Kanye on Hurricane relief concert (MERGED WITH VID INSIDE)

[prozac]

Caught a little of the rap star Kanye and his feelings on the hurricane. Mike Myers was standing next to him during the telecast. Now I have to watch it again but I must say the Kanye really did not make sense. I'll take into account that he was upset but I don't know what the hell he was trying to get across. ANY OTHER WACKBAGGER SEE THIS?? Please give me some feedback if you did?

[KevSlider]

I don't know why but sometimes he can't get what he wants across in regular words, he has to rap it or have someone sing it for him. If you heard the Kanye West Weekend on XM you could tell he has too much shit going on in his mind for him to say a clear sentance. I think he's a brilliant artist.

[Bunny™]

brilliant artist.

he says that bush dosn't like black people

[PorchMonkey4Life]

from The Drudge Report...
KANYE WEST ON NBC FUNDRAISER: 'GEORGE BUSH DOESN'T CARE ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE... They're saying black families are looting and white families are just looking for food...they're giving the (Army) permission to shoot us'... Actor Mike Myers asked people to donate... then Kanye West went on a tirade about Iraq... MORE...

does anyone other than a rich liberal ass like Kanye West and Al Sharpton really believe that Bush would not want to send supplies to save people because they are black???? Please... i really am not a fan of "those" (and you interpite what i mean by those) type of people... but if i was president i would work my ass off to get them the help they need... they are humans for god sake and you need to help them... even if they only count for 3/5ths of a person...

Are you shitting me this guy is out of his mind to say something like that when all of the people in charge down there are black and they left and didn't look back they don't give a shit about them at all. It is not the federal governments job first to help it is the job of the locals but they ran like the rest should have. Now everyone is blaming bush that is bullshit get a clue jessie jackson has been quiet too. sharpton not a word they don't care about the poor there's nothing in it for them. blame the president that's a bunch of shit when they sent help they shot at it fuck them all !

Sharpton was on tv before saying that Bush didn't act fast because all of the people were black. Why can't these assholes see that it is because they are poor people and it has nothing to do with their race. He kept saying how fast they reacted to the hurricanes in Florida last year when all those white people were in trouble. Money=Power, what is so fucking hard to understand about that. I can't fucking stand it when black people play the race card in a situation like this.

[GLENN_THE_TOOL]

what i found funny was that right after Kanye's tirade, golfer comedian Chris Tucker had to speak. he stuttered through about ten straight "thank yous" out of sheer fear. i mean, shit, how do you follow that when you're a golfer?

[PorchMonkey4Life]

They clearly are only worth 1/10.
sir... incase you don't know the 3/5ths come from the US constitution telling us how much a black person is worth...
From Article I, Section 2, Clause 3
Clause 3: Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons. The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct. The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand, but each State shall have at Least one Representative; and until such enumeration shall be made, the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled to chuse three, Massachusetts eight, Rhode-Island and Providence Plantations one, Connecticut five, New-York six, New Jersey four, Pennsylvania eight, Delaware one, Maryland six, Virginia ten, North Carolina five, South Carolina five, and Georgia three.

Fuck you. Fuck you and the fact that you think all black people believe and support what any asshole gets on TV and says. Fuck you for not being able to see that it is wildly apparent that the relief efforts in New Orleans are lacking.

That said, I am not defending the actions of the looters nor the rapists or other violent criminals throwing salt in the wounds of a devistated(sp?) city of people. I will not, however, sit back and let you defile my entire race based on the actions of a few.

Some day you will be in dire need of assistance and the only person there will be black. I hope they don't help you.

[LiddyRules]

Anyone remember that SNL skit at the home shopping network where Mike Myers and this chick are hosting the QVC "show" and she just keeps saying horribly racist things? That's the look Myers has on in this video, especially at the end. I really wish they didn't cut away to Chris Tucker.

am i the only one who laughed when Chris Tucker had to speak right after Kanye's little tirade? Chris looked so uncomfortable as he stuttered through his portion. he looked like a guy who just called his girlfriend a bitch, but then had to call her up and ask for a ride because his car broke down. he was apologetically saying "thank you" over and over as if it's gonna magically make the awkwardness of what just happened go away. pure Cringe TV, my friends.

