Kayne looks like a fool here. He really never should have said this during the releif for the hurricane. But the look on Myers face is priceless.

Yea, what's up with the bait and switch?

Kanye West is a fuckin dumb bastard.

Kayne isn't too far off in his statement. There is an underlying bias against black Americans. A CNN anchor made a foot-in-mouth statement about the hurricane victims in New Orleans. He said, "They're so poor and so black".  And also on the news, they depicted the black people as looters when they tried to get groceries for their families. It's an unfair bias.

I don't really have problem with what Kayne said . But He could have pick a better place to say it .

Ok way to generalize the human race

so because one news anchor slipped up that makes everyone in the media racist and because they called people "looters" which is what they are that makes them racist

doesnt matter who was stealing they wouldve used the term because that was what they were doing.


how was Kanye not too far off?

In what way does that show that George Bush doesnt care about black people?


It takes time to get hundreds of thousands of people out of an area, its not like u can snap your fingers and make it happen instantly.

Kanye was expressing feelings echoed by many people.  He didn't do it very articulately, but it was clear that he was very emotional and believed what he was saying.  And his concerns are real and will have to be addressed. 

I don't agree with him, I don't think that what Bush did (or failed to do) had to do with race.  And I know we have another thread already going about this, but D, it  took less than 2 days to get just about everyone out.  The problem is that it took almost 5 days to start, and 5 days to get enough food and water in there.  That's the part the administration needs to answer for.

But like I said, I don't think it was due to race, but I think Kanye had the right to say it, if that's what he thinks. He has a right to be angry, as all americans do.

Look at our cities in general.

Where the money is, is what gets taken care of first.

SLC in the wintertime is a great example. The entire eastside (more money) will be plowed and nice and easy to drive on.

While the west (middleclass to lower middle class-most of the valley resides here) won't even be plowed yet.

I like Kanye for speaking his mind, I respect anyone who isnt scared to say how they feel.

I blame more of this on the FEMA leader who obviously isnt qualified to handle emergencies like this.

Bush was slow but to say he doesnt care about black people is taking it too far.

"Probably nothing."

I didn't say George Bush doesn't care about black people, Kanye said that. But some people would assume that there's a lack of care, because the response was too slow. People were crammed into a leaky dome with a limited amount of food and water, and women were afraid to go to the restrooms for fear of being raped. It was a nightmarish situation that no one should've endured. Even prison inmates are treated better than that. I'm not saying it's President Bush's fault, but the national guard should have been sent there immediately to protect the people.

Have to agree with D, FEMA dropped the ball on this one.  Apparently his former job was the head of some Arabian Horse assc.  Not exactly good qualifications!
