I don't know anything about who posted what about David Duke, or what you consider "race baiting"- but people are entitled to their opinions of what has happened with Katrina. Just because people form opinions- does not make them bigots or racists or David Duke Lovers-( and he has even said a few things that make sense-everyone gets lucky sometimes).

For example-I have said before that I thought the riots in NO, after the hurricane, were race riots- and that is what I believe there were. That is based upon my experience being a social worker in inner city LA- and living thru the LA riots. That does NOT mean that I think all people of dark colors are looters. You may disagree me- you may think I am an idiot for thinking that- but it is just my opinion- equal to yours or anyone else's here. Everyone has one. Why would you allow some person's opinion of something cause you such dismay. If people you really love here have hurt your feelings - or called you a racist name or ranted on about your friends and relatives- then they are not such good friends afterall.

I don't mean to sound heartless and I learned this the hard way out there myself in FR world- it is a big world out there, there are lots of different agendas and this is an internet message board- and you are going to get your feelings hurt on occasion.

Much of what's being said these days is beyond mere opinion.

Ok then, were the riots in Lansing a couple of years back "race riots"? What about the ones in Seattle and in San Fransisco? Or is it only a race riot when the participants are mostly black rather then mostly white?

I am trying to get people to stop swallowing the race baiting kool-aid served up by the MSM. But sadly it seems some here are gulping it down and holding out their cups for more.
