segment titled 'A tale of two cities: 'Vanilla'
Malibu, 'Chocolate' New Orleans'
If one honestly wants a hawks eye view of how race and
class preference are played out and are intertwined in
America and it's cities this true living tale is for
you. It is a classic tale of American inclusion and
exclusion. Support and denial. Generosity and
genocide.
This hour Slave Revolt! in a (Beyond the shadow)
segment titled 'A tale of two cities: 'Vanilla'
Malibu, 'Chocolate' New Orleans' we explore how Fema
responds to 'Vanilla' Malibu when it's frequent and
natural firestorms blaze it's way through the zones
that Malibu residents insist on living. This is in
comparison to 'Chocolate' New Orleans. How public
money is distributed is contrasted in black and white.
The response of Mayors, Governors, and the 'Orders'
law enforcement agencies in the two cities gives some
insight what flavor is prefered in this society. The
privatized racialized order then blends together who
profits off of these disasters regardless of what city
you reside in. Making it clear that this 'Vanilla'
koolade is a human made capitalist drink with the
ingredients of a hierarchical elitist, economic,
psychological, social political mixture that puts the
Jim Jones/Cia koolade to shame.
