Did you see that live broadcast of Kanye West and Mike Myers asking for Hurricane aid? They had cue cards but Kanye improvised everything, putting Myers in a bit of spot. Kanye was stammering and rambling a lot, obviously nervous and emotional. It's really hard to watch, but reading a transcript, he makes a few valid points:
"I hate the way they portray us in the media. If you see a black family it says they are looting if you see a white family it says they are looking for food."
"We already realize a lot of the people that could help are at war now fighting another way, and they’ve given them permission to go down and shoot us."
Then...
"George Bush doesn't care about black people. Please--" Cut to Chris Tucker.
Quit while you're ahead, Kanye
