Predators {Human or Animal] follow their prey. If the Prey migrates, Predators follow. If the Prey stays, so do the Predators.
The "New Orleans Poor" didn't Vacate, before the Storm. Those, that had preyed upon the "Poor of New Orleans, stayed, TOO. The Ratio of "Good Folks to Predators changed. The Result: Chaos in the Big Easy.
If New Orleans is Emptied, those Predators will follow their Prey.
Those, that preyed upon the Poor from Mexico {in Mexico}, follow their Prey across our Borders.
Not "All Illegals" are chasing a dream. Some are following their Prey.
Should We change the Rules, to make "hunting Predators" EASIER?
This slate article is race baiting... there are people that want to make this about the issues that will gain them political capitol.
I truely find that disgusting.
But we will see more of it i am sure....
There is no race issue here... there reason there are so many blacks that are stuck in NO is becuase the compromise 67% by the articles # of the population. So by the laws of avereages there will be more of them then any other race...
The only once that have an issue with race in this is those that are bringing it up like this slate articles author and doing for nothing more than trying to gain political capitol.
STFU, Schafer.
True enough. Thank decades of failed liberal policies to cement this.
There's athread running with Wolf Blitzer's racial remark.
Hispanic is not a race.
Well, the MSM has been very adept of being color blind as to the punk perps race.
All of us armchair generals need to get our selves down there and help. It would be far better to have a vast surplus of help, as we were blessed with on 9/11, then a horrible vacuum such as is being reported.
I am leaving now from Danbury Connecticut to go down and find one person who I can bring back and help restart their life. Woe to us when we get hit and are stranded.
It would be had been nice if all the tax money that we have given had provided an organized response system. but it hasn’t and so I’ll go down south as far as I can and pluck just one person from this hell myself.
Good-bye.
All I know is Whitey is going to be blamed...
The facts are evident to all who see the video. Why should broadcasters step onto thin PC ice when the facts are self evident?
What condescending ignorance.
"Say, Bob, why are these African-Americans so poor to begin with?"
Because they were to lazy to take advantage of the FREE EDUCATION we taxpayers provided them.
I've been calling N.O. the plantation of the south...the dems politics--welfare--nanny state has not allowed these folks to pull their selves to the level they easily could...it's the left and the dems that have created this situation...probably most of them are on welfare...it's so sad. SHAME ON THEM...the white rats have done this to these people.
The black guy commented, rather enigmatically, or maybe not, that he figured, "If I can move around, why shouldn't he be able to move around." The gist seemed to be that the white guy would have been at the mercy of a black mob, if not for this true "Good Samaritan."
Wolf Blitzer said today the victims "are so black"
ABC Dateline went there. They went everywhere in order to lay blame on the Administration..
Out of all the thousands of faces I've seen in the TV Coverage of this, all but about SIX have been black.
THere are many factors which figure into this, and I am sure PLENTY of blacks made it out along with the great majority of whites. If it illustrates anything, and it must be news to some who've never been in NOLA, it is that there is a HUGE black population in New Orleans that is VERY poor, barely mobile, has minimal "wherewithal" to do much of anything beyond their usual daily routine, and that, indeed, justifiably feels abandoned by a power structure that could have EASILY foreseen their special circumstances and pre-empted SOME small part of this tragedy from taking place. It's politics as usual, and it manifested itself very nakedly this time. Perhaps this will be enough to raise the consciousness of this population, but what they need is direction, and a leader or leadership group OUTSIDE of the usual opportunist-network of Jackson and Sharpton. WHOEVER fumbled the ball politically in allowing this tsunami to happen IN THE FIRST PLACE, their heads should roll, from Local to Federal.
Well, maybe the broadcasters realized what this whiny journalist didn't: that the film clips from their reporters in the field weren't necessarily giving a representative picture of who was affected by storm.
Reporters typically get to town, check into the luxury hotels, and start filming whoever is close by. In New Orleans that probably means the people around the Superdome. All the people who fled or live in farther out areas are harder to interview. Likewise, as intrusive as the press can be, they arent going to go into the hospitals and interview the sick people who dont have food and water. No one knows the racial composition of people stuck in attics, or unable to leave buildings because of thugs, or working round the clock to deliver services.
Shafer is quite the hypocrite not to mention that there are very hard hit areas that dont have the racial composition of New Orleans. Why is he mum on that subject? Biloxi and Gulfport are predominantly white, not black. Surely he should have something to say about this.
Race or class?
Heck, I've been wondering why half the people they show are about 5 feet wide.
It's been a bad few days for multiculturalism. Of course, the real reason no one is mentioning race is because the scenes from New Orleans look like they could have been filmed in Kinshasa on a bad day. It is political correctness and pro-black racism that drives media silence, just the opposite of what the professional liar who wrote this article is trying to push. This is in fact a standard propaganda line; its everyday version is the whiny "the news doesn't pay enough attention to black crime victims because they just don't care about blacks." No, the news doesn't pay attention to black crime victims because a constant parade of black crime on the TV screen might cause whites to rethink the value of multiculturalism, and that must be prevented at all costs. And I know you'll find this hard to believe, Jackie boy, but once upon a time New Orleans, like Detroit and Washington D.C., was a majority white city, but the policies and beliefs of white-hating left-wingers like yourself resulted in the de facto ethnic cleansing of whites from New Orleans (especially poor whites, I might remind you since you're so interested in class issues). In short, you drove the whites out, using the same sort of people who are now engaged in looting New Orleans as your stormtroopers, so they are no longer around to be pictured on TV to soothe your multiculti angst during this current disaster . Really, though, I admire you: it takes a lot of brass to chide the victims of your ethnic cleansing for not being around to suffer the effects of a later natural disaster.
You raise an intersting question, but I beleive that the MSM is NOT pushing this issue because 1 - the mayor is also black, and 2 - the Govenor is a woman, and ??3?? both are democrats.
If the mayor were a white male republican (and the govenor as well!) - I am quite sure the racial aspect of this would have been pointed out about 30 seconds after Katrina made landfall (if not earlier!!)
As it is, it seems the MSM is restricting it's primary focus for blame to the federal government.
I watched an interview yesterday between Miles ?? of CNN (onyl english news I get!) and the Govenor of Mississippi (or maybe a mayor...). Miles REALLY wanted the interviewee to blame the feds and was extremely reluctant to let the issue go, even when the interviewee clearly stated he would NOT criticize the feds as he thought the were performing well. Miles even went so far as to ponder why the NAvy had not pre-positioned its ships in the gulf (presumably directly on the coast) so that they could react quickly).
Predictable, but very sick.
