Help Me Out Here People

I am a huge fan of the whole "Brad and Angie" marketing machine. I think they're brilliant at what they do. I'm not sure what they do, but they're great at it, none-the-less. So the caption for this photo reads: 'Committed: Brad Pitt surveys the homes he helped build in the Lower 9th Ward in New Orleans.'

Now I know Brad and Angelina are better than the rest of us. Building homes for people, helping out refugees, taking in third world children. And as a black chick, I know that most of the displaced in New Orleans were people of colour (or 'color' as you Americans spell it) -so I love that he's helping my people out.

BUT

What in God's name did he put those people in? Little Pink Houses? Is this some John Mellencamp song? Who okayed this? When are the riots starting?

Isn't Brad Pitt some sort of design/architecture junkie. Where the f*ck is the design? Where the f*ck is Architecture?

Lord have mercy.

Why the hell did Brad Pitt put a bunch of poor black folks in pink tents? Like the people of New Orleans haven't suffered enough. And why do tents need solar panels? And where are the windows? Don't black folks get windows?

Somebody explain this to me. Please.
