Farrakhan on New Orleans: The white man did it
Jewish World Review ^ | 9/22/05 | Larry Elder

Posted on 09/22/2005 4:49:13 PM PDT by Crackingham

Now we know what caused New Orleans to flood. And it was not Hurricane Katrina.

Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan said, "I heard from a reliable source who saw a 25-foot-deep crater under the levee breach. It may have been blown up to destroy the black part of town and keep the white part dry."

Only wing-nuts would buy into such a conspiracy theory, right?

Washington Post reporter Eugene Robinson said on NBC's "Meet the Press," "I was stunned in New Orleans at how many black New Orleanians would tell me with real conviction that somehow the levee breaks had been engineered in order to save the French Quarter and the Garden District at the expense of the Lower Ninth Ward, which is almost all black. . . . These are not wild-eyed people. These are reasonable, sober people who really believe that."

Someone on this list probably has the knowledge of how much explosive it would take to make a 25' hole in the ground. Also, how far away would the sound of the explosion be heard.

No one in the MSM has challenged the "stuck on stupid" Farahan about this ludicrous statement.

Do you remember Eddie Murphys "Kill my landlord" prison poetry?

Here it is.

Kill My landlord


Watch dog bark on a hot summer night,
kill my landlord, kill my landlord,
watch dog bark, though he bite,
kill my landlord, kill my landlord,
slip in his window, break his neck,
then his house I start to wreck,
got no reason, what the heck!
kill my landlord, kill my landlord,
C-I-L-L my landlord.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau: Of all the homes in NO with children under 18 years, 50% are occupied by a single mother without the children's father present in the household. Given the very high percentage of blacks in NO, compared to white, etc., it's obvious that most of the fatherless children are black children. Whose fault is that? The Army Corp of Engineers? The Coast Guard? FEMA? The Demo Rat Party? Senator Mary Landrieu? Mayor Nagin? Governor Blanco? Just maybe, the problem is with the black parents.

Without regard to race, there will always be a certain percentage of our population who will believe the boldest of balderdash.

And they'll also ignore the fact that the "original," 300-year old sections of New Orleans went through things pretty much fine. The parts that were hammered were the parts that were swamps "back in the day."

And just think...a gazillion federal dollars are going to rebuild New Orleans. Wonder how much of that will end up in liberal pockets. Just like it has been for the past 60 years.

I remember sitting in front of a B/W TV in 1975 at a friends house in Champaign, Ill. saying: "This is different..."

"Reasonable? Sober?"

I find that hard to believe.

Yeah, it was quite mischievous the way Eugene Robinson was allowed to make that statement on MTP - all the more annoying because Timmy Russert refused to challenge him on it to identify one of these so-called 'sober and reasonable' people. The whole discussion was just another cog in the media's incessant desire to inflame a racism that doesn't exist.

This is really sad to me. After years of being fed the idea that Republicans hate them and are racists of course they are going to believe this nonsense. They hear this crap from the media constantly, and all of the democrat politicians play the race card. The leaders are the ones who make me angry. How dare they make these people live in fear!

"You know, with all the engineering talent we have in this country, if whitey had wanted the black folks dead, they'd be dead."


You've got that right. One hundred percent right!

Ludicrous indeed. Do they not understand any basic physics? That water will seek that portion of ground closest to the center of the earth?

To believe this idiocy is to believe that the conspiracy started with convincing black people to live in the lower elevation parts of town... now THAT had to take a LONG time.

ALSO, as muddy as that water was I would suggest that NO ONE could see the bottom, much less a hole and even much less be able to determine that a 25' hole existed BELOW the level of the lakebed.

As Boortz says, this is what we get from our government run schools... people with no ability to reason.

If I remember correctly, Nawlins blacks polled on Louie's assertion that the levee(s) were bombed to flood black areas, bought his line to the tune of 75%.
