It would have been more accurate if he'd said George Bush doesn't care about poor people.
The reason Kanye said that he does not care about black people is because 67% of New Orleans is black. If this had occured in another city say...Boston the response would definitely been different.
After 9/11 the Armed forces were swarming New York later that afternoon. They knew about the Hurricane one full week in advance and knew New Orleans would take a direct hit. At that point, the armed forces could have been waiting with supplies in an outlying city. You could also argue that the Louisiana National Guard was sent to Iraq, but the US is based on a white society. There are more poor white people in the US (40% of all on welfare are white) yet more minorities (blacks esp) are in prisons and an overwhelming majority of blacks are waiting to be executed, blacks can't catch a cab in NYC, and etc. There are many examples of institutionalized racism in the US.
During the 2000 election, where Florida was the deciding state, people in Dade county (predominantly black) were not allowed to vote because somehow they ended up on a list of people that were convicted felons and therefore not allowed to vote. Who is the Govener of Florida? Jeb Bush.
The US is a white society.
As for looting everyone can fuck off. These are desperate people and these are desperate times. What good is it to keep food? So some people are taking some electronics, that's the least they should get after being abandoned by thier government. These are people that have been systematically enslaved to never be able to advance (don't give me that Oprah and Puff Daddy shite the only way they advance is by playing the white mans game). Those being looted have insurance. Insurance companies and big business are the real thieves.
