This week marked the one year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, which means it’s time for white Americans to look into the mirror and ask themselves what they have done to make life easier for the millions of impoverished Blacks they allowed to drown in New Orleans. The answer is, to put it bluntly, diddly squat.
Large crowds of local politicians stand around wondering what Bush is going to do about it.
Parts of the Gulf of Mexico are still completely underwater.
Thousands who fled Louisiana haven't been offered enough cash incentives to come back.
We can never completely repay African-Americans for what we did to them in New Orleans. But there are meaningless little gestures we can make to show the Black community that we at least care enough to pretend like we give damn about their suffering. Naming a street in your community after Dr. Martin Luther King. Treat them like helpless children who need constant nurturing to survive
