George Bush Responds To Kanye West

Tuesday, November 02 2010 10:55 PM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, True Story

Five years after Kanye West called out former President George Bush at the Hurricane Katrina telethon, Dubya tells Matt Lauer that he was so appalled by Ye’s comment. The full interview airs on NBC November 8th at 8pm.

“It was one of the most disgusting moments in my Presidency. He called me a racist. I didn’t appreciate it then. I don’t appreciate it now. It’s one thing to say, ‘I don’t appreciate the way he’s handled his business.’ It’s another thing to say, ‘This man’s a racist.’ I resent it, it’s not true.”

    5 years later? Bush, nobody remembers or cares anymore. And while Bush is NOT a racist, it’s not that bad. -_- I can guarantee worse things have been said about him, Kanye just had the guts to say it…prolly not 1 the best things Ye’s ever done, but one of the most disgusting moments in your presidency?? The war in Iraq, 9/11 and running the economy into the bits wasn’t?? gtfoh Bush. I still can’t believe those stupid Americans voted you in. TWICE.

    He’s not exactly a racist, because he doesn’t care about poor white people either.

  8. GRSN says:

  10. Shawn says:

    He was right 5yrs ago and he’s still right, in context.
    Dubya, you watch poor Black people die, live in 3rd World Conditions and have their very own Troops and Officers turn guns on them. If you think we are to believe this would fly in Beverly Hills or Greenwich CT you’re a fool..
    FOH Dubya and find a rock to live under..

    PS Kanye.. Hope you know you have a CIA file Bro.

  11. That nigga Vader says:

    Bush isnt a racist? lmfaoo thats bull shit, hes the purest racist, the exact definition of one, hates all races but his own smh

  12. ESCO says:

    I doubt the CIA gives a shit about Kanye West, they got bigger fish to fry than a rapper who made one comment. They’d rather go after the rappers that make thousands of comments and references, such as Tupac.

    Bush was not a racist against African Americans but he didn’t give a shit about what was happening in Katrina, it simply didn’t align with his administrations goals at the time, and that was to develop a fear amongst Americans regarding “terrorists” and to shape the next 10 and 20 years of America’s future (which they did successfully, this war against “Islamists” lol is that even a word??).

    Kanye is a sensitive black man.

  15. thomas says:

    should i even say how disrespectful it is as a New Yorker that he doesn’t think of 9/11 first? What a shame. George Bush, why the fuck you mad, chillin on a ranch having a beer… Let it GO

  17. Shawn says:

    It was joke Esco.. I forgot the LOL. And was referring to GW SR still being the only former President to get daily Agency Updates. I don’t think dark suits are fucking with ‘Ye.
    And no, Bush didn’t specifically target African Ameican but if you think for one second more wouldn’t have been done for affluent White folks.. I need whatever you been drinking.
    I’m hard pressed to think a fire wouldn’t have been under his ass if those people floating were White. And we know he’s not the most competent but his lack of urgency aided in deaths.. Just my opinion.

  18. dani says:

    LMAo!

    Sorry dude… it’s true. Institutions in general are racist…
    it’s not your fault, but don’t ignore the truthfulness in his statement.

    if New Orleans was manhatten, it would have been rebuilt by now. and dont kid yourselves kids.. ITS NOT.

    George Bush is a great man

  21. Drizzygonkillem says:

    it was actually clinton and the democrats who brought us to where we are now. They thought that everyone was entitled to own a home, but we can see how well that has turned out.

    The democrats want to keep you stupid so they can control you. The more dependent you are on the government, the more control they have over you. wake up

  22. DT says:

    picture = epic win

  23. NuJEW says:

    Africans loves Bush but not black Americans…

    lol

  24. DOZEZ says:

    ahhh bush TIGHT! haha

  25. Android = Closet Stan says:

    Who said something ’bout oil bitch you cookin’?
    Don’t like Bush, don’t like Ye, but, I feel for Bush though, being called out like that on live television, cats this is LIVE television watched world wide, can’t blame him for being disgusted by it. Ye’s carrer took a shit after that anyways it was gonna happen sooner or later.

  26. Android = Closet Stan says:

    Career^

  27. CaniBlog? says:

    YOOOOO mac DIESEL Spazzzzzed OUT! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

  28. Shawn says:

    @Drizzygonkillem.. Pls explain? Cliton was out of office 4yrs before the beginning of the housing boom?
    And how exactly did Democrats approve a motherfucker grossing $52K for $600K mortage?
    And the biggest mistake the Democrats made was drinking that Bush Kool Aid about the WMD we still haven’t located.
    Its like the last decade didn’t happen.. LOL

  29. RRcoolJ says:

    Kanye’s attempts at being a “true black leader” always seem a bit misguided to me. They always seem like one more moment of Kanye being Kanye. After he made his infamous George Bush statement, how much did he donate?

  30. josephgranja says:

    OH FUCK YOU MOTHERFUCKER BUSH THE WORST HUMAN BEING AND PRESIDENT PIECE OF SHIT PRESIDENT OF WAR CUCARACH

  31. [...] In an upcoming interview with NBC’s Matt Lauer, airing on November 8th, George W. finally addresses Kanye West’s comments made during this Hurricane Katrina telethon five years ago. Seems like George is tryin’ to wipe his hands clean now… “It was one of the most disgusting moments in my Presidency. He called me a racist. I didn’t appreciate it then. I don’t appreciate it now. It’s one thing to say, ‘I don’t appreciate the way he’s handled his business.’ It’s another thing to say, ‘This man’s a racist.’ I resent it, it’s not true.”- RR [...]

  32. Mr Xclusive says:

    fuck Kanye for saying that shit

  33. j. says:

    LMAO!!!!!!!!!!! georgia bush this picture is tellin me that ye’s statement was true,and your actions during the horrible years of you bein the a president also proves kanye’s statment #Kanyeshrug

  34. HAHAHAHA says:

    The fact that Obama AND Bush answered back to Ye, proves that he’s now Music industry #1 LEGENDARY ICON. I assure you, if Wakka Flocka said the shit ye said, the impact wouldn’t have been the same. Jay-z said alot about bush and he never answered back to him. Kanye is the truth, ok time to get off his dick now. Arcade Fire = Best Band Alive

  35. sideshowRaheem says:

    @RRcoolJ

    You need to go back and watch the full video of that incident. Before he said the thing about Bush he talked about the money that he personally donated….and I’m sure it was more then you or I gave so GTFOH with that shit.

  36. Haters are annoying--> Android, Mac Weasel, and others says:

    FUCK HONKEY BUSH..THE WORST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY, GOOD RIDANCE

  37. Haters are annoying--> Android, Mac Weasel, and others says:

    @SHADY OF COURSE U LIKE GEORGE BUSH

  38. J says:

    Cliff notes version of what Bush really wanted to say: “No one man should have all that power.”

    Kanye is the most powerful celebrity i’ve witnessed. Dude has sitting and ex presidents witth his name in their mouths. hilarious.

  39. Ell B says:

    lol @ the thought of Waka Flacka being allowed to speak at a nationally televised fundraiser.

  40. Clos1881 says:

    @ youngchiilll speak for yourself I thought he was racist lol

  41. Clos1881 says:

    It’s not just Katrina bush showed his disregard for minorities with several issues like how he handle immigration

  42. Black McJagger says:

    dude to his right is clearly on roids

  43. Jaye says:

    But, you ARE a racist Pres. Bush.

  44. sideshowRaheem says:

    Regardless of whether you agree with Kanye dude sure knows how to get people going. How the fuck does any musician have 2 presidents commenting on what they do and say.

  45. ironic says:
