What the heck is Kanye's problem?

I know that Kanye has a gigantic ego about himself, and I'm sure he believes that he's being snubbed, but I can't take a comment like "Give a black man a chance" seriously. He has to know that MTV has launched the careers of many black men. I think he was legit angry, but trying to make a joke about it. And even though he outraged people with his "George Bush doesn't care about black people" comment, the amazingly slow recovery efforts in New Orleans, the fact that people there are still having problems rebuilding, and his mother saying that people in NO were better off living in the Astrodome than in their homes proves that he was right IMHO. The last one is a bit of a stretch, I know, but let's face it...the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
 
one of the "awards" he lost (i saw awards very loosely, as i've seen many many videos that should have won awards, but we all know it's a popularity contest) wasn't even for him. it was for the editing done in his video, someone else did it.

he also lost to Justin Timberlake 3 times
and Rihanna once.
 
If you get on television and make an asinine comment like "George Bush doesn't care about black people", you don't deserve an award. For anything you do. EVER.

What you DO deserve, is to be ostracized from society, and shunned by the world. And this temper tantrum is the finishing touch to the end of his career.
