It’s shameful how the world ignored those 300 souls who drowned - I hadn’t seen nor read anything about the tragedy until I read your latest Hobbservation Chuck. It’s also shameful that the $500K Mr. Dawood paid, could have provided safe passage for those who fled Pakistan on that rickety ship. And is tragically and equally shameful Mr. Dawood’s son was deathly afraid to board Titan and only did so as a Father’s Day ‘gift’ for his Dad..
Always a great read, Brother Chuck. I am not happy those five people died. I just hope folks understand that first of all "they" are basically going to "play" in the graveyard of the victims of the Titanic. And the waters that hold the spirits of Africans bought to this country, against their will, on slave boats. Might not be the same location but the Atlantic Ocean is the Atlantic Ocean. I am also sad that the 19 year old was trying to bond with his dad and was said to have been terrified to go on this tin can floatie. May their souls rest in peace. And may we all try to figure out what this news story was covering up while we were all distracted.
Your observations and conclusions are extremely accurate; however, it also raises another question, where is the moral leadership in our Black Culture not to support and defend the poor. Have we become so supreme that we no longer care, or we so saved that we do not care, have we earned so many degrees that we no longer know that we are "Colored, Negro, Black, African-American or assimilated to think otherwise? Where are our Black Preachers, Teachers, Doctors, Lawyers, Engineers, Nurses, Entrainers, Professional Athletes', Christians, Sinners and Saints, etc, in the quest for helping others? Thanks for sharing your thoughts and prayers that we recognize the fact that we no overcome as long as there is people in need vice greed!
I am grieved for all involved in both tragedies. That said, I am angry that the Canadian, French, US and other governments will pick up the tab for trying to rescue rich people. Their estates show have to fork over the expenses.
