Here is the story that Spike Lee is going to make a movie about Katrina and the government’s failure in that disaster.
First of all, Spike. Glad you felt sorry for the victims of Katrina while you were in ITALY AT A FILM FESTIVAL!!! Are you back in the country yet?
Second of all, retire the “The US Government hates black people” sermon. I honestly believe it’s just code for “Come see my movie because I need the money.” Plus, it’s not a black thing. It’s a poor thing. Poverty and apathy.
Third of all, drop the freakin’ camera and pick up a shovel or chainsaw or box of food.
Fourth, you ‘finding out who to blame’ doesn’t help anything…except your pocketbook.
Lastly, if you are going to tell the story - be sure you tell the story of churches - black and white, rich and poor - doing what they can to bring hope and healing to this mess.

We constantly hear about popular black leaders crying “racism” at everything that happens. And the only racists that are evident are the ones they would see if they happened to look in the mirror. Send an Army battalion to battle… say two white soldiers die, and 10 black soldiers die… SOMEONE would call it racism. Americans need to wake up and smell reality, get over themselves, for there are greater things happening aside from their own personal agendas. Praise all those who helped those displaced by the tsunami, Katrina, Rita, and the earthquake in their own way. Me? I’m tired of watching and reading the news of some idiotic theory of conspiracy against one race or another. People need to take a lesson from the Chinese, lose the grudge passed down from your forefathers… get on with life.
