Quit Your Damn Bitching Already
I am sick and damn tired of people always pulling the f****g race card out at every damned opportunity.
Case in point:
From the Washington Post:
‘To Me, It Just Seems Like Black People Are Marked
While hundreds of thousands of people have been dislocated by Hurricane Katrina, the images that have filled the television screens have been mainly of black Americans — grieving, suffering, in some cases looting and desperately trying to leave New Orleans. Along with the intimate tales of family drama and survival being played out Thursday, there was no escaping that race had become a subtext to the unfolding drama of the hurricane’s aftermath.
“To me,” said Bernadette Washington, “it just seems like black people are marked. We have so many troubles and problems.”
“After this,” her husband, Brian Thomas, said, “I want to move my family to California.”
He was holding his 2-year-old, Qadriyyah, in his left arm. On Thomas’s right hand was a crude bandage. He had pushed the hand through a bedroom window on the night of the hurricane to get to one of his children.
“He had meat hanging off his hand,” his wife said. They live — lived — on Bunker Hill Road in Orleans Parish, a mostly black section of New Orleans.
When the hurricane hit, Thomas, a truck driver, said he came home from work, looked at every one of the people he loves, and stood in the middle of the living room. Thinking. He’s the Socrates in the family — but time was running out.
Weren’t you listening to your damn “black” mayor when he told you people to get the hell out?
Quit making this situation a race thing damnit. It didn’t just happen to black people — it happened to a f****g whole damn city full of people, from all walks of life.
Get the hell over yourself and your color damn it — you were told to leave .. you didn’t — shut the F**K up!

The really, really sad part is if you read that article to the end, the guy they are interviewing admits that a “black national guard unit passed him by” but that WHITE passersby offered them food and money. They threw that out at the end, yet labeled the article to make it appear racist.

Thanks Jo, I don’t know what is about Black folks that is so moronic.As a Black person,and like many Americans observed this circus, you did this to your won damn self!Hell,you forgot that the mayor of your city is “Black” and that sixty percent of the populace is Black?Did it ever occur to you that maybe being soft on criminals is what has gotten in this mess?As a Black woman I’ve had it with this stupid excuses and statements you imbeciles make when you don’t prepare for a crisis.Blacks live in other parts of the gulf too you know and you didn’t here about any looting or othe types of mayhem going on in gulfport,or even in the other LA(Lower Alabama)Why is that?Also what good is going to be for you in California?high taxes,heavy regulations,gangs,and everything else you claim to be leaving louisiana for.Just on a bigger scale.why can’t you be like every other American when disasters hit and take charge and help with the rebuilding instead of bitching all the time!I’ve had it with your stupidity.

First, my prayers go out to ALL the people of the devastated area, BOTH black and white. Now for the bitch that all that is shown on TV is blacks looting, maybe that’s happened, maybe because the majority of people left there are black, my questions arise from a picture I seen of a black man (possibly looting) carrying a TV set, I want to know what the f**k he was going to do with a TV set with NO houses left and no damn electricity ??? Just for the record I’d ask the same question if I seen a white man doing the same stupid thing !!!
