Where did I say anything about race? Don't you DARE start that crap with me. I believe the word I used was "people".
I made no reference to color, so do not denigrate me with your perception of racism.
I have known all sorts of people, good and bad, hard-working and lazy, honest and shiftless, decent and a$$holes. Guess what? They come in all sizes, shapes, and colors.
My comment was about the 'institutionalized' poor, and that is hardly limited to black people, or the people on that overpass--up here, they are mostly white.
I have made the repeated observation that the people being shown, in the Superdome, on the highway, are almost universally black, as are the looters. Did you not observe that fact? Should we be forced to ignore it because we must be color blind? I don't buy into that farce.
Those were the people we both were talking about was it not - the folks who were stranded in NOLO? You were not talking about the white poor people "up here" were you?
Further the original post made that observation that the looters were black. I added that the people stranded in NOLO generally were black. Do you see something different?
