George Bush on Kanye’s 2005 Katrina Comment
Former US President, George Bush is out and about promoting his new book, Decision Points. In an interview with NBC which will be aired this coming Monday, Bush reveals his thoughts on Kanye West’s controversial comment. If you remember, back in 2005 after Hurricane Katrina, there was a celebrity telethon. Kanye West went on national TV and said that “George Bush doesn’t care about black people.” This was in response to the slow pace of getting aid to the people of New Orleans. I was so shocked when he said that but I remember most people felt he was speaking truth. Well, George Bush sees it a little different:
“He called me a racist,” Bush tells Lauer. “And I didn’t appreciate it then. I don’t appreciate it now. It’s one thing to say, ‘I don’t appreciate the way he’s handled his business.’ It’s another thing to say, ‘This man’s a racist.’ I resent it, it’s not true.” (more…)
