I don’t believe that Kanye’s comments actually changed anyone’s mind about the money that they would donate. People that are willing to donate usually ignore the comments from both sides of the extreme.

Most of the damage done to the fundraising effort was (in my opinion) done by the mainstream media. He summed it up correctly saying that the blacks were shown as “looters” while the whites were shown as “looking for food”. Although with the sheer amount of donations I think his impact was nil.

However thinking that the Government
(and I assume you meant the Federal
Government) intentionally reacted slowly because of race is outright foolishness. It perpetuates the race problem.

Feel free to attack the Mayor for failing to force a mandatory evacuation until 20 hours before the storm. The city’s evacuation code calls out that they need 72 hours for a complete evacuation. Fault him for failing to provide buses to the masses that needed to evacuate. Did you see all the busses under water on TV?

Lets also jump onto the Governor for being so STUPID as to wait 24 hours before putting the National Guard in place and then she did it without a “clear cut” objective.

Both of these people were members of the State and Local Government. And to make you happy one democrat and one republican.

Lets hit the Levee Board of New Orleans. Why do they own a casino? It was no secret that the levees were only rated for a class 3 hurricane. It was news last year when New Orleans dodged the bullet from Hurricane (I believe) Andrew. One year later and they own a Casino and not a new Levee? Why?

Now about FEMA. Do you know what FEMA was actually created to do? They are under the Homeland Security division of the Federal Government and intended to assist in coordinating the efforts of the State and Local Government after the disaster. When there is inaction at the local level then FEMA has no ability to do anything. They have no military to command. How many employees do you think that department has?

Let’s also focus for a bit on the FACT that Katrina’s destruction covered 90,000 square miles (five states). Why should all the media focus on New Orleans? Because ongoing tragedy makes a better story than aftermath and cleanup.

I do think it was a racist story on the television but only because they made it about the crime and violence. Did you follow up and find out that most of the rape and murders that were supposed to be occurring every few minutes still haven’t been reported to the police. Why has that not been on the Nightly News?

I think that the race story in this tragedy is that people from all backgrounds are trying to come together and help one another as AMERICANS. The people who have “agendas” are trying to use this for political advantage. I knew it would get down to politics eventually even 9/11 did. The people who are benefiting from the segregation in America didn’t even wait until we could finish cleaning up the mess.

The Family from New Orleans that my Church is hosting is neither Democrat or Republican. We are helping because they are American. Faith without works is dead.

Oh by the way did you hear the President last night? Jobs will be coming to New Orleans. Anyone who wants to work will be entitled to work for their money. More importantly the Mayor said today that his city is now crime and drug free and he wants any displaced citizen to know that when they return they will be expected to keep it that way. What the devil intends for harm, God will turn to good.

To all you ig’nint………thats right…….ig’nint…(so you can understand)….Kanye West supporters that posted.
First of all….what the fuck was he saying at that telathon? I know i’m not the only one that couldnt understand a word coming out of his mush mouth other than GW doesnt like black people. Guess you can’t expect much more from a college dropout.
Yes hes entitled to his opinion……but NOT in that forum.
Has Kanye not learned from the Dixie Chicks? Enjoy getting black balled my brotha………your career is taking a nose dive as i type this.
Thats right left America……blame GW AGAIN. Don’t you know that he has the magical power to summon the winds and rain over the ocean, directing it’s path over the gulf states. Blame him for all the damage it did as well. Because….you do realize that all the shitty things within this world is GW’s fault. You looking to place balme? Look no further than the current and past mayors of N. Orleans, along with the govs of Louisiana. How long did you know that your city couldn’t withstand a hurricane over a category 3? YOUR CITY WAS BUILT BELOW SEA LEVEL DIPSHITS! That hurricane was seen coming a week out….and still they did nothing. NOTHING! I guess you were blind by corruption in a city that rivals Columbia in crookedness.
And being a racist is a term that has been so abused over the years by many a black leader in this nation. Look who you have as representatives for yourselves. al sharpton, jesse jackson? carl mack?. and the latest….kanye west.
Man….if i were black…i would be ashamed.
It’s to the point that the word racist is watered down and has the rest of America rolling their eyes. Those that cry wolf overshadow the cases out there where racism does take place…and justice is not served. So if you want to aim your anger at something……aim it at those that throw that word around loosely. Many of you need to get that ass off the couch and take responsibility for yourselves. My tax dollars are tired of paying for those that abuse the system.
Do you really think GW really gets up in the morning….looks himself in the mirror…and says…”lets see….how can I fuck with African Americans today?”
If any of you really don’t like America and think that this country is so bad and unfair…..please do us all a favor and transplant your ass to France. That way you can all gather over there with all those other ig’nint beret wearing asses….and bitch about the greatest country on earth over wine and cheese.

