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.

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
when is the correct place? kanye only said what every black person already knows. he was very calm and eloquent and it is bs that it was cut out on the west coast. he said nothing profane and really it wasnt that over the top. sometimes in the past ive been like wtf especially in the past when he said **** was created to destroy the black communitty at live 8 but even with that its nice to say that someone isnt worried about record sales or corporate sponsors everytime they open their mouths. Go cop Late registration if you havent already.
i agree with him...just like that pic that somebody posted on here a couple of days back showin the white family "finding food", but the black family is **** with the same stuuf in their hands...
Kanye is the truth...I appreciate him saying this because many of us wouldn't be able to get the media coverage so I definetly have to say big ups to him for saying what we didnt have the opputunity to say to America
I'm pretty sure most have seen this by now but here it is anyway.

Good job Kanye! I gain more respect for this man everytime he appears on television or I hear him on the radio. He is definately passionate about the true way of the world and he doesn't need to play into "the game" that most feel they need to.
What a ****. There is a time and a place for that, and that was not the time nor place. **** Kanye.
i completely agree wit ya dog. this was not the forum to discuss his views, whether right or wrong, about Dubya. i agree wit kanye but during a telethon, where the goal is to raise money to help the unfortunate victims of natures wrath, this is somethin he coulda gone without saying. i mean for all we know dubya might of had many supporters watching that may have been turned off by what kanye said. and to answer when was the correct time to say this anytime prior to Nov. 2, 2004 woulda been nice.

Dubya could have also had many unsupporters that were turned on by what he said. He took the opportunity and ran with it. Bigups to him.
