You'll note that when everyone was talking about how wonderful it was that reporters finally woke up and refused to spin the Katrina disaster, I was not among them. Standing in that horror would take almost any human outside the range of things they know how to respond to. It didn't surprise me that when shocked speechless yet pressed to speak, they'd find themselves unable to dissemble.
Me, I've been waiting to see if it was an actual state change or just exhaustion.
I'm still not sure. But that most of the major news sources I check are getting around to reporting how wrong the accusations of beastial behavior were is a good sign.
Now, every news anchor that repeated it on TV and radio needs to let his audience know he received bad information (even in the cases where they themselves inflated the issue, I'm willing to let them get away with it if they just clean up the mess).
There is no cleaning up this mess P6. We've been having a series of intensive meetings with some of the peeps we've taken in here and the mainstream media hasn't even begun to scratch the surface of some of the bestial things that were done to black folks by officials in and around New Orleans.
We had a brother who made it across the Gretna bridge before the clampdown recount his Auschwitz moment after he and others were induced onto a bus and promptly brought back across the bridge and dumped unceremoniously in a field with 3000 other black folks who were rounded up, herded onto and contained on that field for 2 days. This brother felt a wave of sheer terror as he felt certain that he and the others were headed for a mass grave at the hands of local law enforcement.
The only way this is going to come anywhere remotely close to true, and you can forget about right, is after we be the media and collect and collate all the horror stories that our people have to tell about what went down. That is, btw, Work-in-progress.
