Hysterical Blackness has been collecting a lot of incisive and telling reports about the continuing federal neglect in regards to the human suffering resulting from Hurricane Katrina and what it says about our current administration's priorities.
Here is one that stood out from James Clingman in The Black Commentator:
"Why have we spent as much as $1 billion per week to build a "New Iraq," yet our compassionate government, headed by George Bush and his boys and girls, cannot find a billion a week to spend on New Orleans and those wiped out by Hurricane Katrina?
What kind of a country is this anyway? What kind of people are running this show? Immediate expenditures totaling billions of taxpayer dollars to rebuild a country we intentionally destroyed, but four months after the worst catastrophe in this country our government has hardly moved to take care of its own."
(from A New Iraq or a New Orleans?)
