Quote:
" 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

No no no, they aren't morons for disagreeing. They're morons for dismissal. Vast difference between the two. My job requires I be on top of everything political. EVERYTHING. I have to read every facet of every idea just to get a picture that very well may be clear as mud. You can't say "Your wrong!" and not dispute without material, that's moronic.
What do you do?
Yes I have met and spoken with Barack Obama on multiple occasions. In fact, if anyone in the D.C. area wants to meet him during the Annual Business and Government Relations meeting, PM me.

EESH NEVERMIND i just did an altavista search
The **** in Mexico City was 100 times more disasterous than this, and I didn't see or hear very many accounts of anarchy and unlawfulness. Infact, it was their conviction that helped them to bring the city back together in which their government is 100 times more void than ours.
Bottomline- You are one confused, jerky-**** white boy...
You don't know what race you want to be, because you want to insult every race without catching heat from anyone.
Kanye West may have said what he said at an inappropriate time, BUT who cares? That's on him. He was very emotional, and at the time he felt like he needed to get that off his chest. You can only be the white man's puppet for so long. Then you explode.
i see kanye made it through his nfl performance fine... were those boos i heard??? the price you pay for so called freedom of speech....
white people booing a black man for saying the president doesnt care about black people is so stupid to me....white people should be ashamed of themselves (thats so arrogant)

I forgot about all the community effort amongst urban blacks in the last 20 years. It's the same few people doing the work.
No, I catch heat all the time. I can handle words thrown over the internet unlike you, who must resort to racial insults. What I can't handle is the idiocy of biased remarks. That is what I can't handle. But you pull the race card because that is the only card you can possibly pull.
I'm sooo offended.
