woops. Headline should be “Obama warns of ‘Quiet Riot’ among blacks.”

Bush could have sent the Bay City Rollers in for entertainment after Katrina...something to cheer the homeless and indolent.

From David Frums Diary, NOV. 19, 2002: GORE SPEAKS, based upon an ABC interview. The words are by Karenna Gore. They're talking about the 2000 election dispute.

He [her father] said, "We have to do what's best for the country, and it is not good for the country to have this kind of divisiveness. And he was on the phone, really calling off the dogs. There were people who wanted to fan the ... the flames of the racial issue and have real unrest. And he was on the phone asking them not to, because of what was best for the country not because of what was best for him politically. And that's really who he is. [My emphasis. End excerpt]

There are people still happily fanning the flames. A long hot summer coming?

Quite a title there, Rodney.
Not very descriptive though.

“with black people from New Orleans and the Gulf Coast still displaced 20 months after Hurricane Katrina, frustration and resentments are building explosively”

Is the frustration and resentment building only in New Orleans? What about Mississippi? Are any whites or other minorities frustrated and resentful, or only just blacks? Is there any frustration and resentment in the rest of the country as it watches “victims” not lift a finger to help themselves, and almost two years later are still living happily on the dole? And how about their re-electing the same incompetents that created the disaster in the first place; is that building any frustration and resentment? Frankly, I think there’s plenty of frustration and resentment floating around over NO. And if the blacks explode, this time not everyone is going to sit back and watch the ongoings on TV. Maybe its time to teach some civic lessons...

"The first-term Illinois senator said that with black people from New Orleans and the Gulf Coast still displaced 20 months after Hurricane Katrina, frustration and resentments are building explosively as they did before the 1992 riots."

Look you cocaine sniffing pandering fool, those "evacuees" are in Houston living on the dole and just got an extension for a free ride all the way to March 2009! Unemployment in Houston is 3.8% and they don't want to work! How exactly is Bush supposed to make them work?

As long as the riots are like they usually are, confined to the neighborhoods where folks only want freebies and gubmint handouts, who really gives a damn? I sure don’t, and if they want to come into my neighborhood and burn my house down, it just might be a war really quick. Obama is just another racebait jerk, and his chain ought to be pulled by the adult leadership in the black community, if such a thing even exists anymore.

I think they'd stand out if they were among blacks.

Obama evidently does not need any votes except the Jesse Sharpton crowd. I don’t think he is going to have any chance if he happens to get the Rat nomination....he is just another hate mongering leftist inciting a riot, jeez.

Obama’s first mistake in my view . . . he’s making himself just another race huckster.

Didn’t the liberal candidate for PM in rance try this? Violence actually occurred.

Is B. Hussein Obama really so desparate as to attempt extortion? Sad.

The biggest threat to low income blacks comes from the illegal alien invasion.

If Obama cares for his people, he better come out against this amnesty bill and the open border waves that will follow.

It should be illuminating to black America that both the Republicans AND Democrats have dumped them in favor of the increasing hispanic minority (soon to be majority, gringo). LaRaza has replaced the NAACP as the special interest du jour.

Obama said “the poverty and the hopelessness was there long before the hurricane.”

Then it was also there long before Bush took office. Will Obama have the guts to lay the blame on Hillary’s husband, too? Or would that seem too cynical.

Or will they note the city has been governed by democrat mayors for years and was at the time governed by Ray Nagin? I wonder if any reporters will ask Nagin about the ‘long-held’ black hatred against his policies.

He argued that once a hurricane hits or a jury renders a not guilty verdict, "the frustration is there for all to see."

Oh, does he mean like when OJ got away with killing two white people?

I read a piece in the Houston Chronicle that said New Orleans residents are TIRED OF WAITING FOR GOVERNMENT and are taking matters into their own hand and fixing the city. Well Yea! It’s about time!

And the horse Obama rode in on! Veiled extortion from a candidate who has been treated with kid gloves due entirely to his semi-black hide!
