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.
okay, okay i admit it calypso louie is right. i was called by w about two hours after he got off the phone with nagin and blanco, boy was he pissed. he said if those two g#$ damned @ssholes weren't gonna evacuate, then he was gonna use this opportunity to take care of "the darkies". So w tells me to gather up all the fertilizer i can get my hands on and blow a hole in the levee. so i jumped in my ryder truck drove through the hurricane (thats why it happened a day later) and i blew the snot outa the levee . w called me yesterday laughin an all happy . he said it was a "twofer" i said i didn't understand, he said "hell you got the darkies and the brownie with that." /sarc
Oh really. Then how does Calypso Louie explain the fact that the million dollar homes in Lakeview are under as much or more water than the homes in the 9th ward?
Thanks to the cooperation of sycophantic "journalists", he will never have to explain.
LOL!!!perfect.
That is great! Loved the squirrel greeting.ha.
"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.
Supposedly there was a large crater caused by WATER POURING THROUGH THE LEVEE BREAK. Course erosion and other parts of earth science don't fit. Disturbing thing is a shocking number of Americans are afflicted with minority psychosis and it can have serious results.
Don't worry he'll move on pretty quickly no market for louie pie's or the newspaper his cult members peddle on the street corners of our large city's
Exactly.... how many people who do not have 9-5 jobs and collect welfare have volunteered with Red Cross or Salvation Army to go and help? I swear I wish this had only affected a more affluent city so we didn't have to go through all this crud...at least people who have heeded the orders to evacuate as in Florida and those who stay know they do so at their own risks.
All the whacko's on the left are spinning this someone dynamited the levee story... one woman who's blog was linked here this morning said she was headed back to NOLA and has it on good authority that this was intentional -- of course, she said she couldn't reveal "how" she knew this, but she just knew it was true.
Minister Louis Farrakhan was very critical that suicide explosive belts were not provided for all those wished to receive them.
Perhaps Calypso Louie forgot to take his Prozac on the day that he made this remark . . .
