NBC Censors Anti-Bush Remarks

Kanye West and Mike Meyers hosted the Concert for Hurricane Relief live on NBC last night. Kanye West took a moment to speak truth to power. NBC responded by editing out his remarks for the West Coast audience.

West Coasters can see what they missed at Crooks and Liars.

Or read it here:

"I hate the way they portray us in the media. "If you see a black family it says they are looting if you see a white family it says they are looking for food.

We already realize a lot of the people that could help are at war now fighting another way and they’ve given them permission to go down and shoot us.

George Bush doesn't care about black people."

Apparently, host Mike Meyers was stunned.

Hat tip to Crooks and Liars.
