Trump Team: Kanye West Not Right Fit for Traditionally American Inauguration

[octoberlib]

Kanye West was not invited to perform at Donald Trump’s inauguration because, according to a spokesman for the president-elect, the rapper’s music wasn’t right for the “typically and traditionally American event.” Appearing Wednesday evening on CNN’s OutFront, Trump inaugural official Tom Barrack told host Erin Burnett that the inauguration is “not the venue” for West, and that “the venue we have for entertainment is filled out, it’s perfect, it’s going to be typically and traditionally American.”

Kanye West Not Right for 'White' Inauguration. There, fixed it.

1. 'traditionally American" defined: White.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. "Traditionally and typically American" means "white" to that crowd.

I'm no fan of Kanye West, but that dog whistle was a fucking siren.

4. Sure was.

9. Lee Greenwood Toby Keith Mormon Choir

Come on! Kanye could have collaborated with ONE OF THEM!

[MissB]

11. Yup. Loud and fucking clear.

3. Wonder if Kanye still has his mouth puckered to kiss trumps ass now?

5. The venue can't fit two colossal egos.

6. That's what he gets for being an asshole kissing stooge. That's exactly

what these people think of us.

[Warren DeMontague]

7. don't assume it's all about race. It could be because he's an actual star and not a one hit has been

He'd stick out like a sore thumb either way.

8. I am speechless. What is traditional American? A balalaika concert?

This does not bode well. Is our American culture which we have exported all over the world going to be erased and replaced with "fake traditional" ??

[alarimer]

10. WTF? Kanye West is an American, as far as I know.

I may not be crazy about his music, but Mr. Barrack can take that hayseed attitude and stick it where the sun don't shine.

[Solly Mack]

12. Racist to the core.
