Moral Poverty

We've all been chewing on what, exactly, happened in New Orleans after Hurrican Katrina swept through and utter chaos broke out in her wake. As an American, I was shocked, appalled and embarassed by the thin veneer of civilation that the storm uncovered, then made short work of, like a tornado taking off a paper roof.

I'd been toying with how to put into words my take on the whole situation. Then my hubby sent me a link to this article by Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson: Moral Poverty Cost Blacks in New Orleans.

I read it, I read it again, then the words to express myself came to me: WHAT HE SAID.
