Hurricane Katrina.. why the relief came to late..
Kanye West, a hip hop favourite of mine spoke in a direct TV show in the States during the relief work of the hurricane Katrina, and what he had to say was what many had thought about but few said..
Kanye is THE man since he as an artist choose to speak out to the viewers during a direct TV casting wich most probably would have been cut if not performed live ... Reaching so many, to give them a new view about media & the president..
Have a look for yourself!

But most important for speking his mind and letting us from the rest of the world know that there are actually some americans who cares.. both about the black victims of Katrina and about the war..

West: I hate the way they portray us in the media. You see a black family, it says, "They're looting." You see a white family, it says, "They're looking for food." And, you know, it's been five days [waiting for federal help] 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, and just to imagine if I was down there, and those are my people down there. So anybody out there that wants to do anything that we can help -- with 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!
