Kanye West, fresh off his front page story on Time Magazine, is letting the world know how blacks are being treated down in New Orleans. "George Bush doesn't care about black people," he said last night on NBC's benefit concert. He said the effort was slow and deliberate and for his truth he was quickly shut off and the cameras switched to another presenter.
Before he was silenced, he added, "We already realized a lot of the people that could help are at war right now, fighting another way, and they've given them permission to go down and shoot us." He was referring to shoot-on-sight orders issued to National Guard troops in New Orleans. Do you see a pattern here? Creating a chaotic situation and then start shooting civilians because the chaos you created is forcing an everyman-for-themselves atmosphere. It's sick.
Now matter how you look at it, from any angle, the people of Louisiana and Mississsippi were fucked. And they remained fucked days later. This death toll will dwarf 9/11 so they can finally put that intelligence blunder that Bush oversaw to bed and they can finally focus on this domestic cluster-fuck that Bush oversaw. This is the watershed moment we have been waiting for, the tipping point is now.
Expecting the Right or the media to really get this is wishful thinking. The Republicans will never admit they did anything wrong and the media will begrudgingly follow this story because there is not a runanway white bride or little blond girl missing.
Thank god there is oil down there or they would be completely fucked.
Kanye sets it on blast.
