"George Bush doesn't care about black people"

[skewgee]

So says Mr. Kanye West, and I am inclined to agree. The crisis in New Orleans is just the latest example. A more astute assesment would be that Dubya doesn't care about poor people. Like father like son

i'd be happy to unite with all bloggers, much as we're both united under the big ElJay tree, buttttt...my blog ain't about to change anythin'.

anyway, that look at the new orleans tragedy was beautifully spoken. i see it, too, as an issue of class rather than racism; these riots weren't caused by a videotape of white policemen beating a helpless black man. but there's something disturbingly metaphorical about a massive storm that sweeps through and wipes out thousands upon thousands of poor black families.

the best opportunity i can see arising from this storm would be addressing this exact issue: how race affects class, and vice versa. it's enough, at least, to give bloggers a nasty case of carpal tunnel.
