Whatever his fucking name is...he just went the fuck off on this NBC concert for the hurricane...
about how the media is portraying the black man as looters...
and he finished with...
"George Bush hates Black People..."
before they shut him down...
Mike Myers standing next to him...thinking..."WTF?"
"Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."
The last week hasn't exactly been a shining moment for the Black race. Cameras don't lie. This Kanye West is just embarrassed.
“If bullshit was currency, Joe Biden would be a billionaire.” - George W. Bush
Bullshit, he told the fucking truth. Bravo!
Kind of like (yes I'll admit I watch it) on Rock Star when the mohawked theatrical goofy guy, who happened to be black, got booted from INXS blamed it on racism...sad
Kanye West is known for speaking his mind. I'm sorry I missed it.

"If the American people had ever known the truth about what we (the BCE) have done to this nation, we would be chased down in the streets and lynched." - Poppy Bush, 1992
Bush doesn't hate black people or poor people. He just has no use for them. They aren't part of his base.
"First, let me make it very clear, poor people aren't necessarily killers. Just because you happen to be not rich doesn't mean you're willing to kill." —George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., May 19, 2003

Statements like this aren't helping anything at this point...
He was on the verge of tears...and just started blathering about how "we" are being treated like looters, while the "whites" are looking for water and food.
Mike Myers is staring at the camera...not flinching...
Kanye stops to take is breath...and Myers begins to talk off the cue cards again...he stops...takes a deep breath...and Kanye blurts out...
"George Bush hates blacks..."
Myers looks over at him for the first time...with the look...on his face...
it really was a priceless moment...
I agree Nick...but regardless of what side of the fence you fall on...unrest is coming from more than the people directly involved. I don't know that sides will matter if the economy has to support the burden that this is going to cause...without providing any answers...
According to BRIAN, this is only racist when the FRENCH mention that White people are "gathering food" while African-Americans are "looting."Originally posted by POJO_Risin

The BCE has been so pathetically slow in responding to this crisis, and the only logical conclusion one can reach is because the majority of those affected are poor and African American.
If this kind of damage happenned in Virginia Beach, you really think it would take them 5 fucking days to send help??

Nothing like this has ever happened in modern times. That city was just sitting there waiting to be destroyed and it isn't the fault of the fucking BSCE.

There are a lot of cities below sea level around the world. New ORLEANS' catastrophe was not inevitable. Yeah the "BCE" didn't do this intentionally. But their incompetence WAS a major factor!Originally posted by diamondD

