Odd. I was at the Chicago Fire game last night with my younger brother who has been in a wheelchair his entire life and when they had the dance cam going, I thought to myself, "I wonder if there has ever been a person operating these cameras who is either so stupid or a throbbing dickhead to the point they'd put the camera on someone in a wheelchair." Now I read this. Of course it was Kanye. |

And Biden No defense of this I will say removing the wheelchair part....Kanye acting upset that his ridiculous rule isn't being followed "this the longest I ever had to wait to do a song" is delightfully Kanye |

Somewhat related, do people still act out internet memes? Like you had Faith Hilling, you would have Kayne Westing, where you yell that you are going to refuse to do something until the handicapped guy stands up. I also love the fact that the new politically correct term for handicapped per this article is, "differently abled". |

Dont even need to know what this was about, long time douche guy and not sure if he made a song in 10 years that has been decent. He had a few songs on that Golddigga album (if that was the name of the album?) and that was it. |

the headline is wrong, though. he didn't demand that the people who were handicap stand up after finding out that they were handicapped. |

He did stop his show twice because someone that paid a lot of money to see him wasn't standing. The fans told him that the guy was in a wheelchair and he still wanted security to confirm it. A fan had to raise their prosthetic leg in the air. I would have wanted to kill the guy if he embarrassed my family like that. |

I feel he is leaning in the wrong direction on this one. He really should make music for the sake of art and not rely on the people's enjoyment of it as a crutch. |

I've felt the need to scratch a lost mult itch as much as not having my Kanye mult right now. |

He had a few songs on that Golddigga album (if that was the name of the album?) and that was it. he's right there in the ludacris territory of lowest-common-denominator rhymes that you can guess the first time you're hearing them. and well, it's just like ice cube told dre on no vaseline: "stick to producing." the guy has a friend or two who can rap and all of a sudden he's the self-proclaimed voice of a generation. i guess our generation is going to make the handicapped stand up and represent based on sheer willpower alone. |

Reads like an Onion article but posted on The A.V. Club (the onion's legit side) Kanye West has his special needs discriminated against by fan in wheelchair By Sean O'Neal@seanoneal Sep 15, 2014 11:06 AM As Kanye West continues to fight for the equal rights of celebrities, he is also facing discrimination on another front: those who don’t recognize Kanye West’s special needs to have everyone standing for him at his concerts. That unfortunate intolerance for Kanye West’s disability—which makes him unable to perform everyday activities, such as rapping, unless every audience member is on their feet—came to light again this weekend in Australia, after a concertgoer refused to get out of their wheelchair. “I can’t do this song, I can’t do the rest of this show until everybody stands up,” Kanye tells the Sydney crowd in the video below, bravely making his disability known. He magnanimously added, “Unless you got a handicap pass and you get special parking and shit”—allowing that there are certain circumstances in which some may find it impossible to stand and give Kanye West the respect he deserves, provided you have the proper documentation. The crowd laughed at the very notion. By way of providing that documentation, one concertgoer reportedly waved her prosthetic leg at Kanye. It checked out, so Kanye granted them permission to remain seated. But others were still refusing to stand and/or show proof of their artificial limbs—another heartbreaking reminder of the discrimination Kanye faces from people who refuse to take his needs into account. “This is the longest I’ve had to wait to do a song. It’s unbelievable,” he lamented of this world we have yet to progress past. The crowd booed in sympathy. “Pascal, there’s two people left that don’t want to stand up,” West said to his bodyguard, Pascal Duvier, sending his helper into the arena to procure an explanation or prosthesis. “Stand up!” the audience began to chant at these two people, voicing their displeasure at the way they were now leaving Kanye feeling embarrassingly singled out. Yet Kanye was, as always, the bigger man. “Now if he is in a wheelchair, then it’s fine,” Kanye told his bodyguard, reminding all that some people just cannot help their prejudice against standing. Whether they are born with it or come by it due to the vagaries of existence, some people simply have an innate inability to stand for Kanye—even after he’s met them halfway by showing up in exchange for an exorbitant amount of money. And so, after confirming that these two people were, in fact, in wheelchairs, Kanye declared that this was “okay”—that he would persevere regardless, despite the hindrances. Indeed, it is a constant struggle for Kanye West to overcome the obstacles that are always placed on him, but moments like these are truly what makes Kanye Kanye. |
