18 September the rant about Bush & KatrinaWay to go Dubyah, you screwed up big time. You didn't know what to do when you first heard about 9/11 and you didn't know what to do when you first heard about Katrina. Fortunately, on 9/11 you had a lot of good speech writers who got you to unify the country and direct all their anger towards Iraq. Unfortunately, you can't unify the country against Mother Nature. You fucked up. You don't know what to do when the confict is internal. You are a cowboy. You'd fit right in in the old west. You'd love to get a posse all riled up and go out, guns blazing. However if the poor black slave's house down the street burns down you'd go "So what do you want me to do? I don't know carpentry, I mostly just shoot things." We all know you don't care about black people, and you hate anybody who questions your pathetic authority. I agreed with Kanye's statements on tv when he deviated from the teleprompter and said Bush doesn't care about black people. I also agreed with Eddie Griffin when he agreed with Kanye and added that Bush doesn't care about white people either. I agreed with Michael Moore's open letter to Bush that he posed on his website.
I seriously don't understand what took you so long? Your people were in major trouble and it took you a week to do *anything* to help them. What is wrong with you? Where are your brains, in your ass? Thousands of people died and you went to a party? What the fuck took you so long to respond??? I don't get it. Nobody else gets it either. If Harry Connick Jr. can wade in to a house and give a guy the shirt off his back and carry him out to a rescue boat, why couldn't the emergency rescue people do that a week ago? Isn't that what they're trained and paid to do?? What were they so busy doing that we had to get our celebrities to go in and do their job for them? Was it because the majority of the New Orleans area citizens are poor black people? What if the hurricane hit someplace like Cape Cod or Martha's Vinyard or upstate New York where there are a lot of rich white people? Would he have jumped on a plane that second and helped out firsthand? I think help would have been there a lot sooner.
The citizens of the United States, especially those hit by Katrina, are owed an explaination. A really good explaination.
Oh of course Bush is going to deny that race had anything to do with the slow response. He's not dumb enough to admit he's a racist bastard. That could get him lynched. No, he's going to deny it because nobody can really prove it; but we all know it's true.
One of the richest cities, culture-wise, in the entire United States is gone. The artwork, the architecture, the history, the dancing, it's all gone and will be extremely difficult to rebuild. Bush hasn't done nearly enough to help. Come to think of it he didn't really do a whole lot to rebuild NY after 9/11. He just went and stormed right into Afghanistan and a lot of people were so distracted with the war that they didn't notice how little effort he put towards NY aid and rebuilding.
"Mr. President, New York is in ruins. What do we do?"
"It's the terrorists fault... let's get 'em!"
"Yeah!!"
Now that he's faced with a similar devistated city, he doesn't have two clues what to do.
"Mr. President, New Orleans is in ruins. What do we do?"
(*Thinks to himself* Um... I can't say 'it's Mother Nature's fault, let's get 'er' can I?) "Um... hey look there's some terrorists... let's get em!"
"But... but... Mr. President New Orleans needs-"
"I said 'Lets get 'em!' "
*the entire population of the USA groans*
He doesn't know how to offer support and he doesn't know how to show sympathy. He has no empathy. To this day I still have no idea why the americans re-elected this cactus. I guess they all misunderestimated him and his strategery hehehe ;-) TrackbacksThe trackback URL for this entry is: http://apathygrrl.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!5712E5E005791E46!240.trak Weblogs that reference this entry