Yeah, maybe there is some racism going on in New Orleans.
EXCLUSIVE: BRITS' HELL INSIDE THE TERROR DOME
TERRIFIED British students tell of dead bodies, rape, crack, gunshots, filth and a sickening stench filling the thick air.
From Ryan Parry, Us Correspondent, Inside The New Orleans Superdome
BRITISH students told yesterday how they stepped out of the horror of Hurricane Katrina into the hell of their Superdome "shelter".
A place of refuge became a terrifying trap, where knives and guns, crack cocaine use, threats of violence and racial abuse were rife.
Jamie Trout, 22, who kept a record of his four days there, said: "It was like something out of Lord of the Flies - one minute everything is calm and civil, the next it descends into chaos."
In one diary entry, he said: "A man has been arrested for raping a seven-year-old in the toilet, this place is hell, I feel sick. The smell is horrendous, there are toilets overflowing and people everywhere."
As the evacuation of the 70,000- capacity arena continued yesterday, the swamped city of New Orleans descended into near barbarism.
The looting and carjacking of recent days showed no sign of slowing. Gunfire was aimed at police and helicopters attempting to ferry the sick from hospitals, accompanied by shouts of: "You better come get my family."
Ten thousand National Guardsmen were sent in from across the US to the flood-ravaged Gulf coast.
At least seven bodies lay unclaimed in the streets around the New Orleans Convention Centre - one a woman in a wheelchair covered by a blanket.
Daniel Edwards, 47, pointed at her and said: "I don't treat my dog like that...I buried my dog."
Amid criticism of government inaction, he added: "You can do everything for other countries but you can't do nothing for your own people.
"You can go overseas with the military but you can't get them down here."
Thousands of storm refugees massed outside the convention building, waiting for buses that never came. They had no food, water or medicines.
The Rev Issac Clark, 68, said: "We are out here like pure animals. We don't have help."
In what may be America's worst natural disaster for a century, 80 per cent of a city of 500,000 people was under water up to 20ft deep. Thousands could be dead.
At the Superdome, at least 25,000 people were moved out yesterday as New Orleans Mayor Nagin vowed: "Come hell or high water we will evacuate people today, I'll march them out if I have to." Soldiers with M16 assault rifles and grenade launchers tried to control crowds desperate to get out.
At least one person died in the arms of a soldier. A National Guardsman was wounded in the leg by his own gun in a struggle with two men and a military helicopter was shot at while ferrying away a casualty.
Brit diary-writer Jamie had been coaching football to disabled children as part of the Camp America scheme.
Jamie, who was with two friends, said: "We were in Miami for three or four days when Katrina first hit.
"We rode that storm out and then decided to go to New Orleans. We didn't realise the storm was heading that way."
He said of his eventual Superdome refuge: "There was a lot of heat from the people in there, people shouting racial abuse about us being white.
"The army warned us to keep our bags close to us and to grip them tight."
Jamie, an economics student from Sunderland, said he saw crack cocaine being used in the filthy toilets, youngsters breaking into soft drink machines and men brawling. Urine and excrement spilled into corridors where they were sleeping.
At one point, up to 30 British students gathered in the dome were so terrified of attack when the power went down that they set up a makeshift security cordon.
Zoe Smith, 21, from Hull, said: "All us girls sat in the middle while the boys sat on the outside, with chairs as protection.
"We were absolutely terrified, the situation had descended into chaos, people were very hostile and the living conditions were horrendous.
"We had to wash with tiny bottles of water, the sink was blocked and full of gunk. Even when we offered to help with the cleaning, the locals gave us abuse."
Some students said they saw an 18-inch knife confiscated from one man and many others had guns and other weapons.
Marisa Haigh, 23, from Guildford, who is studying at Birmingham University, and Claire Watkins, 23, a student from Bradford, had arrived in New Orleans last Saturday after a trip across the US.
Claire said: "We went out drinking on Saturday night and had an awesome time.
"On Sunday we had hangovers and hadn't heard or read anything about the hurricane coming in. We only realised there was something wrong when we went out in the street and no one was around, everywhere was shut or boarded up."
They were in the Superdome when Katrina hit. Marisa said: "There was a series of almighty bangs when the roof went and a panel flew off.
"There was a woman screaming, 'We're gonna die, we're all gonna die'."
Eventually many of the students were moved to the nearby basketball arena, thanks to Sgt Garland Ogden, a full-timer with the National Guard.
Jane Wheeldon, 20, said: "He went against a lot of rules to get us moved."
Yesterday Texas was ready to house 50,000 flood refugees - 25,000 of them in the Houston Astrodome, 350 miles away. The rest will go to San Antonio.
Rescue in some areas was suspended as looters ran amok.
Coast Guard Lt Cmdr Cheri Ben-Iesan said at emergency HQ: "Hospitals are trying to evacuate. At every one of them, there are reports that as the helicopters come in people are shooting at them, telling them, 'You better come get my family'. City leader Mitch Landrieu toured stricken areas and was besieged by rescued people begging him to pass information to their families.
His pocket was full of scraps of paper on which he had scribbled down their phone numbers.
He contacted a woman whose father had been saved and told her: "Your daddy's alive, and he said to tell you he loves you."
Landrieu added: "She just started crying. She said, 'I thought he was dead'."
In Britain, worried relatives of the Superdome students were told by the Mirror their loved ones were safe.
From details given to our reporters at the scene, we passed on messages to families nationwide.
Zoe Smith's mother Sharon said in Hull: "That's brilliant. It's been horrendous not knowing what on earth has happened to her. I have barely slept."
Fine art publisher Janet Murray, 55, from Frome, Somerset, whose daughter Hannah was stranded, said: "I had not heard anything, thanks so much for letting me know."

