Photographic proof that George Bush DOES care about black people.

A phrase said by shitty nigra hip-hop artist Kanye West on a Red Cross telethon when he went completely off script and started freestyling (because he's so talented) about how the New Orleans situation is being handled with regard to Hurricane Katrina.

The telethon sponsored by the Red Cross included several celebrities talking about hurricane Katrina and reading pre-written scripts off of a teleprompter. Kanye West and Mike Myers of Wayne's World IIand "Cat In the hat" fame were to do a dual narration and read the script while images of the hurricane's effects played in montage behind them.

Mike Myers dutifully read his part verbatim. When Myers looked over to cue Kanye West to speak his part, Kanye went completely off script, spouting gems which will be legendary on the internets for decades. Kanye stopped his tirade and Mike Myers stepped right in to finish his second part of the speech, again reading it perfectly verbatim. When he was finished he looked back at Kanye and Kanye said nothing but "George Bush doesn't care about black people." Mike Myers then made a face which is fucking priceless and the producers immediately cut to Chris Tucker who looks completely dazed and begins spouting any crap he can come up with such as "Help! Please help. HELP HELP HELP!" and other nonsense which is on topic but was just as inarticulate.

Reactions

The reactions in the mainstream media were as expected and NBC, the sponsor of the telethon said some bullshit about how Kanye's criticism doesn't speak for them, blah blah. But the internets populace made icons, image macros and posted the links all over the internets.

"Kanye is right." remarks W.
