Snip: < think Hurricane Katrina has exposed America for what it is. I think it’s bigger than black and white. I think it has a lot more to do with rich and poor…we know the levels of racism that are in America. It shows that America doesn’t give a damn about people in the hood.

America is the most powerful country in the world, but it takes us four days to get to hurricane victims? The things that took the government four days to do are the same things they could’ve been done as soon as the hurricane hit. They could have flown helicopters in there or something. America is the most powerful country and the proudest country when it feels like it. They said they couldn’t get down there for different reasons, but those were just excuses. I sent a tour bus full of water and supplies to Mississippi. …My driver filled the bus up twice with water, food, and supplies before the American government did.>

Snip: <’m glad Kanye said what he said on NBC. The President never gave a damn about black folks. …I believe that if CNN had shown more white people stuck in New Orleans, the government would’ve reacted quicker.

I blame Bush for the time it took for them to react to the situation. I blame Bush for not taking this situation as seriously as they did after 9/11. …Where was he when we needed him? This is our President!>
