The 'George Bush Doesn't Care About Black People' meme stems from a live 2005 televised benefit for Hurricane Katrina relief. During the broadcast, rapper Kanye West famously veered off-script, delivering the titular line while a visibly stunned Mike Myers stood beside him. The moment became an instant cultural flashpoint, symbolizing the tension surrounding the government’s response to the disaster. In meme culture, it is often used to highlight sudden, blunt honesty, awkward social situations, or to satirize historical and political disconnects through the contrasting expressions of West and Myers.
