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.
What a KOOK.
I don't care that that Calypso Louie and the other Clymers say it. I care that people believe it. That's the scary part.
I suppose we can presume that Farakhan has already deployed thousands of Nation of Islam members throughout the city as volunteers and donated a million or so out of his personal account, right?
Truth doesn't have his boots on yet.
Race hustlers like this do more to keep the black man down than a thousand white guys in suits.
This developing situation as well as the Roberts confirmation debacle may be just what we need in this country. The thinking folks, black, white or otherwise, will see the farrakhan, sharpton, biden, pelosi, etc. types for what they really are.
It's about time we separate the wheat from the chaff and get all the cards laid out on the table.
IMHO
Used to wonder why God made jellyfish - they were really ugly; they did damage to others when floating around where you were trying to enjoy a swim. . .all in all; they seemed just plain horrible, useless creatures that could ruin your day. . .I thought the ocean would be perfect without them.
yeah, just like jessie and al gave 0000000 and alot of race baiting.....
Shouldn't Farrakhan be arrested as an "enemy of the State" since he likes to rub shoulders with anti-American dictators.....??
Calypso Louie reaffirms his moonbat status
This opportunistic bastitch is on a recruitment drive.
Farrakhan and Farah: two birds of a feather.
can you say I-D-I-O-T
People like him are hurting your cause and cloud legitimate grievances you may have.

It would help if some thinking blacks came forward and made the call.
"It would help if some thinking blacks came forward and made the call."
Some are but the LSM won't give em a forum so they'll need to find other avenues to get the point across.
I think Mary Landreau did it, or had it done, to flood out ghettos that receive welfare checks, to save money for La.
I heard that on Rush. Some caller said that.
