During a nationally televised (NBC, MSNBC, CNBC and Pax) Hurricane Katrina relief show, Kayne West went against George W. Bush, saying "George Bush doesn't care about black people,". "They're saying black families are looting and white families are just looking for food...they're giving the (Army) permission to shoot us"

NBC attempted to cut off the out-of-line remarks by cutting to a shot of actor Chris Tucker.
There was a several-second tape delay, but the person in charge "was instructed to listen for a curse word, and didn't realize (West) had gone off-script," said NBC spokeswoman Rebecca Marks.

Both NBC and the Red Cross have issued statements denouncing West's remarks.

The Red Cross statement:
WASHINGTON, Friday, September 02, 2005 — The American Red Cross is incredibly grateful for the support we’re receiving in the wake of the catastrophic events caused by Hurricane Katrina. We want to acknowledge the ongoing support of NBC-Universal, which aired a telethon tonight on behalf of the victims of this tragedy.

During the telecast, a controversial comment was made by one of the celebrities. We would like the American public to know that our support is unwavering, regardless of political circumstances. We are a neutral and impartial organization, and support disaster victims across the country regardless of race, class, color or creed. We cannot, and we do not endorse any comments of a political nature.
The NBC statment:
"Tonight's telecast was a live television event wrought with emotion. 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 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."

Whites are getting touchy because they "half way" want to blame poor black people for their own conditions. I've heard some Dallas radio shows talking very negatively about our people. It's true and it's a shame. But that's what happens when money and resources are involved. The people who have the resources are selfish and evil spirited, they don't want to share. How can they sit around and watch a whole entire race of people die off like the Native Americans? This is evil.

true true i sense a rebillion soon

i dislike bush too he told my family there was nothing he can do about sick people in our family they will just have to die

Kanye was only speaking the TRUTH!! Anybody that thinks otherwise is living under a rock wearing rose-colored glasses! President Bush doesn't give a dayum about those folks in N. Orleans, Alabama or Mississippi. This was a catergory 5 Hurricance, the worst seen in years for this country and it was foreseen and predicted years BEFORE this. No one paid attention because no one cared. Why didn't they care? Because the majority of the people affected are BLACK and living at or below the POVERTY level!!! Simple and plain, if this tragedy would have stuck a middle-class white city/state, Bush, FEMA, Homeland Security would have been in those cities DAY 2!! Matter of fact, the devasation would'nt have been as great because it would have been planned and taken care of YEARS before. Had this happened in a white/middle-class area, people would not have been evacuated on yellow school buses, but w/ air-conditioned Greyhound and charter buses! Water, food and medical care would have been implemented and in place IMMEDIATELY!! You wouldn't have had dead bodies floating around, babies, the sick and elderly literally dying in the streets. This ish is unacceptable! Makes you question just what a black life is worth - and judging from the handling of the victims of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans - not worth a dayum to President Bush!  I agree w/ Kanye and everyone else criticizing the way Bush is handling this crisis! He should have got off his azz way sooner than he did!!    to Kanye for speaking his mind!

All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for external reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration. You may succeed in making another feel guilty about something by blaming him, but you won't succeed in changing whatever it is about you that is making you unhappy."
Wayne Dyer.

Stay Positive.

Bush has got to answer for his slow reaction. That's all everybody is saying. He is the president isn't he? It is his duty to protect this country, but also to make sure everyone is getting their basic needs met.

Im guessing we just realized that when we african Americans gave him 45 percent of our votes.

People are allowed to make mistakes. His own party has been backing away from him slowly with every move he makes. They see and so does that 45% see that he is not what he said he was.

Besides that, I doubt 45% of the balck votes went to him. Since when did 45% of Black people vote republican? Do you remeber how he became president? He took it with the help of his brother in Florida. Do you remember the voting scandals and all the problems people had down in the south. I still don't think he won but he's here now. So he has to be made accountable for his actions. I'm a little conservitive myself but I'm not a fool. I see he don't care about our people. Look at what's been going on in this country before the hurrican. Black men dieing like flies trapped in a car in hot summer son. No jobs, police violating our rights, rail roaded into jail, support jail sentences, our women putting us down in the media, false terminations on jobs and more. Do understand how man black men have went to jail since he been in office? Do you know how many families are breaking up and falling apart. Men disconnected form their families. This is because of his political enfluence and lack of understanding of different cultures. In Americna all men should be created equal but I don't see it. How can you see that we are treated the same as everyone else? I don't understand and I'm conservative too.
