On the 17th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina’s devastation of New Orleans, Rick Sanchez looks back on the disgraceful and degrading way that CNN covered this natural disaster.  By calling American citizens who were victims of the storm refugees and looters, they criminalized a group of innocent people who were simply trying to survive.  Sanchez is joined by Hawk Newsome, President of the New York Chapter of Black Lives Matter, and they discuss the race problem that still exists in America.  Sanchez and Newsome agree that the news media continues to program people’s minds against minorities in this country and that it doesn’t help matters when African American leaders sell out their own people for profit.
