It's because it's been pounded into their heads for years by scheming Black leaders and do-gooder liberals trying to expunge guilt for a crime they never commited. Some break away and become successful like Powell, Condi, Cosby and many, many others. Even that rapper on NBC knows how to break out only thing he uses his position to dominate rather than liberate.
The biggest fear that guys like JJ, the Black Caucus and Sharpton have is the day Blacks finally break free and don't need them anymore. These guys talk about equality but the only way they can remain in power is to convince that Black people that they are not.

Months from now when all is settled down some, people will realize that this was just a tremendously different and awful event. The Federal government has done well, if there is a complaint about government, it's with the mayor and that incompetent governor. You must be a seasoned political junkie with years of political experience.
Or an "ankle biter"....

" They keep it up and there will be a huge backlash. " ... yup...
You got that right.
and the 2006 election is just around the corner.
If there is anyone to blame, blame the incompetent Mayor of NEW ORLEANS, and Governor of the State of Louisiana.
( by the way ? who's order, or brainy idea it was to build those electric generators for one of the hospitals under ground in NEW ORLEANS ?,,,, surely it was not President Bush's fault ).
They dragged their feet ( both of them ) and it took the President of the USA to get their butts into action to declare a state of emergency to evacuate those people BEFORE the hurricane hit ( which is something lost in this BLAME GAME of blaming President Bush, the Republicans, and white people ).
And the BIG excuse we are hearing " well, we are poor, and we could not evacuate " is just BS , if you can walk, GET OUT OF THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS.
If you are able body, and can walk, what was stopping you to walk at least to the outskirts of the city were buses or some kind of transportation would have been ?
Also ? those people who had means to get out, i.e. cars. trucks, buses, cabs, trains, but ? WHO CHOSE TO STAY AND either: i.e. to have a HURRICANE PARTY, or ? TO WAIT IT OUT , or ? TO .. WAIT TO LOOT , do not have no excuse, they ignored the warnings to GET OUT OF DODGE.

Since I don't know what an "ankle biter" is, I'll take the first choice.
BTW, I was handing out "I Like Ike" buttons in 1952.

The second difference was noted by AFP/Getty photographer Chris Graythen - who took the photo of the white couple - in Jim Romenesko's online column at the Poynter Institute Web siteIt's laughable...if the guy was part of the Poynter Institute...he's a lib. So the Black Caucus is even upset at what the liberals are saying? I heard the guy on BOR say that he was upset because they're calling them "refugees" to which Bill noted they're calling black and white people refugees.
Truth is NO is something like 68 percent black.
Black people are being rescued by the hordes, but at the same time, the ones that are having to wait long times are blacks.
I hardly see any whites in the pictures coming out of NO...that's just a logistical fact due to demographics of the city.
But the American people aren't stupid, and they see white person after white person, helping these people, and it destroys the myth that there is "racial bias"...pictures and actions speak louder than words. (BTW anybody see any members of the Black Caucus down there wading through the water to hand out an MRE or at a Red Cross Shelter...heck no.)

" Looters are victims in the world of the Black Caucus. " ....
Correction : in reflection to Elijah Cummings words today about the DRUG addicts, and thugs.
Drug addicts, thugs, rapist, looters, are victims in the world of the Black Caucus "
To: Cincinatus' Wife
But
but
the Black Congressmen are huddled because they really care about the abused African/Americans! President Bush hugs because hes a politician. < / extreme barfing sarcasm>

Black Democrats in Congress and civil rights leaders yesterday accused the Bush administration of incompetence and a lack of compassion for blacks in response to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.They should be sent to bed without supper for their potty mouths.

" Democrats are the last bunch you want in control in an emergency. " .......
Correction :
Democrats are the last bunch or should NEVER be allowed to govern this country, or should NEVER be allowed to be in control in an emergency.
One thing that this hurricane has caused in this country is that it has caused a lot of discussion that needed to be done, and has caused a lot of discussion that needed to be said and said with being brutally honest.

But the American people aren't stupid, and they see white person after white person, helping these people, and it destroys the myth that there is "racial bias"...Thus the perpetual change of "talking points" when it comes to liberal politicians.

Cummings is bad news. He is in bed with the enemies of America. He lacks understanding of Constitutional responsibilities - fails repeatedly to recognize that states are primarily responsible as first responders, and BEFORE federal help should even be requested. He provokes racial hostility toward the white community and against the administration. He charges whites with racism but overlooks that the looting was done by one racial group, that the shooting at ambulances and fire-trucks was done by one racial group. Mr. Cummings should get the facts before he speaks.

Yeah. I see they've rolled up their sleeves and are out helping victims. What a bunch of phonies. They don't want to catch an earfull. They hide in Washington.

Rep. Cummings and his ilk will continue and help sink the Democratic Party.
To: Cincinatus' Wife
As RUSH said on his program , how come the Democrats were able to bus all of these people to the voting both last year ? but, were not able to bus these people out well before the hurricane ?
To: Cincinatus' Wife
Government Saw Flood Risk but Not Levee FailureFrom that article:
In a city with so many residents living in poverty, the hurricane came at the worst possible time: the end of the month, when those depending on public assistance are waiting for their next checks to be mailed on the first of the month. Without the checks, many residents didn't have money for gasoline, bus fare or lodging.
It seems that if only the hurricane had come a week later there wouldn't be any need for all this name calling.

And at the determent and danger of their own people, their lust for power will cause many to die in this tragedy.
To: Cincinatus' Wife
Normal Demoncrat/Communist party line ala Pravda. Keep the blacks in the ghetto, they say secretly, so we'll still have a constituency. Keep them on the Federal dole and make them completely dependent on the Federal Government until they say, "Mine eyes look unto Wahington, from whence cometh my help!".
Then, if anything goes wrong, blame the Republicans. Or big oil. Or pharaceuticals. Propaganda is holding the day.

Democrats only care about blacks when it's time to vote.
