Somebody finally said it!

The International Asshole at his finest...

“I hate the way they portray us in the media. You see a black family, it says, ‘They're looting.’ You see a white family, it says, ‘They're looking for food. It's been five days [waiting for federal help] because most of the people are black.” “And even for me to complain about it, I would be a hypocrite because I've tried to turn away from the TV because it's too hard to watch. I've even been shopping before even giving a donation, so now I'm calling my business manager right now to see what is the biggest amount I can give…the way America is set up to help the poor, the black people, the less well-off, as slow as possible. I mean, the Red Cross is doing everything they can. We already realize a lot of people that could help are at war right now, fighting another way -- and they've given them permission to go down and shoot us!”

Re-enter Kanye West:
"George Bush doesn't care about black people."

Thank you Kanye West, for saying on live national television what black people have known from jump. It's unfortunate that it took Hurricane Katrina and the aftermath to make some people realize it, but better late than never.

If nothing else, this catastrophe has made us realize how important it is to help our people, especially those less fortunate than us.
