Kanye West Retracts Race Card Attack on Bush… Sort of

In an interview plugging his new memoir, Decision Points, with NBC’s Today anchor Matt Lauer this week, former President George W. Bush admitted that one of the lowest points of his eight-year tenure in office was when Kanye West went off prompter and announced, “George Bush doesn’t care about black people!” and that U.S. military troops were “given permission” to open fire on American citizens.

Though Bush says he wasn’t tuned in for the on-air rant broadcast via a live 2005 telethon fundraiser for victims of Hurricane Katrina, Bush recalled the incident — and how it made him feel:

MATT LAUER: You remember what he said?

PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH: Yes, I do. He called me a racist.

LAUER: Well, what he said, “George Bush doesn’t care about black people.”

BUSH: That’s – “he’s a racist.” And 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, and it was one of the most disgusting moments in my Presidency.

Further, in Decision Points, Bush writes about West’s accusation. “Five years later I can barely write those words without feeling disgust,” he says. “I faced a lot of criticism as President. I didn‘t like hearing people claim that I lied about Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction or cut taxes to benefit the rich. But the suggestion that I was racist because of the response to Katrina represented an all time low.”

Now, West is apologizing for his remarks about the former president… or at least that‘s how I’m interpreting it.  Speaking to Houston radio station 97.9, Kanye responded to Bush’s remarks:

I definitely can understand the way he feels, to be accused of being a racist in any way, because the same thing happened to me, you know, I got accused of being a racist. For both situations, it was basically a lack of compassion that America saw in that situation.

“That situation” was when West rudely upstaged country singer Taylor Swift during her 2009 Video Music Award acceptance speech.  Yes, the similarities are striking, Kanye…

With [Bush], it was a lack of compassion of him not rushing, him not taking the time to rush down to New Orleans. For me, it was a lack of compassion of cutting someone off in their moment. But nonetheless, I think we’re all quick to pull a race card in America. And now I’m more open, and the poetic justice that I feel, to have went through the same thing that he went [through]-and now I really more connect with him on just a humanitarian level because that next morning, the next morning when he felt that, I felt that same thing, too.

“Poetic justice” indeed.  There‘s no word yet on whether President Bush will accept West’s “poetic” olive branch.

    President George Bush is human, he made some mistakes. I acknowledge that fact. I believe that President Bush always had in his mind what was best for America. I do not believe that is the case with Barack Obama. I believe his agenda for change is not what he convinced American voters he was going to do. Now the voters are expressing their displeasure at being fooled. I won’t flat out call Obama a liar, but the cast majority of his promises have been discarded by this administration. The promises are on tape and the facts are they have been cast aside. The Democrats brag about their bills they passed, how great they were. The problem is, the majority of the American people tried to tell them they did not want this or that to pass. They passed them anyway. Now they make lame excuses about the midterm losses, refusing to realize that they brought this on themselves. They are supposed to represent the wishes of the American people, what did they think would happen?

      You are right on. Bush is a very smart man he may not be as eloquent in his speaking as sissy Barry who reads off of dummy boards and shows his real side (the communist side) when he goes off on his own. Bush loves America Barry is ashamed of it. Bush gave more for Aids funding than any other President and yet Barry claims just the opposite. Barry has hurt any chance for another black president. West was just saying what most black people think. Everything has to be about race. Mayor Naggin is black that is why he was let off the hook and reelected. Haiti still hasn’t gotten much help from America they are holding up the aide if the President were white they would be calling him racist.

    Of course President Bush isn’t racist, and Kanye West eliminated all doubt about whether he acted like an idiot when he tried to humiliate Taylor Swift, and instead ended up throwing up all over himself in essence in front of everybody.
    Kanye honey—just write a little note saying “I’m sorry” to President Bush and get on with your life. I think you’ll feel much better. And I know he’d forgive you.

    My children are half Irish, half Palestinian (I know, it’s a little odd.) My daughter is very dark and my son is pretty fair. My son always thought of himself as “white” and my daughter always thought of herself as “non-white” growing up. Yet we were all one happy family, and God bless us, we still are. One thing I always found amazing was that my daughter naturally associated with “non-whites“ and my son naturally associated with ”whites” from their earliest school days. It was simply what made them comfortable. However, this self imposed “separation” naturally led to getting to know each other’s friends as well. One thing my family has taught me, no matter how comfortable we are among our “own kind” for those who are open we will find that everybody truly is equal no matter their skin color. George Bush always reminded me of somebody who understood this. It shocks and amazes me that those with the most to lose under the tyranny of “racism” seem to truly be the most racist. Perhaps they should try to get to know us?

    I won’t get into details, but I was VERY involved in the Katrina relief effort. What I saw in the aftermath was tremendous needless tragedy brought on by apathy, carelessness, and a collective entitlement mentality. Those (of all races, I might add) who were working alongside me all agree it was avoidable in large measure, but Bush had nothing to do with it–this goes back to individual responsibility! For Kanye West to suggest that racism was even a factor in the response just doesn’t have a clue, and has absolutely no appreciation for the depth of charity and courage thousands of volunteers, rescue personnel, and our nation demonstrated. Screw Kanye West and all those who believe as he does!

      Sincere? Kanye did not even apologize. Meredith Jessup said she’s taking the ff. as an apology, albeit it was just her interpretation. Kanye said:
      ” I definitely can understand the way he feels, to be accused of being a racist in any way, because the same thing happened to me, you know, I got accused of being a racist. For both situations, it was basically a lack of compassion that America saw in that situation.“ and ”With [Bush], it was a lack of compassion of him not rushing, him not taking the time to rush down to New Orleans.

