“George Bush doesn’t care about black people”. – Kanya West

That’s what he said, on live TV. I waste entirely too much of my time bashing Bush, on this blog and in my own personal life. However, honestly, I doubt that Bush has a problem with any specific race. I think it’s more accurate to say that Bush doesn’t like “poor” people, in fact I’m absolutely convinced of it. Other than so many kids from poor families volunteering for military service, Bush couldn’t care less about poor or middle class Americans.

Having said that, I still support the producers of this video and their message. I’m not a Kanya West fan, but there is absolutely no question whatsoever that if Hurricane Katrina had hit the coast of Connecticut, or the San Francisco coast, or anywhere that isn’t primarily poor (and black) we would have seen a totally different response.

Kanye West’s brilliant oration:
