Only 4 days in and they've resorted to cannibalism?

[QUOTE]It is reported that black hurricane victims in New Orleans have begun eating corpses to survive. Four days after the storm, thousands of blacks in New Orleans are dying like dogs. No-one has come to help them.
I am a sixty-four year old African-American.
New Orleans marks the end of the America I strove for.
I am hopeless. I am sad. I am angry against my country for doing nothing when it mattered.
This is what we have come to. This defining watershed moment in Americaââ¬â¢s racial history. For all the world to witness. For those whoââ¬â¢ve been caused to listen for a lifetime to Americaââ¬â¢s ceaseless hollow bleats about democracy. For Christians, Jews and Muslims at home and abroad. For rich and poor. For African-American soldiers fighting in Iraq. For African-Americans inside the halls of officialdom and out.
My hand shakes with anger as I write. I, the formerly un-jaundiced human rights advocate, have finally come to see my country for what it really is. A monstrous fraud.
But what can I do but write about how I feel. How millions, black like me, must feel at this, the lowest moment in my countryââ¬â¢s story.

But it's not what you think it is, nigger. It's a moment when people could see for a few days the true nature of the nigger.

Robinson used to head an organization call "TransAfrica". He would advocate for "Black majority rule" in places like South Afrika. If anyone knows about canniblism it would be him. [url]http://www.lafayette.edu/news.php/view/6731/[/url] He hasn't done anything except create problems.
