You made 3 postings preaching to me that Jesse was taking a bus load of people down there as though I did not know that (if I remember correctly, you asked me to use google to find out about it) I had already mentioned that fact. The fact that I am taking the time to respond to this point is insanity in of itself.

Another thing, stop dumbing down your own people. Many of the black folk that were evacuated have worked in the past an can work now. They are not old and feeble as you are trying to suggest.

The other day, one of the major tv stations was giving air time to people from Katrina areas, to tell their stories and to get a plug at getting employers to hire them. Some of our Black Media outlets should do the same.

Post Katrina World: Keep that in your mind. (just like b.c and a.d)

“Post Katrina World”:

What are the lessons?

Become more financial savvy. Stop living on the edge. Embrace entrepreneurship. Embrace computer technology. Create multiple sources of income. Don’t rely on “brick and mortar” only for transacting business. Embrace the capacity to share your voice with the world through internet technologies. Don’t rely on politicians for your salvation. Rely on yourself.

Two, many people have obtained jobs in the areas they were evacuated to.

What percentage of those evacuated are elderly and unable to work?

Before the term “lackluster” can be applied,you first have to determine “what percentage of those evacuated are able to work.”

I had to delete all of your comments because once again it was blatantly obvious that you did not read a word that I said beyond the title of the posting. What’s worse is that you then tried to lecture me on points that I had already covered. If you keep doing this, I am going to have to continue to delete your comments. I never have a problem with you or anyone else disagreeing with me, but please give me some respect by reading what I said BEFORE commenting.
