I wonder how many millions we’ll admit in order to prove we’re not racists.
I care
If I don’t even care about Ebola in America, what does that make me?
News stories about Ebola have been cut in half, already. It sold a lot of papers and a lot of website hits, and a lot of advertising, but I’m thinking this manufactured ‘crisis’ has passed. Three dead, millions panicked. Lots of HazMat items sold.
Now...on to the next crisis!
Cynical, Much? Oh, You Betcha! :)
I betcha’ most black people in America don’t give a squat about Ebola in Africa. Are they racists too?
Are “African” Americans racist, too?
Card carryin’ racists at that.
You betcha.
Said the same thing regarding AIDS ....
Americans don’t care, huh? All the billions in aid sent, all the aid groups, all the missionaries.
We don’t care because we don’t want a rapidly fatal virus regarded as a bioweapon to be introduced into our country? These people are suicidal and they’re going to take us down with them.
bttt
Dear John,
Who made up the stories resulting the DDT ban, after they figured out it was saving MILLIONS in third world from death by malaria?
Who is depriving Africa from meaningful energy development out of fear of population growth?
Who is imposing eugenicist population control policies as a condition of foreign aid?
Yes, John....a bunch of racist liberals.
Ok Mr.CNN columnist, time to pony-up and prove you’re not a racist. Stop demanding it of everyone else.
There is but one way to prove your worth..fly over there, contract the disease, and only then you’ll be down for the struggle.
The most recent article I could find on who is giving what to fight Ebola had America giving 750 million in comparison to China’s 38.6 million, India’s 500,000 dollars, the UK 40 million, France 1.2 million, Russia a research lab and personnel, Brazil 450,000 dollars.
I guess that proves just how racist we are!!
One has to wonder why those people can never handle their own challenges.
CNN’s MH370 coverage was delightful.
They gave Comedy Central a run for their money.

Most my black friends don’t want to vacation in Liberia right now so I guess their racists too.
Racism is the laziest argument there is.
No CNN...
Most Americans don’t care about Ebola in Africa because:
a) Africa is 3000+ miles away; and
b) Africa is Africa’s problem; and
c) Most Americans are completely ignorant of the threat posed by a BL-4 outbreak; and
d) Most Americans are too busy trying to earn a living and raise their children in a crappy economy and a stagnant job market brought to us by the same people trying to kill us all for their own political power to give a damn about anything beyond their own daily concerns; and lastly
e) Most Americans know that no matter what they think/want, the dickheads that run our goobermint don’t give a damn.
OK... there MAY be a few racists too. Satisfied?
