Perhaps I need new glasses, or perhaps I suffer from color deficiency in my vision, but

when I watch the coverage of what is going on in New Orleans, I see many, many, many White people risking their lives to save Black people; I see many, many White people helping Black people - young and old - mobile and not so mobile; I see many, many White people showing genuine interest in the welfare of other humans who happen to be Black. Tell me, how can this be? How can it be that these White people are working so hard to help Black people when the MSM, ACLU, NAACP, etc., insist on telling all the peoples and countries of the world that we, United States American Whites, hate Black people - so much so that our President planned all these events so that Black people would die? Can anyone tell me how it is that people who supposedly hate Black people so much would go to such lengths to aid them? So far as I know, no White people have killed any Black people; no White people have beat old, wheel-chair ridden Black people to death, or raped little Black girls and cut their throats. Tell me, someone, where is all this hate that we White people supposedly have in our hearts for Black people? I have not seen it in this crisis. Is it really there or is it simply a seed of thought planted by the groups mentioned above and others like them? If that is the case, what can we do to rid our culture of these seeds?

I believe that this is another canard like the idea that only black and Hispanic people serve in combat units in Iraq. When it is all said and done, I am sure that the facts will show that the storm has disproportionately hit white residents. But people would not know that since we only see images of New Orleans and not those from Mississippi or Alabama.

Good point. NO has overshadowed almost EVERYTHING.
