Republicans Compare BP Oil Spill To Katrina

In another attempt to disparage the Obama administration, Republicans have compared the government response to the BP oil spill the Bush's response to Hurricane Katrina.

Although the comparison is ludicrous, media outlets continue to report on the spill like it is a national crises. They banner their news casts with "Day 44" like the hostage crises in Iran. They show pictures of floating oil and soaked birds as if the end of the world was fast approaching. Then they cry out, "where is the President?"

It's all bullshit!

First, there is no comparison between HURRICANE Katrina and the BP Oil spill. Over 1500 citizens lost their lives in Katrina, only 11 at the BP oil rig. Thousands of people lost their homes and businesses from all walks of life in Katrina. So far a few fishermen and shrimpers have reported lost income, but, they still have their lives and homes.

Katrina was a natural disaster. The National Weather Service gave plenty of warning. The state and city and federal governments failed to evacuate the old, poor and sick. Left prisoners and hospital patients to drown. Sent the National guard to shoot survivors trying to find food and water. Failed to provide the money and resources to rebuild.

The BP oil spill is entirely a man made disaster. The government had no advance warning. Has no oil drilling or capping equipment in it's budget. Has no "Department of Oil" that deals with oil spills. Is overspent on it's budget while BP makes billions in profit each quarter.

A few oily birds and unemployed shrimpers is the same as a thousand drowned niggers I guess.

The Republicans have repeatedly blamed Obama for the entire mess.

The President has accepted responsibility for the mess, while sending the Justice Department down to determine if criminal charges are forthcoming for BP. Meanwhile Republicans like Bobby Jindal, who refused federal bailout money, are now screaming for federal money like a crack addicts. The same teabaggers who wanted the federal government out private business are now crying for federal help.

Hypocrites.

From the beginning President Obama should have told BP that someones ass would be thrown in jail for every day the oil leaked. They would sit their asses in jail until the leak was stopped and the oil cleaned up.

That is the only way Obama can assume responsibility for this ongoing mess. The government does not posses the technical expertise or equipment to stop the leak.

They do have plenty of jails.

Police Coverup Murder of Katrina Victims

As police scrambled to protect White property from the victims of the greatest natural disaster to befall this nation in 100 years, they murdered two African Americans seeking shelter from rising waters, and shot four others. All in an attempt to keep Blacks across the river from white neighborhoods and businesses.

As these victims frantically searched for food, water, and shelter from the rising flood, police and National Guard troops were directed to shoot any Black people they saw approaching the dry, predominately white areas of Metarie, Kenner, and the Central Business District. The police then covered up the shootings with lies. Indicating that starving, thirsty, drowning people were roaming the streets with guns shooting at anything that moved. Lying assholes!

Then the police department investigated itself, declared the shooters heroes, then patted themselves on the back for a job well done.

This pattern of police brutality is nothing new. From Philadelphia to Boston. From New York to Oakland, the pattern is the same. The murderers of Sean Bell were recently acquitted in New York after a police cover up.

In each case a few protesters come out and march around. The Mayor promises a full investigation. Jesse and Al make an appearance. The police are acquitted. The family sues for a few bucks. The whole thing is forgotten until the next time. Arthur McDuffie, Amadou Diallo, Sean Bell and so on and so on until one day the victim is your son or YOU! It is open season on Black men. The police can arrest or shoot us with impunity all across America.

Yet, we still fight to defend this country. We shed blood for a country that sells us drugs, guns, prostitutes, and death. Our leaders are turncoats and sellouts. They make fine speeches and collect big fees but never achieve anything. The Black Panthers looked good on parade, but, they couldn't even defend themselves let alone the community. Murderers are never brought to justice, unless a white person is killed by mistake.

Eventually, more and more police officers will be shot and killed by angry friends and relatives of the murdered victims. There are more guns on the streets than there have every been in the history of mankind, and the number grows every day. Instead of shooting each other on the streets for chump change, respect, or just plain stupidity, police will become the victims of drive bys, home invasions, and donut shop massacres.

The entire New Orleans Police Department has been corrupt since it's inception. They are racist, murdering,drug dealing thugs with badges. I have personally seen them harass, degrade, and even spit on Black people in the city. Richard Arrington, a highly decorated Black Police Commissioner, was run out of town when he tried to fight corruption in the police department.

This is why I never shed tears when Police are shot. In most cases, justice is finally served.
