Hey Hurricane Survivors: STOP BEING SO BLACK!
++ Last night, Wolf Blitzer basically said "if only they weren't so black".
++ Sploid (cousin of Wonkette) also pointed out "The obvious yet mostly unspoken fact of the Katrina disaster is that all but the poorest blacks escaped New Orleans before the storm."
++ An hour ago, the Congressional Black Caucus, Urban League & NAACP were on CNN addressing this.
[Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md), Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. (D-Ill)]
++ Washington Post's front page quotes, 'To Me, It Just Seems Like Black People Are Marked'
++ I'm not even going to address the "Looting-vs-finding" bullshit, as everyone else has beat that horse to death.
THIS WOULD NEVER BE HAPPENING IF HURRICANE KATRINA'S WORST VICTIMS WERE WHITE.
I am so fucking ashamed of my country right now.
