George W. Bush hits back at Kanye West's race slur | Mail Online

Mr Bush said that being called a 'racist' by the rapper was one of the worst moments of his eight years in the White House.

I dunno. I think if he looks back over his notes, he can find a lot worse moments than that. In fact, that was one of his good days. It actually got people who were not fans to defend him.

Besides, Kanye never said Bush was a racist in the first place. He just said Bush didn't care about black people. That would only make Bush racist if he DID care about non-black people.
I feel confident that Bush would have been just as bumbling and unresponsive to a similar disaster happening to poor white people in Utah or poor Hispanics in South Texas. Color didn't matter to him. It's good to remember that incompetence and insensitivity are not the same as racism.
