Kanye West Rips Bush at Hurricane Aid Show

Kanye West spoke from his heart.

Comedian Mike Myers was paired with West for a 90-second segment that began with Myers speaking of Katrina's devastation. Then, to Myers' evident surprise, West began a rant by saying, "I hate the way they portray us in the media. If you see a black family, it says they're looting. See a white family, it says they're looking for food."
While allowing that "the Red Cross is doing everything they can," West — who delivered an emotional outburst at the American Music Awards after he was snubbed for an award — declared that government authorities are intentionally dragging their feet on aid to the Gulf Coast. Without getting specific, he added, "They've given them permission to go down and shoot us."
After he stated, "George Bush doesn't care about black people," the camera cut away to comedian Chris Tucker.

He was right to express his opinion, but got it wrong. While W may in fact hate "black people", the situation in N.O. is because they are poor. It is more a case of class rather than race. Hell most did not have cars - they were not supporting W's friends by buying gasoline. W just hates that. If they can't support W's friends in high places - to hell with them!