Well, since he said GW doesn't care about the blacks, it must be true. And they wonder why we call them golfers.....for shizzle my nizzle. GW will never please them. He goes out of his way to put Rice and Powell in the highest positions ever held by blacks in govt, and they still complain. But who is really suprised by that? They will lick Bill Clinton's infected sack, and he cut their welfare, and had no blacks around him!

No, fuck that. I completely agree with K1d here. There's goofing about "golfers", as we do so very often here, and then there's blatant, rampant racism. Racism is pretty fucked up imo. Joking about golfers running with stereos is funny. That guy definitely stepped over the line between funny/racism.

[HerkyJerkyLiz]

kanye west is an asshole. people should stop aiming for suge knight and start pointing at this douche fuck.

[KevSlider]

I think what he should have said was "President Bush dosn't care about people here as much as he cares for the iraqis." It was stupid that he blurted out what he did without sugar coating it for the general mass. I've finally seen the video and I bursted out laughing at the end of that.

[jackmurphy]

Maybe Kanye is just retarded. This is what he said during Live 8:

"It's a man-made disease in the first place that was placed in Africa just like crack was placed in the black community to break up the Black Panther party."

Along with many other wacky things.

kid, open your eyes.just sit back and look at the situation as a person and not a particular race.wich race of ppl were left behind????stupid ppl, i knew 2 days before the storm hit that those ppl needed to get the fuck outta there.they couldve crawled out.the simple fact is, the majority of ppl looting, murdering,and ****** in n.o. are black ppl,theres no excuse for that ,and no defending it.ask yourself this...why arent the POOR white ppl in alabama and mississippi looting,****** and murdering each other???why arent they shooting at the very ppl that want to help ?????i try not to judge a person based on the color of thier skin, but alot of these ppl arent tryin to hard to break up the stereotypes.

my company donated their incoming call center phone lines to the red cross last night and the 300 volunteers at our site alone were able to raise $700,000 in credit card donations. i was glad to be able to help, but that comment probably cost the red cross millions of dollars. I, personally, received several calls from people trying to rescind donations or just yell and complain. It was tough to hear these things knowing that people who would have been willing to help were upset enough to take it back... :icon_evil

Kanye West is an angry black man who want's so badly for there to be some sort of "racial" issue that he can fight for. He is clearly a dilusional man who tried to feed himself through "jesus walks" a typical bullshit artist trying to use the lord and savor as a tool to get rich and get recognition

[Tax Kuntz]

I laugh harder every time I see watch that video. The expression on Mike Myers face is priceless.

Kayne West is just plain ignorant, unfortunately the blacks can't seem to find a spokesperson who isn't ignorant. Shit, this whole tragedy shouldn't be about race anyway, but it seems the blacks see this as an opportunity to cry about racism when they should just be trying to help.

Kanye West Rips Bush During NBC Concert

Sep 3, 6:08 AM (ET)

By FRAZIER MOORE

NEW YORK (AP) - It began, fittingly enough, with jazz from New Orleans natives Harry Connick Jr. and Wynton Marsalis. But "A Concert for Hurricane Relief," a heartfelt and dignified benefit aired on NBC and other networks Friday night, took an unexpected turn thanks to the outspoken rapper Kanye West.

Appearing two-thirds through the program, he claimed "George Bush doesn't care about black people" and said America is set up "to help the poor, the black people, the less well-off as slow as possible."

The show, simulcast from New York on NBC, MSNBC, CNBC and Pax, was aired live to the East Coast, enabling the Grammy-winning rapper's outburst to go out uncensored.

There was a several-second tape delay, but the person in charge "was instructed to listen for a curse word, and didn't realize (West) had gone off-script," said NBC spokeswoman Rebecca Marks.

West's comment about the president was cut from NBC's West Coast airing, which showed three hours later on tape.

