As I have watched, and looked at all the various news profiles of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, specifically the plight of 750,000 Afrimerican people, or more, of the city of New Orleans that were left in a destitute, and desperate state of want and need, and of how little the government did to respond to such in an expedient manner, and how, even in such limited responses as are in action presently, I am appalled at the minimalistic approach taken, which in looking at the big picture, now seems more of a saving face spin control, and photo op to appear concerned, rather than a real full scale address of/to the problem before, and presently at hand.
The truth is, even now as this is written, Afrimericans, in and from New Orleans, Mississippi, and other Gulf Coast, and Southern cities hit hardest by the Hurricane are destitute, families are split apart not knowing where each other are, personal property per ones personal, and generational history is lost, ones customs and traditions are disrupted and in a state of radical change, and while all the world news medias see and discuss and broadcast the blatant governmental and corporate racism and bigotry of all facets of same, the American media white washes, and downplays the racial side, and promotes the politically correct ,and polite line like all is well, and all is being done that can be done and thats a lie.
Before writing this, I had to wait a few days to calm down , because any blind person can see the outright disregard American leaders in all strata of the business that is, and in America have per concern for Afrimericans, and it wasn't until foreign news services started pointed it out that those entities took action, and the actions taken are the bare minimum, and mark my words, that is intentful and designed to create an opening by way of natural disaster for the American government to further disenfranchise Afrimerican people.
I was curious of how the response to this compared to the response to the world trade center bombing, and what I read over and over was how people were running to the scene of the world trade center crisis to be of help to those in need, even while the buildings were still falling, and the degree of uncertainty(?) was still high, people, everyone, public, private, corporate, and government, ran to the aid of those people immediately, and didn't stop digging, searching, and helping for weeks, months, but in the case and cause of Hurricane Katrina, per the majority affected being Afrimerican, the response was null until they could not be ignored, and even now the relief response is miniscule and symbolic, anemic and purposeful in acting out the dynamics of institutional racism long been engaged to create and feed the barrier of/from equal access and equal treatment, or equal consideration as given all other race/ethnic groups of America.
And it is further disheartening and disrurbing to hear these same 750,000 Americans, Afrimerican, live on $8,000.00 a year or less, and this is not an isolated area where this occurs. A good 70% of all Afrimericans live on that, and sadly even in America The average Afrimerican lives one, or two levels below the poverty line, and barely above third world conditions, and to be fair 50% of that figure are in jail or on parole and subject to being jailed at any given time, and they live on less because of the laws that were enacted within the last seven years that if you have a felony , or any arrest, and you don't have a five year legitimate work and educational history you can't/won't be hired....,It's all indicative of the racism noted earlier and the well planned and engaed operation by the powers that be to make Afrimericans a permanent underclass in a country Afrimericans fought and died for from it's inception, and help build.
Hurricane Katrina puts the spotlight on Americas Racism, everyone can see it, for example, an aircraft carrier can house and care for thousand and is fully equipped with everything, yet none were dispatched, all the major corporations have helicopters but not one have sent their helicopter to help the people, the "BLACK" people devastated by this catastrophe, Halliburton is already designed to feed tens of thousands at a time, no word from Halliburton, you have all types of boatmakers, and boaters with large boats that didn't and won't show up, why?
Afrimerican people by and large don't have those resources at hand or on command, and it's not just because of the Hurricane, it's because America has engaged in a very deft and intentful action of restrictive practices under the guise of laws, and false projections carried out and refined over decades, and outside of the very real day to day tragedy the Afrimerican victims of Hurricane Katrina suffered, and still suffer, the relative, long term tragedy is yet to be seen because the United States will use this to further disenfranchise Afrimericans, and hide behind phoney looks of concern, politically correct spin control, and in the end blame Afrimericans for the plight they're in which is the key element of white supremist racist strategy, blame the victim...
Right now it's to early, and they are in a save face denial, fed by we weren't prepared, we don't have the resources, we don't have this or that, but as soon as that phase is done and they've get their buddies set up to administer a systematic and specific aid to the people who suffered the most from this crisis, they'll make up rules and requirements that will restrict access to such aid, and they'll blame the victim.
I'm so pissed of I can't write without being repititious so I'll Stop now. but remember you read it here first, so when it happens, don't be surprised
