I would like to say yeah, he [Kanye West*] was right but he wasn't ... I'm sure George Bush has a lot of black friends. He loves black people with a fuck of a lot of money. He doesn't care about people that don't have money. It just so happens that those people are black.
William James Adams [will.i.am], quoted in D. Lynskey,
33 Revolutions per minute: a history of protest songs (2010), 676
* This was Kanye West saying on live television, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, 'George Bush doesn't care about black people'
