Rapper Lays on Truth, TV Station Apologizes

On the Concert for Hurricane Relief, Kanye West said: "...I hate the way they are portrayed in the media. Black families it says they are looting, white families it says the are looking for food....They've given them permission to go down there and shoot us"

"George Bush doesn't care about black people."

His statements may or may not be factual. However, it is strongly arguable that there are facts to support his assertions. Louisville, KY television station WAVE was so cowardly as to interrupt programming and send Dawne Gee, an African-American news reporter, to offer an abject apology for the comments. Shame on them. Their response may be even more racist than his comments.
