Missing in Action

MIA. That's me. No posts for nearly a week. It isn't that I do not have anything to say. Actually, it is quite the contrary. There is so much to say that I cannot imagine fitting it all into a single blog entry.

Once again, humanity has disappointed me. Maybe some among us did evolve from the primordial cesspool. Given some of the behavior on display in New Orleans last week, I cannot help but wonder if society just isn't meant for some people. Seeing so many make a bad situation worse was eerily similar to Lord of the Flies.

To exacerbate the issues, several "leaders of color" began hurling their now-too-common charges of racism at the National Guard, the Bush administration and everyone they felt purposely disenfranchised the Black community from the rescue efforts. One hip-hop star (oh how I hate typing that)) went as far to say that President Bush "doesn't care about Black people". Others said that "America doesn't understand Black people". You don't think this victim attitude permeates the inner fabric of society? Just today, Jaclyn had to endure listening to an older Black man gives his unsolicited opinion on the rescue efforts. Almost verbatim, he repeated the same untruthful and divisive rantings of the supposed "leaders" of the Black community.

What makes it worse is the free pass these people get from the major news outlets. They can say anything they want (no matter how outlandish) and Katie Couric just sits there and smiles, nodding her little pointy head.

In the meantime, donations are pouring in by the hundreds of millions of dollars given by Americans of all colors. That is how we do it in America. Now matter how hard these fools try to divide us and pit one class against the other, Americans always come through for one another when it counts.
