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

good lord.
the gist of things: kanye west said things that everybody was thinking but nobody voiced.
then i added my little part: i think he said them at an inappropriate time.
jeez
neither am i
let the **** think his people have it the worse
*whistling 400 years
the pitiful thing about that is he actually believes it too
400 years
but i mean like i said
he's weak minded and has the nerve to be a conservative
and no non blacks cannot be racist
look it up
think
and don't use animal analogies unless you wanna use the yo quiero taco bell dog
@cuite yea u kno how i do
Just because you all envy Mexican's conviction doesn't mean you are worse off. That's one thing Blacks today resent from Mexicans, conviction. One trait that some seem to lack.
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.
I don't see why you try to make fun of me by attacking me being Mexican, because I'm not Mexican, and one finds it racist to me; because they also know I'm not Mexican. But it's ok Coonboy. Just because all the Mexican's took your family business of cotton picking doesn't mean you have to be spiteful.
Just accept you got beat out by a bunch of wetbacks.
the hell is wrong with yall?
the topic is KANYE WEST! not racism.
get out of each other's pants and back onto the topic.
basischically, the gist of this is as follows: kanye said things that everybody thought, but never voiced. however, he said them at an inappropriate time.
THE END.
THANK YOU!!!! I'm glad someone is thinking right
and yes, no time will ever be right...but that was just unacceptable...and Kanye West will never be asked to do crap like that again...
He said his statement at the right time. I bet people still donated money to red cross. You think he was supposed to sit there and bite his tongue....Man get out of here