I just think there are Stupid White People (White Trash, Hillybillies.) and There are normal intelligent white people (Average Joe.). There are also Stupid Black People (Like those involved with looting in Missippippi,The types of people who wuld go on Jerrry Springer.), And very normal intelligent black people (Again Average Joe.). The problem is that the only image that is ever shown on TV, Are the stupid people Like Rappers, (Watch MTV, These Guys truly act like Idiots.), The Afermentioned Jerry Springer Crowd, and the Street Thugs. this would be like the equivlent of Them thinking of us as a bunch of Rednecks, and Hillbillies.
Still waiting for a relevant Browns Team

An excellent allusion...
NBC will probably have to issue an apology because of Kanye's comments.
Save the White people! Even though most evacuated before the hurricane were whites, hence some of the bitterness...He said of his eventual Superdome refuge: "There was a lot of heat from the people in there, people shouting racial abuse about us being white.
Kanye said that they were shooting at blacks. Gee, you don't think that would have anything to do with them running around murdering, raping, and plundering gangland style, would it?
Not to a liberal...
This just in....
In a statement, NBC 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."
Fuck him
I AM SO FUCKING SICK OF HIP-HOP. HEY KANYE IF YOU AMD THE OTHER CRAPPERS ARE TRYING TO BE A "VOICE OF A GENERATION", WHY NOT LEARN TO PALY AFUCKING GUITAR, STOP WRTING ABOUT BITCHES AND HO'S, AND QUIT ACTING LIKE YOU ARE MORE SUPERIOR THAN US. I truly hate how we have to be all serious whenever these idiots talk, They to be all serious, and think they can make a difference in their communties and all this stuff, and then you watch in thier videos and its then same stuff over and over Cristol, Bitches and Ho's ad how its Grate in the ghetto. No I'm not Racist, I have good taste in Music, Their are Tons Of Black Artists Living Colour, (You can really hear a CVH influence in their music, Plus Lryics were intelligently written.) Hendrix (Only the Gratest Guitarist To Ever Exist, A true music Talent who influence is still felt today.) Earth Wind And Fire, (I'm A huge Fan Of Funk/70's-80'sR&B Music, I liked how they used Jazz and Combined it with Funk.) And Public Enemy (I Love this Group because This Band Auctually Met Issues Head First in Their music and didn't have to sing about Bitches and Ho's, Plus They used Anthrax in thier music, One of the only good Rap-Metal songs to ever be realeased in my opinion.) Theres more but i'll spare you, Bottom line:Hip-Hop Sucks, Old school Rap, Funk and The Band Living Colour all kick major ass.

And next these Niggaz might jack your Lexus
Somebody tell these Niggaz who Kanye West is

Top floor the view alone will leave you breathless Uhhhh!
Try to catch it Uhhhh! It's kinda hard hard
Getting choked by the detectives yeah yeah now check the method
They be asking us questions, harass and arrest us
Saying "we eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast"
Huh? Yall eat pieces of shit? What's the basis?
We ain't going nowhere but got suits and cases
A trunk full of coke rental car from Avis
My momma used to say only Jesus can save us

And yet you want others to hold theirs...Originally posted by ELVIS
I'm not about to hold my tongue...
Two things:
Kanye is MUCH better than the average rapper these, and he sells boatloads of records (which makes me happy). However, his mouth is guaranteed at some point to embarass him and ruin his career. He is arrogant beyond belief and at some point that is really going to bite him in the ass.
I think all this race stuff in New Orleans is pure speculation and predjudice coloring their worldview. I judge a devil by his deeds: In my world, there is no black and white, there are nice people and assholes.
The response the entire way was fucked up. Did you see on the drudge report the yard FULL of school buses that are now just wrecked? They weren't deployed WHY, Mr. Mayor? They could have gotten another 50-100k people out. Where is the criticism of that Kanye? Or can black people not hate black people too?
This was a perfect storm from a weather and political point of view as well. GW you can hold accountable somewhat (for the funding issues and the slow National Guard response, if that was the case...I think they did a great job, if they showed up half assed, wouldn't that be worse?). The local government though HAS to be held accountable for not having the proper plans for all the known issues. It wasn't like a hurricane was NEVER going to come again. Why didn't they have their shit together?
