Kanye West responds to George W. Bush about Katrina controversy: 'I definitely can understand the way he feels' | EW.comKanye West has responded to former president George W. Bushs recent statement regarding his controversial post-Hurricane Katrina remarks. Wests surprising reply: Now that five years have gone by, he can sympathize more with the man he once said doesnt care about black people.
Bush recently told Matt Lauer that hearing West say those words during a Hurricane Katrina benefit telethon was a disgusting moment. He recalled telling his wife at the time that Wests comments were in fact the single worst moment of his presidency. Today, an interviewer from a Houston radio station asked West for his thoughts on the matter.
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, where I got accused of being a racist, West replied, referring to the aftermath of his run-in with Taylor Swift last fall. For both situations, it was basically a lack of compassion that America felt in that situation. With him, 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 were all quick to pull a race card in America. And now Im 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.
How precious. I still think Kanye is an asshole.
