Wow…he is quite the philosopher, isn’t he?

NO

I haven’t been a Kanye fan in a long time, but I might change my mind. It’s good he’s questioning this. Not many rappers really care too much and do use curse words as a crutch when they have nothing real to say, they are just filler words. Lupe Fiasco has a song called “B***h Bad” which talks about how that word affects youth.
The main reason I don’t listen to rap is because of the excessive use of curse words, mostly it’s not even needed. I applaud him to for at least addressing this topic.

“Hater niggas marry hater bitches and have hater kids.” -Kanye

If ya gotta ask Mr. West, chances are IT IS SO NO OKAY!

The only woman who thinks bitch is a term of endearment is a woman with no self-respect.

to answer your question…his first album was call ‘the college dropout’….no he didnt go to school

Sigh…does he have management or yes-management? I wouldt want the job as his publicist but then again he does a pretty good job keeping his name in everyone’s mouth (good or bad) all day long!

this nitwit should delete his twitter account the only kind of woman that thinks bitch is a term of endearment is either one with no self respect/worth or a desparate fame whore like his supposed girlfriend Kim Kardashian. if him & Claire Newman were at the same charity event and he made a pass at her she would ignore his self indulgent ass because she takes her wedding vows seriously just as her mother did.

Is calling your mother a Bitch acceptable? (Yes, I am aware his mother passed) Treat women the way you would want your Mother/Sister/Daughter treated. Then he wouldn’t have to ask this ridiculous question.

Dear Kanye (and others),

Those are excellent and thoughtful questions. I’ve been studying this issue for many years. Here’s what I’ve learned, FWIW.

As with any slang term, if the word is still being widely used in a negative context — especially harshly negative ones — then no, it’s not widely acceptable in public, so it’s not advisable to use it.

This is the case even if, within a small group, the term’s real meaning may be well understood.

Indeed, using easily/likely misunderstood words like that — which are generally said to proclaim that you belong to that group — not only *won’t be understood* by the vast majority of listeners, but will also tie the entire group to the negative sense of that word. This is because, given a lack of information, people generally assume the worst, which plays out in several ways.

In the case of the N word, this has, is, and will continue to have a shockingly negative impact, on the specific person, that specific group, as well as whoever the people outside the group imagine it might relate to, which in this case, likely encompasses all African Americans.

Is the heightened racism in the country at this time directly related to black hipsters’ use of the N word? Not entirely. But partially.

When people don’t understand you, they don’t think “Wow, I’m not as cool or informed as you are.” Rather, they assume you’re an idiot, a fool, or an intentionally-evil person.

For the record, even if you are trying to be (or trying to *appear* to be) any of those three, it’s generally more effective — and advantageous to you personally and any groups you belong to — to encourage people to think otherwise. Because, again, they generally won’t fear you, or whatever effect you imagine that impression will have, so much as they will ignore and avoid you — write you off as negligible.

So using words like those doesn’t give you more influence, overall, it makes you lose influence. A nobody.

Are we supposed to believe this ignorant slob is asking the world a sincere question? He is having an affair with one of the biggest “Bitches” in the world, next to her Mother. Bitch and Whore are very appropriate words in his life because that is all he knows.
