Kanye West Album Cover

So basically there was this issuse dealing with Kanye West's new album cover, and whether or not the U.S.A should ban it or not. Me personally, I wouldn't ban it because it's his way of expressing his self. My belief about freedom of speech is that I think everybody has the right to it. Nobody should be discriminated against just becuase not everybody agrees with it, that's not fair. No one's speech should be banned that I can think of, everybody should have tha right to speak their own mind and thoughts. What I think makes this image worth banning though is the inappropiate-ness. Even thought it's freedom of speech, there's a certain tolerance of appropiate that you have to consider. When I found out that it was Kanye West's album cover, it didnt change my perpective on him as an artist becuase I love Kayne's work, and best believe that I will be buying his album when it comes out on November 22nd. I can't be the judge to whether or not the title goes with the picture, it's his album and he names it whatever he pleases. Even though it's Kanye West's album cover, if I'd seen it without knowing who's album it was I probaly wouldn't support it.
