Dear America, and hello to the international public :)
I am speaking to you today not as a Black Man, not as a Californian close to the city of Berkeley, and not even as a American. I am speaking to you today just as a human being and I hope that you will assume the same shape and form while reading my brief essay.
First let me begin by addressing the situation directly with the Hurricane that has struck the gulf coast of LA, Miss, and AL. To even begin to assume that this was handled even remotely professional or on time is a far exageration of the truth to say the least. To explain the situation in New Orleans, you will first need to explain the poverty that has long exsisted there for hundreds of years since slavery. Slavery?! Don't get scared of that word it's just some Ancient American reality. But is it really ancient??????
The response to the Hurricane was a laugher. For one, no food got to any victim until the fifth day. Five days!! Long time with no food right?? Have you ever went 2 days without food?? Ever went one day?? Also, when the disaster was spoken about, the citizens were referred to as refugees and immigrants, even President Bush was puzzled by this. These were long time citizens that were born and raised in those states, not people that snuck over here on a boat.
So the blame game begins now. Hmmm?? If I was Bush who should I blame?? Hmmm?? Maybe I shouldn't have cut that fund for repairing the Leevy 60-70% Huh?? Maybe if I focused more on my own country and it's poverty then things wouldn't be so bad huh?? Maybe we would have been more prepared for this disaster by actually planning for things like this, instead of sunbathing at the Crawford Ranch Hmm??
Iraq's really going well huh Hmmm?? Don't worry that the same terrorists on each street in Iraq are still blowing themselves up like before, but that's positive right Hmmmm?? I'm George W., what the hell should I do now. Gas is higher than the moon and I control all the oil in Iraq to HMMMM??? Lots of decisions to make, so many questions?? I know, lets have a investigation on what I did in Iraq and Katrina, and I'll head the investigation, I'll be in complete control and...
