Here's the problem. Rich blacks mouthing off and expecting some other "they" to look after his kin. I see whites waiting on blacks hand and foot while charlatans howl at the moon. Don'tcha think we could find a socialist like Bernie Sanders to introduce a bill for expropriating Kanye's fortune for Katrina victims?

No kidding. What has Kanye done aside from insulting our President? I'd bet money that if he had done anything to help the relief effort, we'd have heard about it by now. In fact, we'd be ensconced by his praises.

This is actually one of the biggest problems in the black community. As soon as anyone achieves any wealth or status, they abandon the neighborhood. Now, I'm not saying they all do it, but one of the reasons the Italians, Jews, Poles, etc. did so well as immigrants was because they worked and invested in their own communities...even after they achieved success.
