Most of the rescuers I saw were white. I doubt the majority of blacks feel the way the media are portraying.

[aft_lizard]

No, but for some people with slow connections or slow computers who have to wait for 5 minutes of MSNBC code to load it is.

No kidding. If I wanted to browse MSNBC for articles, I would be there, not here.

How'd the song go?

“We’re getting reports of how some religion-based ’aid’ groups are trying to fly evangelists into the stricken areas and how U.S. Army chaplains are carrying bibles -- not food or water -- to ’comfort’ people,” Ellen Johnson, president of American Atheist, said in a statement.

[WKB]

It's a redneck spelling of racial
when he's in a hurry and doesn't have spell check
handy. OK?
