Although usually found in the news or media for his songs and lyrics, Kanye West has found another way to get himself on the frontpage. When shocking not only viewers but also unsuspecting and helpless producers and guest, Kanye West himself couldnt even realize how much coverage he was goingto receive for his outburst. On September 1, 2005 Kanye West stated bluntly that "George Bush doesn't care about black people." No one in or on the stage had exspected something of this emotional power to happen on this set. Because of this the feed went live over television uncensored. This not only gave the media something to tear at but it gave the world a shock most unexspected.
Although I do entitle Kanye West to his own opinion I strongly disagree with what he said and where he stated it. Emotions were hard enough at this time and people were'nt looking for more reasons to be distressed. To say such a shocking state will on bring people to the edge of their seats and we needed people to be calm and together at this time of need. A natural disaster, exspecially one as destructive as Hurricana Katrina, calls for a moment where people need to set aside their problems with others and work in unity. To say suck a mentally distracting staement such as he did on live television only created a barrier from what we were striving for.
