Did nothing to help race relations???? His comments were a direct result of the bad race relations that already exist. It was not kumbaya before, why should Black folx be trying to make it a kumbaya moment now?
We are sick and tired of being sick and tired of the daily racism in our lives--subtle and not so subtle. This non-subtle situation exposed it for all to see. And I hope it starts a new revoloution that WILL be televised
The folx on here who know me, know that I am not the one to point to racism everytime something happenes. In fact at first I was one of the ones helping to explain that the Yahoo pics were not a form of racism. But after everything else I have seen and some of the comments over on Chit Chat, I am through playing ambassador.
Unless you have walked in the shoes of anyone of color who has experienced a lifetime of racism then, STFU! Yes I am p*ssed!!!!!!!!
Oh and one more thing. It was a damn if he does, damn if he doesn't for Nagin. He chose to stay in N.O. in a hotel without electricity rather than go to Baton Rouge with the rest of the city officials. But he has been criticized for not going and running the city government. On the other hand, folx who did not know he had stayed in N.O. criticized him for running off to the comforts of Baton Rouge.
