Is Kanye West A Racist!

Some people might consider the rapper Kayne West is a racist. They probably believe this because of the statement he said during the Katrina tragedy. This is only a paraphrase, they claimed that he made the a statement" Bush does not like black people and whites will pay for what they did of did not do about the Katrina victims." Since he only put the word whites and did not point out which ones, some people thought that he was talking about all whites. It seems sort of strange some people believe that he is a racist. First you have to know the definition of racism. Racism is owning a business, holding a high position in office or governmental status and making laws, using money and other ways to stop one or more ethnic groups from prospering and making a living. It also stops civil rights and liberties for certain ethnic groups. This is highly unlikely with Kanye West since he does not own any companies or hold office in this country. When Terry Bradshaw said that the only reason why New Orleans did not receive any help right away was that most of that city was African American, did that make Terry a racist also. In other statements about race, when the Indian's wrote in history pamphlets about how the white man took their land and committed genocide against them, does that make the Indian's racist, since they did not point out the white people who committed these crimes against them? I really do not think so! In the case of the Katrina victims, as an educated person no one could not say the events that occurred in this tragedy did not have anything to do with racism. A person would have to look at how race related on how this problem was handled. Maybe Kanye West should have worded it a little different but the actions of some people that had the power to send help sooner showed the real racists.
