"Jesse Jackson questioned why Bush has not named blacks to top positions in the federal response to the disaster, particularly when the majority of victims remaining stranded in New Orleans are black: "How can blacks be locked out of the leadership, and trapped in the suffering?"
"It is that lack of sensitivity and compassion that represents a kind of incompetence."
Yoohoo Rev. Jackson, U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Russell Honore who is in charge in New Orleans is BLACK!
Does anyone have an email link for JJ?
And when he found out they wanted to find suitable housing in Texas and get these people settled into a normal life, Rev. Jessie says -- I think they need to all be put in an abandoned military base somewhere in LA and kept close to home (does that translate to keeping them in a party state?)
LTG Honore isn't black. He was my brigade commander when I was in the 3rd Infantry Division. He's a Ragin' Cajun, but certainly not black.
