22 Quotes From Kanye’s BBC Interview To Make You Think About Race, Culture, And Creativity
Here’s why we should actually be talking about the interview. CC: Jimmy Kimmel , the world.
From Part 1:
I'm gonna take music and I'm gonna to try to make it three-dimensional, like in Star Wars, and the hologram'll pop up out of R2-D2. I'ma try to make something that jumps up, and affects you, in a good or bad way.
We're all gonna die one day. So, live like that. Live like you could die tomorrow. You know? Go for it.
For me, in my life and my creativity, it's been challenging and everything, but I was able to ascend to massive levels, to heights and never stop because of the foundation that my mother and father and grandfather laid through civil rights, what Michael Jackson did through music videos and the ground he broke. There would be no Kanye West if it wasn't for Michael Jackson.

A Foolproof Guide To Arguing About America's America's Cup Comeback
Villainous rich people, fast boats, cheating, impossible odds, New Zealand…this story has everything!
The 34th America's Cup wrapped up in the waters of San Francisco Bay two days ago, and maybe you've heard people talking about what happened. "Greatest comeback in sports history" and "cheating" and "Nancy Pelosi" and all that. Issues of national pride are involved — the U.S. defeated New Zealand, but the American crew included several foreigners — which means you'll need to have a strong, semi-informed opinion on it. (USA! USA!) We're here to semi-inform you. What actually went down? Something about big boats, sure, but it's far more interesting than just that. Here's a handy guide to knowing your Oracle from your Emirates and what was perhaps the most exciting few days in the event's 162-year history.
Larry Ellison Rules Over All
Being the fifth-richest man in the world is one thing, but since America's Cup rules allow the winner of the previous Cup to dictate many of the conditions of the next running, Larry Ellison, benefactor of the defending champs, Oracle Team USA, had an even bigger advantage than just money. Failure to win this year's event — held in his own Bay Area backyard — would have been a monumental embarrassment for the Oracle CEO.
Instead, he got to raise the Cup aloft in front of cheering fans gathered along the city's Embarcadero, a privilege he paid dearly for. Some estimates put his total personal investment over the years as high as $300 million — but for someone worth $41 billion, that's chump change. (Despite the good feeling, it hasn't been decided that San Francisco will host the next America's Cup — Ellison and city officials will have to negotiate everything again, including who pays for what.)

There's Little That's American About This Particular American America's Cup
Only three of the 24 official members of Oracle Team USA are American — skipper Jimmy Spithill is a 34-year-old Aussie himself — including only one actual sailor on the victorious boat. So it is to our brethren in Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, and other international points east and west that we tip our collective caps and say thanks for making us look good.
Robert Galbraith / Reuters
The Boats Are Completely Insane
As the winner in 2010, Ellison was tasked with formalizing the design of the boats to be raced in the America's Cup this time around, and this is where being a mega-billionaire really came in handy.
The AC72 ("72" for its length in feet) is an extremely nimble, extremely expensive catamaran that can go twice as fast as the wind, and these 13,000-pound monstrosities were unlike anything ever seen before in the America's Cup. (It was also a clear advantage to Ellison in that this wallet-busting tech priced out other potential competitors from entering.)
But the boats are also dangerous: A British sailor died in May during an accident in which the boat essentially felt apart, and the most stressful part of watching any of the races in the finals was knowing that boat-wrecking capsizes, crashes, or worse could happen at just about any moment.

Dominican Republic Strips Citizenship From Children Of Migrants, Affects More Than 200,000 Haitians
Experts warn the court’s decision could cause a human rights crisis, potentially leaving tens of thousands of people stateless, facing mass deportation and discrimination.
In a sweeping court decision Friday, the Dominican Republic ruled to take away citizenship from the children of migrants, which could affect tens of thousands of people living in the country of Haitian descent.
AP
The court ruling published Thursday applies to those born after 1929 – a category that overwhelmingly includes descendants of Haitians brought in to work on farms. It appears to affect even their grandchildren, said Wade McMullen, a New York-based attorney at the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice & Human Rights. "We really don't know what's going to happen to those people ... Based on what the Dominican government is saying, these people are not Dominican citizens and will have to leave and effectively go to Haiti, where they are also not citizens. It creates an extremely complicated situation."
Dominicans and Haitians share the Caribbean island of Hispaniola and have a long history of conflict and tense relations.
David Abraham, a law professor at the University of Miami, told the AP the decision was part of a larger effort to keep Haitians from entering the Dominican Republic and to encourage self-deportation of those already here. "The fear of the Dominican Republic, of being pulled down to the level of Haiti economically and the `blackening' of the country, has been an obsession of Dominican politicians for well over a century," he said.
Reuters
"To all of a sudden be told no, you're not Dominican, it's very frustrating," said Elmo Bida Joseph, a 21-year-old student who said he was denied his ID and birth certificate because he was born to Haitian parents.
"All my dreams have been broken," said Bida, a baseball player who needed those documents to enroll in a baseball academy and now worries he'll be deported.
"I feel that's around the corner. That in any moment I'll be detained and they'll send me to Haiti."

Macklemore Reminds Fans Why He's The Best, By Telling Them To Not Buy His Tour Merchandise
That shirt is hella dough. via reddit .
So, a fan noticed this at a Macklemore concert.
Um...
Can't afford the album? Pirate that ishhh and share it.
Can't afford a t-shirt? Try Seattle area Goodwills and Value Villages.... we just donated a bunch that I have worn at shows.
If you DO want to buy something...
I want to let the fans know that merch prices will be jacked on tour due to the MAN controlling venue merch sales.
If you do want a shirt or a deluxe Heist copy, it's cheaper online, and when you buy direct you support the independent movement and the money doesn't go to venue middle men. All our shirts are printed at local Seattle factory Inner City Empire.
Merch gals (and my brother) printing and mailing all day today!!
Hope to see you all this fall!
Thanks Macklemore!
