I saw a clip of that, totally out of line.
Just shows how ignorant and uneducated he is about the whole situation in NO.
It's not about race but class, poor people always get the shaft because they don't vote. And the line where he complains about "them getting permission to come down here and shoot us", you fucken moron, i'm sure that order was directed at the looters

I usually like a support Kanye, but not in this instance

I think you say crazy things when you get emotional. I agree that this was a little extreme though for anyone.

On a sidenote, MIke Myers looked pretty freaked out when he said those things.

i watched a bit of it , and although i like Kayne west music i think he was totally wrong on that point . sometimes you should ask people their advice when they dont know whats going on
