Jesus Walks, Kanye Sucks
For those of you who haven't seen this by now, here is our beloved Mr. West during last Friday's "Concert for Hurricane Relief," which aired live on NBC and its affiliates. Watch the clip now.
Ah, the race card. Kanye, first of all, lest you forget, you are not a member of the minority that matters anymore. We Mexicans not only procreate in numbers far more significant than you, but we actually work shittier jobs, get paid less, and don't enjoy citizen status. So hoooold your high horses...Secondly, yes, the people that have been trapped in New Orleans are "so poor, and they are so black." How very astute of you to fucking notice. It's not like that's the way it's been since the Reconstruction era, you douche bag. For the record, they are not "your people," though I'm sure you would love to have us believe that. Those people are the Deep South. They comprise the poorest states in the union. How convenient of you to suddenly take note of their existence.
<.facetious bit> And lastly, I would have to agree with you that "George Bush doesn't care about black people." It was practically his campaign platform, after all. In fact, I'll go a step further and say that he hates them. Every night, he lies awake in bed dreaming up new ways to help white people. And Iraqis. And Asians. And pretty much everyone else in the world besides black people. Especially black people in Louisiana and Mississippi. He probably cares the least about them. <./facetious bit> Seriously though, you can almost see Kanye sneak in a "and Republicans are the party of the KKK!"
Hey, how about this one - George Bush doesn't care about dickwad celebrities who think it's their right and responsibility to politicize and criticize during televised relief drives... and neither do we. We all fucking know those people are now even more destitute than they already were. Well on 150 years of disenfranchisement is not the big, black elephant in the room you want to make it, old boy. So stick to your job, and get people to donate money and encourage them to help, not piss them off with your soap box fucking antics.

Also, did you see Mike Myers' face during the rant. He was mustering every bit of concentration to block out what was happening and focus on doing his job. Now that's Professional Grade! As for the rant, I think it did more to hurt the cause than to help it. When my friends first saw Kayne on the TV they were like oh hell yeah, but when he started talking you could see the obsceneties they were holding back from saying... and believe me they weren't nice
Nice post. I agree with ya Vince. Celebs should leave the political jabs to the pros like Jon Stewart. The Daily Show was awesome last night in its critical assessmanet of Bush's failure during Katrina. It was funny but also very sad because Bush is actually doing this stupid shit.
....annnnnndddd cut to our Magical Black Entertainer, Chris Tucker, whose biggest racial dilemma is the inability of Asians to dance like Michael Jackson.
Great, great, great post Vince. I put my own take on this over at my site but your's sums it up sooo much better.
What about the Mayor of New Orleans or the Governor of Louisiana? Do they have no responsibility in the matter? Do they not care for black people either?
Scmuck.
