5. When Kanye West said George W. Bush doesn’t care about black people

Rapper Kanye West delivered one of the most memorable sound bites of 2005, just days after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and other parts of the Gulf Coast. During a celebrity-filled telethon to raise money for the victims, West deviated from the script, crying racism against relief efforts he felt were too slow.

“I hate the way they portray us in the media,” he said. “You see a black family, it says, ‘They’re looting.’ You see a white family, it says, ‘They’re looking for food.’”

West added, “They’ve given them permission to go down and shoot us.”

He was standing next to actor/comedian Mike Myers who stayed on script and had to roll with the awkwardness of West’s ad-lib. But when it came for the rapper to speak again, West dropped the bomb that got his mic cut:

“George Bush doesn’t care about black people.”

With that one sentence, Katrina became Bush’s fault. And that’s the aim of this truly deplorable tactic.
