Kanye West is firing off at America's white leaders again a week after he shocked TV viewers on a Hurricane Katrina telethon by claiming President George W Bush is a racist.
The rapper ignored the telethon script and attacked Bush for not acting quicker to save African-Americans stranded by the storms in Mississippi and Louisiana.
And he isn't finished yet. Appearing on Ellen De Generes chat show on Friday, West insisted Bush and other politicians knew America's Gulf Coast couldn't withstand a hurricane a year before Katrina hit.
"Back in the days when it was time to clean the kitchen, I would try to sweep the dust under the kitchen sink instead of really taking care of it," West said. "and if you spilled something on that floor all that dust came right up in front of your face. That's basically what the flood did.
"They have been trying to sweep us (African-Americans) under the kitchen sink and it was so in people's faces and so on TV... that they couldn't even hide it any more.
"Down there, people are living below the poverty level to start off with, before this happened.
"A year ago I was on tour with Usher and we had a hurricane hit Florida and everybody was saying, 'If this hurricane went to Louisiana, if it went to Mississippi, they wouldn't be able to handle it.' (That was) a year ago - and there was nothing done about it."
Please give me examples of biased Wikipedia articles so I can report them as biased. I am an active member of that community and objectivity is one of our main concerns.
This guy is a major league idiot. Seriesly.
Seriously????
Excuse me for my personal educational bias, but really folks, as a Chemical Engineer, I can only laugh at the seriousness that journalists and the rest of the BA educated take themselves, let alone this cretin Kayne (the word cretin used in the allowed white slang sense).
Guess this jabloney can accurately label me as being prejudiced.
Well I could name articles, but I just seem to notice a lot of subtle hints of liberalism. For instance, sometimes I edit the pages and later come back to them only to find that someone has re-edited it with a Leftist, PC slant, or has deleted my addition altogether if it goes against their ideology.
He's nothing but a pathethic black cry-baby racist loser.
I really hope he believes the "poor me" victim mentality garbage he is spewing...just so he can feel bummed out and sorry for himself every day.
I hope he is totally miserable.
Believe me when I tell you he is addressing white people. As a black person I'm right here on the front lines in Los Angeles listening to these know-nothings spout off nonsense about things they know nothing about
Many young dumb blacks with minds dulled by constant exposure to rap believe that because this guy is a minor entertainer, that his comments carry some weight
Okay, since this individual won't shut his yap, I am led to respond.
Phuck this racist bastard.
Seriesly.
All your greens are belong to us.
When I say enable I really mean being an enabler in a negative way for his people. Like Give a man a fish and you have fed him for the day but teach him how to fish and you have fed him for life.
Well Kayne seems angry that President Bush is beating up the guy who is giving away fish if you know what I mean.
i wish he would just go and blow something
I can't remember anything that Kanye West was saying about loving Democrats specifically.
And remember, the Democrats and Republicans haven't had any consistent ideologies throughout the country's history. The deep south was staunchly Democrat until 1960-1964, when it made an abrupt switch to staunch Republican. Obviously an entire subculture didn't change their political views in 4 years. The party changed its stance. On what? I'm not going to answer that, but it's clear that Democrats of today have nothing to do with the white sheet-wearing Ku Kluxers and the Republicans today have nothing to do with Lincoln.
F**k this moron.
Next...........
The public school system just keeps producing winners who think the FEDS are omnipotent and Presidents are Kings.
"There might be better places to be stuck, but disco would make anyone turn off the radio for good."
Agree that there are better spots to be stuck in than BeBop. My daughter (piano) is doing the Bach thing that I went through earlier in life (long ago, albeit only Bach's left hand, as I am a bassist), however, hopefully her constant practice shall jar me out of the BeBop trance.
That is so true! And Kanye West did nothing about it.
I think Kanye West hates black people.
