Ask Black America: Is Kanye’s Royal Treatment of Kim another Slap in the Face to Black Women?

Kanye West, as odd as he is, has been quite revealing when it comes to his everlasting appreciation for Kim Kardashian.  Kim loves black men and black men seem to love her back.   A recent announcement about Kanye spending a million dollars for Kim’s birthday party is both an exercise in financial flamboyance and a potentially obnoxious proclamation of Kanye and Kim’s growing relationship. Kanye might spend that million having a big party, but he would not give that same million to feed 10,000 starving and dying children in Africa.

But we asked our readers on your Facebook page what they thought about the Kanye/Kim relationship and whether or not it represents yet another slap in the face for black women.  Many black women feel that black men are willing to go the extra mile and do things for non-black women that they wouldn’t do for women who look like their moms.  Is this true?  Here’s what some of our readers had to say:

 

  •  She is a woman.that is all that matters.
  • My female co-worker said “h**l yeah” and there is a lot of truth in your statement.
  •  It’s hard enough to find someone that you truly ‘click’ with. We should stop adding more problems by being so concerned about race.
  • Honestly, I consider it a gift…..like we dodged a bullet. Why would he do that? It’s dumb!!!
  • I don’t care. She is his girl right now and he has the money. Besides we don’t know what kind of money he spent on the girl he was with when we first heard of him. My problem was w decided to question calling women b*****s. Black women have been complaining about that for years. But once white media addressed it he had “deep” thoughts about it. PLEASE.
  •  His money….guess you can say hate the game and not the player.
  • Now which one is the player cause we all know (Kim still married).
  • They have a life style to live up to. Some of us can afford McDonald dollar menus only
  •  @Madeline, that’s my point. It’s dumb pushing up on some woman who is still married….and under shaky circumstances. No one doubts Let’s “opportunistic” gift. How else would you describe the game of talentless woman??
  •  Why would they? What he spends on HIS woman is HIS business. Would it be better if he was slapping the c**p out of her? Jay-Z brought his black wife an Island, Shaunie Oneal got one too I believe. Are you going to ask black men how we feel about the way Halle Berry, Stacy Dash, Naomi Campbell and other famous black women treat their WHITE men?
  • None of our business!!!! Who cares what he does with HIS money….as rich as he is, Kanye is certainly no Oil painting…. sometimes all you have is money… and if Kimmy loves him for whatever, good on here, lol…

    Okay Carlos enough is enough. You can be yourself but don’t refer to women as b*****s. It’s disrespectful.

    If I kidnap you. Transport you in my trunk to my house. Make you work for me and my kids and their kids for hundreds of years. Best you. Rape your daughters. Would you you date my daughter and love her or would you fake love and at the slightest provocation beat her living brains out cause you have hidden rage for untreated damage to your self esteem. Interracial datining with whites is pathological and deadly..

    Not a fan of either one.

    She seems to have a new man every 6 months.

    Kanye, should have been smacked down when he acted a fool at that awards show a few years back.

    I think Kanye is trying to make more of a name for himself. Why would he get involved with a married woman who was married to another black man? Is he trying to prove something? Is he doing it on a bet? What ever the reason, Kim still WINS… She will spen ALL his money, then leave him high and dry. Men who do this get exactly what they deserve, and Kanye is no different.
    Any yes, I do believe he would spend that much money on a BLACK woman. See white women have something to prove, and yes its a slap in our faces. BUT, we do survive and WE have the LAST dance. So, Kanye, when you are down and out, don’t look to a SISTA. A white women wont take you either because they dont want a broke black man! So, ejnoy yourself now because your number will soon be up! You’ll be a poor blackman like the majority of black men…..Black Women don’t get mad, we laugh….

    Please quit stressing out over race. Interracial dating is here to stay. Dig yourself and stop fretting over what some high profile idiot is doing. Just because an entertainer is wealthy money wise, don’t make them really rich from my point of view. When you need a lot of attention to feel good about yourself, it BESPEAKS the worst kind of poverty. RISE ABOVE IT.

    No….Kanye is one man. Kim is one woman. They are one couple. This does not slap a nation of millions black women in the face.
    I could care less about what free person in America decide to be with.

    it’s a known fact that kanye’s an attention w***e.

    showing affection for kk is a baiting tool for him.

    HE KNOWS THAT A DISPROPORTIONATE AMOUNT OF BLACK WOMEN ARE GONNA FEEL SOME WAY ABOUT THEM!

