Hurricane Katrina 10 years later

Good day New Orleans, Mississippi  and other affected areas. Recently Beyoncé made a video that touched on Hurricane Katrina. This upset a lot of people.  The comments ranged from racist charges from the right to what took so long and why did she bring that up again? I have news for you. If you have a problem as big as Hurricane Katrina not talking about it and trying to forget about it won't make the pain go away. As a matter of fact the pain never goes away. Think about it. All of us have experienced loss. It could be rape, murder, A.I.D.S., finances, or a number of other woes. Even rich people have issues. I was in the Post Office a few years back. A group of total strangers just out of nowhere started talking about their experiences during Hurricane Katrina. They were of all colors and backgrounds. These people were experiencing what the military refers to as PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Talking about your inner demons with someone is the only way to truly heal. Think about it. Almost 11 years later and Hurricane Katrina seems as fresh as it happened yesterday. Heck in New Orleans East some parts still look like 2005. I will pray for all of you whether you like it or not. I will pray that we can get over ourselves with our manufactured hatred and see that we are more similar than different. Thanks for reading. #Eracism
