The Black Informant

African-American culture, news commentary, politics

Add one cup of drama and stir

Now were back to calling them “refugees”

From CNN:

DALLAS, Texas (AP) — Young Hurricane Katrina refugees living in Texas scored considerably worse on a statewide standardized exam than Texas children, and thousands of them could be held back.

Up next,

DALLAS, Texas (AP) — Young black slaves living in Texas scored considerably worse on a statewide standardized exam than Texas children, and thousands of them could be held back.

In case you’re wondering…

Refugee - One who flees in search of refuge, as in times of war, political oppression, or religious persecution.

  2. Yeah in the days after Katrina it made my blood curl to hear these AMERICANS being called refugees. It just keeps it in the for front that blacks are not seen as true Americans. i wonder what country we are fleeing from?

  3. Man, Duane, that’s a hell of a leap. They were seeking refuge from the effects of the storm…and maybe from the effects of a sub-par school system.
