So I've been watching the news lately and...

The difference isn't about sand bagging.  It's about one groups reaction being "get to work" and the other group holding thier hands out.

New Orleans was and maybe is one of the lowest educated group of people. I saw that somewhere. I think that makes a difference. My brother lived there for 2 years. He said it was pitiful. He would point out the schools are right down the street and they refused to go.

I also think that they had a mindset to wait on the government to things since many were on welfare.

dynomite.. where did you get that definition from?    I really don't have time to mess with people who insist that others call them something different every few decades.

negro is a neutral term still in use.

This is from websters....

Maybe someday we will all just ignore race and call people... people

Maybe someday we will all just ignore race and call people... people

that was indeed the idea that martin luther king talked about.......and one I believed could happen...
then we got ms black america, the congressional black caucus, black entertainment television, kwanzaa, and a host of other "black-only" groups...making it look like black america does not share the vision king had........by indeed choosing to divide and segregate "by color"...

king took a bullet for his work...and now he rolls in his grave when he sees the highly disproportionate number of black dead beat dads, black high school drop-outs, and black "entertainers" talking about women like they were property, using the N word, and preaching crime over hard work.

I truly believe those people I mention above spit in king's face.......and memory........and think of him only as a holiday.

Unfortunately many if not all of the groups you mention were necessary for Blacks to have any chance at education or a fair shake in general. I hope they all go away someday too.
