"Jackson said evacuees from the Gulf Coast are not refugees, a word he believes suggests subhumans or criminals.

"It is racist to call American citizens refugees,'' he said."


So all those Vietnamese that came over during the war are "subhuman" or "crimainals"? And since when is "refugee" dependednt on race? People of all races were displaced because of Katrina. This man gets more idiotic every day.

Don't underestimate socialism. There is a method to their madness. I suspect their true intentions are much more heinous than the public considers. Socialism isn't simply an alternate political persuasion, it's an arrogant sickness.

Then tell that to your buddies at DU. They are calling them refugees there.

I would like Jesse's comments on the fact that the Vietnamese have already acted and taken in their own.

People of all races and genders have been displaced since the beginning of mankind. Life, it happens. Jackson should know this since he's had his own life altering mishaps(illegitmate children) while he's a married man.

J. Jackson exposes more of his ignorance. He needs to put up(his own shelter(s)) or shut up and stop being a hindrance to survivors. If Jackson thinks it's so easy to rescue, feed and shelter 200,000 to 500,000 people inside one week let the fool try. Oh yeah, he knows better.

All I wanna know is what freaking dictionary is he using?

This man is truly on his own planet. He sees racism everywhere, even in the word "refugee". Now he wants to make sure these people get moved back to the Democratic Louisiana Plantation, where they can have the privilege of voting for Governor Blanco. I hope none of them go back. They're better off not being there. What did the City of New Orleans ever do for them?

I PROMISE you one thing;
The Vietnamese who were also disproportionally made refugees (again) by this storm will do just fine in rebuilding their lives after it has passed.
It will not be easy since they came to the gulf because they had been 'acculturated' to rural, sea coast, fishing, lives for generations. Now they've been here long enough to be able to step away if needed and to do just as well in other places.

Jessie, eat your hart out, if you can find it.
