He was on the NBC Telethon.. Which was designed to raise money for the hurricane people.. Live.
But, he came out and talked about how when they show black people on stealing on TV, they are "looting". They show white people on TV they are "robbing to live"..
He said that they are helping the people in new orleans as slow as possible because they are black, and that things would be moving faster if we didn't have people in Iraq. Then he complained about how they gave the soldiers permission to shoot the people in New Orleans..
Mike Myers then went into the pre-written material after looking at Kanye..
Then Kanye responded with, "George Bush doesn't care about black people."
Mike Myers just gave him this look.. It was funny as shit. Then they cut it off to Chris Tucker..
There's a video of it in the General Hip Hop section..
Here's some text from the telethon..
“I hate the way they portray us in the media. If you see a black family, it says, ‘They're looting.’ You see a white family, it says, ‘They're looking for food.’
“It's been five days because most of the people are black, And even for me to complain about it, I would be a hypocrite because I've tried to turn away from the TV because it's too hard to watch.
“I've even been shopping before even giving a donation, so now I'm calling my business manager right now to see what is the biggest amount I can give…the way America is set up to help the poor, the black people, the less well-off, as slow as possible. I mean, the Red Cross is doing everything they can. We already realize a lot of people that could help are at war right now, fighting another way and they've given them permission to go down and shoot us!”
