> New Orleans Went Under - A Black Man Comments

> By Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson

> Say a hurricane is about to destroy the city you live in.

> Two questions:

> What would you do?
> What would you do if you were black?

> Sadly, the two questions don't have the same answer.

> To the first: Most of us would take our families out of that city
> quickly to protect them from danger.

> Then, able-bodied men would return to help others in need, as wives and
> others cared for children, elderly, infirm and the like.

> For better or worse, Hurricane Katrina has told us the answer to the
> second question. If you're black and a hurricane is about to destroy
> your city, you'll probably wait for the government to save you.

> This was not always the case. Prior to 40 years ago, such a pathetic
> performance by the black community in a time of crisis would have been
> inconceivable.

> The first response would have come from black men. They would take care
> of their families, bring them to safety, and then help the rest of the
> community. Then local government would come in.

> No longer. When 75 percent of New Orleans residents had left the city,
> it was primarily immoral, welfare-pampered blacks that stayed behind and
> waited for the government to bail them out. This, as we know, did not
> turn out good results.

> Enter Jesse Jackson and Louis Farrakhan. Jackson and Farrakhan laid
> blame on "racist" President Bush.

> Farrakhan actually proposed the idea that the government blew up a levee
> so as to kill blacks and save whites.

> The two demanded massive governmental spending to rebuild New Orleans ,
> above and beyond the federal government's proposed $60 billion.

> Not only that, these two were positioning themselves as the gatekeepers
> to supervise the dispersion of funds.

> Perfect: Two of the most dishonest elite blacks in America ,
> "overseeing" billions of dollars. I wonder where that money will end up.

> Of course, if these two were really serious about laying blame on
> government, they should blame the local one.

> Responsibility to perform legally and practically fell first on the
> mayor of New Orleans We are now all familiar with Mayor Ray Nagin the
> black who likes to yell at President Bush for failing to do Nagin's job.

> The facts, unfortunately, do not support Nagin's wailing. As the
> Washington Times puts it, "recent reports show [Nagin] failed to follow
> through on his own city's emergency-response plan, which acknowledged
> that thousands of the city's poorest residents would have no way to
> evacuate the city."

> One wonders how there was "no way" for these people to evacuate the
> city. We have photographic evidence telling us otherwise.

> You've probably seen it by now the photo showing 2,000 parked school
> buses, unused and under water. How much planning does it require to put
> people on a bus and leave town, Mayor Nagin?

> Instead of doing the obvious, Mayor Nagin (with no positive contribution
> from Gov. Kathleen Blanco, the other major leader vested with
> responsibility to address the hurricane disaster) loaded remaining New
> Orleans residents into the Superdome and the city's convention center.
> We know how that plan turned out.

> About five years ago, in a debate before the National Association of
> Black Journalists, I stated that if whites were to just leave the United
> States and let blacks run the country, they would turn America into a
> ghetto within 10 years. The audience, shall we say, disagreed with me
> strongly. Now I have to disagree with me. I gave blacks too much credit.
> It took a mere three days for blacks to turn the Superdome and the
> convention center into ghettos, rampant with theft, rape and murder.

> President Bush is not to blame for the rampant immorality of blacks. Had
> New Orleans ' black community taken action, most would have been out of
> harm's way. But most were too lazy, immoral and trifling to do anything
> productive for themselves.

> All Americans must tell blacks this truth. It was blacks' moral poverty
> not their material poverty that cost them dearly in New Orleans
> Farrakhan, Jackson, and other race hustlers are to be repudiated for
> they will only perpetuate this problem by stirring up hatred and
> applauding moral corruption.

> New Orleans , to the extent it is to be rebuilt, should be remade into a
> dependency-free, morally strong city where corruption is opposed and
> success is applauded. Blacks are obligated to help themselves and not
> depend on the government to care for them. We are all obligated to tell
> them so.
