?


:P

[Caution]

3. what the hell are you talking about?

since when is Kanye West a part of any form of movement? Since when do the grammys have anything to do with an organized political movement by the left?

[TomInTib]

8. Kanye provided the toehold (GWB don't care.....)

Management should be doing a better job.

They should capitalize on his position in the biz and not do something dumb like wearing gloves.

You can still feed the fans and not fuel the fire.

Maybe I am just getting too old.

[CornField]

64. I don't think Kanye has "management"

LMAO!!

[suffragette]

5. I don't understand your point

Freepers as fashion police?
If so, we'd all be in mullets.

[LincolnMcGrath]

7. If so, we'd all be in mullets.

:spray:

[Kerrytravelers]

11. Mullets. 80's. ray-gun.

:scared:

[jim3775]

9. So Kanye West can't wear gloves because of what freepers might

think of him? WTF is wrong with his gloves anyway?

[TomInTib]

10. Like I said, maybe I'm just getting old. I just thought he looked ...

like an idiot.

[Stephanie]

16. Yeah, you must be getting old.

[PBass]

18. Holy smokes, I wonder what Britney Spears is going to do

to mess things up for Democrats. Maybe wear a halter top.

We need better management.

Just kidding. What's this thread about, anyway? It seems kinda shallow. I hope that's not reflective of the state of the Democratic party.

136. You're old

Also you could probably use some :smoke:

[Kerrytravelers]

22. Shhhh. Remember not to mention PLAN X in public!

Use the secret code word next time!

[FreedomAngel82]

27. Oops

:blush: PPF!

[cigsandcoffee]

23. What gloves?

I didn't watch the show.

[Kerrytravelers]

26. Best pic I could find.

[FreedomAngel82]

30. Yay he won his Grammy!

I'm proud of him!

[LynneSin]

42. Yes but he didn't win the Big Grammy

U2 won for best Song & Best Album and Green Day took the best record (I'm still not sure what the difference is between the Best Song and Best Record is since Best Record is simply just the top songs)

Edit Note: Best Song is basically the best written song whereas best Record is credit for the people who put the song together.

[cigsandcoffee]

33. Thanks for that.

But now I'm more confused than ever. What makes the gloves politically significant?

[ET Awful]

38. Don't you get it MAN, they're gloves, and they're on Kanye West

It's a disaster of epic proportion I tell ya!!!!

If may paraphrase George Carlin, who was borrowing from Lenny Bruce, fuck a bunch of freepers.

[TomInTib]

32. O K, I take it back (Kanye's gloves). Tommy Smith and John Carlos..

Mexico City, 1968.

Man, those gloves were powerful then and may well be today.

[xmas74]

122. I actually did suspect that you were aiming in this direction.

Don't worry too much-most freepers can't remember that far back. They probably saw his gloves and thought that either his hands were cold or he was hiding a sixth finger(as some of their family members have probably done in the past).
Now the lurkers might actually put it together.

[Radical Activist]

129. What are you smoking?

I have no idea what the hell you're talking about. Gloves are gloves. Why should anyone give a shit? Musicians ALL look ridiculous, including rock musicians. That's what they do. Your post is just bizarre.

[Moochy]

34. Janet Doobydoo doest care about black people!

I HOPE SHE ROTS IN HELL!!

[crispini]

41. ROFL!

:spray:

[ET Awful]

36. Yeah, and those guys from Green Day should all get normal haircuts

and wear suits and ties.

They're making everyone who disagrees with Bush look bad.

[lukasahero]

44. Just like the Beatles... Oh wait people didn't like them either.

Good grief - we sound like our parents' parents...

[Orsino]

37. Of COURSE the freeps will be buzzing about this.

Anything to avoid facing the collapse of their cherished philosophies. They'll be seeking distractions everywhere.

[Brewman_Jax]

39. What do you care what freepers think?

freepers don't like black people anyway, so who gives a rat's ass? x(

[progmom]

40. wait....our management tells kanye west what to wear?

i'm mighty confused here. whose management are we talking about? and how are kanye's gloves going to derail the democratic platform?

[Kerrytravelers]

95. Ooopsss... Sorry! Didn't mean to cause a cyber meltdown! Apologies!

[LynneSin]

49. I don't think the gloves were for OJ - I think it was because of these guy

[aclog]

50. oh, ok

I'm so far removed from it that I couldn't say. On the surface it still strikes as idiotic though and I don't particularly see any reason to change my opinion lol

[Benfea]

60. Your kind never does see a reason to change opinions.

That's OK. We hold you to a lower standard, so don't worry about it.

[aclog]

65. snotty overly judgmental replies from random nobodys

always make me reevalute my postions thank you :)

Just yesterday some guy on the street asked me what brand of toothpaste I used and then recommended I switch to his instead. He was like "Crest is fucked dude, you need Colgate"

Funny thing is I told him to go to hell and you know what he snapped back?

your kind never sees a reason to change his opinions. That's OK. We hold you to a lower standard, so don't worry about it.

