Semi-News: Jackson Charges Hurricane Katrina Proves U.S. Racist
AZCONSERVATIVE ^ | August 9, 2005 | John Semmens

Posted on 09/09/2005 2:26:43 PM PDT by John Semmens

Reverend Jesse Jackson asserted that the devastation inflicted on poor blacks by Hurricane Katrina proves America is a racist society.

“We don’t see this kind of destruction in white or Jewish communities,” said Jackson. “Why is it always poor blacks who’re hurt? It’s because our racist society wants it that way.”

Jackson said 120,000 people in New Orleans make less than $8,000 a year. “This is less than I charge for a single speech,” Jackson pointed out.

Jackson also criticized the role given to former presidents George Bush senior and Bill Clinton as coordinators for a fund raising effort following the Katrina tragedy. “Why wasn’t I asked to lead this relief effort?” Jackson demanded to know. “As a Black man, I can feel their pain just as well, if not better than Bill Clinton. And my fees are quite reasonable.”

Jackson spoke after leading a bus convoy into New Orleans to give a speech to 450 students trapped at Xavier University. “If you’re Black and you live in a shack, your race will trap you in this place,” said Jackson.

The hurricane proves welfare creates monsters who prey on the innocent.

Notice Je$$e manetioned his fees twice? We're not focused on money, now are we? If he really cared, he'd have waived his fees.

Whoa!! That means God Almighty is prejudice against Blacks because He didn't steer the hurricane away from a city that is 75% Black and send it to a city with a mixed population of all races in even proportion. (/sarcasm>

Yeah, but with real-life characters like Jesse Jackson, who can tell the difference?

"Jackson said 120,000 people in New Orleans make less than $8,000 a year."

What's this have to do with Hurricane Katrina? And why is it America's fault that they are poor? Why is America racist because they are poor?

Hey Jessie, you mean it took a Hurricane and thousands of Blacks to die for you to notice that they were poor people in NOLA? How come you weren't helping them before? Never mind, we all know why.

I've posted this before, but I like the idea of putting him in charge of the recovery. He could cut the red tape and get the money directly to the crooks.

It's impossible to live in this country on $8000 a year. Some of them must have some other source of income.
