And even for me to complain about it, I would be a hypocrite because I&#8217;ve tried to turn away from the TV because it&#8217;s too hard to watch. I&#8217;ve even been shopping before even giving a donation, so now I&#8217;m calling my business manager right now to see what is the biggest amount I can give, and just to imagine if I was down there, and those are my people down there. So anybody out there that wants to do anything that we can help &#8212; with 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 a lot of people that could help are at war right now, fighting another way &#8212; and they&#8217;ve given them permission to go down and shoot us!&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kanye West&#8217;s Torrent of Criticism, Live on NBC: &#8220;West: I hate the way they portray us in the media.