    STOP FEEDING THE MONSTER!

    and to those sisters who still feel the need to seethe and wince at seeing black men with non-black women: this is so old now. let it go please.

    Kanye is an immature, attention seeking AZZ, & Kim is no prize either… so why would any self respecting black person want to be associated with either of them…

      It’s been well documented the way Halle Berry, Stacy Dash, Naomi Campbell and many, many other famous black women become whores and treat their new slave masters-WHITE MEN like god.

    KIM FIRST MUST GO ON A DIET AND EAT ONLY LEMONS, CAYENNE PEPPER, AND MAPLE SYRUP FOR FOOD. THIS WILL HELP KIM TO LOOSE AT LEAST 30LBS. BY NOVEMBER.

    Who cares? This stupid n***a’s on the down low anyway. Any man who would treat a s**t like that who has boned so many brothers in public, either on film or reality show, is a low self esteem self loathing f****t.

    I really hate to say this but after reading some of the above Facebook comments and having my own conversations with other female friends, a lot of black women act like Kim Kardashian is entitled so he gets a pass because she is white. But when it comes to another black woman getting spoiled or whatever, we will tear that woman down! “her hair ain’t right” “why is he with her when he could be with me” our mindsets are waayy off! We all know Kanye has some MAJOR issues and I believe that his treatment of Kim K is a huge reflection of how our community treats those how we may feel are “entitled”

    Kanye Kim Kardishian aka [kkk] kooky kinky kracker

    Anyway, Kanye is a big TRICK! I ain’t hatin’, but $1 million dollars could’ve put a whole lot of young intelligent young Black people through college. I’ll bet my life that NONE of the businesses were BLACK OWNED where he spent all that money!

    Y’all know this negroid is taking care of her WORTHLESS family. He’s another O.J., except his name is Kanye! O.J. took care of that poor cracker’s family, but look where he’s at now! She was nothing, but a waitress and a cokehead!!!

    This is what I was talking about in another post about O’Drama and Jay-Z. This is a PERFECT EXAMPLE, how our children [male and fe-male] are OBSERVING this mess! A child starts COMPREHENDING at age 1, and what they see; they will remember ALL of their lives up to adult hood.

    THIS IS THE PLAN, THAT I WAS SPEAKING ABOUT, EARLIER! REMEMBER, THAT 6 YEAR OLD BLACK BOY, WHO HAD grown white gals SHAKING THEIR FLAT BOOTIES IN HIS FACE [Booty Pop]? Now, take a look at Kim’s booty!!! HUH?

    Now, y’all see why I call them sc(rappers)!

    THROW THEM IN THE SCRAP yard!

      Derrick, I enjoy reading your comments and hope you continue to drop science however, BW nationwide jumped for joy the other day when it was announced Serena Williams bagged her a non white lover, celebrating as though they had hit the lottery. Of course we both agree a million dollars spent on a Bday bash is a total misuse of funds but, remember, wasting money is what black ppl do…he just has more than most to waste.

      Kim is far from broke.

      In 2010, The Kardashians’ made $65 Million: Kim made about $18 million off her “fairytale” wedding with NBA player Kris Humphries. Don’t forget, Kim bought Kanye West, a $750,000 Lamborghini.

      How did she make her money?

      Television shows: “Keeping Up With The Kardashians,” “Kourtney & Kim Take New York,” “Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami,” “Khloe & Lamar”

      Best selling book: Kardashian Konfidential

      Perfumes: 2 (Kim’s eponymous perfume, Khloe and Odom’s “Unbreakable”)

      Fashion lines: Lines for Sears, Dash Boutique, K-Dash for QVC, Kim’s Skechers Shoe, Kim’s Jewelry Line for Bebe.

      She might be a ho, but she’s not a broke ho!

        @raheem:

        A ‘ho is a ‘ho!!! Regardless, of how much money she makes, spends or inherits from her pappy! He was a big time lawyer, in the O.J. case; therefore, he should have some paper, BUT you better believe, “CONye” is putting some cheddar in the cookie jar.

        This is amerikkka, you know! Everythang you see ain’t REAL!!! This might just be a FRONT for the both of those ‘ho’s.

        Notice, how she is ALWAYS FIRST, while he plays second fiddle! Just another gesture to let y’all know, who is in charge and the ‘leader’.
