And if there was an elected politician whose own incompetence led to the deaths of hundreds of black residents in New Orleans – unnecessarily – it was Mayor Ray Nagin.
The question now is, will anyone go back and attempt to correct the onslaught of dishonest statements of slander committed against the president?
Will any major news network report the findings of these statistics and draw the appropriate editorial conclusions?
Will Kanye West stop rapping about "selling crack," using the N-word, using the F-word, and "getting' it" "wid his hoes" to go back on national television and apologize for being as presumptive, racist and ignorant as he is profane?
Probably not, nor will the media who gave him the opportunity to slander the president without regard to accuracy or facts.
But such is the track record for those claiming the leadership mantle of America's black communities. They are willing to watch their own communities be cannibalized by the abortion industry that their own leftist leaders empower. They hold grudges, filled with overwhelming repugnance, against any from their community that have the gall to think for themselves and choose a different political or ideological path.
Thankfully, their time in the leadership spotlight will soon be spent, and their intolerance and contempt against those who succeed with integrity and merit will be shown for the empty shame that it is.
Still, the injustice of allowing Kanye's words to simply linger in the American public's psyche seems brutally unfair.
Then again, what does Kanye West care about being fair to people?
