Kanye West Proves Why He Is Indeed A "College Dropout"

Kanye West at the NBC Concert for Hurricane Katrina Relief:

Mike Meyers reads off prompter … switches to black singer, Kanye West:

"I hate the way they portray us in the media.

"If you see a black family it says they are looting if you see a white family it says they are looking for food.

"And you know that it’s been 5 days because most of the people are black and even for me to complain … I would be a hypocrite because I would turn away from the TV because it’s too hard to watch. I’ve even been shopping before giving a donation and so right now I’m calling my business manager what is the biggest amount I can give.

"And just to imagine if I was down there, those are my people down there. So anybody out there who wants to help with the set up, the way that America is set up to help … The poor, the black people, the less well off as slow as possible. I mean, Red Cross is doing everything they can.

"We already realize a lot of the people that could help are at war now fighting another way and they’ve given them permission to go down and shoot us."

(Mike Meyers tries to get back on prompter, reads from script and then camera cuts back to Kanye. He pauses before

Kanye West: "George Bush doesn’t care about black people."

Then camera abruptly switches to Chris Tucker who is in another location.


Dear Kanye,

First off, this is probably the worst time to voice your own political beliefs, being as uniformed and pathetic as yours most certainly are. You can’t even put a sentence together.

I am not a Bush fan in any sense, but c'mon, this hurricane is not his fucking fault. Get over it. There are agencies in place to deal with these things, read the news.

Secondly, I am sick of celebrities running around acting like they are political scientists or something. At least learn to express yourself (without using other peoples ideas, like samples in all of your songs) before opening your stupid fucking mouth, which at this point, I wish was still wired shut.

Lastly, you were chosen because the public must have thought you would be a good person to reach out to all races of people and motivate them to donate money. Personally, you came off as a huge racist and bigot to me, and probably to a lot of others. It only takes one dumb asshole to ruin a large groups’ unselfish efforts in a time of need for so many of our citizens, (not just blacks) and you totally fucking ruined it.

If Jesus really does walk, I bet he would kick you squarely in the balls.
