Jack and Jill Politics: Katrina: More Proof George Bush Does Not Care About Black People

  • I am not Star Jones · 2 years ago
    I too wonder what it will take to get people to investigate the abysmal failure of the Bush Administration post-Katrina.

    Why is the Fox News Debate such a high priority for the Congressional Black Caucus and this issue is not?


    Now, isn't THIS a 854 million dollar question. Instead of marching in the 9th Ward, how about issuing some subpoenas to find out WHERE THE MONEY IS AND WHY IT ISN'T IN THE HANDS OF FOLKS THAT NEED IT?



    THAT is what the CBC needs to be raising holy hell about, instead of getting into bed and defending an alliance with the White Citizens Council Network.

    Someone in the CBC is taking and cashing a check with Rupert Murdoch's name on it to drink a can of STHU on Katrina.


    Cynthia McKinney was the only member of the CBC raising hell about Katrina victims, and all her CBC kin slung her under the bus for defending herself against a racist Capitol Hill police officer who should have known who she was when she entered the building.



    They did that at Nancy Pelosi's bidding, too.



    As a member of CBC Monitor, we will be all over the CBC like a fly on stink. Now that many of them run congressional committees, I'm proposing to write a letter to whomever chairs the committee that would be dealing with Katrina victims and place this tidbit in front of them. We will be asking the following questions:



    (1) Will there be hearings about the 854 million dollars in aid that wasn't claimed and why wasn't it claimed?



    (2) Is there legislation dealing with Katrina victims' recovery? Where is it- what is the status of it being introduced on the floor? What happened to the McKinney effort on this bill?



    (3) Who's idea was it to partner with a television organization that has a known and recorded history of being biased in their news reporting towards people of color, especially black people? Why?
