omowalejabali said:The aftermath of Hurrican Katrina has been a troubled time for many of the displaced residents in the Gulf States, particularly in New Orleans. The apparent lack of Leadership at all levels of government in responding to the needs of evacuees is only one of the factors involved. The Rebuilding effort will be a long one and it seems as if white contractors and financialists will be leading these efforts leaving Black people out of the process. What do you think about the initiative taken by national Black Leadership inRebuilding the Deep South, particularly New Orleans? Is their response adequate? Who exactly is our Leadership and who do they really speak for and represent?
omowalejabali said:brother Isaiah...You are absolutely right....speak of the Lame Duck...man I been trying not to blash Nagin but you made a good point...now he has no mandate cuz his main constituency is gone..along with my "Creole" cuz from the 7th Ward....End End ain't nothing but the Quarter with it's $4 million 200 year homes. Like that Mobile beachfront property who is gonna pay that much to live in a swamp...You know that's what they talking about...Just let the 9th Ward turn itself into a marshland.
That photo gallery you shared the other day had another gallery and I was wondering if you checked it out. It was from the Washington post article...The Brother (Larche) is from one of my "tribal clans".
His home was covered with mold...This is something the news didn't talk about before. A lot of white folks whose homes survived in other districts still had heavy damage and properties are ruined due to mold infestation..
brother...those pics look like a neutron bomb hit...I NOW CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER (yeah...conspiracy theorist) if all this was somehow "scientifically manipulated".
There seems to be a pattern developing with folks reading from the same script but totally out of sync.
Note: all that talking that Chief Compass was doing calling his "deserters "cowards" I was surpried this weekend when I found out he had abandoned his post and bailed out...

I find it hard to believe that the levee just broke in the poor section of town, but did not break in the rich section. i also do not find it suprising there has bee no public or media question abot WHY the levee broke.
there are some blacks doing things, the millins more movement, Tom Joyner all have victims funds. here in va beach the black owned radio station along with several businesses loadedd two semis with goods and sent them down there (n.o.) but we need a national orginization to look out for our interests.
I was disgusted to hear that p diddy and jayz gave $1 million to the red cross..How Stupid if they did not monitor the spending. I mean two white boys eli and peyton manning loaded two airplanes of goods and handed them out there selves. There is one congress woman doing her thing, her name slips my mind but she wears two big braids and is from texas. i was like yeah when she asked one of the fima devils why he shoiuldnt be brought up on crimial charges for neglegance. she also spoke at the mmm rally in d.c.
Whats up with this nagan dude i mean during the flood he acted like he had nuggets cussing the president out on t.v. but now he seems like a soft politician.
