Kayne West makin\' a fool out of himself live on TV.
-
the best part is mike myers and chris tucker with the same "did he just say that" look on their faces
-
lmao
celebs have such a low IQ. It\'s a shame people even listen to them when it comes to anything other than entertainment.

haha. I know..I half expected Mike Myers to go........."WHAT THE FUCK?" and Chris Tucker go......"And now to you, Nancy......."
:D
-
hahahaha:laughing:
I missed it I am on my way to work have to be there at 5am.
So I was sleep.
But he\'s not lying. :rofl: kanye West you got balls son.

I like Kanye\'s music but damn this takes the cake. I thought it was bad enough when at the press interview after the American Music Awards he said enough with the pc bullshit that it was fixed and whatnot because he was nominated for a few awards but didn\'t win. But to stumble thru the whole segment then say that, wow.
PS Atleast he has Quddus\' approval
-
what an idiot lol
thats just so painful to watch but yet i cant take my eyes off it
classic celebrity breakdown!
-
That was quite a surprise and funny.
-
he sounded a little incoherent and nervous
-
Typical Kanye. Taking something that has nothing to do with him and making it all about him.
That was neither the time nor the place to air out his dislike for the president. The telecast was about raising money for the people affected by Katrina. They don\'t give two shits about Bush right now. People are still dying in the fucking streets.
It took balls to say some shit like that on national TV but the cynical side of me thinks it was all about free publicity (especially with the new album JUST coming out).
-
Not that I should even reply to such a ridiculous statement.. but yeah, Bush hates black people.
That\'s why the last two Secretaries of State have been African-American, and the latter of those is a woman for crying out loud.
-
*Duffs cap to Mike Myers for trying to look like he actually gives a shit*
-
lol, looked like he was building himself up to say it cause he was how should i say "skurred"?
-
there\'s a fine line between "having balls" to say that on TV, and "thinking with your balls".... I\'m gonna jump on that second train. He\'s not exactly an intellectual, after all...he\'s just another guy talking over beats. (not to diminish hip-hop / rap, as many of you know I\'m a fan of many rap artists...if it was Thom Yorke saying that shit I would have said "he\'s just a guy who plays guitar for a living, WTF is he opening his mouth for... )
-
Once again a celeb opens there mouth and retarded shit blurts out.
-
Blubbering scared about to cry dumb ass.
That\'s right, bitch! Looters? Shoot to kill!
-
shameless self promotion.
He didn\'t say it to help anyone, but himself.
-
Its does looks like this guy was promoting himself on tv.
here is the extended version of that clip. Its 8 MBytes long and it seem like it was recorded off the tv screen.

Because NO is majority black bush does not give a fuk.
IMO...Bush needs to do something quick, even if he doesn\'t visit anyone...he needs to stop worrying about Iraq & supply N.O. with money to clean this mess up cause if he doesn\'t it will just get worse
-
What was he saying about have permission to shoot us?
-
kayne should have said "george bush doesn\'t care about lazy people"

I believe they are calling in like a few thousand if not more troops to help with the relief, watch the news today?

oh, looks like i hit a sensitive spot with quddus

The governor gave the Marshall Law order, therefore, military are allowed to shoot on site looters.
"blah blah blah...they gave permission to shoot us."

shoot \'em, let natural selection sort them out
-
Kayne West stands for what he thinks ! That\'s cool.
mm, you are pathetic.
-
Well he\'s pretty ignorant then!
-
OK, if you said so: than mm is pathetic and ignorant. :D
(Sorry, it was too easy to play the ball back)
-

are you 14?
watch the link again
he was so nervous to do a publicity stunt
-
Maybe he was shaking because he was emotinally overwelmed ?! Maybe because he was a black man, saying what he thinks in a live TV show... his voice was cut at the end... hm... better don\'t say anything bad about your president on TV ?
-
Yea, The Eye, how do you not realize what Kanye did was wrong? They get him to help the aid, being a well known star and he turns it around to get attention put on himself. How big of a douche do you have to be to do something like that? Even better though is that you buy into what he said. And yea, because he\'s a black man speaking his mind we cut him off. :rolleyes: Maybe it was more because he\'s an idiot speaking his mind.
-
What has he done wrong ? He has used TV as a platform to raise an opinion... so does Bush.
-
wtf do they teach over there in deutschland?
that live TV is a good platform for musicians to puke up thier political bullshit? thought they still burned books over there
-
There is MTV in Germany?
Seriously come on he used a TV platform that was suppose to be for the relief effort not for a shameless plug on his feelings towards the president. That event was to raise money and make things better not bitch about the president. Does that make sense to you now? Probably not though, damn I was born in Germany your killing me here.
-
anyone else see the celine dion interview?
what a cunt
complaining about everything, yet sitting in a chair in front of a camera crying.
at least macy gray flew to texas to help out

If you need to ask that, than you\'re dumber than I thought. What\'s wrong with it? It was suppose to be a platform to raise money for the people suffering. It was not a platform for him to speak his opinion on the President. Nor was it the time and place.
You sir, are an idiot.
-
Kayne West was stupid and wrong, plain and simple. You don\'t use a live TV program to raise funds for the victims to spew your political bullshit that is more slander than anything else.

tru..no doubt... he should\'ve never made that statement..it was neither the time nor place to spout such political nonsense...

I showed my roommates that and they were like "what the fuck?" They couldn\'t believe he said that.

Useless talking head. Can\'t even properly read the posters behind the camera.

