some rapper punk or whoever was just on trying to get people to donate money to the red cross. He was on with Mike Myers (Wayne's World). Mike Myers asked people to donate...then Kanye West went on a tirade about Iraq, Mike Myers said something else, and then Kanye says "GEORGE BUSH DOESN'T CARE ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE!"
WHAT A FREAKING OUTRAGE!!!!!!!!!
Like it or not, these idiots are the face of black America today. Respectable black America needs to organize a "You don't speak for me tour."
No one person speaks for an entire race. :-)
A black man wearing a pink cable crewneck sweater??!?! SOOOOO gay.
I tried this point with a couple of liberals who were beeotching about Bush today. Like talking to a stump. No intelligent response, just Bush-bashing. Pathetic.
"Cant believe no retraction by NBC has been made. "
Matt Lauer made a comment gently rebuking it at the very end of the show. Very mild but they did address it.
"part" of you??? : )
the part with the cellulite....
Im in Chicago too....you must be listening to WGCI???? PATHETIC!!!!
I think that Condi could kick Kayne West's a$$.
hehe... : )
who is Kayne West?
" 'last week's issue of Time magazine billed as "The Smartest Man in Hip-Hop.'
He just might be. Then again it's like being the least lethal AIDS strain."
LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!
This is posted on the democratic underground. Here is the text of Kanye West's remarks:
I hate the way they portray us in the media. You see a black family and they say we are looting, you see a white family and they say they are looking for food. And, you know, its been five days because most of the people ARE black. And even for me to complain, I would be a hypocrite because I would turn away from the TV because it’s too hard to watch. I’ve even been shopping before even giving a donation, so now I’m calling my business manager right to see what is the biggest amount I can give. And just to imagine, if I was down there and those are my people down there. If there is anybody out there that wants to do anything that we can help about the way America is set up the help the poor, the black people, the less well off as slow as possible. Red cross is doing as much as they can. We already realize a lot of the people that could help are at war right now, fighting another way. And now they’ve given them permission to go down and shoot us."
"George Bush doesn’t care about black people."
Goodnight Freepers, got choir practice early tomorrow.
Wow, they just showed this again on NBC...it was NOT edited out!
I also have had it with Jesse Jackson saying all of this is Bush's fault. Please pass on the number of his office or e-mail whatever. I am so angry with everyone making this a race issue.
That's like saying BS can sing and you enjoy her sining. It would be alright if it weren't for her politics. That's why I REFUSE to listen to her music.
"Shepard Smith just said that he hasn't seen a single red cross truck since day one."
I noticed Bush made the point of mentioning both the Red Cross and Salvation Army.
Said "Salvation Army" first.
"so much black on black racism"
Lived in Louisiana for over two years.Their is a very distinct caste line between the light skinned elite and their darker brothers and sisters.
These guys might not like it but they are leaders and they need to up the ante in the propaganda war. And they need to be activists. Not event producers.. Activists.
