I posted about this in the Katrina thread last night and I'm sorry but he really made me sick. This wasn't a time or place to bring up political things. If he cared so much about bringing aid to "his people", then he should have shut his mouth and followed the teleprompter.
I hate the way they portray us in the media. We see a black family that says they're looting. We see a white family that says they're looking for food & you know it's been five days because most of the people are black & even for me to complain about I would be a hyprocrite because I try 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's the biggest amount that I can give. And just to imagine if I was down there, those are my people down there, so anybody out there that wants to do anything with the setup the way America is setup 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 that a lot of the people that can help are at war right now fighting another way andthey've given them permission to go down & shoot us."
That's the whole "speech" thingy he did, some of it isn't in that clip. I'm sorry I'm tired of hearing about this. Yes, the poor black AND WHITE people stranded on the highways and Super Dome and convention center needed aid first. Actually I'd say that the HOSPITAL needed aid first. But there are so many people who are stranded, not just the poor and black.
Since Kanye is such a pro on Jesus to make a song about him, maybe he should think about what Jesus would do and help EVERYONE, not just "his people".
