So Sad

The mother of hip hop artist, Kanye West, Donda West, passed away on Saturday night, the cause appears to be complications from a plastic surgery operation--breast reduction and a tummy tuck. I don't agree that the death of a celebrity or someone in their family is more tragic than anyone else, but for this strong, intelligent woman to die from an elective surgery is just so wrong to me. In cases of fire or accidents, I think plastic surgery is great, but the way it's utilized in society today disturbs me and I think its a gruesome tool of the patriarchy. Also, the song he wrote for her, Hey Mama, on the Late Registration album is one of the sweetest.
