I mean even 2 Chainz was asked to perform
Well it's in his name. They thought he'd be in chains on stage. Traditional!

AKA they are afraid that they cannot control him and he goes 'off reservation' during the performance.
A valid concern probably.
I want NWA to crash that show sooooo bad.
noh
they'll be shot on sight![]()
You can perceive the bad PR messaging however you like. Be angry. You're allowed to be.
"Minority artists wouldn't want to play anyway because of Trump's past rhetoric."
This is literally part of your argument.
It could absolutely be a factor. 86% of african americans voted for Hillary. If you wonder why, then you're blind.
...are you doing a bit?
I'm pointing out the logic error in your argument.
and I'm telling you that there's not a logical error in the process of hiring an artist to perform at an event.
Kanye really looks like a dumbass after this.
Donald Trump doesn't care about black people.
As cruel as it seems I have to agree.Kanye you played yourself.
they just called you a nigger to your face
Okay, for the last time:
1) You say this was just PR to explain why an artist will not be performing and isn't meant to be racist.
2) You then say that minority artists probably wouldn't want to play anyway due to Trump's past rhetoric aka racist statements.
So, using your logic, we shouldn't assume this is more racist rhetoric from his team despite a history of racist rhetoric from Trump and his team.
I can't make this any clearer for you.
Blues, Jazz, Rock, Pop, R&B, Gospel, Soul and Hip Hop all originated from black artists. Whites, I guess they got Country and Classical music. Oh, and ethnic European styles, like Celtic Riverdance-stuff and Polka.Both genres were made by black people, though I guess one was hijacked
As I pointed out earlier, if true it makes the excuse given even more clear pandering to his base in an effort to marginalize black people. They could have made up any number of other lies to save face.
Nothing says America like Tity "All I want for my birthday is a big booty ho" Boi!

It was basically look, I am friends with a black celebrity but you can't come into my house and meet my friends.
Well it's in his name. They thought he'd be in chains on stage. Traditional!
So if they invite Kanye, it's pandering, if they say his music isn't a fit, it's racist
Feds WatchingIdk what he would've performed haha
Also Taylor said in her 2009 Rolling Stone cover she voted for Obama so I don't know why you associate her with Trump just because she's white?
Thank you for allowing me to perceive blatant racism for what it is. Now, while you are allowing that don't sit there from a perch telling people they are wrongly outraged because they are making things up with conjecture when you're whole argument hinges on the made up scenario of the guy in charge lying about not inviting Kanye in the first place and/or lying about his stated reason. That's a classic Trump tactic to fight facts with lies and conjecture while calling the facts lies. Because making a blatant dog whistle is oh so much better.
Remember people, this inauguration is about UNITY, right?
"Even if you in a Benz, you still a nigga in a coupe", Kanye
If they said his music wasn't the right fit then no one would care. Instead they said he's not "tradionally American"
http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/16/politics/donald-trump-kanye-west-tom-barrack-inauguration/"He's been great, but it's not the venue...
The venue we have for entertainment is filled out, it's perfect, it's going to be typically and traditionally American, and Kanye is a great guy but we just haven't asked him to perform."
Feds Watching
Politics aside this is horrible thread title. You can't use quotation marks and then edit important parts out so it looks like something else it said and it fits your agenda.
Try again. I said the excuse they gave is bullshit if they really did invite another rapper. It's the lie they used that's pandering. They could have given myriad reasons why they didn't want Kanye like scheduling conflict or some nonsense but they went with not "traditional American."So if they invite Kanye, it's pandering, if they say his music isn't a fit, it's racist.
Idk what he would've performed haha
