And he isn't finished yet - appearing on ELLEN DeGENERES' US television chat show this morning (09SEP05), West insisted Bush and other politicians knew America's Gulf Coast couldn't withstand a hurricane a year before Katrina hit.
"A year ago I was on tour with USHER and we had a hurricane hit Florida and everybody was saying, 'If this hurricane went to Louisiana, if it went to Mississippi, they wouldn't be able to handle it.' (That was) a year ago - and there was nothing done about it."
So USHER is the government now?
And while Mississippi is a horrid mess right now, and the effected areas of Alabama they aren't as bad as New Orleans
that had everything to do with the unique nature of New Orleans which was a probable outcome.
Now ... Had this been all the stuff mentioned int he article I could have let this slide
however...
He said, "Back in the days when it was time to clean the kitchen I would try to sweep the dust under the kitchen sink instead of really taking care of it, and if you spilled something on that floor all that dust came right up in front of your face. That's basically what the flood did.
"They have been trying to sweep us (African-Americans) under the kitchen sink and it was so in people's faces and so on TV... that they couldn't even hide it any more.
"Down there, people are living below the poverty level to start off with, before this happened.
Newsflash: People in New Orleans have been bellow the poverty level for decades now.
the fact you try to bring this up as race when not only has the "black" party dominated the city so have black -people-
go back to cleaning the kitchen Kanye maybe the dust will come out of your ears
