George Bush doesn't care about black people.
I am at a loss over the apparent ineptitude of this government's response to hurricane Katrina. Accusations are flying. Some more relevant than others. But rapper Kanye West really dropped some bombs on live TV last night. NBC's A Concert for Hurricane Relief became West's stage to bash George Bush. After ranting about the media's portrayal of blacks in postg-storm New Orleans and scaring the shit out of Mike Myers, West finished up with what will surely be a long remembered quote, "George Bush doesn't like black people."
I have no personal knowledge of W's affection for persons of dark complexions, but I do know that he has killed them by thousands in Iraq and has seemingly sat by while thousands more are dying in New Orleans.
I also have the sneaking suspicion that the feds would've moved a lot faster had similar events transpired in TX or FL. Can you imageine Brother Jeb being reduced to begging for federal help during a radio interview like New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin? No. Me either.
I suppose W's confusion comes from the inability to declare war against a now defunct hurricane.
