"...I'm Morpheus
in this hip hop Matrix,
exposing fake sh*t..." - Common in "The 6th Sense"

Well, it's been a few weeks, and folks seem to be calming down about the Katrina controversy: was the government's slow response due to the fact that New Orleans is mostly Black?

I'm not surprised that We've calmed down, and I'm sure GW nor his Mom is surprised either. I think they know that they can pretty much do whatever they want, say whatever they want, and We're not gonna do anything about it.

Let's say GW said today, "yes, it's true. I don't like Black people. If I had my way, I wouldn't have sent any aid to them..."

What would We do about it? I mean come on, think about it. After We holler and write some letters and make a big press stink for about 2 weeks, what would We do? We wouldn't impeach him. We wouldn't affect his re-election (not that We've ever been good at that, but anyway he doesn't have to worry about re-election). Folks wouldn't go out and join any progressive organizations or re-commit their lives to efforts that empower and liberate Our community.

I submit that We wouldn't do anything, cuz at the end of the day all We want to do, and all that Americans in general want to do, is to be able to come home from work, watch TV, go to dinner on Fridays and go to the mall on the weekends.

If GW ain't rockin' that boat for Us, We'll pretty much let him do whatever he wants. Collectively, We don't have the energy or motivation to actually protest anything, cuz We're too tired from working & paying Our bills.

And They know this.....
