The Truth of the Matter

Kanye West caused a scandal a couple days ago by saying that George Bush doesn't care about Black people. Personally, I was shocked. How could a statement like that be scandalous? Is there a question about whether or not Bush cares about Black people? Obviously he doesn't. I don't think he even cares about seeming as though he cares about Black people. I assumed that West was reading from a White House press release.
