Racism doesn't stop Color of Change from selling T-shirts emblazoned with the words "Kanye was Right" [http://www.zazzle.com/kanye_was_right_tshirt-235287472366274585], referring to the hostile remarks made by rapper Kanye West during a fundraising for victims of [[Hurricane Katrina]] in September, 2005, in which he declared that the federal response to the disaster was deliberately slow because the victims were black. "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!" He added a moment later "George Bush doesn’t care about black people."
