While we’re pondering what Kanye West will deliver for his upcoming Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade appearance, it seems George W. Bush has heated up some leftover controversy between the two.

Discussing his memoir ‘Decision Points’ with the ‘Today’ show’s Matt Lauer, Bush recalls when West delivered his infamous 2005 sound bite, ‘George Bush doesn’t care about black people.’

‘That [means], ‘He’s a racist,’ ‘ Bush told Lauer, ‘and I didn’t appreciate it then. I don’t appreciate it now. It’s one thing to say, ‘I don’t appreciate the way he’s handled his business.’ It’s another thing to say, ‘This man’s a racist.’ I resent it, it’s not true.’
