The Forgotten

This is incredible language. I am simply stunned by the consistent, horrifying, continual injustice inspired by Hurricane Katrina. The whole problem with what we saw unfold was a sense of complete and utter internal disconnect- "those" people on tv were not, before those moments, part of "us." They didn't feel it, we didn't feel it, and certainly, "the system," [or "the Man"] didn't feel it either.

Then Katrina. And while we began to weep because we'd seen the facts of our disconnections so evident- the system, the Man, remained cruel and ignorant [and no better spokes-person for the horrifying fact of The Man has existed in our lives before Michael Brown. What a telling example of our age of leadership].

The reason Katrina was utter societal devastation is because it exposed how much we'd lost connection, how much we'd "Forgotten" exactly what comprised of American society and culture- on absoltuely every level of culture we'd forgotten.

And NOTHING HAS CHANGED. There are many concerns that many victims, only three months later, have fallen into bureaucratic and societal hell. Good for us, eh?

More.

More.

This is our nation. And even after exposure, we're too ridiculously mis-prioritized to realize it.
