“I hate the way they portray us in the media. If you see a black family it says they are looting if you see a white family it says they are looking for food. And you know that it’s been five days because most of the people are black and even for me to complain … I would be a hypocrite because I would turn away from the TV because it’s too hard to watch. I’ve even been shopping before giving a donation and so right now I’m calling my business manager what is the biggest amount I can give.

“And just to imagine if I was down there, those are my people down there. So anybody out there who wants to help with the set up, the way that America is set up to help … The poor, the black people, the less well off as slow as possible. I mean, Red Cross is doing everything they can. We already realize a lot of the people that could help are at war now fighting another way and they’ve given them permission to go down and shoot us.”

I really like Kanye’s music and I think that he is a great artist. However, what he said about Bush was completely inappropriate and wrong. I am a Black person, and in no way do I feel that Bush does not care about Black people, but if I did and I were Kanye’s position I still would never have said such a thing. Kanye should have really thought before he made that statement. I’m sure it will damage the public’s view of him.
