Kanye West revealed in a TMZ interview on Tuesday that he wanted to apologize to George W. Bush for saying in 2005 that the president did not care about black people in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Kanye West said he was always told not to apologize to Bush, but that he recently saw the former president pushing his father’s wheelchair at Barbara Bush’s funeral in March, and he felt sympathy for him.
“Do you know how bad I would want to go to George Bush and say I’m sorry for hurting you. I was an artist I was hurting when I went up to the telethon,” Kanye explained. “I said something in the moment, but when I look at you as a Dad, and a family member, I’m sorry for hurting you.”
West repeated in his interview with TMZ founder Harvey Levin that he wanted to treat people like humans and spread more love across the country.
“Does God want you to love everyone? … If you start thinking about love and start feeling love and thinking about forgiveness, then you can overcome things,” Kanye said.

I was thinking of King Nebuchadnezzar and his return to sanity after he acknowledged the Lord.
humility is the most important virtue. Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom
A humble apology should be taken as a sign of humility.
The guy is married to a Kardashian, for goodness’ sake.
North???
This humbles me, because I often spout anger, when I should be spouting love, and a rap musician whom I have criticized in the past, as being a sinful person, is the one who humbles me.
Wow, I am starting to believe he is for real... I will watch closely and pray for him....
Yep. Sometimes with unstable people, the type of thing going on with Kanye is a turning of the corner ... other times it's just a blip and they return to angry and crazy.
If this is based on reflection -> then good, his emotions are being ruled by principle.
But if he's emotionally unstable, and he's in an up/manicky ecstasy stage, feeling love biochemically, then his emotions are determining his principles, and it won't last.
Hard to know which ... time will tell. So far he's holding.
WOW, full montie.
None of the Bushes deserve our sympathy, they are behind the plan to turn the USA into North Mexico.
Kanye still has some learning to do.
Way to go Kanye! I was mad at you for that comment and the Taylor incident. But you have changed your life, your thoughts and are an example of what love and forgiveness can do.
That is a good one!
OMG.
That’s brutal.
Was wondering if he was going to bring this up.
yep. I remember it well. Donations went down the tube after that, from the reports I remember seeing. People stopped calling.
Why? Because believe it or not, there aren’t that many racists out here with white skin. And they really don’t like being told they are racist, since that is a lie.
George W Bush might’ve been many things...but he isn’t a racist.
It’s called being a grown-up, it’d be nice if we could all achieve it when we’re technically adults at the age of 18, but in my view, not that many do. But if you’re a conscious, thinking individual, time, life experiences, kids, etc., you might get closer before it’s too late. Looks like Kanye has . . .
I can’t even think of the last time I was really impressed with a Hollywood celeb. I hope more of them put their big girl panties on and man up to being a conservative Trump supporter.
IOW “bipolar”?
Is that quote legit?
Even for mad Maxine that sounds bizarre.
What’s up with him? Cherchez la femme.
LOL
so True
Whatever he’s drinking, we need to get into the muni water supply of every major dem stronghold.
Dennis Prager has said that this kind of thinking needs to be fought tooth and nail by the Democrats, because if they lose the stronghold on black Americans, they’ve lost their party.
