Does former President Bush care about black people? His former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said that he does.
After seeing the thousands of mostly black New Orleans residents stranded for days following Hurricane Katrina and the government doing nothing to help, hip hop star Kanye West famously said “GEORGE BUSH DOESN’T CAREY ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE” during a live televised fundraising event.
West’s comments were repeatedly aired on nearly every newscast in the country, which helped open up a dialogue about race.
During a recent appearance on ABC’s “The View,” Condoleezza Rice told the ladies it makes her angry when people make those comments about the president.