“Not Racist” — your monicer is as ironic as Kanye West crying racism, when he’s the one looking at everything in black and white. At least most of the posters here aren’t buying into his and your B.S. Maybe the sqeaky wheel gets the oil on college campuses and MTV reality shows, but reasonable people are getting really tired of your type of tirades and tantrums. Johnny Cochran’s dead, so lets give the race card a rest!

Does a so called Christian judge people,, like Kayne West did? Matter of fact,, how so egotistical to say that you are beter than others by labeling your self as a christian. So what was KAyne Wests point anyway..Because If he is a so called christian, than he would’nt be standing there on national television starting racial problems. I know very well that now there will be alot of tension cause of that stupid speech( If you want to call it that)AS a gay person,, I could say well pres bush doesnt like gay people either, but how idiotic would that be,Im not that dumb,when one is suppose to be there to unite people of this nation, not segregate and to help the Red Cross. How could anyone praise someone like him is beyond me. Must be there chance to speak there racism as well. Kayne West is self centered By the way,,all white people aren’t living in an upper rich class,, and i got to ask you,, DO you love thy neighbor?? cause you sure aren’t sounding like you do. You like to quote the bible?? Maybe you should practice what you preach.

Kanye is an opportunistic 2 bit punk. I laughed out loud when the little boy began to tremble as he struggled to put together one coherent sentence during his Red Cross rant. Leave the politics to the politicians. Entertainers need to know that when they wander off track they risk offending half of their audience. The thinking half anyway. I wonder how much his selfish prank cost the Red Cross recovery effort? It is clear that Mr. West only sees things in black and white. I don’t see even a hint of “Jesus Walking” in his hateful, vacant eyes. Mr. West, we are a nation under seige by nature and by a ruthless enemy. Your childish
jab at our Commander in Chief gives aid and comfort to our enemies.
We are not black or white, we are AMERICANS. This homo just ain’t buyin Kanye’s crap.

Kanye West is a liberal idiot and anti-american, so is anyone who agrees with him. After Kanye’s rant about the President and the U.S. government being racist, I re-assessed my opinion of ole Bush and our government. Guess what, Bush now has my support. Thanks Crybaby Kanye!. New Orleans has the highest murder and crime rate in America. The majority of the criminals are black. Is that racist? It’s fact, sorry folks. After the storm hit, who told all the “poor blacks” to loot and shoot? Did Bush? Did the U.S. government? No, they chose that behavior.
To blame others for your failures is weak and a cheap cop out. Blacks as a whole need to start taking responsibility and stop whining. They have many blessings in this country that they choose not to take advantage of. No one, I repeat no one is entitled to anything and no one owes you anything. Once you accept this life will be much easier in some ways.
The sad part of this is that people sling the word racism around like a bat. When people say things, such as what I am writing, that are not popular or readily accepted it is labelled as “racist”. It’s a shame. We have become a nation of whining, spineless, crybabies. Damn, I can’t believe that there was not one “man” among those healthy young dudes. All I heard on t.v. was whining and complaining. Enough already and “Do something!”

Responding to Bobby: Blunt but,uniformed, and otherwise, looking stupid.

Responding to Joris Willems: I can tell you have not been tuned into all the activity in the US by the Christian groups and communities all over pouring their money, time, and energy into caring for the people of MS, AL, & LA. That’s the difference between Republicans and Democrats – Republicans believe in people taking care of people, and Democrats believe in the government taking care people. And as far as shooting goes, it only pretains to the idiot hoodlums that looted for profit. And to your point about West being a critic that deserves protection, (“wire his mouth shut”)if he is going to act irresponsibly by making brash comments (to get air time and sell cd’s as someone said earlier) then he needs to be properly informed. West pulled out the race card, yet no one seems to look at the first responder, mayor Ray Nagin, and apply any blame to this man. Is it because he is black and it is beyond him to not do his job and take care of people in his city. Including, most of all, african americans, since he is one. Does anyone realize that W had to persuade Nagin and Blanco to call for an evacuation because they were not doing their job! Does you realize that W cannot go into a state withouth permission by the Governor, which W was asking for permission and waiting for the go-ahead. Nagin and Blanco failed miserably, yet no one seems to see this. Why? Because the main stream media wants to blame this one W instead of seeking the truth.

Responding to Fig: Matthew 21:19, I beg to differ about your analogy. The tree dried up because Jesus had the power to make the tree dry up and he made it known that he could do this. It symbolizes not being fruitful with what GOD has given to each and everyone of us as our gift. I do not believe it have anything to do with religious systems created by men.

Finally: West is a part of the whole whether he planned it that way or not – I chose “not” I think he just stumbled into this one. If anyone will chose to look W has embraced diversity more than any other president and you can see this by the people he has brought into his cabinet. The democrats say that are the party of diversity but they do not live or show it. I think the people on this blog need to do some more research using other resources than the ABC’s, NBC’s, CBS’s, and CNN’s of the world.

Enough said.