Bush arrived in the besieged river city Sunday aboard the USS Iwo Jima -- the command center for federal relief efforts. (Watch video on Bush\'s return to the coast -- 1:37)
The president was welcomed by Mayor Ray Nagin, military operations chief Lt. Gen. Russel Honore and Coast Guard Vice Adm. Thad Allen, the new head of the federal relief effort. (Allen profile)
Allen replaced Michael Brown, the embattled director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, who was called back to Washington on Friday.
Bush also is expected to travel Monday to Gulfport, Mississippi, one of the state\'s hardest hit cities. Katrina slammed ashore the Louisiana coast east of New Orleans on August 29 with 140 mph winds and a 20-foot storm surge.
The visit is the president\'s third to the region since the disaster.
Two days after the storm hit, Bush surveyed Katrina\'s destruction from Air Force One on his way back to Washington from Crawford, Texas, where he had spent a month\'s vacation. He visited other parts of the region in two subsequent visits.

Talking head??? Looks like we have one on our top positions!
Correct me if I\'m wrong, Bush was on vacation(Surprise?) WHILE THE HURRICANE HIT?
For the record, all of you are full of it. I\'m damn sure that if NO was to be full of white middle-class or even middle-class alone, something would of been done about it.
Uh-oh, here come the ad hominem attacks!

What did you expect him to do? Tell the Hurricane he will work with the U.N. to disarm it?

You\'re right. I wouldn\'t call my vacation short either...It wasn\'t THAT big of a deal.
Haha, that was a good one. I guess the hurrican had Bush\'s way of thinking. Destroy and kill first, ask questions later.

i guess Dick Cheney is a fictional character

Why am I not surprised by your lack of factual posting regarding this?
First of all the President never really takes a "vacation". Washington DC is always empty in August. How many hurricane\'s have hit the US in the past couple of years??? Uh oh a storm is coming - summon everyone back to Washington DC!!! The damage wasn\'t caused during the Hurricane as the levee\'s didn\'t break until Tuesday morning - and the exact cause of them breaking is not known as of now.
Secondly, NO is run by a black Democratic Mayor and LA is run by a Democratic Governor. Ever think that just maybe the wrong leadership was in place locally? Of course not.
As for us being full of it? Take your own advice from another thread in this forum and do us a favor by slitting your own throat.

Supposedly those levees were falling apart years ago and this was the issue for years (couldn\'t fix them or something due to funding).
-
Who\'s responsibility is it to fund for the repairs of this, the mayor and the state government, thats the most corrupt city government, makes LA\'s look good.

LOL. You\'re the best.

Kayne spoke what he felt. Only reason that statement causes any problems is that most people no that it\'s true.
I don\'t have any doubts that bush could give a rats ass about black people. It\'s probably true and most people know it.

I don\'t think it\'s necessarily black people. I think its just the ones that don\'t have enough to contribute to his campaign. I find it funny how people like Giga are willing to castrate themselves for this man, when there was obviously a lack of responsibility from the federal government also. And being the head of government, he takes the blame, thats life.
If it was a state that had a majority concentration, that place would of been evacuated in a week.
-
Yeah, Bush clearly doesn\'t care about black people. He shoves them off in no name white positions like Secretary Of State.

Only reason it caused any problems is because it was a fundraiser. It was not about any political party. It was about getting money for the people standing in waist high water. Did Kayne care about that? No. He cared about a moment to make himself known and that is all.

funny how people like jimmy the greek lose thier job for an opinion and noone blinks an eye at kanye

all those people would have jobs and cars and all that other priveledged stuff that only white people are allowed to have. Everyone knows that black people aren\'t offered the same educations as the rest of us, and that fathers are not allowed to stick around the house and actually raise they kids so they don\'t end up as criminals or on welfare. It\'s a white conspiricy...

mystiq,...i think you all know by now that almost at every turn, whenever there was some racial unjustice goin on (mostly something bein unfairly done to blacks, i\'m all over it),..but you can\'t blame bush on this one really...maybe race did have a small role in it, but not much,..i mean c\'mon it\'s not like this thing came out of no-where, they were trackin\' that thing for weeks...not to mention that the mayor himself had over 400 buses at his disposal to evacuate people from his city.(yeah even the one\'s that had NO WAY to get out)...then he has the nerve to pop s**t about the gov\'t sendin\' help....
all that money that the casino\'s were makin\' down there and not one cent went to makin\' those levee\'s stronger...when they knew someday something like this would happen....

Sometimes I think you hope that there is racial discrimination... so people can have sympathy for you.

Storm built in only 2 days. Came across as a cat 1. Didn\'t go cat 3 till the day before.
Casinos aren\'t even in the same state as the levees.
Getting the people evacuated is completely the Mayor\'s fault. I remember watching those people file into the Superdome thinking that would be a total hell hole. Even if the place survived, it was known that it wouldn\'t have power. Why would you want to go into a place like that with no power and no running water. Man, the stench.
Why he didn\'t buss the people out of town is beyond me.

I guess you haven\'t been through Shreveport in a while. It is impossible to miss Harrah\'s while driving down I-20.

Louisiana doesn\'t have nearly the amount of casinos as mississippi has.
Does Louisiana bring in a half a mill a day in taxes from casinos?

Louisiana

Riverboat -- $334,461,738

Fiscal Year 2002 -- $393,129,090
Riverboat -- $335,558,157
Land Based (New Orleans) -- $57,570,933
Based on those figures - LA brings in $1,095.613 a day in tax revenue.
http://www.ncsl.org/programs/econ/taxrevenue.htm
Another site based on the gaming commissions from each state show that LA brings in more tax revenue from casino\'s than MS. Though you are correct in that MS has more casino\'s they do not bring in the same tax revenue due to LA higher tax rate.

Well sweet. Then I guess it just shows you how freaking corrupt that freaking town is.