The host was NBC News' Matt Lauer, who invited viewers to contribute to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund by phone or on the Web. Some 18 presenters performed musical numbers or gave information on the tragedy's huge scope.

Louisiana native Tim McGraw teared up as he told Lauer, "I know the citizens that weren't affected by this directly are gonna stand up and do good things for people." He sang two songs, then became the first of the evening's stars to sign a Gibson Les Paul Special guitar to be auditioned online.

Faith Hill, a Mississippi native, sang "There Will Come a Time," with the inspiring lyrics, "The darkness will be gone, the weak shall be strong. Hold on to your faith."

New Orleans son Aaron Neville performed Randy Newman's soulful "Louisiana 1927" with the memorable chorus, "they're trying to wash us away, they're trying to wash us away."

New York governor George Pataki presented the Red Cross with a check for $2.5 million and promised, "This great state will do far more."

"In terms of property damage," said actress Hilary Swank, "the estimate is at least $26 billion in insured losses and perhaps twice that in uninsured losses over a 90,000-square-mile area - approximately the size of Kansas."

Other speakers included Lindsay Lohan, Eric LaSalle, Glenn Close, Richard Gere, John Goodman and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Comedian Mike Myers was paired with West for a 90-second segment that began with Myers speaking of Katrina's devastation. Then, to Myers' evident surprise, West began a rant by saying, "I hate the way they portray us in the media. If you see a black family, it says they're looting. See a white family, it says they're looking for food."

While allowing that "the Red Cross is doing everything they can," West - who delivered an emotional outburst at the American Music Awards after he was snubbed for an award - declared that government authorities are intentionally dragging their feet on aid to the Gulf Coast. Without getting specific, he added, "They've given them permission to go down and shoot us."

After he stated, "George Bush doesn't care about black people," the camera cut away to comedian Chris Tucker.

Concluding the hour a few minutes later, Lauer noted that "emotions in this country right now are running very high. Sometimes that emotion is translated into inspiration, sometimes into criticism. We've heard some of that tonight. But it's still part of the American way of life."

Then the entire ensemble performed "When the Saints Go Marching In."

In a statement, NBC said, "Kanye West departed from the scripted comments that were prepared for him, and his opinions in no way represent the views of the networks.

"It would be most unfortunate," the statement continued, "if the efforts of the artists who participated tonight and the generosity of millions of Americans who are helping those in need are overshadowed by one person's opinion."

Friday's program was the first of several TV benefits planned through next weekend.

NBC and the five other major commercial broadcast networks, along with PBS, plan to unite next Friday for a special. The same night, BET will air a benefit. And on Saturday, Sept. 10, the MTV networks will air a special.

[LiddyRules]

I think Kanye stinks, but I think we're all forgetting the big issue: the comedy. Kanye, clearly having it building up inside him the whole time, after Mike Myer's lame teleprompter read, hoping to keep everything undercontrol and West just blurting out angrily "George Bush doesn't care about black people." And those 3 seconds before they cut to Chris Tucker, seeing Myers half comprehending what he just heard, then fully getting it, then turning to Kanye. Classic.

I love it! Mike Myers' expression is PRICELESS!

I was thinking the same thing while watching it. So much was going through his head. Like some-else here posted...it was pure cringe. I was surprised to hear 1010 WINS mention this situation.

[OnePremier]

Sharpton was on tv before saying that Bush didn't act fast because all of the people were black. Why can't these assholes see that it is because they are poor people and it has nothing to do with their race. He kept saying how fast they reacted to the hurricanes in Florida last year when all those white people were in trouble. Money=Power, what is so fucking hard to understand about that. I can't fucking stand it when black people play the race card in a situation like this.

The more you contribute to society... the more society contributes to you.

Sad but true. You think this shit would be happening in Orange County, CA , or Grenich, CT?

Race doesnt have a fuckin thing to do with it.

[Hudson]

The best was tonight's Pat O'Brien showing Mike Meyers asking immediatly after his segment with Kayne: "How do I get out of here?"

