When will they learn that this is only going to turn
more whites into being racist.

I grew up in Memphis, and now the city is turning into
a cesspool of corruption and crime as the controlling
local government has become all black.

The black people are NEVER satisfied..It is "Give me more and more and more"

Sorry for my rant. I do have some great black friends in rural areas, but I look at JJ, and the blacks in congress, and I just want to puke.

I wish more honest, hardworking Black-Americans would join you in unmasking the democrat lies.

As do I.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

You nailed it - the race baiters are deathly afraid that these people will learn that whites are not the racists they have been trained to believe.

[Chode]

i've heard of looking a gift horse in the mouth... but NOT DISSECTING IT!!!

	"But Reverend Enoch Fuzz says in times like this, the volunteer corps should be more diverse, “Who in Brentwood would know where a black beauty shop or barber shop is?” asks Fuzz. " Well a black Red Cross worker from Seattle wouldn't know either. For crying out loud where on earth do these people come up with this tripe. Last I heard these people were claiming that this was blown due to Michael Brown's lack of competency. Are they saying that if FEMA was staffed with blacks or if the stranded citizens were white that Brown would have suddenly been competent?

"My white brother received a whopping $130 from the Red Cross (he is a New Orleans evacuee)...I know there's racism in here somewhere, right? "

How much did your black brother get? :)

[Anvilhead]

The media loves to do this to folks. They report a few jackass' opinions and treat as gospel. This is no different then seeing one white guy with a KKK tattoo on his arm and assuming that, should all whites roll up their sleeves, every white would have a similar marking.

"Please don't fall into the trap that many people on FR have fallen into -- insisting that "all" blacks feel the same way, further dividing us."

I've seen more than a bit of that here, too. And here I am thinking that conservatives are supposed to be the ones with the individualistic ideology.

Funny how insidious that group think/mob mentality is.

[SE Mom]

Oh geeeesh...you don't think we white folks watch soap operas?

There are two groups of idiots in this game- one is the group of leftist black "leaders" who continually try to drag other black Americans to their pitiful way of hate-filled thinking. The other is the group of ignorant white people who are unable to think an original thought and so assume what's true for one black person is true for all.

[satchmodog9]

Just like the idiotic contention of the supposed all black Army. A volunteer organization is a volunteer organization.

[RFEngineer]

"White folks cant do anything right anymore."

I dunno.....seems to be working well enough for the black folks receiving aid.

They should ask themselves, who would approve more aid to each applicant? A white person who probably can be made to feel guilty about something (and thereby give a quick approval), or a black person who, through their more in-depth understanding of the community, might put their sob-stories under a little more scrutiny?

I guess they'd still have the "Uncle Tom" card to play if a black volunteer didn't give them what they deemed their "fair share" of aid.

[Tempest]

Yep there's nothing worse than recieving help from one those dirty Samaritans....


This is just sad.

[netmilsmom]

Thanks for the Ping, my FRiend!

These Yahoos who think they speak for the "Black Community" should be at one of my family's events!

My goodness, Black cousins playing with white cousins?!? Who'da thunk it.

(and if my hubby's family is there, we mix in the Korean/American boys and it's a party!)

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

I question why so many Black leaders are racist and hate Whites?

While surfing this AM, came across MSNBC and one JJ. He was the personification of hate, the man looked positively evil as he spewed forth a litany of false and unfounded accusations against Whites.

[Tempest]

When did the Red Cross say that? Do you have a source or link for such an absurd statement?

[Texas Eagle]

...the volunteers are predominately white...

End of discussion.

[SaveTheChief]

Some members of the African-American community say that’s not good enough."

Ah... the battle cry of the entitlement class.

[freema]

I find it interesting, from where I sit, that the last two lines of this article are virtually ignored"

"A number of black churches are helping evacuees on their own even though it isn't through the Red Cross.

Also they are assembling teams of 50 take turns volunteering at the Red Cross shelters."

I am going take a step backward to pass on another lil' story from my Floyd experience. Our high school was a designated shelter, had 300 folks (majority black), the community had it under control. Red Cross showed up, wanted to assume control, it didn't happen. Some strong white and black members of our community held the line and took care of our own, while others in the community organized relief (clothes, food, etc).

We didn't have a lot of 'local' Red Cross personnel. They didn't know our 'community'. It has been my experience that the 'community' itself put forth an outstanding effort of taking care of it's own, with assistance from the Red Cross. Not visa versa. While I don't like the racial overtones to this article, taken in it's entirety, it actually sounds like the community folks ARE stepping up to the plate and I extend my hearty best wishes to them to continue in a spirit of brotherhood. They have a long road ahead and will need all the support that can be mustered to, in turn, support the floodees, hurricanees, refugees, survivors-

because while the emotional toll on survivors is incredible, the emotional toll on the supporting community is enormous and long lasting.

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

Perhaps JJ, Al, Queasy and Calypso Louie could pretend disasters were just another election day and buss the Blacks down to help out. And from chubby Mary of the nervous tic, we know she can find 200 buses in just 14 hours to buss thousands of Blacks to the pols. So, there can be no excuses for Blacks not showing up to volunteer for helping victims.

It should come as no surprise that the racist Reverend Enoch Fuzz has a leadership position in the Tennessee NAACP:

They've convinced me.
