Disgust.
I guess I chose to write in my livejournal because I can't stop my face from tearing up. I can't wipe its tears off, because as soon as it dries, new ones appear. Maybe I chose to write in this journal, because my friends read this... I can't write in my myspace blog, because I don't know how to change the settings on it.
Watching that tape, and listening to Kanye West go off..."George Bush doesn't care about Black people". He's RIGHT. He's so...right. I can't quite put it into words why this National Disaster effects me so much, but it DOES. Hurricaine Katrina is more than a national disaster on the environmental level; it is a disaster within a disaster.
I can't hold much viewpoints in politics, but I am politically correct when I stand by myself to say that I'm disgusted with this country. I am disgusted with this president. How can you even call somebody a president when they don't do anything to help their people. They don't do anything to aid the education defficit. They don't do anything to help the cost of living, the cost of gas, only because they know that by keeping the cost of living so high, that at least they will go home to a warm bed at night, with expensive roofing over their head.
Maybe I'm materialistic. Maybe I'm selfish. But the racial sickness that dwells in the soil of America every day gives me a headache. It makes my heart hurt. It makes me sitting here, surfing the web while babysitting, only to find out that story about Kanye...and it makes my heart cry. I can't keep my face straight. This doesn't affect me personally (Katrina) but this affects my own dignity, my own pride, my own sense of guilt. I want so much to help in this situation, but it's more than helping by sending food down.
How could you, Mr. President, in charge of a country as "Powerful" as yours, live with yourself knowing that you're doing absolutely nothing to help an entire city go to waste, because you are from Texas, raised with a bunch of other fat fucks who are racially and emotionally ignorant to anybody but your own.
Fucking country. I'm sick to my stomach.
