He commented about the stuff he said about bush and blacks. Not too much of anything different but it made me think about it again. He said they have been sweeping the black people under the cracks for all these years down there in new orleans. and then the flood happened so they were finally all exposed and they couldn't ignore it anymore.
I guarantee the only reason he's protesting all this shit anyway is because he's black and he's racist just like a lot of other racist blacks would do to pick fights about the white men keeping them down and so on. the lower class seems like a better argument to me, but whatever. i dont really give a crap what he says about bush. it's that he only cares about his "own kind" as he put it that pisses me off.
My point is that if this happened to a new orleans that was predominantly white he wouldn't have said a damn thing, and that's what pisses me off.

True. The real discrimination has to do with class, not race.

Indeed. And I wonder: what's he been doing to help?

When La-quesha drops out of school and has five kids to five different fathers before she is 20 years old......it's all Whitey's fault!
But seriously, Kanye should be more pissed about the pathetic response of the city and state governments than the federal government's response.

FUCK kanye west, if he doesn't like it here he can take his millionare ass to africa and live amongst 'his own kind' in fact every rapper can do that too, it would probably make our country a better place.

he could have used this opportunity to raise the real issue - the fact that poor people are getting the shaft a million times over. but, wait a second, he isn't poor himself! so let's keep the public focused on 'decisive' issues that don't really mean a shit (democrat vs republican, pro-lifer vs pro-choicer, black vs white) so they don't open their eyes to the only true dichotomy - rich vs poor.

is this like the 6th thread on this topic?
-its about class not race -black people suck and should go back to africa -kayne or whatever the hell his name is, is just a retarded african that can rhyme -the delay in help wasnt because of race/class, its because bush/brown are dumbasses
we get it. the end.

Well...I think that Kanye West needs to be quiet. I really think that he should shut his mouth. He should zip it. Zipparoo. Why can't he just be silent? You know...no mouth movement..

Maybe because his new album just came out and he's trying to be controversial so he can get his name out there.

If he wants to get his name out there, he should pretend to have breast cancer like Victoria Gotti.

Dude, shut up. And I am not a racist which is why i get pissed off at comments from the likes of Kanye West.
On another note, his album is number one now.
