Rich Blacks, And Hurricane Katrina

Two years later I can still see the T.V. images of all those desperate people in New Orleans. Holding on waiting for some help. They needed help from anyone they could have gotten it from. The help didn't have to come from the Government. Any person with the resources could have helped provide for the poor people of New Orleans during and after Katrina. Any black person with the resources should have helped.

So where on earth were all the rich blacks? Why didn't they load their plans with food, water, and the other badly need provisions, send the cargo to New Orleans to drop, and maybe save some lives? For what flowers cost a week for some of these millionaires could have paid for a plane loaded water for the desperate, thirsty people at the Super dome and Convention Center. Why didn't the rich blacks charter boats, barges, canoes, or whatever necessary to help? They certainly could afford to. Just imagine what plans filled with provisions sent by most, if not all of the rich black could have accomplished.

Say in a fantasy world, the black millionaires would have turned on their televisions sets, and was so affected seeing the dire suffering of people from backgrounds such as theirs, that the rich blacks acted. Maybe not bought another $600 bottle of wine, another $1000 sheet set, $10,000 a night hotel room, another $35,000 worth of flowers, another $3,000,000 ring, or another million dollar gold plated bathroom in a multimillion dollar mansion. Instead of buying that stuff, bought warehouses full of soup, water, any non perishable foods, or just plain toilet paper. Arranged to have it distributed among the Katrina victims trapped in New Orleans. There would have been little need for the Government to respond. (Please don't get me wrong, the Government should and must respond any and all times its' citzens are in great need, especially when there are disasters on any size scale).

Most rich blacks today came out of conditions similar to the conditions the Katrina victims lived in. So the rich Negroes know what it means not to have the means to flee a disaster. Yet they did nothing to alleviate the suffering of those poor folks. They were to busying buying millions of dollars worth of diamonds from Africa, not giving a second thought to all the Africans who limbs were chopped off, even children, so that they could not steal that particular rock that a flashy black millionaire displays. No compassion for the thousands of South Africans Blacks buried alive in the gold mines, so that the rich blacks a world away can one-up one another with biggest gold chains.

No these rich brotherz and sistaz do little to help others who share their ethnicity. They, the rich, would rather make people from Europe richer, paying millions of dollars for gold and diamonds that Africans were paid three dollars to mine. To say nothing of the dangers the Africans face in mining the gold and diamonds.

With all that I have said here, I sincerely hope that this blog entry gets the attention of at least one of the millionaire subjects I talked about in this entry. Maybe next time there's a disaster that effects mostly their own kind, they will step up, lead, and give less fortunate black people bragging rights, and more real heroes.
