This is absolutely disgusting. This is no different than the Japanese during WWII, and while we are not trying to kill them we are taking away their lives.

I'm sure somewhere Michelle Malkin is guzzling champagne, and I hope she chokes on it.

Not that it's an error made in this post, but I think it's a mistake to think of America's treatment of its black citizens using the same kind of model as we consider other forms of racism or bigotry. Unlike with other ethnicities or races, we are, as Jesse Jackson put it last week, uniquely inured to the suffering of black people. The slowness by the federal, and to some extent, state and local governments, can perhaps partly be explained by an unconcious tolerance of images of black people in pain. A number of conservative pundits have seemed dismissive, and genuinely so, of the idea that there was a deliberate hesitance to provide aid because the victims of the disaster were black. This is consistent with an outdated, but still prevelant (on both sides of the issue) understanding of racism of existing either in the form of concious hatred, or not at all. Racism exists, certainly, but nowawdays it seems to come out far more often in the form of unconcious biases rather than deliberately motivated action. When it came to ordering a response, I don't think those in positions of power thought anything along the lines of "Let 'em suffer, they're black" so much as, perhaps, unconciously, "This isn't so bad, some black people are displaced, but this is nothing new" and were perhaps not as alarmed by the scale of the suffering as if white families had been so displaced. The same explanation could perhaps be used for the forager/looter discrepancy that several press outlets have made when labeling photos of black and white victims with food and supplies. This is a largely unpronounced bias and one that I think is still largely unacknowledged when we speak of racial matters, but one which I also think it complicated when certain liberal voices cry "Racist!" at an incident such as this. It is racist, and one that should be labeled as such, but also one that needs to be carefully examined and considered logically, not with the hurling of defamations.
Michelle Malkin is going to bear my child. I'd much appreciate if you would not wish her ill.
Hi there " chocol emoose " --- I was in the search engines researching SEO Software when I came upon your blog..... I don't know if you are out of place in the engines, or I am out of place and just don't realize it :-)
