Says something about Mr. (I refuse to sully the name of "Reverend" by associating it with him) Jackson when he thinks that "refugee" equals "subhuman" or "criminal". Does he seriously think that all "refugees" in Africa are subhuman?
He's calculating.
Well said Suzie!
Perhaps some may come to the realization that self determination is a much faster route to prominence than the direction given by a bureaucracy.
Great point!
Jesse, you need to get a full time job so you can make those child support payments on your love child.
> Have these people asked these FOOLS to speak for them?
When the only tool in your toolbox is a hammer (J Jackson), then every problem has the appearance of needing a nail (the race card).
Does he even think?
Don't worry Jesse. More white folks than black folks will decamp, never to come back. When the jobs go, folks go. That is the American way.
"People of all races were displaced because of Katrina. This man gets more idiotic every day."
People of all races and genders have been displaced since the beginning of mankind. Life, it happens. Jackson should know this since he's had his own life altering mishaps(illegitmate children) while he's a married man.
J. Jackson exposes more of his ignorance. He needs to put up(his own shelter(s)) or shut up and stop being a hindrance to survivors. If Jackson thinks it's so easy to rescue, feed and shelter 200,000 to 500,000 people inside one week let the fool try. Oh yeah, he knows better.
Only if one doesn't consider "extortionist" a job.
Note to Je$$E, when I see you pledge 20% of your networth to help the REFUGEES then I'll listen OTW stay in Chicago you carpetbagger....
Translation: "Make sure they are put back in the ghetto where they belong!"
Dear Rev. Jackson,
I was "acculturated" in Los Angeles. And currently reside in Jacksonville. I have done fine. These people will do fine, but then you being a liberal don't think these folks can think on thier own without you telling them what to think. So my suggestion to you is go back to Chicago where you were "acculturated." and SHUT UP!
Gee, I wonder how that happened? Perhaps the same way terrorists from all over the Middle East are referred to as Iraqi "insurgents" as if they are natives?
By all means, let's cater to ignorance...
Actually, I replied before post #72 showed up. The posts were flying ("fast and furious").
By the way, since you responded to my "rudeness" rather than my advice, you'll probably continue to make similar mistakes.
I learned, several decades ago, to respond to the substance of criticism, rather than my perception of its tone. Some people never learn.
Refugees can seek relief in their own country if they are being persecuted or if there is a civil war or other unrest.
Jesse claimed that the term is "racist" and that it implies they are "criminals" or "subhuman". He's a bigot based on his perceptions of what a refugee is.
These same leftists are also saying (not implying) that the government deliberately withheld aid and rescue efforts becuase (A)they were predominately poor, (B) they were predominately black, and (C) they predominately voted for Kerry.
They ignore the skin color of the mayor who now sits in office figuring out what to do with flooded buses that could have been used to evacuate people.
Landrieu will have a hard time winning the next election if her base is moved out. She only won by 40,000 votes.
Oh shut up and get off your high horse idiot.
Yes they have, however never in a political atmosphere as we have to contemplate today.
