I was watching the news on how a destructive hurricane was headed towards New Orleans and thinking how are the people with who are barely getting by going to get out to safety? And are there enough buses to carry everyone out? When the storm hit and cleared I thought there would be some type immediate help just like the tsunami disaster, but when I saw the total disrespect towards people of color, it kind of reminded me that as far as we have made progress we have digressed just as much. Then it took for Kanye West to say something until people started to say that Bush doesn\'t care about black people. So I started to look at the situation and see that in the \"New South\", there are still signs of plantation, confederate flags flying high in South Carolina and Georgia, black people are still more likely to get caught up in the prison system than any other race. And I looked at the Tuskegee Experiments, the only thing we got was an apology, when the Japanese received money we they were \"detained for a brief time\". Then I thought maybe this rebuilding process is where Bush would empathize and start rebuilding the city of New Orleans, but what happened? The city of who used to people mostly black is now just like every other city in America it is now mostly white. I think that this was a sign from God for people to show are they really \"Good Christians\" and God\'s followers, but it is clear most of us are not. Especially after watching BET and seeing that in less than six months victims of this hurricane, their FEMA funding will run out. Most of them living with no jobs, how are they going to support themselves? Then the city turns right back around and builds condos not for the people who need it most, but for the people who have the most. This really showed me how worthless our lives our to America.
