VANITY: Levees deliberately opened to kill black people
MSNBC | 9-5-05 | self

Posted on 09/05/2005 7:38:59 AM PDT by staytrue

Former presidents, Bush and Clinton gave a news conference today. Towards the end, as Bush and Clinton were walking off the stage, at about 10:20 am EST, I heard a female reporter shout a last question that went "how do you respond to rumors that the levees were intentionally opened ?"

The levees were intentionally opened in 1965 when Hurricane Betsy hit, flooding the poor areas. Gee I don't seem to recall LBJ taking any heat for it.

"ANYONE who wants to stay in school and learn can do so."

Not everyone who wants to learn is able to learn. Remember, half the population has an IQ of less than 100 and many have an IQ considerably lower than 100. I have an IQ well over 100 and have both a college degree and a masters degree, and yet, I find some facets of modern life rather difficult at times. It must be really tough for a substantial percentage of our population to deal with things like computers and government red tape.

Still, we need to make it possible for people of all ability levels to earn an honest living and thus maintain their human dignity. Just giving people welfare may be easier and cheaper than finding real jobs for some of these folks, but it will lead to many other problems, such as we are witnessing now.

That may be my favorite Freep graphic of all time, and I've been around a while. The look on that guy's face says more about liberals and liberalism than all the posts ever written combined. You gotta love it. Anyone know who first posted that picture?

You forgot that the CIA started the crack epidemic in order to kill blacks in the inner cities. Just ask Maxine Waters about that one.

Or the rumor that Margaret Sanger started Planned Parenthood with the idea of reducing the numbers of black babies being born.

Oh wait. That one is true. Nevermind.

"Mr. Bush/Mr. Clinton, how is the federal government going to compensate the New Orleans politicians, police officers, and city employees who are devestated, simply devestated, by the loss of income from bribes, payoffs, kickbacks, skims,phantom employees/vendors and multiple checks from local government?"

Here's a quick like to just one mention of breaching (or notching) the levees.

http://www.nola.com/newslogs/breakingtp/index.ssf?/mtlogs/nola_Times-Picayune/archives/2005_09.html

n St. Bernard Parish, water was being drained through breaches in the levee. In Plaquemines Parish, the Corps was “notching” levees with gaps up to 100-feet wide so that water could flow back into the gulf. The notches will be plugged with rocks after the area is drained.

"There was a black academic who stated that sharks to this day follow the routes of the slave ships because so many dead Africans were thrown overboard. Supposedly, they remember and are waiting for more"

That was a Congressman, name escapes me at the moment, not an academic.

I consider both to be of about the same low mentality.

Don't forget the drugs from the CIA into black neighborhoods.

I haven't heard this for quite some time. I'm glad this focus is still alive.

It is for me, NYDave. I don't know about anyone else. This is also where the ghost of Vince Foster can haunt and sink Hitlary! He laundered a lot of that drug money.

I think I know where you're headed, but the only "Mena" book I have is unreadable, and *I'm* not going to put words in your mouth. Why don't you just spell it out for them?

It was live on national television. I saw it on Fox News. I doubt if there are many blacks on this forum who believe this sort of thing. The point of this thread is to find out who said it and have her ostracized.

My guess is that Bush politely told him to shut-up and sit down the adults were taking over.

"Clinton beat Bush in '92"

Clinton won the election in '92, but he did not "beat" Bush. Perot did that.

Begging the question of why she's still alive. She knows too much.

(Okay, let's savor the humor inherent in the thought of Maxine Waters knowing anything, let alone too much...)

:-D )))
