There was a tremendous amount of aid, both in money and in terms of
moral support, given by whites to Katrina relief in New Orleans. And
even then, blacks like Kanye West acted ungrateful about it and said
whites weren't helping enough. But should whites have helped the blacks
in new orleans? Let's look at what blacks had to say about September
11th, and the white people who were the victims:


Rapper: Blacks 'cheered when 9-11 happened'

If Osama bin Laden ever buys a rap album, he'll probably start with a
CD by
KRS-One.

The hip-hop anarchist has declared his solidarity with al-Qaida by
asserting
that he and other African-Americans "cheered when 9-11 happened,"
reports
the New York Daily News.

The rapper, real name Kris Parker, defiled the memory of those who died
in
the terrorist attacks as he spouted off at a recent New Yorker Festival

panel discussion.

"I say that proudly," the Boogie Down Productions founder went on,
insisting
that, before the attack, security guards kept Blacks out of the World
Trade
Center "because of the way we talk and dress.

"So when the planes hit the building, we were like, 'Mmmm - justice.' "


The atrocity of 9-11 "doesn't affect us the hip-hop community," he
said.
"9-11 happened to them, not us," he added, explaining that by "them" he

meant "the rich ... those who are oppressing us. RCA or BMG, Universal,
the
radio stations."

Parker also sneered at efforts by other rappers to get young people to
vote.

"Voting in a corrupt society adds more corruption," he added. "America
has
to commit suicide if the world is to be a better place."



In light of what blacks said about the 9/11 world trade center
bombings, should whites have donated so much money to Katrina relief in
New Orleans?
