3. Reading bible passages. That's helpful. :(

Elijah Cummings reads tired old passages about "as you do to the least of them, etc. etc."

[DoYouEverWonder]

5. It's traditional

for blacks to start a meeting with either a convocation, a reading or a prayer.

[Zenlitened]

20. Seems like a waste of time to me. Gave all the 'news' stations an excuse..

... to cut away before anything of substance had been said.

[Pallas180]

4. those are yesterday's films....where are the convention cent people????

who can we call.

[Pallas180]

6. go to c span for black caucus

.

7. Jeese Jackson Jr. says media "has shifted focus from the misery to the

looting".

[Just Me]

9. Just as Jackson, Jr. slapped media for changing focus,...

,...CNN cut him off. Am watching on CSPAN. Jackson, Jr. making very powerful statements about the inadequate response.

[seemslikeadream]

10. We need to move these people out of the area now

THE PEOPLE ARE NOT REFUGEES!!!!

[habitual]

22. really drives this point

asks the damn media to STOP CALLING THESE PEOPLE REFUGEES. Says they are working, tax paying citizens of the US, NOT REFUGEES.

[leftchick]

11. kilpatrick says these folks are tax paying citizens

isn't it a shame she has to say that?

[leftchick]

12. kilpatrick

I am ashamed of america and our government

[seemslikeadream]

14. We call on Wal mart to do more

condition is slave like

[PA Democrat]

15. Wal Marts will not honor FEMA vouchers

for relief supplies in disaster area.

[seemslikeadream]

18. Rep Stephanie Jones is making me cry

[oasis]

25. "Why can't we get some cruise ships to help?" she asked. Good question.

[SammyWinstonJack]

26. CNN was covering it until the truth of the incompetency was

being spelled out too clearly and than they cut away!

[leftchick]

28. that drives me insane

who will hear these people?

[oasis]

30. C-SPAN has coverage

[leftchick]

21. oh god I am crying

:cry:

[Califooyah Operative]

24. the cbc is once again standing up for what is right.

[leftchick]

27. are any mainstream press there?

the words from these fine folks need to get out

[Q]

29. This is what the Democratic party needs to look and act like...

...and what we must become again.

THIS is the real leadership of the Democratic party.

Thank God for the Congressional Black Caucus and others speaking up when the Democratic party 'leadership' is nowhere to be found.

Thank you!

[oasis]

31. "We will address the racial issue later" say Tubbs and Watson. Right

now the emphasis should be on help.

This was in response to assembled members of the press asking questions about FEMA response being slow because most people in distress are African Americans.

[goodhue]

32. kick for contrast
