What Is Going On Is Making Me Wanna Holler Part Two

So last night, there was a benefit concert for the victims of Hurricane Katrina and Kanye West decided to speak his opinion about the goings on of how the situation was being handled. Apparently, the networks were not able to catch his sudden outbursts about the government, specifically the President’s lackadaisical attitude towards the situation and how he suddenly after the mayor of Louisiana’s comments claimed that there wasn’t enough being done. Why did it take negative commentary for the government to do what they were supposed to do? I am sure if a Congressman’s daughter was swimming and marinating in their own ca-ca and smelling like back alley piss, someone would have moved a little quicker. As for Kanye, I hope the poor boy hasn’t hurt his career with his inflammatory comments about Bush’s handling of the situation. It would suck if he did – because then he’d had to figure a way out of the upheaval, with the help of H to the Izzo V to the Izza. I wonder how long it is going to take for them to rebuild New Orleans considering 80% of it is drowning in melted ice (water for all of you people who didn’t take science or for those of you who have selective memory on solids and liquids). I wonder how NBC will handle the comments by Kanye West. Kanye might have to call his next album – The Industry Dropout because of his illustrious wordage. NBC is hoping that Kanye’s comments will not affect how the American public feels about donating and helping or how Bush is viewed. I doubt if it will because any rational person has already formed in their mind how they feel about the situation and whether it was handled the way it should have been handled. Matt Lauer, from NBC’s Today, quietly calmed the comments by stating "emotions in this country right now are running very high. Sometimes that emotion is translated into inspiration, sometimes into criticism. We've heard some of that tonight. But it's still part of the American way of life," (Yahoo TV News – 9/03/05). Apparently, after Kanye made the comments, they cut to Chris Tucker. I guess NBC felt they had to cut to the good nigger. No offense to Tucker in anyway. There will be more downsizing @ NBC over the next few days because someone wasn’t minding the scripts and paying attention to the benefit concert. Why did they get Lauer to comment on Kanye’s comments? I am not downing Lauer, although, it may seem like I am, but unless you are an African American who has not dipped itself into some Jerseymaid Milk and become an Oreo, you cannot comment on how one should feel or what one’s emotions are translated. This is a messssssssssssssssssss!!!!! and it’s just gettin’ started.
