Kanye West's Disgraceful Behavior is Mirror of our Times

One of the reasons I don't watch the Academy Awards, VMAs, Emmys, or any other award program, because crap like this happens.

Taylor Swift wins the Best Female Video at the (MTV Video Music Awards). During her acceptance, 37 year old rapper Kanye West jumps up on the stage, rips the microphone from her and then pimps Beyonce, who does NOT need defending from anybody when it comes to her musical prowess. Of course, this completely destroys Taylor's moment forever.

A shocked MTV CEO could only comment later, "It's rock and roll." Excuse my impoliteness but that's a bullcrap response. That kind of tolerance only encourages this kind of behavior.

So... with the dumbing down of America's schools, the destruction of our culture and the acceptance of increasingly rude and socially improper behavior in the name of "unity", "tolerance" and "sensitivity", is anybody freaking surprised?

Until Americans start treating Americans with more respect ALL the time, this kind of behavior will only become MORE common, not less.

However, there was a glimmer of hope. When Beyonce went up to accept her award for Video of the Year, she instead invited Taylor Swift back to the podium to finish her acceptance speech. In a word, that's class.
