I remember Hurricane Katrina. Much like everyone else, in 2005 I watched as Black and brown people from some of the most impoverished sections of New Orleans were stranded. Everyone was left in a state of disgust and wonder as FEMA dragged their feet. Black people were on roofs and crammed into stadiums. At the height of all this, Kanye West did a segment during a Hurricane Katrina Red Cross relief concert where he uttered the famous words: “George Bush doesn’t care about Black people.”
