When some idiot shoots his mouth off about GW Bush not caring about Black people he ought to know the facts. For the last fifty years or so, Blacks have given their undying support to the Democrat Party. Last Sunday poor Black folk that politically supported both the Mayor of New Orleans and the Governor of Louisiana were abandoned by both these Democrat politicians. No food, no water, no medical care, no security, no shelter. Those are the facts.
In fifty years the Democrat Party has taken Black votes for granted, and given Black folk very little in return, except more poverty. I ask you objective folks to look at the faces of pain and anguish on those poor Black folk that the Democrat Party has held back, that are no different then you or me, or any other person for that matter. In that crowd of poor, displaced, lost folk, of which the majority are Black people could rise a President, Teacher, Doctor, Inventor, etc. if they were only given a chance to be reared and educated properly, and not made economic slaves of a political party that has forsaken them.
The Congressional Black Caucus and the NAACP are utterly useless. I just wonder when some reality Black leadership will come forward and grab the bull by the horns, and get Blacks fully assimilated in general American society. Anything less, no matter how much these Black idiots and useless politicians shout about racism, will keep Blacks chained to the bottom of the opportunity and economic ladder for decades to come, while Hispanics, and other minorities gain both powerful business and political power leaving the Black minority hanging in the wind.
The tragedy of the "poor" of New Orleans is as clear a picture of reality as one could ever hope for. I sincerely hope, with every fiber in my heart that Black folk take heed and see the world as it really is, and rapidly and immediately jettison the present "failed" Black leadership that has helped keep the chains of slavery alive and well in their own Black community. It is truly the Democrat Party that is the demon that mandates Blacks to a subordinate, dependent, low level existance, rather than preparing them to reap the benefits of a free society where every one has a fair and equal chance.
You nailed it!
