There was a large degree of truth to what he said up until he made the comment about having permission to shoot black people. There have been completely different portrails in the US media, of black people "looting grocerie stores" versus white people "finding food in grocerie stores to save themselves". This whole situation magnifies the underlying problems in this country, which unfortunately we hate to talk about, involving race and class. And, to address West’s major, news-making comment- that Bush doesn’t care about black folks- I really don’t think there is any question that, based on policies of this administration, one could very easily make a case that “W” truly does not give a damn, without extreme amounts of political pressure, enough to put into place any sort of policy that would benefit the impoverished minority in this country. So I must repectfully disagree with you on this.
My point is that there are proper places and time to voice dissent. Screwing up a telethon to raise money by spouting off does absolutely nothing for the people there. If anything, it might dissuade people from donating money.
