Don't Let Them Marginalize Kanye West!
Kanye's speech (see it here):
"I hate the way they portray us in the media. We see a black family that says they're looting. We see a white family that says they're looking for food & you know it's been five days because most of the people are black & even for me to complain about I would be a hyprocrite because I try to turn away from the TV because it's too hard to watch. I've even been shopping before even giving a donation, so now I'm calling my business manager right now to see what's the biggest amount that I can give. And just to imagine if I was down there, those are my people down there, so anybody out there that wants to do anything with the setup the way America is setup to help the poor, the black people, the less well off as slow as possible. I mean the Red Cross is doing everything they can. We already realize that a lot of the people that can help are at war right now fighting another way and they've given them permission to go down & shoot us."
Kanye West is right. George Bush doesn't care about black people. They DID refer to blacks as looters and whites as looking for food. THey could have evacuated the largely poor, black people left behind to drown in New Orleans beforehand. How much money do Americans have collectively? The lack of a community spirit resulted in thousands of deaths - probably poor, black deaths.
Notice the NBC spokeswoman claimed that Kanye West had gone off script. She indicates they would have censored him if the person with his finger on the button had realized Kanye West was SPEAKING FOR HIMSELF. Then, they DID censor him on the West Coast. By the way, the American airwaves are a PUBLIC resource. NBC has federal permission to use them, but does not own them.
So much for "freedom of speech" or speaking the truth for that matter.
Buy Kanye West's CDs, as I did, to demonstate support for him and his comments.