[Steam]

Well, since he said GW doesn't care about the blacks, it must be true. And they wonder why we call them golfers.....for shizzle my nizzle.

That is probably one of the stupidest things I have read on this board. What does the show jokingly calling black people "golfers" have to do with anything? You say "they wonder why we call them golfers", but the real question is "Do YOU know why they are called golfers?".

I don't know the motivation in the relief effort taking FOREVER to take place in New Orleans. It would have helped if it was before an election and in a state where his brother was governor.

If that is what Kanye beliefs than that is what Kanye beliefs but you can't change or sugarcoat the fact that the relief given by the government was incredibly lackluster. You couple this, the continued decline of the Iraq situation, and the gas situation and you have a straight line to the title of one of the Worst Presidents of All-Time.

[tar_baby]

one thing we are forgetting is that many of the first responders ended up being victims of the storm itself

[Perch1019]

What a stupid fucking ignorant spade. I hope he and Farrakan both catch HIV and die a slow agonizing bathrobe ridden death. Cocksuckers!

Guess someone heard BAM on the show and wants to become the new resident racist on the board.
Nothing like being subtle about it with the name

[Skeet Slambone]

Some day you will be in dire need of assistance and the only person there will be black. I hope they don't help you.

Not mugging him will be help enough.

[Screwtape]

jesus fucking christ, lets just have a race war already to shut either side up.

[flyerfan116]

I am so sick of this shit. it is totally not a black/white issue yet that is what people keep making it out to be. How can you send rescue workers into an unsecure area? they had to wait till the storm subsided, after that the levees broke so how do you send people into that to save those who in alot of cases voluntarily stayed behind. It takes time to put together a relief/rescue effort of this size. we aren't taking about florida last year we ar talking about a million or so people who are all of a sudden homeless, there is no way to prepare for that you have to take it as it goes and deal with it as quickly as possible. Now I am a bush supporter although i do not agree with alot of his actions as of late but you can't pin a natural disaster on the man, he got a $10.5 billion relief package through congress the rescue workers are doing what they can but you have to realize they can only do so much they have to be transported in and out of the area to do the rescuing its not like they can set up camps everywhere this is a totally unique situation one that everyone seems to be criticizing but one that i have not heard an alternative acction to. what would be Kanye west's proposal for a rescue effort or al sharpton or pierce bronson i hear criticism but no suggestion its all bullshit. New orleans is a major US city, 8 refineries and several military bases have been destroyed to say the gov't does not care b/c most of the population is black is completely asinine

[tar_baby]

and lets not forget that they were shooting at the rescuers....even though this was not the majority, it is still hard to rescue the law-abiding citizens when you have some thugs shooting at you

[Myhairygrundle]

You couple this, the continued decline of the Iraq situation, and the gas situation and you have a straight line to the title of one of the Worst Presidents of All-Time.


One of the worst posts of all time. Please let us all know how the federal government controls gas prices.

Unemployment low
Home ownership high


Both of those are good things, but you can't blame those on the president.

[OnePremier]

keep in mind people...

Standing, published, FEMA guidelines state that first response is a local responsibility, and state and local officials should not expect help for 72 to 96 hours from the Federal government. The entire system is designed so FEMA can come in and help coordinate long-term cleanup and other emergency measures, under the assumption that state and local governments will first do their job.

Exactly. :clap:

There should've been more preparations done on the local and state levels to begin with. FEMA is to assist in these preparations especially when a state of emergency is in effect. If Bush was such a racist prick, he would've delayed the decision in declaring a state of emergency. But instead, it was declared as soon as the hurricane's track was known with great certainty, which in this case was Saturday.

This should fall on the hands of the local and state government, yet it's always popular to blame Bush for everything. One of my co-workers, who happens to be black, said something really disturbing to me. She said that Bush is such a racist and had Clinton been in office...everyone would be safe because Clinton always went out of his way for black people. Which I then asked her...."Really? And what sort of things has Clinton done for black people??" She paused and just couldn't give me an answer. She had no clue, yet she spoke as if Bush was the devil and Clinton was the greatest president in US history.
