Does George W. Bush care about black people?
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.
Watch the short clip below.
Notice how she still didn’t answer the question of why the lower income families are still living in those trailers even to this day.
She sounds more angry about the comments that people make toward Bush than she is about the fiasco of the failed rescue efforts.

Ditto on your comments about Miss Rice. She nor Bush has a clue on living and suffering in the real world. If those people had been white and poor he would not have reacted any faster. The typical Republican in power has not a feeling of regret about anything that happens to the little people. Only when money comes into play do they acknowledge the working people. The politicans in American can not see below the ivory tower they live in.
