If I hear that "it's not that bush doesn't care about black people, it's that he doesn't care about poor people" argument ONE MORE TIME, I am seriously gonna choke someone.
I think it's more like "he really doesnt care about poor people but he really really doesnt care about black people" hahahahahaha! wait, that's not funny :/
When I said it was being presented as a competition, I meant a competition between blacks vs poor, who does Bush REALLY hate or hate more. Especially when the two groups overlap so much.
girl, where you been? it's not even about black and white anymore. the only color that matters these days is green. duh, didn't you get the memo? classism trumps racism. don't leave out all those po' white folks suffering down in lousiana too!

no, he doesn't like poor folks either but to ignore the instrinsic role race plays in poverty is stupid and just plain WRONG. you cannot separate the two. even stevie wonder can see the two are connected. it is not a damn coincidence almost all the poor hurricane victims were black. poverty is racialized. people need to stop acting so brand new.

Giiiiirl, stop making my choke-a-fool spasms act up even more.
"is not a damn coincidence almost all the poor hurricane victims were black."
Well, you know, people are only poor because they lack initiative and are lazy so...
"poverty is racialized"
After you're done making the soul patrol tees, please put THAT on a shirt as well. Maybe if I walk around with it on a shirt folks will begin to have it sink into their thick skulls.
