Is Kanye alone?

More on the Kanye West George Bush incident. For starters, there is no fellow hip-hop star that does not downgrade Kanye's controversial comments from two weeks ago.

For example, this is what Jay-Z said during a recent interview with Billboard magazine: "I'm backing up Kanye 100%. This is America. You should be able to say what you want to say. We have freedom of speech."

Sharing some of West's views about the US' slow response to the Katrina disaster he said: "It's really numbing. You can't believe it's happening in America. You wonder, what's going on? Why were people so slow to react? I don't understand it."

Jay-Z also revealed that, despite having not "spoken to anyone about doing a concert event" to benefit Hurricane Katrina victims, he wants to speak with [a][/a] about setting up a fund in order to exclusively aid African-Americans in times of crisis.

He explained: "Just in case anything like this happens in the future, we can do what the elder Bush and (Bill) Clinton are doing for our people specifically."

Then Green Day's frontman, Billie Joe Armstrong, introduced their song "Holiday" as "Fuck President George Bush" during a recent gig in the Quad Cities area (IA, IL). The crowd applauded.

Sometime in between the two, President Bush did admit that the reponses from relieving teams was unacceptable.

So, was Kanye right?

Well, I'm pretty sure that Bush still loves black people.
