As ya'll may know, I am a HUGE FAN of Kanye's. I didn't see the telethon. Would I have said what he said on a telethon, probably not. Do I agree what he said? As he would put it, YES SIR!
A lot of people, black and white, have said what he said but not in that language. They tried to twist it around and make it sound "less harsh". I think he's getting all of the attention becasue he didn't BS his statement. I guess this was the only opportunity to say what he (and a lot of people) felt.
If this was Florida, Texas, or even my home state of SC, that help would have been there in a heartbeat. But since it is in LA, MS, and AL, hardly none has arrived and it's very sad.
As a survior of a hurricane (Hugo in '89), my family and I didn't have it as nearly as bad as those people in NO. But if we did, I would want someone to come help me ASAP, not 5 days later!!!!
