Looking at this tragedy in perspective, I think the Democrat's called their local Democratic Governor of Louisiana and said don't move into New Orleans to quick with aid to make Bush look bad... Sheehan had lost a lot of press due to this hurricane, and we want to keep the Bush ratings down (even if it cost lives)... I noticed as soon as Bush showed up, things got done down there... This televised hoopla from Kanye West is just more politics in play, at the expense of the disaster victims...
I think this whole Kayne West thing has gone to far. In terms of calling him ignorant is proposterous. First of all, I think we all got the message in what Mr. West was trying to say. Im the past years, I have yet to hear anything about President Bush trying to help the black community in any way. Black community need funding for new homes--better homes. We need new books for the black students to get the most out of their education. We need more money for the teachers that teach in low income communities so that they can stay and teach the children. Some people like to say that the black people get their start on the road to drugs, violence and jail as children, however if we don't have the fundementals for keeping our children on the right path, how can you expect change? It sickens me that this is the country that we live in. I'm tired, for one thing, that for centries, American Presidents haven't tried to make America a better place to live for everyone. They only make it better for people like them. What has this country come to? Land of the Free and the home of The Brave--give me a break. I strongly suggest that Congress should rewrite that to Land of the Priviledged and Home of the People in Power.

Maybe your problem is who you're "listening" to.

And I also get what "Mr. West" was trying to do--hijack a Red Cross show, instead of buying his own time to rattle his incoherent, conspiaritorial mouth.
Remember, according to him, the US government invented AIDS to kill black people.
(Buzzer zound)case dismissed.

Is it any surprise the first to bring up race is well, blacks? Folks in Mississippi and Alabama lost much more yet they're not playing the race card.
Hey Kanye, "'BLACK PEOPLE DON'T CARE ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE..."
Mr. West and TJ would apparently rather worship at the First Church of Victimhood rather than do somthing constructive to improve their personal situations. How sad.
TJ sounds simply misguided, and as has been previously noted, has probably not been switching around the dials enough. West has an economic self-interest to protect, so don't expect integrity from him. It doesn't pay well enough.
"'That's the only way he can establish a cogent thought' he said."
I've never heard him rapping, but I would hope he can at least enunciate better while rapping than he can deliver an impromptu speech.
But hey, what do I know about rap? Maybe staring like a deer in the headlights while fumbling over every other word is "hip" these days.
And TJ, I agree that black people need funding for new and better homes, because I've seen what they try to live in in New Orleans. But how you get from "they need better homes" to "therefore the government should give them new homes" is completely beyond me.
ROFL!!! The problem we have here is that Mr. West actually believes what he says -- he's lived at the alter of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, he doesn't have an original thought in his head unless given to him by hate mongers.
