President Obama has refused so far to survey the Louisiana flood disaster, but he did let state and local officials know that he’s watching to make sure they don’t engage in racial discrimination.

In a 16-page guidance issued Tuesday, the Obama administration, led by the Justice Department, warned Louisiana recipients of federal disaster assistance against engaging in “unlawful discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin (including limited English proficiency).”

The guidance’s frameworks “highlight the importance of complying with nondiscrimination requirements of civil rights statutes, addressing the needs of the whole community, and ensuring equal opportunity to access recovery efforts.”

Needless to say, some Louisiana residents were offended, including the American Conservative’s Rod Dreher, who took umbrage at receiving an anti-discrimination lecture from Washington, D.C., as locals struggle to rescue, house and feed their neighbors.

Remember folks most of those flooded are white folk, not from New Orleans, so Obama has to put them in their proper place so they can share with their wealth (what’s left of it) with the looters who come visiting.

The Obamas are long overdue for an application of the Ceausescu Protocol.

This from the President who has yet to go down to Louisiana to see the damage first hand, let alone to actually lend a hand. Now, who is doing both today? I think it is Trump.

Okay. I looked around, mostly white folks are affected so it is okay to ignore them because they rich and privileged.

The Ceausescu Protocol is rather messy. I was thinking more along the lines of Julius Streicher Therapy.

Don’t know. The pastor and family from our denomination are black middle class. They lost everything. There are black people, just not looters and BlM types.

“You’re about to be ruled by a black man.”

Like they say: "The slave dreams not of freedom, but of being the master."

I’m really unfamiliar with the area but maybe not so much white as middle class which is about as bad as white.
