“If Black folks want to blame someone for this tragedy they only need to look in the mirror. Mayor Nagin has blamed everyone else except himself. The Mayor failed in his duty to evacuate and protect the people of New Orleans. Our prayers go out to the families of the deceased. Hopefully this will help Black people realize the folly of depending on the government or leaders and serve as a notice to avert future tragedies in other cities.”
“The truth is black people died, not because of President Bush or racism, they died because of their unhealthy dependence on the government and the incompetence of Mayor Ray Nagin and Governor Kathleen Blanco,”
“Our prayers go out to the families of the deceased, ... Hopefully this will help black people realize the folly of depending on the government or leaders and serve as a notice to avert future tragedies in other cities.”
“This is a terrible situation and we need to have compassion. The truth is Black people died not because of President Bush or racism, they died because of their unhealthy dependence on the government and the incompetence of Mayor Ray Nagin and Governor Kathleen Blanco,”
“The problem stems from the lack of strong families with parents who hold sound, godly principles. Black men need to overcome anger, so they can take back their lives from the enemies who parade as friends. They must become heads of their families again, and begin to appreciate being productive citizens. Then and only then will we begin to see a change in the black family, which will extend to the community and to the country at large.”
“I'm pleased the court ruled in our favor, ... I am looking forward to taking my case to court and to forcing Jesse Jackson to answer for his actions.”