Of course he could've just been referring to me setting back the War on Gingavitis too...

[progmom]

66. funny....

"snotty overly judgmental replies from random nobodys" is exactly how i've been characterizing your responses on this thread. :shrug: (only i would have spelled it "nobodies")

[ContraBass Black]

67. .

[aclog]

68. The OP said the gloves are stupid

they are. The posters in this thread responded by-and-large by ripping him a new one for that simple observation?

Not to mention being complete dickweeds when I tried to add a little *perspective* and levity to the situation...you also posted that I'm not winning many friends here...somehow, I think I'll live

[progmom]

69. oh - so your positing that he was wearing them to send the message

"free OJ" was actually a joke and not some weird semi-racist kind of ignorant theory? and when you made a reference to your bowel movements to Heidi it wasn't meant to be insulting? then i guess i owe you an apology.

[aclog]

70. how is it racist if its as likely as not to be factually true?

as for Heidi, she had that coming unless she was being extremely facetious in her post...does she want to be martyred bc someone else might think something that someone somewhere sometime reputed to be art sucks?

[ContraBass Black]

72. But is it likely as not?

I think it's an extreme stretch.

[progmom]

73. hey now....

I don't know if you noticed, but OJ and Kanye are both black. :shrug:

[ContraBass Black]

75. Shhhhhhhhhhh.

Stop! You're giving the whole thing away!

[aclog]

78. Oh did I neglect to mention how I hate black people and jews?

:rolleyes:

:sarcasm:

[ContraBass Black]

82. Why yes, yes you did!

Speak up next time.

[kick-ass-bob]

87. That's right. Black Power is stupid.

:eyes:

[aclog]

88. Its because of white supremicist assholes like me

that Tupacs killer will never be caught

suck on that :D

[kick-ass-bob]

93. what the hell are you talking about?

This is what I'm talking about

http://www.umich.edu/~eng499/concepts/power.html

[aclog]

99. If I'm responsible for every ill thats ever befallen an entire

fucking race of people, then I'd like due credit is what I'm saying

[ContraBass Black]

101. WTF?

Spell it out.

[aclog]

103. I took the inference that by calling the gloves stupid (they are)

that I was calling Black Power stupid thereby making me a homophobe, bigot, racist etc...that seems to be the gist of it anyway

No one here has much of a sense of humor nor do they confine themselves to *logic* other than when it jives with their point anyway...

So if as the empowered majority I am responsible for the repression of blacks, jews, asians and hispanics, gays, women, and lepers I might as well revel in it, eh?

[ContraBass Black]

106. Ah, now I understand. In response:

"Black Power is stupid" Doesn't adress homophobia.

Your responses appear to confirm that this is your sentiment rather than clarifying that that's not what you meant.


"No one here has much of a sense of humor nor do they confine themselves to *logic* other than when it jives with their point anyway..."

Quite the opposite. Quite a few people in here are using logic to poke masterful fun at you.


"So if as the empowered majority I am responsible for the repression of blacks, jews, asians and hispanics, gays, women, and lepers I might as well revel in it, eh?"

Nope. But I don't think anyone was accusing you of that anyway.

[kick-ass-bob]

112. Nope, not at all. I wanted you to think - maybe there is a reason

he is wearing them.

Maybe he isn't, but to brand his choice of apparel with such broad strokes is quite ridiculous.

[kick-ass-bob]

102. and you got that from "black power is stupid"

??

[aclog]

104. if not that

what the hell did that comment mean rofl (seriously I am double over here bc I really don't get it then...)

[kick-ass-bob]

108. All I was saying was that wearing the gloves might be a tribute to

Black Power.

How that translates you you causing the ill of an entire race came only from your warped thought processes.

:shrug:

[ContraBass Black]

109. Seconded.

Bob should have been clearer, but you went flying off at an accusation that wasn't there.

[cassandra uprising]

118. Clearly your use of reason has gotten you far

in illustrating your points. :eyes:

[aclog]

119. LOL

the potshots were coming so far I was taking the word "stupid" as a bridge between my comment that "the gloves are stupid" and "black power is stupid"

too funny!

[kick-ass-bob]

123. umm, okay. Have a nice day. OH - he's gone!

:D

[ContraBass Black]

125. What a shame.

That was quite a Maelstrom.

The thread might die without him.

It's always fun talking with racist idiots. :eyes:

51. A black man can't wear gloves?

Well, we'll just have to send angry letters to Mr. West for not asking your permission first, won't we?

[ContraBass Black]

53. Why are you all farting about in the lounge

when Kanye West is wearing gloves?

