Farrakhan visits Charlotte's Katrina shelter, criticizes federal response (tin foil hat alert)

Minister Louis Farrakhan was very critical of the Red Cross and FEMA response to hurricane Katrina.

Minister Louis Farrakhan was in Charlotte Monday to rally support for his Millions More March. However, he did have some choice words about the response to Hurricane Katrina victims some of whom are staying at the Charlotte Coliseum.

Farrakhan's been traveling across the country to visit shelters like the one that is set up at the coliseum. He said he's not happy with the job the American Red Cross is doing.

He had harsh words for FEMA too. But that was just the warm up. Farrakhan also shared his thoughts on how the levee breached in the first place.

"I heard from a very reliable source who saw a 25 foot deep crater under the levee breach. It may have been blown up to destroy the black part of town and keep the white part dry," Farrakhan said.

Gilton Balanos lived in the very neighborhood Farrakhan was talking about.

"I think that's ludicrous," Balanos said. "When this happened we were caught by surprise. Individuals, the government and everybody were caught by surprise."

Farrakhan also said that the Red Cross’ response to the disaster was inadequate. Red Cross Spokesperson Pam Dagle said "there was no basis for the criticism."

As for the issue of how the Red Cross spends money and on whom, Daigle said "the Red Cross’ books are open for anyone who wants to see the audits, who wants to see how we spend money."

"I'm sure some good is being done, but not enough to answer the cry." Farrakhan said.

Some evacuees who spoke to 6NEWS said they support Farrakhan and his look into what happened in New Orleans and other affected areas.

President Bush said Monday that Hurricane Katrina did not discriminate and neither will recovery efforts.

Yeah, Calypso Louie, the physics of hydrostatic pressure is well known to prejudicially seek out melanin skin pigments.

Yep, more republican ankle grabbing. I am, more and more, amazed that republicans have somehow gotten (in theory) control of the government.

And that makes me a lot more angry than the moronic babbling of kooks like Louie.

Oops, poor sentence structure. It's the ankle grapping that ticks me off, not having pubbie majority.

This man would not be happy if every white person in America commited Hari Kari.

I predict this man will die of Cancer.

This amount of negativity can not be good for ones Karma or health...

He can not say ONE POSITIVE THING about ANYTHING...

What a pathetic legacy...

Sounds like Louie needs a new one of these; his doesn't appear to be working properly.

Just the other day, I mentioned to my husband that we have heard nothing more of his cancer. Anybody know of anything? Never thought I would wish death for another human being, but I dont think of him as human. I cant think of any person this side of Osama more dangerous or evil spirited than this man. He is a big part of the enemy within our nation.

Hmmm. And I have it from a very reliable source that you, Mr Farrakhan, were seen near that very levee at the precise time you claim there was a "25 foot deep crater".

Do you deny that there was a crater, Mr Farrakhan?

I wish there were some legal way to keep this a$$hat away from the evacuees. They don't need someone feeding their 'the man is keeping me down' attitude. They need a new attitude, and that's something Calypso Louis doesn't have.
