Poor, Bad Blacks of New Orleans....who got what they deserved

[AnnInLa]

If you do nothing else this week, go to these 2 articles and read them in their entirety, and disseminate them all over the state. I knew some of this info, but to see it put together like this was very "heavy." These are must-reads for every Louisiana citizen. IMHO

1. My own boilling anger and psychic dislocation

grew directly out of the widespread view of the people of New Orleans as "animals", and somewhat deserving of their fate. I've been gone nigh on twenty years, and I've never been so upset in my life, and I show no signs of improving.

I heard that everywhere I went in the first two weeks after, to the point that I almost had to stop going out in public.

I had a verbally violent confrontation with the former staff director of a U.S. Senator, who is a famous curmudgeon. My wife said she was frightened as I glowered back at him for very long pauses after every statement. She was afraid I was going to jump him, and I was very close. It's a credit to my upbringing he didn't end up a puddle seven stories down from the roof-top bar where this went on.

It's important for the ruling cabal that the black population of New Orleans be portrayed as undeserving of any help, so they can remain sccattered in public housing across the country.

Chalk up another state into the solidly Red column.

The words ethnic cleansing come to my lips over and over again.

What's worse, I genuinly believe that the move to bring in large numbers of illegal aliens to do recovery work is politically (and not just economically) deliberate. They hope to pit the poorest African-Americans agains the poorest and most downtrodden Latin's (rather than against the rich fucks who are making all this happen).

2. You would be called a cynic, except

that every word you spoke is the terrible truth.
