On Sept. 2, 2005, about four days after Hurricane Katrina ripped through New Orleans, West gathered with celebrities Leonardo DiCaprio, Claire Danes and Lindsay Lohan for “A Concert for Hurricane Relief,” televised on NBC, which raised a reported $50 million, according to Slate. West, frustrated by the government’s failure to help the hurricane’s victims, looked straight into a camera and said on live TV, “George Bush doesn’t care about black people.”

West stood by his statement for several years, until, 10 years later, Bush called it the “all-time low” point of his presidency. West subsequently apologized to Bush, who forgave him.

Less than a week after returning to Twitter, West appeared to endorse red-pill YouTuber Candace Owens, an African American Trump supporter who regularly criticizes Black Lives Matter. When activists protested a speech she gave last week at the University of California at Los Angeles, she accused them of embracing victimhood by focusing on slavery and the systemic racism of the past, according to The Washington Post’s Eugene Scott.

“It’s embarrassing. You’re not living through anything right now. You’re overly privileged Americans,” she said.

She later tweeted about the protesters: “They’re a bunch of whiny toddlers, pretending to be oppressed for attention.”

West on Saturday tweeted, “I love the way Candace Owens thinks.”
