Kanye West: George Bush doesn't care about Black people

On live television during a fundraiser for victims of Hurricane Katrina, Kanye West declares that President of the United States of America, George Bush, "doesn't care about Black people".

@@advilpm359 EDIT: I'm keeping my original post below while admitting in this edit it was ignorant and snobbish. Please see my response to Tyrone Stevens in the comments below. Original post: Speak the truth? What he said was nearly unintelligible. He couldn't form a sentence. If you want to convey a message, coming across as an uninformed, bumbling idiot isn't the way to do it. There's no doubt he knew what he wanted to say, but nerves and anger got the best of him. He should've come prepared with exactly what he wanted to convey.

The whole spot was supposed to be longer, it was fully scripted but Kanye said “it was too emotional of a situation” and that he was going to go off and improv. Mike is the only one reading the teleprompter here and nobody had any idea what Ye was gonna say, hence everybody’s reaction and then the cutaway. Myers and Tucker both said that they were proud of Kanye for saying what everybody wanted to say, but didn’t have the balls to.

"Good" people don't go to heaven, because there's no such thing as a "good" person. The bible says that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
