American Progress?


In this photo, I see regression in America. I remember the lack of aid for African Americans in need after Katrina. This relates to reconstruction and race. One might draw from the photo that it was taken in a helicopter that likely kept moving. Perhaps they didn’t stop because of the misspelled “please” and their racist attitudes towards blacks, thus a lack of progression. Or is it not miss-spelled, and thus has its own meaning? I remember the use of the flag in the civil rights movie, and wonder if this is a purposeful parallel to that usage of the flag?

The helicopter didn't stop because
1) It was a government helicopter and there was no category on the landing form for the misspelling.
2) It was a private sector helicopter and its pilot had already been carjacked once. He didn't want to lose a helicopter too.

Katrina was a pitiful display of the pathology of BLACK poverty. People who spend their lives waiting for someone else do do something about their problems.

Anyway, quit feeling sorry for these loosers. All they had to do was walk on out. Everyone else did it.
