More perspective and some context to go along with it..

Here is the full text of what West said that fateful night, take it in context and see that the bit that everyone is talking about isn’t the important bit. The important bit is the context itself. No one can deny the line of thought, although a more accurate statement could be made by saying “The corporate run least common denominator bullshit media LOVES Black People, they love to judge us, they love to niggerize us, they love to portray us as savages and brutes, they fucking LOVE us!”

West’s actual words and the link to the Washington Post article it is culled from:
West: I hate the way they portray us in the media. You see a black family, it says, "They're looting." You see a white family, it says, "They're looking for food." And, you know, it's been five days [waiting for federal help] because most of the people are black. And even for me to complain about it, I would be a hypocrite because I've tried to turn away from the TV because it's too hard to watch. I've even been shopping before even giving a donation, so now I'm calling my business manager right now to see what is the biggest amount I can give, and just to imagine if I was down there, and those are my people down there. So anybody out there that wants to do anything that we can help -- with the way America is set up to help the poor, the black people, the less well-off, as slow as possible. I mean, the Red Cross is doing everything they can. We already realize a lot of people that could help are at war right now, fighting another way -- and they've given them permission to go down and shoot us!
