KATRINA: ONE YEAR LATER

On August 29th, the world will take a moment to remember the tragic events of Hurricane Katrina. Our President will hold a press conference touting everything that his administration has done for the area. He also plans on spending the night in New Orleans to show the world that he is ON THE FRONTLINES. Unfornately, things in New Orleans are no better than they were one year ago. There STILL are thousands living in mobile homes (with unsecured locks - see link below). There are STILL thousands of New Orleans residents living in other states because they don't have a home or job to come back to. Crime is running rampant in the area. And finally, the local and federal politicians are NOT DOING THEIR PART.

It's extremely sad when I turn on the news to find out that America has pledged billions of dollars to other countries or will send troops to other countries but our administration won't ORDER the politicians to REBUILD this city.

August 29th will only serve one purpose for me. That purpose is to remind me that I must VOTE during the upcoming elections because the treatment New Orleans residents are receiving is a classic example of how this administration values foreign policies more than it values the issues are home.

For those of you that are still supporting this administration, I must remind you that the events of New Orleans could have easily been in your hometown. How would you like to feel like a "refugee?"

Prediction: U.S. First Black President

Not Jesse Jackson! Not Al Sharton! Not even Colin Powell! Barack Obama, the freshmen Senator from Illinois, will be the first black President of the United States. Mr. Obama has something we haven't seen since William Jefferson Clinton was elected President. He's charismatic! Unlike Howard Dean, Democratic National Leader (I don't know why) or John Kerry, Mr. Obama has a way of getting focused attention (when he speaks) from Republicans, Democrats, white people, black people, Asian-Americans, Hispanics, and everyone else. Personally, I believe he has a better shot than Hillary Clinton (although I believe her time is coming). Maybe after the way the Bush administration treated Colin Powell, he could be Barack Obama's running mate (Vice President), then eventually succeed him in eight years. This would cover all bases. You will have the communicator (Obama) and the experienced military man (Powell). The Republicans couldn't say the Democrats don't care about National Security. Bush wouldn't be able to make statements like "There's a group in the opposition party who are willing to retreat before the mission is done," he said. "They're willing to wave the white flag of surrender. And if they succeed, the United States will be worse off, and the world will be worse off."

The Wrong Man (Being a Black Man Series)

In life we all have something that just scares us to death. For some people it's not having enough money to pay the rent. For others, it's not getting married or having kids before their biological clock starts ringing. For me, it's being mistaken for someone that just committed a crime (and spending time in jail for it).

Yesterday's Washington Post told the story of Maryland resident Elias Fishburne. Mr. Fishburne was mistaken for a career criminal named Jarvis Tucker while driving on morning. This article takes the reader through Mr. Fishburne's emotions during this terrible ordeal. It also points out the old saying that black men are "guilty until proven innonence." Although Mr. Fishburne continued to urge the Maryland police officials to match his fingerprints against those of Jarvis Tucker, he was IGNORE. It was Mr. Fishburne's job to prove he wasn't Jarvis Tucker not vice versa.
