Barry Johnson: Education is the first step to breaking the chain of events holding the black community back. That includes punctuation, articulation and grammer. Hurricane Katrina was a tragedy that affected all colors, ages and sexes.

I think that what happen to new orleans was horrible. I also think that in time God has a plan and will restore New Orleans. Although there is pain now in the future you'll surviver will be able to look back and say "I made it." Things happen for a reason and just wait because what God has he has for New Orleans. So just believe and in the end you'll be rewarded for all you've been though. I wish New Orleans all the best in the future to come. Don't forget that God has not forgot about his people.

Hurricane Katrina was deeply painful. What do you say to the anguished mothers whose infants died in their arms because they could not provide food or water. What do you tell the son or daughter who parent died that they were simply pushed over to the side to sit and rot. What do you tell the parents of the child that was raped or molested or killed? How would you feel if your loved one was reduced to floating in the murky water...dead..bloated beyond recognition. Simply a tragedy!

As an award winning jouranlist, with an extensive vocabulary,it is diffcult to believe that the only word you could use to describe these poor souls is "refugee."

As an cognizant AfroAmerican, I think President Bush shoud be rapidly impeached due to his inability to execute responsible actions concerning the New Orlean's devastation. In my opinion, Bush is incapable in running America. He needs to have a serious discussion concerning race in America. My hope is that Americans willl challage his actions.

This hurricane "Katrina" has caused us to prove our faith in, and love for The Lord Jesus Christ, as we show our love, respect and service to each other. Those who use this tragedy to exploit others, beware. God often uses natural disasters to show HIS sovereignty. Keep living!

Let this tradegy serve as a warning to all Black people in America that the Government that we support through our tax dollars has defaulted on her her promise to Black America. Now is the time for Black America to turn within and establish stronger systems of self reliance in in Media and Business.
We have to tell our own story to the world or risk having someone else do it for us.
Throughout history America has shown Blacks her worst while seeking our best or that we suffer peacefully and accept their definition of who and what we are.
99.9% of the Folks affected by Katrina were just trying to survive.
Well America, there is a God in heaven (wheather you believe it or not)who sees your arrogance and is prepairing your judgement.

This is not a time to ascribe blame. I have been viewing the news and listened carefully to the comments of those affected. To say that our President is not doing the best that he can or that the citizens of that region are being treated differently based on race is not true. We must stop seeing life through the prism of race but through the prism of humanism. When I viewed the snipers, heard the reports of rapes and intimidation, and viewed the look of dispair of the faces of my fellow Americans, I became reflective and prayerful.
We must become very conscious of how we treat oneanother and I am more than saddened at he continued commitment of some to continue to vicimize and continue to intimidate others simply because they can!!!! Can you imagine the shame and dispair that the people felt at seeing girls and children raped before their eyes!!!! Ther next time a person calls a women a bitch understand that it is a preamble to destroying her dignity. There is no race of people who denegrated its mothers and daughters that thrives!!!!
Black male leaders must deal with these issues forthright and stop being cowards. I have reswntly seen an uprising of black men who are determined to tale bacjk their communities by doing such things as sleeping on the porches at night and watching the children play during the day!!! These men have harnessed their anger into constructive action and are willing to confront dsyfunction in their communities openly. I hope and praye that they will continue to do so.
The GULF will be rebuilt and I hope that we learn to rebuld our constitutions to become more humanistic and respectful of others.

This is a tragic reminder to those of us who think that we, as a people, have achieved equality in the country. This is a wake up call for those pastors at the mega-churches who encouraged their massive congregations to vote for Bush "on moral grounds". Witness the "morality" of America.
