In New Orleans, Poverty More Moral Than Economic Says Rev.

GULF COAST HURRICANES

Displaced New Orleans resident Walter Franklin (R) stands in front of a television cameraman during a demonstration protesting the pace of FEMA's response to Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, Louisiana February 23, 2006. REUTERS/Lucas Jackson COMMENTLINE
Because Hurricane Katrina has taken so many column inches of news and imagery on this blog, it seems only fitting to include some opinion. Enter the Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson. Sure to elevate the Katrina debate into levels of tension heretofore unknown, I present for your inspection some choice tidbits of his edgy commentary.

NEWSLINE
"About five years ago, in a debate before the National Association of Black Journalists, I stated that if whites were to just leave the United States and let blacks run the country, they would turn America into a ghetto within 10 years. The audience, shall we say, disagreed with me strongly. Now I have to disagree with me. I gave blacks too much credit. It took a mere three days for blacks to turn the Superdome and the convention center into ghettos, rampant with theft, rape and murder." Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson

Moral poverty costs blacks in New Orleans
(WorldNetDaily.com) -- Say a hurricane is about to destroy the city you live in. Two questions:
1. What would you do?
2. What would you do if you were black?
Sadly, the two questions don't have the same answer

Moral Poverty is the Problem in New Orleans, Not Lack of Money, Says Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 16 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, founder and president of BOND (Brotherhood Organization of A New Destiny) issued the following statement after the release of a month-long investigation by two federal agencies which uncovered that FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) wasted and was defrauded of hundreds of millions of dollars in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Among some of the waste reported was that FEMA spent $878.8 million on 25,000 unused manufactured homes, and issued thousands of checks and $2,000 debit cards to people without checking their identities or claims.
