"we believe that Katrina was in league with Al-Queda"
"the federal government will release funds to initiate a new anti-hurricane faith based prayer campaign"
"floods are unamerican, if you support water or large bodies of it you are a traitor"
okay those aren't actual quotes but they might as well be.
I've been looking into some folks that I know of from New Orleans because I am a media tool and only look folks up when bad things happen around them. I found out that Ahmad Nelson (who gets a shout out in the Black Box song Pigs and Murder) succesfully beat charges of cop killing, no indication of where he is now. If anyone knows please share it here. Unfortunately Robert "King" Wilkerson and several other key people from the Angola 3 campaign are still missing.
For those that haven't seen this yet it's white supremacy new and improved live from the news wire.
What is happening on the Gulf Coast is an accurate reflection of the priorities of capitalism, mitigated by the brutal ugliness of white power. Black peoople loot, white people find, "zero tolerance for looters," "shoot to kill." New Orleans has a 38% poverty rate (the federal measure of poverty is totally inaccurate, skewed towards minimizing the problem), one of the lowest personal vehicle ownership rates in the nation, and no subsidized evacutation transportation. Food, clothes and shelter are human rights, whether or not they are enumerated in the constitution. It is a basic assumption of free people that they have a right to eat and be warm. If there is an empty building full of food and water and clothes; and I'm wet and hungry and thirsty, I'm gonna take what I need. Throw some capitalism on the top of that and I'll be selling what I don't need because that is the name of the game. That is how capitalism works, scarcity = profit.