      Where is the apology there? Besides, the two situation he cited are NO WAY similar.

      I’m sorry but Kanye has not redeemed himself. He was wrong in calling President Bush a racist, and he is wrong even in making the comparison of him calling GWB a racist and his being called one.

      mom2my2, why is it that you think Obama has a high IQ? You do know that this little piece of information has never been revealed from the secret vault? You just think his IQ is high because that is what the sycophantic media has been saying all along. Of course, we all know that wishing does not make it so.

      I for one have never found Obama to be particularly more intelligent than the average person, nor have I ever seen any evidence to convince me of his mythical brillance. On the very rare ocassion that Obama speaks off the cuff the results are atrocious. He is unable to speak extemporaneously which means that he does not have well formed thoughts.

      Reading is fundamental, but it is not evidence of brillance.

      However, I do know that George W. Bush made all of his records public and if I recall correctly GWB has an IQ around 126, for walkwithme and 13thgenerationidiot, that is above average.

      So, since I am a relatively intelligent person I have deduced that if Obama‘s IQ were higher than Bush’s it would have been made public, which can only mean, it is not.

      Yes, 13th you are obviously brillant! So much so, that I know have to explain the joke to you.

      You see I’m well aware that 250 exceeds the quotient scale, and therein lies the funny part, in that I was implying that you having an IQ of 139 was as plausible as someone having a 250.

      Get it Mr. I’m a math engineer. Not!

      Dude, you crack me up!

      But, not in a good way.

      to walkwithme1966 Regarding your comment “Oh, good post -I like the Bush is just not bright part!!”

      Wow, I guess Kayne West and you are both able to fly Convair F-102s with the 147th Fighter Interceptor Group out of Ellington Air Force Base since you are smarter than Bush. Oh yeah, and have either you or West served for six years in the National Guard?

      Just wondering.

      Wait … How many people do you know can fly a fighter jet that aren’t very bright ???
      Bush may not be articulate in his speeches (Which I Prefer Over A Fake Like Obama), but claiming the man isn’t “bright” is simply an ignorant statement.

      The interesting thing about Katrina is how the Left wants to blame Bush, when it was Louisiana’s Governor was the one that failed the people of her State.
      Anytime there is a natural disaster, it‘s that State’s Governor & Leadership that is charge of the crisis, not a President. The President can declare a disaster and commit to aiding.
      But for some reason, the Liberals seem to forget that people were shooting at the Nation Guard when they were sent in to help.

      You and your kenyan born, muslim, president are the racist ones. All we want to do is repeal the 14th ammendment.

      Hello everyone, for those on here who already know Tea Bagging Patriot(AKA matty1631) is a union member plant then ignore this message.

      He is a Soros union member plant.

      Never is and never was a conservative or a tea party member.

      Constantly belittling the tea party members and often making racist comments.

      He’s already been exposed for the lib-tard union plant he is so just ignore him.

      He’s trying to bait real Tea Party members into agreeing with him and/or saying some of his similar hatefilled rhetoric. Don’t fall for it.

      I am here to follow this fake and counter every lying post he promotes. Sorry little matty, you lose..again.

      For anyone new take note. Thank you.

      13th…now how uneducated is your response. George Bush is very intelligent and it doesn’t further your cause when you make a blatantly dishonest statement. Of course your statement that most of us are racist…that was ridiculous. Maybe you’re just seeing a lot of people comment that are tired of being accused of racism every time a person of color is involved in an incident. It would be nice just to be able to disagree or do anything without looking to see what color people are.

If you can see the links I’ve posted then go look at the other members and all their comments to his. You will see from their comments that he has been posting them. If the links are not there then the forum moderators removed them. I put over 20 links. Hope you can see them on here.

ALl comments are meant to bate users into responding to his hateful racist comments. The moderators have mostly removed his BS but you can read other users comments on what he was saying.

      I am so sick and tired of people stating that Bush is an idiot. Idiots don’t get accepted in Hardvard and fly fighter jets. Wise up…and be honest – if you didn’t like his decisions than state that! This man had to make alot of major decisions when this country was attacked, hit by a huge hurrican, had the housing market collapse, etc. President Bush is no idiot – and I find your attack offensive and ignorant!

      Well 13th, you are one great example. I play with you again…

      Do not say how intelligent you are when grazing with the cattle. Do not pretend you are above feeding in the same pasture when picking grass from your teeth.

      Intelligence was never wisdom. Being a 13th generation “American” means diddly squat. I was invited on a Mensa sailing trip, and I have to say I have never met such a group of selfish, self absorbed, incapable idiots than that group. The rigging work, knots used, and lack of basic common sense demonstrated that day convinced me that I NEVER wanted to be counted amoungst their numbers. They tied the anchor on the aft, and then the tide rushed in raising the water level and pulling the boat down into the water. They could not untie the anchor because they used a square knot and many started to jump ship. And whilst they panicked and jumping in the river, I calmly and quickly pulled a knife and cut the anchor free. Nobody said thank you, nobody congratulated me for saving the boat, but they tried to get me to pay for a new anchor and rope because I was the one that cut it free.

      So go ahead and speak of your intellect, it means nothing, and please keep trying to sell your 13th generation drivel, there are some of us that exceed that number exponentially.
