Yep, Kanye went there.
Now, go here and listen to the interview.
Yep, Clarence Ray Nagin went there.
Look, I don’t care how annoying you might think Kanye is (he gets on my nerves) or if you hate his music as much as Bol. Really, I don’t care if you agree with what he says here. What I’m touched by is his sincerity, the nerve it took to do this, and the way you can tell he was simultaneously overwhelmed by what he’d seen and what he was about to do.
And Bush apologists need remember this–in Jeb’s first run for the governorship of Florida, he was asked what he would do for black Floridians as governor. His answer was, “probably nothing.” Can’t hold Jeb’s views against the Dub, but it’s hard to think their views deviate that far from each other’s.
Wow, Kanye. Wow.
And the Mayor…compared to this, Giuliani had a walk in the park.
