Who unwired Kanye Wests' jaw?

Sir Lancerlot · 09-03-2005, 04:33 PM

Ok, I have to say. Kanye West made some of the most ignorrant comments I've heard from a celebrity in a long time. Someone please wire that mans jaw shut again. I mean, ripping on Bush for the slow progress, and saying he hates blacks....This was a fundraiser, not a politcal show. Those comments had no place during the program last night

I notice your posting from Florida is this Jeb?

Sonicxtacy02 · 09-03-2005, 04:47 PM

what did he say that was ignorrant? Sounds to me he said what a high percentage of the population and specifically the majority of NO thinks. Course you wont hear those people speak on CNN.

Its ig'nant.

Honestly, I'm glad he got to say it. Stuff like that is good for stirring up people and making them think. Kind of like Michael Moore when he won the Oscar and went off on his tirade.

All of hollywood is ****ed up.

I would be careful trying to tie it to race so offhandedly, but, yeah, it was a horrible disaster response. IMO, for what it's worth(not a lot), right or wrong, those comments were innapropriate at that juncture. If you want to go do a Larry King interview, then fine, pull your anti-Bush racism card... but in that situation it was too exploitative.

Exactly. I'm not crazy about Bush but from what I've seen of this Kanye guy (before the benefit incident) he sure comes off as a cocky, self-deluded nobody.

frodobaggins · 09-03-2005, 11:39 PM

But I've really never heard of him, one sec, lemme google.

shizzle · 09-03-2005, 11:43 PM

you mean you never heard that annoying *** song with jamie foxx trying to sing?

EsKALad · 09-03-2005, 11:55 PM

lol people get mad at him for speaking the truth. but i dont think its the president doesnt care about blacks. i think he doesnt care about anyone but himself in general.

HHdesign · 09-04-2005, 12:26 AM

He's some guy who had a spill with destiny, and now is so full of him self he thinks his **** dont stink.

I agree that he shouldn't of went off with the racism card. However, he was within boundaries mentioning Bush's incompetence and failure to react within time. The fundraiser was getting money up, because they needed help. "Hey, look, not even the President is helping, we need you!".

Bush is a penis-head for waiting. I seriusly think the man should resign from his job, simply because he causes more harm than good.

Ummmm.... since when are the critics experts on emergency response? Maybe it could have been faster - maybe not. I'm just a guy who watches the news, with no particular expertise of my own in the area of responding to hurricanes and floods, but I've not heard anybody WITH expertise comment about it being too slow. I've heard plenty of people who were understandably stressed out at the whole thing and don't want to spend one minute longer than absolutely necessary in that situation, but really.

There was a hurricane, and then the whole damn place was flooded. There are only so many roads going into/out of NO, and I think they are almost (if not absolutely) over bridges. Helicopters have been flying in and pulling out people by the bucketful, and getting shot at by complete idiots in the process. Personnel who should have been able to concentrate on search & rescue had to be diverted in order to address the roaming gangs. Etc., etc., etc.

I thnk the comparisons to 9-11 that have been casually thrown around are not really accurate. That was a very concentrated event that didn't disable the whole damn city the way the hurricane/flood did in NO. All the victims were in one pretty small area (looking only at NYC, and not counting the Pentagon or the PA crash at this point).

Anyway, I really hope we ARE doing everything we can for NO (and the other affected cities/areas). I find it hard to accept the idea that the rescue effort is in any way less than full merely because the victims are overwhelmingly black and/or poor. That being said, I would prefer to hear the assessment from somebody who knows what the hell they're talking about, rather than from some politician (or wannabe politician) with an axe to grind or some jerk-off rap star who doesn't know **** from shinola.
