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.

Next on his list is to send a sympathy card to the victims of ISIS telling them global warming is the biggest threat the world faces.

The Ceausescu Protocol is rather messy.

And undignified. Followed burial in an unmarked grace. Perfect.

"“These images exposed significant inequalities in access to emergency response and recovery efforts,” said the guidance."

B.S. This is such a steaming pantload, and shows the vile depths to which the Obamanation will go to smear emergency services and LEOs, military etc.

The rescue efforts after Katrina were incredible and people were plucked off rooftops just as rapidly and steadily as feasible. I know of ZERO evidence that there was discrimination in who was rescued when, and it has been shown that, statistically, whites were very heavily impacted by Katrina, too. This whole "racism and discrimination" theme about Katrina is total liberal BULLSHIT. They just lie and lie and keep repeating their lies, year after year.

Your property gone? Not a problem.

Your children died? What’s the issue.

BUT IF YOU DO ANYTHING TO ANNOY THE PROTECTED BLACK CLASS, WE ARE ALL OVER IT.

Look at El Gringo’s song on Youtube:
“Louisiana Will Survive”

A shot of a sign stating:
