Kanye is looking for a little love today. I don’t think he’ll have much luck.
It was racially motivated.
I think Kanye’s outburst was egotistically motivated.

There’s a good photo montage of the signs from Saturday up on DailyKos today. I’m reading Idiot America, I’ll share some quotes when I get further into it but in Chapter 1 the main point is that America was designed for cranks and we’ve gained a lot from our cranks in the past.
