"The dark side of black people"
Leghiton Levy - The Jamaica Star News LtD
Kingston, Jamaica
LET ME START by saying that if I had my life to live
over a thousand times, the one thing I would not
change would be my race. I am proud to be a black man.
There are times however, when I wish that certain
people and I did not share that trait.
For the past few days, the whole world ... well, at least
those who have access to satellite and cable television,
have been seeing pictures of the virtually total devastation
of the cities of the U.S. Gulf Coast by Hurricane Katrina.
An estimated 90 per cent of homes in New Orleans
have been destroyed by flood waters and more than
100 people have been confirmed dead.
We see people standing on the roofs of their submerged
homes desperate to be rescued, others being airlifted
to safety, and we have heard tear-jerking stories of
families losing their loved ones. But in all of this, we
have also seen the really dark side of black people.
The day after the hurricane passed, there were
reports of looting but network reporters had
been saying that people were looting out of
desperation, in search of food and water.
A lot they knew.
The pictures I have been seeing are of
people - black people - stealing shoes, diapers,
and television sets. Not food and definitely not
water. Not unless the armfuls of clothing, shoes,
and appliances I see people wading through
the streets with count as food and water.
Now, if all the looters were looting out of desperation,
how desperate were the guy and girls I saw toting
several boxes of size 13 Nikes? How desperate
was the fellow with the stack of diapers? What, is it
that he has several babies at home suffering from
loose bowels? What am I talking about, what home?
Everything is under water and what isn't, has been totally destroyed.
And just what are those guys stealing the plasma
television sets going to be watching when there is no
power in the entire city?
Desperation? Yeah, right. I am beginning to believe
that black people, no matter where in the world they
are, are cursed with a genetic predisposition to
steal, murder, and create mayhem.
The entire firearm department at a Wal-Mart department
store, for example, was cleaned out and the looters
used the stolen weapons to rob people. How low is
that? Everybody is suffering and the black people
would seek to rob people who are suffering just like themselves.
And it has nothing to do with poverty. Where are the
white people in all this? I am sure there are poor white
people living in New Orleans, Biloxi and the other
towns affected by what has been going on. Is it that
the media are not showing pictures of them looting
and robbing? Or is it that they are too busy trying
to stay alive, waiting to be rescued, and hiding from the blacks.
And you know what? Even if the poor whites were
looting and robbing, wouldn't it be nice if the blacks
could have made them the only ones doing it
Just once, I would like for us blacks to take the high road
in situations like this, where instead of showing our
darkest side, we put our best foot forward. But I guess that
would be too much to ask, too much of a case of wishful thinking.