:evilgrin:

[Misunderestimator]

54. OMG! Everybody stop posting on DU! FR probably hates it when we do.

:wtf:

[RandomKoolzip]

57. I'm doing my part.

Today, I've made a pact with myself to never post on DU again, because someone might (gasp) find out that I.....I.....uh....occasionally wear gloves when it's cold here in Chicago. AAAAIIIGH!!

Will I ever live down the shame? :cry:

58. GASP! You what?

I'll tar and feather you!

I can't help it! They're so warm...they keep my digits from freezing.... I know it's terrible, but my mom even told me that they could stave off frostbite! I know frostbite is just a liberal myth, but hey, if it worked for the Eskimos, it works for me! I'm sorry I let the team down, guys....:cry:

I KNOW THERE'S A LAW AGAINST LIBERALS WEARING GLOVES. I know that. ANd now that I've confessed my dirty secret on DU, I know I can expect the suede-denim secret police to come and get me and my uncool niece any second now.....

You're so in fashion.

YES!!

Please don't tell Mr. Limbaugh...I respect his opinion so much! I'd be devastated if he ever said a bad word about me....:cry:

[kick-ass-bob]

120. I wore gloves yesterday.

But I took them off because they were colder than if I just put them in my jacket pockets.

Do I get a pass?

[Kerrytravelers]

121. Are you white? Yes. Anyone else? Just this once!

[RandomKoolzip]

124. LEt's check with Sean Hannity first.

If Hannity and Rush say it's okay, then it's okay. Remember, we can't make a move without approval from the right.

71. This thread is like reading an Ann Coulter book

It makes no sense whatsoever, and makes my head hurt. :wtf:

[Kerrytravelers]

74. I nominate this for dumbest DU thread ever.

However, it did serve as a wonderful Public Service Announcement to all the African-Americans out there NOT to wear gloves as you may be confused with a man who stood trial for murder.




Edited for spelling. It's hard to spell when you have a headache brought on by reading sheer stupidity.

[ContraBass Black]

76. Thank God. I went outside wearing gloves this morning.

I'm lucky I didn't get arrested.

94. Kanye West is a useless turd pile. I'm not surprised

he would wwear something that utterly dumbass.

He looked like the fucking "created" moron that he is. The stupid gloves, the ignorant glasses, the bling, the fuckwit unbuttoned shirt.

:puke:

That's why i don't watch the grammies - it's mostly talentless people, who have been trained and created by "producers" being paraded around like the new dresses at the Paris fashion shows, "Look what we've created this year to sell to the masses!"

:puke::puke::puke::puke:

105. Grammy cred: Taste of Honey -- "Best New Artist" of 1979

beating Elvis Costello and the Cars for the title.

Enough said.

[ContraBass Black]

113. I think Common was more deserving.

The mods really pruned this one.

[Rabrrrrrr]

130. Who're Taste of Honey?

:rofl:

Yeah, the grammies are so accurate at telling us who's good...

And did Elvis Costello really not arrive until 1979? Wow. I always thought he was far older than that. But I didn't really even hear of him until the late 80s, and have none of his albums, so I have little data to go on. I just figured he came out early 70s, late 60s.

[LynneSin]

107. Bling?

Other than wearing a gold necklace, West is not one of those "Bling" rappers. Hell he wrote about the tragedy that miners in africa go through to mine those diamonds. You think the guy would turn around and 'bling' himself out with a bunch of them?

Maybe you should listen to what the guy is talking about instead of just assuming he's like everyone else.

:grr:

[ContraBass Black]

111. "listen...instead of just assuming"

That kind of thing doesn't happen nowadays.

[Kerrytravelers]

114. Well, he is BLACK, you know...

:eyes:

And all us stupid white people just like him because we're "tolerant."

See post #52. If I did it right, this link will show what I'm referring to.

115. Ha. I knew it!

You're just posers!

[Rabrrrrrr]

132. Alright, I was wrong on the "bling" aspect.

the glasses, gloves, and medallion look "blingish" to me, but compared to the bling of others they are truly a minuscule amount.

[imperialismispasse]

116. I don't think you know who Kanye West is

[Kerrytravelers]

117. The issue isn't whether you like Kanye or not.

It started with a silly notion that wearing gloves makes all libreals look stupid. Then, it took on a new life and we went to "white people only like him because they like to be 'tolerant.'"

It's fine by me if you don't like Kanye. It's a free country... oops, well, never mind the free country part.

[Rabrrrrrr]

131. I agree - it was a totally weird-ass OP, and I don't get it, either.

That's why I didn't comment on the OP exactly - it was just too far over my head into the land of la-la nonsensicalness.


And I, too, miss the free - or at least, marginally somewhat free - country in which I used to live. Shrubbie really should be called president #1, and not #43, since we're now a new country and a new line of leadership has been established.
