LEFT BEHIND

Left Behind by Bruce H, Scroggins

America has neglected, the people of color, and the poor, on purpose, it was by design, it is benign neglect, of the most vulnerable Americans, and that is our National Tragedy, and the whole world is watching America, and by their neglect, they have allowed, and fostered murders, of our very young, and the very old, and those already sick, and these are the very people who, have supported New Orleans, from generations to generation, with hard work, and today have nothing but the skin on the backs.

This is flat out racism against Blacks, and this is a crime against humanity, and is being played out in the 24 hour News Cycle, and the News Organizations and they ask WHY? Why? Are they stealing, and killing each other, and some in power, lets start with the Governors, are now saying… ZERO tolerance, to looters, and I have given orders to shoot to kill.

And the poor are asking, WHY? Why won’t you help us, you fly over us, and you see us waving, and dying, right in front of the camera, where are the troops? Where are the Police?

The Bush Administration is not alone in this Racist National Tragedy, this gose back at least five Adminastrations, all the way to Nixson. The Congress knew what those in Louisiana told them, for years will happen, and about the levees being in a dilapidated state, and that they needed 208 million dollars to finished the work, to shore up there deathly needed protection, and all for the most vulnerable people, and Bush’s budget, allotted 10 million dollars, and today, I’d say 30 to 50 Billion would be a low ball estimate for repairs, but until some one makes a real plan, would be throwing good money, behind, not enough money, to rebuild a City, waiting, for the next “Perfect Storm.”

No one will do a story on those who live on the High ground, and are isolated, but have limited resource, all the movers and shakers of Commerce, and Private Business, and Government, there homes are protected by the Local Police, who America, and the World didn’t see in the aftermath of “Katrina.,” you know what hurts the most, the powers that be, knew they were leaving the most vulnerable people behind, and they left them anyway, that is the height of arrogance, for any society, it is a sin, and “reproach to any nation.”

Left behind is mild in description of what we all have seen happen to Blacks, in the South, from New Orleans to Mississippi, to Alabama. New Orleans's a city that’s older than America, built on tourism, with all the service jobs gone, and all the homes of the workers gone, with literally “nothing to eat, or drink, and no where to sleep, the poor went crazy, they were in near, to full blow panic, and some would even attach those few who’ve come to help.

All over the world, there have been discussions about, what would happen if a storm hit New Orleans, and three days ago it happened, and all the plans of men and of racist Institutions, headed by the power elite, have shrunk from view, only surfacing to say how bad it is, and then go to the next extreme, and say, “shoot to kill,” there will be n tolerance.

But let me tell you America, Black America is pulling together, through, the help of Americans, and If you want to help, you can call any CHURCH or TEMPLE, or SYNGOGUE, Black or White, MUSLIM or CHRISTIAN, or call the NAACP, or the URBAN LEAGUE, or RAINBOWPUSH, or the REDCROSS, or the SALVATION ARMY, you can call the Big News organizations, like NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX, or CSAN, PBS, MBS, or BET, You can give money, or food, or clothing, and for those who have the heart, you can open your home to those who most desperately need shelter, but do this with a wise and understanding heart, and seek guidance, before, making your home available.

And first before doing anything, if you believe, pray and meditate, we need all the guidance we can get, because this is going be, for a lot of Americans, a long and dark journey into the Light of the real America, we all talk about, and have for much of our lives believed was for all Americans, a "Christian Country,"… well were going to get our chance to show the world, it wasn’t all talk, but remember, the world saw America clearly LEAVE BEHIND AMERICANS, so lets get to work.
