I think COLA's referring to
the statement made by Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam, who said he believed a dam in New Orleans was blown up on purpose to flood the black quarter, and that Katrina had nothing to do with it. Umm, or not - but I've not been able to find a group called "Radical Islam" in any news source.
Anyway, Farrakhan's reaction
is what you'd call paranoid. But
Newsday made this point that was interesting:
Quote:
When rapper Kanye West said "George Bush doesn't care about black people" during a disaster-relief telethon, he spoke for scores of black people. They don't view Bush as a flat-out racist; they just feel the president, like many whites, simply doesn't see black America.
