A lot of Black folks are batshit crazy because this is an issue that is being talked about by a lot of Black folks.

Disparage the messenger all you want but a lot of Black folk believe some that some vile, nasty shit went down in NOLA.

I got no problem with you slamming Farrakhan but isn't it interesting how a lot of conversation regarding NOLA lately has been centered around how New Orleans is never going to be a "Black" city again. Hell, there were quite a few threads on DU about it. I've seen the tinfoil raised in this place on less shit than saying the levees were bombed to get rid of Black folk.

You know it's funny, there's a big thread going on about how one poll revealed that Bush's support among Black's has dropped to 2% and all you hear is cheers. But when Farrakhan speaks about a topic that I suspect most of us Black Folk believe, right or wrong, then the topic turns to him and how when he speaks a message that resonates with a lot of Black Americans, he's BATSHIT CRAZY.

You know why Blacks feel taken to granted by the Democratic party, it's because of Bullshit like this. If Farrakhan had the ear of the majority of Black people in this country, he would be a major political force. He doesn't and he isn't. So why do you White people waste so much time and energy on him? A lot, probably a majority, of Black folk probably believes that the government bombed the levees. And in light of all the bullshit that's been heaped upon us in the days since Katrina hit, it would be hard not to buy into that if you're Black.

So what do you do, you speak to the messenger and not to the message. You know what Democrats better fear: that the 98% of Black Americans who detest Bush don't decide to sit on their asses in 2006 and 2008 because they think the Democratize party is run run by a bunch of pussies who couldn't put up when one of their most loyal constituencies was under fire.

Farrakhan is going to have the ear of millions of Black Americans this weekend. Millions of Black American's ears after Katrina. And you write a post about how is Farrakhan BATSHIT CRAZY. BATSHIT CRAZY after the thousands of images of Black suffering after Katrina. BATSHIT CRAZY after all of the horror stories of gang rape in the Superdome and kids getting their throats cut and stacked on freezers. BATSHIT CRAZY when Bill Bennett speaks openly of aborting ALL Black babies to reduce crime. BATSHIT CRAZY after the HUD director says NOLA will never again be a Black city.


Do me a favor, buy a fucking clue!
