Neil Boortz had the best response I've read so far to Mr. Robinson:
Robinson is angry about the delayed response to the tragic situation in New Orleans. We all are, but Robinson goes too far. He calls America a "monstrous fraud." Even though I might be able to understand his anguish, his outrageous comments cannot go unanswered.
Robinson begins his screed with the totally unsupported charge that there are reports that black hurricane victims have turned to cannibalism to survive. I would like to take a moment to respond.
OK, Mr. Robinson, What's your source? Do you even have a credible source for your cannibalism charge? Maybe, Mr. Robinson, you begin your Huffington posting with that inflammatory line just to get attention. After all, if we were to challenge your assertion it would certainly expose us as racists, wouldn't it?
You say that you're angry at your country for doing nothing when it mattered. Nothing? Just what country, Mr. Robinson, were those helicopters and rescue swimmers from that I saw on Tuesday morning plucking victims – black victims – from rooftops? Did those helicopters make a supersonic flight across the Atlantic from the African continent to assist in the rescue effort?
For the past three nights my family, my wife and daughter, have been working Red Cross and Salvation Army telephone banks, Mr. Robinson. They were taking donations from Americans to help the victims of Katrina. My wife would have to beg volunteers to go home because there were only so many telephones, and there were more volunteers lined up outside that wanted to help. Did you see any of this, Mr. Robinson? I rather doubt it. You were too busy seething with hatred for America, Mr. Robinson, to have learned of this particular phone bank, and of the tens of thousands of like-minded Americans who were lining up across America looking for a way to help. Since you are so seething with race-based animosity, Mr. Robinson, let me share something else with you. Every single time I walked into that phone room; every single time I saw those volunteers on the phones on television; every single time, Mr. Robinson, the vast majority of those volunteers were white. This phone bank, Mr. Robinson, was deep in the heart of a majority-black city, and the bulk of the volunteers were white. These are the Americans who you said were "doing nothing when it mattered."
You wrote that thousands of blacks in New Orleans were dying like dogs, and that no one has come to help them. No one, Mr. Robinson? Nobody at all?
Pretty hideous country, isn't it Mr. Robinson. Millions of dollars collected in this one phone room in Atlanta in 60 hours ... and we're doing nothing at all. Now you have finally come to see America as a "monstrous fraud."
Let's talk a bit more about coming to help those in desperate straights, Mr. Robinson. Helicopters show up at New Orleans hospitals to evacuate patients, and they're fired on by black predators in the streets. People show up to help, and blacks try to murder them. They you have the outrageous audacity to claim that America is doing nothing, that nobody is coming to help.
Friday afternoon we heard that blacks showed up outside the BellSouth building in St. Bernard's Parish. Inside that building were BellSouth employees who had been trapped there by the water. Black employees, white employees, who wanted nothing more than to get out. Did the blacks you're so concerned about show up to help rescue the BellSouth workers? No .. they showed up to loot. They showed up to kill. They started firing on the BellSouth building, and on the law enforcement personnel who showed up to help. There is word that one police officer or national guardsman was killed, Mr. Robinson. Are you going to write that they were doing nothing when they met their death?
Would you care to address the rapes in the Super Dome and the New Orleans convention center, Mr. Robinson? Black predators roamed these places looking for rape victims. Petrified tourists were beaten
* Helicopters on rescue missions – fired on by blacks.
* Doctors and nurses in stranded hospitals moving patients to higher and higher floors, as black looters invade the floors below.
* A cry for help from a children's hospital on Tuesday night, as black looters try to break in from the streets.
* Police officers making rooftop rescue efforts, fired on by roving gangs of armed blacks.
Then along comes Randall Robinson to tell the world that blacks are having to eat corpses in New Orleans because no one has come to help them.
Tell you what, Mr. Robinson. I would like for you to give some heartfelt consideration to a request – a suggestion I would like to make. Ready? Please take this in the spirit in which it is offered. I, and I daresay many others, would like for you to sit down and shut the hell up. You're a fool, Mr. Robinson. A race pimp. A race warlord. Right not you are not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. You're words gave great comfort, I'm sure, to those who's response to this tragedy was to pillage and rape. After all, what more does a monstrous fraud deserve? Right, Mr. Robinson?
Excellent work by Boortz.
Boortz is on fire!!!!! When he's on his game, nobody is better.
Please go post this comment on Huffington's Blog!
"I, and I daresay many others, would like for you to sit down and shut the hell up. You're a fool, Mr. Robinson. A race pimp."
The beginning of the end for these race pimps and whores was indicated to me when that black, famale, Clinton era appointee (her name escapes me)went to speak at a largely white high school. She basically went into the time tested "you're all racists" rant---AND THE KIDS STARTED HOOTONG HER DOWN AND WALKING OUT!
For years I have been wondering WHEN enough will finally be ENOUGH.
Great post U.V. It's about time these things were said openly. Of course the MSM will bury this and anything like it. I've been tuning into CNN occasionally this a.m. and the anti-Bush propaganda campaign is in full force.
I'm beginning to wonder that if maybe in the long run if this isn't the best thing to ever happen to Louisiana. IF THESE PEOPLE NEVER COME BACK, the criminals for sure, AND the poor hopefully can go to a better place where there is a better work ethic, rebuild their lives, get a better education than what NO had to offer, get jobs and prosper
