An unpopular opinion

As we approach the two year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, I extend my condolences to those of you who lost loved ones, be it friends, neighbors or relatives in the disaster, if I had not done so initially.

Having said that, I understand that many of you are upset that FEMA dropped the ball in extending expedient help and aid to those needing it in the floods and evacuation. While I fully agree that what they did (or rather, didn't do) was intentional, I disagree that it was racially motivated.

Believe it or not, IMHO there was a much bigger reason behind that, and it wasn't because "George Bush doesn't like black people".

To my fellow Black Americans, all I can say is, "Don't take it personally" (read: as a racially motivated slight).

Carry on...
