Kanye, I know you're pissed off....but I think you did more of a diservice for race relations....and raising funds!!
First off, not only BLACK people live in Mississippi. People donating money, helping, etc....are of every freakin' race and gender and sexual preference you can imagine! I understand..you're frustrated...but you're not the only one....the only race being frustrated at how slow the aid came....
I think you'd have more credibility if you said "POOR" people...Mississippi is poor...and I don't know the reasons why peeps dragged their feet...I'm sure race had to do with it..but money had more to do with it. I see white and black people crying on TV...those that have lost their homes. So it's not the black peeps that the gov't just abandoned for 5 days.....it was the poor and devasted peeps that they overlooked.
ON A SIMILAR NOTE...a tangent of mind...there's something going on at Cedars..basically....HIPAA is coming...they're harder now...Martin Luther had to close..my coworker makes this ridiculous comment that people are going to comment that Cedars passed cuz it's Jewish...and Martin closed cuz it's black. I wanted to tell him..he was totally way off..i don't think the general public would've thought that....Not that Martin Luther is predominantly black...but b/c Martin Luther had no money...the poor...whereas...Cedars...they have money....and Martin Luther had a lot of Hispanics too...shoot..walk around Cedars and you'll notice a lot of the employees are African American...so wassup with this race statement?
Is it a coincidence that a lot of minorities are poor? I dunno.....but I do know this much, we still need to cross barriers...emphasize acceptance of each other...but without being so freakin' PC. What I see right now...is that the rich is getting richer and the poor is getting poorer..but CA laws are f-ed up!! We protect non-citizens...and our own citizens get jack shit! Okay...i'm ranting now...and that leads to nowhere!!
