uh, I think I was pretty clear that the looting of non-essentials was in NO WAY OK.

Further the honest poor do not get the goods stolen so how is that "reparations." The honest poor are harmed by the crimes of their fellow Blacks.

Generally the law abiding Black poor get it from all directions -- they get lumped with scummy looters of the same skin color, they get ignored by services like evacuation and police protection from rampant crime, and their neighborhoods get trashed by looters with whom their only common bond is race and poverty.

In the wake of looting/crime who opens stores in Black neighborhoods?

Maybe Jesse Jackson should have gone to Louisiana and tried to push for evacuation of Blacks instead of going to Venezuela to hug Chavez. Black leaders are half the problem.

Black leaders are half the problem.

We agree here.

And Al Sharpton instead of being in Crawford kissing up to Sheehad.
