KANYE WEST JUST SAID ON THE NBC FUNDRAISER: "GEORGE BUSH DOESN'T CARE ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE!"

Glad I didnt even know this show was on, and more glad I did not send them one penny. Better to send my contribution through the Operation Air Conditioner folks, or send it to United Airlines and get some frequent flyer miles for it.

We have enough of our Kayne Wests on this side of the atlantic. The reporting of this disaster here has been nothing short of shameful. They don't really care about NO - they just see an opportunity to bash Bush. Some reporter on RTE spent a full half hour focusing on Bushs' failures yesterday and nothing about the ongoing disaster. W@nker!

[uncitizen]

Seriously, I think a lot of people within this thread are commenting on the disaster response to New Orleans, haphazardly not even realizing that Bush's response was swift in the case of Ivan (guess it helps having your brother as governor of the state).

You're "seriously" stupid if you believe that.

However, it's OK for a city, primarily inhabited by poor blacks to sleep in feces, urine, mud, and filth for four days without so much as a minimal federal response with basic food and water.

What about the local and state response? What did they do? Nothing! that's what. But you can't blame them because they're black and therefore never accountable especially by another black such as yourself.

Kanye West pinpointed the underlying disgust that many people unaffected directly by this tragedy have seen for years. When it matters, race and class supercede humanity

Man, you are brainwashed.

in any instance, and many of you should be disgusted with some of the baseless commentary you've posted.

My comments are my opinions. You're entitled to your opinions of course, no matter how race-centric they are or how much they are based on ignorance and closed mindedness.

Actually, I know West personally. He grew up in a middle class neighborhood which had exposure to the rich to the west and the poor to the east. Kayne grew up in an enviroment that afforded him access and knowledge to the middle class, poor, and rich.

BMD must think only blacks suffered because of Katrina.

[uncitizen]

He thinks the blacks suffered because they're black.

And it's not Katrina to blame so much as it is Bush ihio.

[Houmatt]

So Kanye West says Bush does not care about black people?

Perhaps the moron could explain Colin Powell and Condi Rice. You know, both appointed Secretary of State by Bush, both black, that sort of thing.

*BUMP*

To Kanye West:

Let me tell you who "doesn't care about black people".

The looters taking advantage of the chaos to upgrade their home theatre systems and wardrobe.

The gunmen shooting at rescuers.

The perverted miscreants raping women and children at the Superdome and Convention Center.

The Mayor of New Orleans, who let his school system's buses sit and be flooded rather than use them to get his citizenz out of harm's way.

The Democratic party machine of New Orleans who can drive poor blacks to the polls to vote, but can't drive them out of town to SAVE THEIR LIVES.

The race pimps like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and the Black Congessional Caucus who use the death and destruction of African Americans as a TOOL to SCORE POLITICAL POINTS.

[T Lady]

You nailed it!

[T Lady]

Send this to his email!

...The picture of those buses sitting in the water is downright horrible.

Just the other day there was a post on FR where some were extolling West's virtues.

Ya, and I'm just after seeing this Kayne West on Channel 4 News - Mike Myers was clearly embarrassed by his statement!

No need for any of the media to bash Bush here, he in characteristic fashion said his government's response 'was unacceptable' - you think Bertie Ahern would be so forthright?!?!

And also, Bush addressed the American people via interview - and the interviewer had to bring up Iraq (something about redirecting resources from Iraq, or some B/S like that).

The Western media is corrupt!!

One big question, ladies and gentlemen is; If Bush hates blacks, then what's the story with Condi?LOL!!

[dennisw]

Were his folks upper middle or middle of middle class? I think you're saying middle middle. I wish him luck because he seems not to be a down and dirty rapper into thug life.

[mikemikemikecubed]

His mom was a college prof. His dad and mom divorced not long after he was born. Maybe he was three or so.

[merry10]

so what's wrong with him? Who does he think he is?

[beansox]

the black mans messiah.

thanks
