We don't have to go that far. We have plenty of Al Sharpton wanna-bes right here on FR.
I'm sure the crew in the above ping list will be more than happy to label everyone in Australia "racist," along with the posters on this thread, everyone else in the entire world who owns a TV set, and the writer of the headline "Rape threat to our women." "They're 'racial bigots," they're all racists, they're all conspiring against me." Especially the Freeper who posted #16:

"If white women were being targeted for rape by black thugs I would say the onus of racism is not on the Aussies but on the black would-be rapists - or is that racist to admit?"Apparently the Aussie tourists don't agree with our own FR Jesse Jacksons' theory of "one bad apple":
"That was the worst place in the universe. Ninety-eight per cent of the people around the world are good. In that place, 98 per cent of the people were bad."
In that place, 98 percent of the people were liberal Democrats. That's all you need to know.
It's all getting out of hand imho, this discussion on FR. I am removing myself completely from any further discussion on this on FR. Actually ALL Hurricane Katrina threads unless it pertains to an affected FReepers. Thanks.
nah - I'd call the Aussie tourists scared and scarred.
you, on the other hand, do seem to have a racial axe to grind.
I don't really know what the hell you're talking about but okay. Since I'm on the crew on your ping list as branding someone as a racist, I only have one thing to say. Comprende sarcasm amigo?
Ooooooh, I'm on "maximillian"'s ping list! Funny, I even went to the original thread from which he must have harvested my name, and he had at least one post removed, so you can only piece together his intellectually-stunted observations of a city he has obviously never visited, and has no understanding of, with a bit of awe and a very large grain of salt.
And when he comes back with his refutations that he's been to NOLA "many times," he's lying. And/or prone to exaggeration as much as the Aussie tourists he's so willing to hang his entire perspective on. Nice try, bud.

We could do without the David Duke/Senator Byrd types.
