WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Rapper Kanye West surprised viewers of an NBC benefit concert for **** Katrina victims on Friday by accusing President George W. Bush of racism.

" George Bush doesn't care about black people," West said from New York during the show aired live on the East Coast on NBC, MSNBC, **** and Pax, just before cameras cut away to comedian Chris Tucker.
West, who is black, suggested moments earlier that delays in providing relief to survivors of the **** that hit the U.S. Gulf Coast on Monday and flooded New Orleans were deliberate. He said America was set up "to help the poor, the black people, the less well-off as slow as possible."
The Grammy award-winning singer, who was paired with comedian Mike Myers, also said in what NBC described as unscripted remarks, "We already realized a lot of the people that could help are at war right now, fighting another way, and they've given them permission to go down and shoot us."
He was apparently referring to shoot-on-sight orders issued to National Guard troops to halt **** and **** in New Orleans.
West also criticized the media's portrayal of blacks, saying: "I hate the way they portray us in the media. If you see a black family, it says they're ****. See a white family, it says they're looking for food."
In a statement, NBC, a unit of General Electric Co.,said, "Kanye West departed from the scripted comments that were prepared for him, and his opinions in no way represent the views of the networks.
"It would be most unfortunate," the statement continued, "if the efforts of the artists who participated tonight and the generosity of millions of Americans who are helping those in need are overshadowed by one person's opinion."
The program, hosted by **** of NBC News, urged viewers to donate to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. It included 18 presenters, and featured performances by New Orleans natives Harry Connick Jr. and Wynton Marsalis, as well as Louisiana native Tim McGraw and Faith Hill of Mississippi, which was also struck by
Are we now done with this conversation?...becuz i'm beginning to smell a lil redundancy & i'd like to finish my paper while i'm in the ilab
Not to intrude in you all's debate, but do they have that antivirus software in the iLab yet. Them punks ran out in like the first few days.
lol, naw u aren't intruding. I'm gonna agree to disagree on this one, cuz i don't have my laptop anymore, so i don't have time to be in the ilab or on someone else's comp to go back & forth on this board. As for what i know about the ilab, well...i'd have to have a computer to even need some anti-virus software. And since i don't, i wouldn't be able to tell u if it's available or not. But if i find out, i'll be sure to let u know buddy :grin:
k, whateva the heck u just said what edited...but i read it all before it was. And yeah, i feel u, i got u,"oooo..." and "ahhh..." to the phylosophy sir. Here's my view tho..
U either are or u arent. U either claim it or u don't. I don't have time to sit and try to decipher thru hints and riddles. It's as simple as saying "I am Black"..."I am Black and Italian"...or "I am mixed".
But like i already said...kudos to u your newfound burden/gift of Blackness.

Yeah, a moderator took it into his liberty to change my post.
What little redundancy? That all the sudden your outlook is different based on race principle rather than mindset principle? You are a **** to your eyes. Grow out of it and maybe you can grow period.
****. I gave you guys all the time in the world, but since none of you READ or know how politics work, I'm done with this thread and Kanye's statement. Bush doesn't care about black people. But the slow effort has nothing to do with it.
You guys are morons.
Go look up something on Homeland Security and FEMA, and then you will see the light. The FEMA Bush so gapingly ignored is the reason for this sole Sh*t-effort. The only people to do anything were the FBI, and they did the only thing they could do.
Send in troops.
FEMA and HS got into a pissing contest, deliberating whose jacket they are going to wear for 20 hours. :???: FEMA doesn't like Bush for making them a subsidiary. This was a way for them to get back and make Bush look incompetent, albeit the fact he IS incompetent.
people would actually praise the intellectualism that you bring to the messageboards if you chose to leave out the insults. Maybe when you GROW-UP and become the warrior that you desire to be you will learn no matter how smart you are you can't catch bees with vinegar.
^^^^ And I bet you heard this from Bush himself.....
Okay who says I don't read thats all I do is read.... am I about to come on here and argue about whether it's right or wrong..... absolutely not.... I have better things to do such as study for my Genetics exam next week....
I can see that you are a smart young man and know alot more than others..... But you need to realize that just because a person disagrees with you doesn't mean that they are incompetent..... stupid..... or a ****..... they just believe different.... it doesn't mean that they don't read, maybe their information is just as TRUE as yours.... Hmmmmm..... Goodluck to you though..... I hope you make president since you feel you know so much.
But hell if you do I'm moving to France.
yep I edited this my computer is acting up!
^^^^^ totally agree with you on the Bush stuff but I don't think that people were dismissing you rather just disagreeing with you especially on the Kanye and racial issues....
I look at things from all points also..... Do YOU?

Only one person presented an argument on Kanye's side and that was Lady Jag.
No one presented one on the racial issues side, well, no valid arguments atleast.
