Live, From NBC!

Kanye West on an NBC charity telecast tonight:

I hate the way they portray us in the media, you see a black family that says they're looting, you see a white family that says they're looking for food. And you know it's been five days because most of the people are black. And even for me to complain I would be a hippocrite because I've turned away from the TV because it's too hard to watch. I've even been shopping before even giving a donation. So now I'm calling my business manager to see what's the biggest amount I can give... and just to imagine if I was down there... and those are my people down there.

Anybody out there that wants to do anything to help... with the setup the way America is set up to help the poor, the black people, the less well off, as slow as possible... I mean the Red Cross is doing everything they can. We already realize that the people that could help are at war right now... fighting another way and now they've given them permission to go down there and shoot us...

George Bush doesn't care about black people.

At which point, as you might imagine, NBC switched to a different camera.

Oh, and Shepard Smith tore chunks off O'Reilly, and Sean Hannity tonight. Newsanchor fight!
