In just over two months, we will commemorate the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, a natural disaster that ravaged communities along the Gulf Coast. This tragedy was made infinitely worse not only by decades of governmental neglect and far-ranging poverty, but also by the fact that so many Black people could not swim. That is sooo wrong!!! Hurricane Katrina TARGETED blacks, minorities and women! It knew what it was doing and gleefully attacked them. The resultant crime rise in Houston after said targeted people migrated was a lie perpetrated bby da Man!
"so many black people could not swim". I never thought about that with regards to Hurricane Katrina. Interesting, but WHY is that? Because blacks live inland and away from the beach? Because only rich white people have pools? Because they can't afford swim school? I WENT TO SWIM SCHOOL for three years and it's usually offered by a city for very little money.
I went from polliwog to flying fish and have NEVER been afraid of the water, not even rough deep ocean! I've been in two boats that tipped over (one a sabot, the other a Catamaran), and one that capsized slowly (the drain plug was left OUT.. LOL).. We made it to shore thank God.
