An act of racism

Why has no one stated the obvious in the Kanye West/Taylor Swift incident? In case you never see the news, the big story this week has been Kanye West stealing the microphone from Taylor Swift as she accepted an award for her music video. Kanye went into a rant about how Beyonce's video was the best. An obviously stunned Taylor Swift just stood staring at the jackass (officially so-called by the president of the United States).

Anyway, no one has commented on what a racist thing this was. He wasn't upset because Taylor Swift won and Beyonce didn't. He was upset because Taylor Swift was white and won, and Beyonce was black and didn't. If we're going to point out racism, let's be consistent about it.
