In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina we see some problematic race issue. There are Black Americans very concerned that the slower than anticipated relief efforts. In fact some have taken to the media and even written scathing reports and condemnations of everyone from the former Head of FEMA to the President of the United States claiming they are anti-black and helped white people first.

I am saddened to find our citizens feel like this, it upsets me. I read one article that a Malcolm X or a modern day MLK could have well written it. It was an attack on the leadership telling of anti-African American sentiments. A well written article by a talented writer in fact certain paragraphs could easily have referred to Chinese Immigrants crawling thru tunnels to set dynamite charges to build the railroad, which were often set off before they could get out or Irish Americans during the Industrial Revolution; or the exploited of other countries. I understand that some Internet News outlets refuse to allow such articles. I understand them not wanting to post such articles as they appears to insight anger, rebellion and borderlines on revolution. Especially after Great Britain and her move to make International Terrorism talk illegal in Mosques.

Yet we know that such articles are all the part of the human endeavor in its sound and fury of many a past and present period. Perhaps these issues and articles do need to be heard. Many feel it is better to not silence such feelings as if we allow them to stew, rather than allow the emotion to flow that we may not understand their plight or growing inner rage. The argument is if we do not listen the problem of race will continue to fester until riots erupt in the future?

As we see International Terrorists attempt to recruit Americans in our country to join their hatred, we now know how one could fall to their offer. Perhaps if we understood these feelings and issues we might as well prevent the recruiting of Americans to assist in joining those Radical Islamic Jihad
