If you read my entire post, I do not deny that racism exists, but I question Kanye and Mos Def - particularly when they are unable to back up their claims with substantial evidence. Nikki:

How can you call anyone (no matter where they live, or what they have done in the past) who is a Christian, a wacko. Kanye and Mos Def were just speaking up for what they thought was right.

What I've seen argued is that Katrina shone a bright light on racial inequalities that still exist, and on the lingering effects of past racism. Sure, current racism is a factor, as it is with many things, but that's not the larger picture. <a href="http://lawandpolitics.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_lawandpolitics_archive.html#112585622389628434" rel="nofollow">An excellent read on this</a>.
