Kanye Was Right :: ColorOfChange.org
"Our sisters and brothers were left behind to die, because no one answers to them. It's time to stand together and make a change.
Politicians ignore poor Black folks because they can't make big donations or deliver votes. And, to be real: a whole lot of 'us' have tip-toed out of the hood and left them behind too, making our folk invisible even to us.
But they weren't invisible after Katrina hit. The media showed us faces we recognized. People who looked like us. People doing everything they could to save their families. People surviving, not 'looting.' And the more we looked, the more we knew—it didn't have to be like that.
This government NEVER would have left rich, white people to die." ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
