Anyone watching this?--Concert on NBC network for support:
Kanye West was on with Mike myers and they were suppose to read from a written piece and Kanye all of a sudden turned it into a black/white thing and said some horriffic racist statements. Including and I quote "Bush hates black people."
Then they cut away.
The nerve of that guy. Nice going Kanye make sure you keep your name out there and sell some records during this tragedy.
Pitiful. An absolute disgrace. Yeah lets use a tragedy to play the race card. Really classy Kanye. Same goes with the Reverand Al.
THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RACE, AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH HUMANITY
Why do some people always have to turn events like this into political or racial issues? pathetic

A bit like Bloc Party's reference to Bush in the song 'Helicopter'. Not to do with the recent events though..

Yep, he's a fucking idiot. But I'm honestly not surprised. This came from a man who thinks that AIDS was created by the US government to kill off black people, that crack was dispersed into black communities by white people to destroy those communities and that US politicians should stop driving Bentleys and start feeding the starving Africans. Sounds like a winner to me!

oh and so is Al Sharpton....i could never stand the guy, and now i have NO respect for him what so ever...he even supported what West said today...what a complete nut job...
little fucker always claiming things are racism.
sure the gov would help quicker if this happened in NY, DC, Boston, but bc those cities are more important--wrong in itself BUT ITS NOT AN ISSUE OF RACE
ffs....NO is majority black, and a majority of those people are poor...theres nothing racial about that...
some people are just fuckin stupid, West and Sharpton included

I actually considered Kanye as one of the few hip-hop artists I enjoy. What a dick though. That was the worst forum for him to come out like that. I'm Canadian and not a Bush supporter or hater. And I have a Black brother in law whose from New Orleans. All of his family have lost their homes. This is not a race issue. I can understand people's dislike of Bush...but to think he was kicking back in Texas giving all the support groups another day off before they respond because the majority of victims are poor and black? That's ridiculous.

I SEE WHAT YA MEAN BUT PPL HAVE BEEN WAITING to take pot shots at THE DUBYA for over 4 yrs now... rightfully so....REMEMBER THIS IS THE MAN THAT POST 911 HAD THE WORLD ON HIS SIDE AND HE MANAGED TO FUCK IT UP WITH HIS NEOCON IDEALS, LIES, COVER UPS, EVIL VOTING STRATEGIES, RIGHT WING RELIGIOUS EVANGELICAL FRIENDS AND INABILITY TO BE A DIPLOMAT...SO the time is now.. celebs will take advantage of it.... JUST HUMAN NATURE,,, sorry for cap locks....cheers !

He’s a fool at times, but he’s not a harmful guy. The worst aspects of his character are played out in public and social media with ill advised opinions at worst, but you don’t hear of hideous personality traits that are destructive to other people’s lives. I don’t have a problem with the guy, he’s earnt his success and is obviously talented (even if his music isn’t my cup of tea). There are far far worse characters in the music industry than this guy, some of which are even revered on this forum. Fair play to him.
