The crap keeps getting deeper
From: ABC news
Amid the chaos and confusion that engulfed New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina struck, a local congressman used National Guard troops to check on his property and rescue his personal belongings  even while New Orleans residents were trying to get rescued from rooftops, ABC News has learned. (more…)

What’s worse is…

Brian…
I’m not sure if you actually linked to the article referrenced. The congressman was Rep. William Jefferson (Black), a member of the Congressional Black Caucus. He was also one of the Democratic congressman on record being critical of Bush response to the Katrina debacle, although it was pretty tame compared to others.
This further proves earlier points I’ve made. Many Blacks filter everything through race, and discard those things that can’t indict whites. Now, I’m now apologists for whites. I think discrinimation is prevalent in this country, and I would even venture to say that middle class Blacks are discriminated against more because of our close interation with whites in thge coporate and social settings.
Eddie’s statements should read “Some so-called Black leaders don’t give a damn about us, and we should stop letting them use us for the benefit of their white liberal counterparts. We need to be strong as individuals within the race, to empower ourselves and be independent of thought from the adulterated, corrupt political processes, as it relates to our every day lives”

I meant to say, I’m NOT apologizing for whites. They have to give account for their dirt, and it is plenty of it.

Chris,
some so called black leaders may not give a damn about you.
Some so called leaders don’t give a damn about anybody but themselves and that having nothing to do with race.
Brian,
becoming stron in ones race is not a concept I can understand.
That may be because I am mixed bag of this race and that race.
I personally believe that strength is needed among Americans as a whole.
I believe that when one race says they need strength among themselves it is a cause that seperates one American from another.
I am a white American and I don’t give a damn what color what person is.
I give a damn what kind of person they are.
If one person is a piece of crap black person, I don’t care for them because they are a piece of crap, not because they are black.
If one person is a piece of crap white person, I don’t stick with them because they are white, I discard them and have no use for them because they are a piece of crap.
I was born in 68 so I’ve no memory of the civil rights movement at it’s peak.
But it seems to me that it was about making sure that people were recognized for the fact that God create ALL persons equal and that all people were treated in such a manner.
Each person black, white, red, yellow, what-ever had the same chance as the next guy to live up to their potential. That is that no chances were taken away or made harder to achive just because of ones skin color.
So this great movement to bring people together, to level the playing field and now everyone wants to seperate further.
I don’t get it.
Maybe I never will.
People have ‘dirt’ to give account for.
I don’t believe races do.
A race is a ‘thing’ (for lack of a better term) isn’t it?
You are a person first, skin color comes far down the line.
Black does not do evil, it does not do good.
White does not do evil, it does not do good.
Persons who happen to be of one race or another do evil and good.
I don’t believe in this John Lennon ‘Imagine’ crap of kumbiya(s/p?) crap.
There isn’t a need for a big group hug.
But there sure the hell is no need for one group of people needing to seperate themselves from another (white seperatists come to mind).
Or a need for one group of people to blame another group of people for all of the worlds ills. Again white speratists come to mind and groups like the nation of islam.
One one hand you have whites blaming blacks and Jews for all of the worlds ills.
On the other you have blacks blaming whites and jews.
The whole thing is sheer stupidity and self pity imo and I believe it causes more problems than it solves.
Well, that is my 2 cent rant.

Your comments don’t make sense because…as taxpayers we’re relying on the federal government–not white people per se–to do what the government is supposed to do.
