    George Bush doesn't care about black people.

    Why are we sending them any $? Last time I checked we were in a shitload of debt. Got a ton of homeless and unemployed people over in our country yet we are sending cash to Japan. I'm not trying to be a total dick, but clean up your own backyard before stepping into someone else's.

    If the prices of Japanese electronics go up now I hope Godzilla rises from the Power Plant and does his thing over there.

    The Japanese people are much more efficient at just about everything, including receiving aid, than Haitians are. This will be proven when, several years from now, Japan is completely rebuilt while Haiti still lies in ruins.

    This is stupid...

    Why did people in Louisiana shoot at the helicopters that were trying to help them??? Why did they rob and loot??

    There was help there immediately, just because you believe what you see on CNN or maybe they didn't come straight to you right away doesn't mean help wasn't being provided. I can tell you that I was personally involved in sending help in both events the same day it happened.

    Probably because we owe them a lot of money and they really don't care what happens to US citizens really.

    Japan does not need and has not asked for $ from any other government.
    It has asked for Search and Rescue teams and some equipment.

    Charities will try to raise money, of course but that is a different thing entirely.

    That's pretty stupid... the President of the United States cannot authorize armed troops to go into any part of the US. It is on local government to ask for federal help, and the governor of Louisiana refused to do that. Bush wasn't going to send unarmed troops into an area where there were widespread reports of "mob rule" violence, where everyone was just attacking everyone else. These reports turned out to be grossly exagerrated, but its all anyone had to go on at the time.

    In short- don't blame Bush for the governor of Louisiana's failure

    The people expecting government help after Katrina were put in that position because they relied on government help in the first place.

    Funny, Kanye nowhere to be found when quakes hit Chile, New Zealand, Japan, or the one in Pakistan 5 years back that killed 75,000, but he's literally crying on TV over New Orleans (explicitly said for blacks only), and campaigned for Haiti aid also.

    "Kanye West only cares about black people"

    Quite possibly the two most ignorant responses I have ever read in my life...

    Having no food is an excuse to shoot at your helping hand?

    What were they defending themselves against??? EACH OTHER...not the help that was being provided.

    And NO, no sane man would shoot at their help

    Also correct. The governor controls the National Guard assets when they are not mobilized...So why is the blame on Bush and not on the Governor of Louisiana? Why are some making this a racial thing when the governor of Louisiana (who had control of the aid) was black?
