Kanye West regrets saying that George W. Bush doesn’t care about black people–a post-Katrina claim that marked the low point of Bush’s presidency.
“I would tell George Bush in my moment of frustration, I didn’t have the grounds to call him a racist,” he told Matt Lauer on Tuesday, for a pre-taped segment of ‘Today.’ “I believe that in a situation of high emotion like that we as human beings don’t always choose the right words.”
Bush reacted to Kanye’s apology in a live interview Wednesday on ‘Today,’ saying he “appreciated” the rapper’s words.
