Kanye: "Give a Short Black Man a Chance!"

He's a whining sore loser, but at least Kanye West has a sense of humor about it.

Kanye made fun of himself on this weekend's "Saturday Night Live," appearing as himself in a sketch that mocked various incidents where Kanye threw tantrums after losing out on awards.

The sketch had Kanye upset over losing a Kid's Choice Award and the Nobel Prize -- then losing out on hosting "SNL" to LeBron James, to which he said, "Give a black man a chance ... give a short black man a chance!"

He's not humble, but he's funny!

17. He was criticized about not wanting Britney Spears to do the opening choreography number at the VMA days before she went on because it would detract from the other nominees-- well he was right wasn't he?? He deserved to win at least one of the five awards he was nominated for---call it whining or whatever, but Kanye has the last laugh in beating out 50 Cent in the album race.

20. OK I said some months ago I was done with TMZ, but I don't want to let comments like #5 stand. "So Tired" is not alone in dislike of Kanye....fine, but I don't know what this has to do with all African Americans. These comments about going back to Africa & nasty comments about screaming with monkeys is really a bit much.

I'm calling you out TMZ, one last time. Do you really want to be known for these sort of comments. I notice they are almost never screened when directed at African Americans & Latinos.
Maybe I'll just watch the TMZ show, so I don't have to be insulted by some of the comments you guys decide to leave up here.

22. I love me some Kanye! He is confident and outspoken and brash, but he knows that he's got talent. Arrogant? Sure, but funny too!

25. Us whiney blacks are here to stay so get over it. I'll go back to Africa when you go back to Europe. I suggest you run to your little cabin in the woods and read the Turner Diaries or something and when you get back we'll still be here tossing about race cards like it's blackjack up in here.

26. Thats why I love Kanye! you can say all you want- he "may act more Stupidly" but he knows your gonna talk about it. This is a man who brought meaning and music back together. He is a true artist so talk all the shizz you want but hey- Don't act like he never told ya !!!!!
VIVA KANYE!!

29. Faith Hill threw a hissy fit when Carrie Underwood, who is 22 to Faith (over the) Hill 's 42, won Best Female Vocalist at the Country Music Awards last year. How tacky that Kanye West and Faith Hill cant lose an award gracefully !!!! They have plenty of money, they have had their time in the spotlight, and watched others lose gracefully at award shows over the years. Faith Hill and Kanye West, what a pair of poor losers!!! People dont like poor losers! And parents teach their kids about sportsmanship, why should anyone give any more money to Faith Hill or Kanye West??? they need to lose some more before they understand their behavior!!
