Taylor Swift Needs to Send Kanye West a Thank You Note

Hot:

Taylor Swift really needs to send Kanye West a thank you note.

In the months since Swift-Gate Taylor has hosted Saturday Night Live, appeared on every talk show known to man, has several news commercials and won the CMA and the AMA artist of the year.

Really America?

Really?

Hell her CMA victory was such a shock that Wynonna Judd spoke on it:

On Wednesday, Taylor Swift became the youngest artist ever to win the Country Music Association Awards’ top honor: Entertainer of the Year.

But Wynonna Judd doesn’t think Swift, 19, is ready for such a top honor.

“You want my honest comment? It’s too much too soon,” the singer told USA Today before the show. “Time is God’s way of keeping everything from happening at once. It’s just too much of a good thing too soon.”

Judd, 45, added: “My thing is, being a home-school mom, I want kids to earn it, and I think some time … ’cause mom and I rode in a car for the first year of our career to visit radio stations. There was a making of the star, there was a rising up, and the fans went with us.

“Now it’s over coffee breaks, the success, almost,” she added. “You have to play catch up … It’s like the girl who wins an Oscar and she’s under 20. What do you do from here?”

Personally I think that’s Wynonna’s way of saying, “What the hell did this cookie cutter child do to earn Country Music Artist of the Year?”

But that could just be me projecting.

Honestly though, it never ceases to amaze me when race and white femininity meet in America. White femininity must be protected at all cost…especially from the big black monster. How dare a black man get out of pocket with a young pretty white country girl. HOW DARE HE!

It’s like all of (white) America rallied around poor Taylor:

“Are you okay baby? No? Here go appear on Regis and Kelly to talk things out”

“Are you okay darling? No? How about you host SNL?”

“Are you okay sugarplum? No? Here here’s some CMA awards. Oh that’s not enough? here’s some AMA’s too!”

None of this would have happened if he’d insulted a black girl. It would have been completely different.

Kanye could have insulted *Ciara and not a damn thing would have happened. There would have been no meteoric rise to fame. No SNL. No AMA’s. No talk shows. Hell she would have been lucky to make it on the TJMS (that’s Tom Joyner Morning Show for those who don’t know).

The world would not have cared.

America would not have rallied.

We all would have chalked it up to Kanye being Kanye.

*On a Side Note: I know somewhere Ciara is cursing the day she was born a black girl.  She’s at least wishing for a “Nappy Headed Hos” moment so she can drum up some interest in her fourth album that no one seems to know she’ s working on

And that’s because black women aren’t afforded the same level of concern. We aren’t delicate flowers to be protected at all costs. We’re mules. The Strong Black Woman. We can take a lick and keep on ticking.  We’re expected to take a lick and to keep on ticking. Add in a heaping dose of mammy-ism and the proper black woman would have been insulted by Kanye, brushed it off her shoulders and then invited him over the house for dinner ’cause we all know no matter what happens to black women, black men are always the real victims.

Ah…to be a white woman in America.

Must be nice.
