James Watson's Idiocy & The Racist's Lack of Control Of Himself
http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewNation.as...05 1214b.html Statistics Suggest Race Not a Factor in Katrina Deaths By Nathan Burchfiel CNSNews.com Correspondent December 14, 2005 (CNSNews.com) - Statistics released by the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals suggest that fewer than half of the victims of Hurricane Katrina were black, and that whites died at the highest rate of all races in New Orleans. Liberals in the aftermath of the storm were quick to allege that the Bush administration delayed its response to the catastrophe because most of the victims were black. Damu Smith, founder of the National Black Environmental Justice Network, in September said that the federal government "ignored us, they forgot about us ... because we look like we look." Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan in October said that the Federal Emergency Management Agency wasn't fit to help the storm's victims because "there are not enough blacks high up in FEMA" and added that, "certainly the Red Cross is the same." Rapper Kanye West used his time on NBC's telethon for the hurricane victims to charge that, "George Bush doesn't care about black people." But the state's demographic information suggests that whites in New Orleans died at a higher rate than minorities. According to the 2000 census, whites make up 28 percent of the city's population, but the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals indicates that whites constitute 36.6 percent of the storm's fatalities in the city. African-Americans make up 67.25 percent of the population and 59.1 percent of the deceased. Other minorities constitute approximately 5 percent of the population and represented 4.3 percent of the storm's fatalities. Overall for the state, 658 bodies have been identified. Forty-seven percent were African-American and 42 percent were Caucasian. The remaining bodies were either non-black minorities or undetermined. An additional 247 victims have not been identified, so their demographic information has not been released. The data showed that the majority of Katrina's victims lived in the Orleans parish. The nearby St. Bernard and Jefferson parishes had 91 and 25 victims, respectively. The storm also did not discriminate based on gender. Fifty percent of the victims were male and 49 percent were female, with 1 percent being undetermined. Calls requesting comment from Damu Smith and the Nation of Islam were not returned Wednesday. Add this to your glass of black whine: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ucjl/2006010...atrinaanalysis MEDIA STILL OVERPLAYING RACE CARD IN KATRINA ANALYSIS Did New Orleans blacks die at a higher rate than whites in the wake of Hurricane Katrina? On the evidence so far, the answer is no. Of the 1,100 bodies recovered in Louisiana after Katrina, 836 were found in New Orleans, and the state has released data on 568 of those that were judged to be storm-related. As of last week, blacks, who were 67.2 percent of the pre-storm population of New Orleans, account for 50.9 percent of the city victims so far identified by race. It was New Orleans whites who died way out of proportion to their numbers: 28 percent of the population, 45.6 percent of the city's known Katrina deaths by race. (...) UPDATE: DHH updates storm-related body count http://www.nola.com/newslogs/tpupdat...31.html#109038 The number of bodies recovered in connection with Hurricane Katrina has risen by three since Jan. 11, to 1,103 bodies, the state Department of Health and Hospitals said in a news release Monday. To date, the release said, 910 bodies have been examined at the morgue set up in Carville, with 678 bodies being released to family members. One hundred sixteen bodies are ready to be released and authorities are attempting to locate family, the release said.

Yeah, the administration tripped over its dicks to apologize when no apology was necessary __________ Katrina, lies and videotape By Star Parker Monday, August 28, 2006 Spike Lee took his cameras and crew to New Orleans to film a documentary about Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath. The four-hour production, which aired on HBO, is, unfortunately, about as destructive as was the disaster it depicts. At a time when we need light and understanding, Lee has delivered darkness, anger and hatred. Those who will be hurt the most by the distorted and untruthful picture that Lee has concocted are the poor blacks he purports to want to help. (...) The film commits egregious journalistic sins of commission and omission, carefully selecting and editing footage to indict Bush, including only commentators who support the conclusions that Lee had already reached, and selectively omitting reams of information relevant to the complex truth of what actually happened. Since Lee already knew the truth, he didn't have much need to examine material such as "A Failure of Initiative," Congress' investigation into Katrina, which shows failure and breakdown at all levels of government _ local, state and federal. It also was of little interest to Lee that primary responsibility for disaster preparation and management is at the level of local and state government, not federal. But New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin comes off in the production as just one cool dude. He shows up at regular intervals over the four-hour production, talking New Orleans jive and being one straightforward sincere guy who was trying to do his job. No mention is made of the hurricane simulations and emergency evacuation plans that he totally ignored. No reference is made to the famous picture of the parking lot filled with flooded school buses that Nagin chose not to use to evacuate residents in poor areas. Central to the Katrina story is the failure of the levees. Indeed, Lee's film is called "When the Levees Broke." But who is responsible for ignoring the warnings over the years that the levees protecting New Orleans were inadequate? Bush? Of course not. It was Louisiana's congressional delegation that was responsible to ensure that their constituents' interests were being represented and that funds were being appropriated to fix sub-standard levees. But not a single Louisiana senator or congressman is ever mentioned or appears in "When the Levees Broke." William Jefferson, New Orleans' congressman for the last 16 years, has been under FBI investigation over the last year under bribery charges. However, Jefferson is a Democrat and a member of the Congressional Black Caucus. To shine a light on his possible, and likely, neglect of representing his constituents' interests would have distracted from the single message that Bush was the evil genius behind this tragedy. Of course, no mention is made of Jefferson's trip home, when he commandeered a National Guard truck in the middle of rescue efforts to take him to his house to retrieve personal property. (...) After showing what appears to be a disengaged Bush, assuring that help is on the way, Lee pans, in contrast, to Harry Belafonte, who talks about the generous offers of help that came from President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela. I have written previously of the love of affair of the black left, particularly the Rev. Jesse Jackson, with Third World dictators. There is virtually no freedom of the press and speech in Venezuela. If Lee were a citizen of Venezuela and made a similar film attacking Chavez, he would disappear forever after the first showing. Perhaps most sad is that in four hours Lee has nothing positive to say about America and Americans. No mention is made of the $700 million from private citizens and churches that were committed in the first few days of the tragedy. No mention is made of the thousands of homes across the nation that welcomed evacuees. No mention is made of the tens of thousands who have successfully rebuilt their lives. Spike Lee clearly has little affection for the country that gives him free expression and has made him wealthy. He has produced a self-indulgent, deceitful and exploitive film about a tragedy. His message will give poor blacks more reasons to feel powerless, to feel lost, to feel that others bear responsibility for their lives, to hate, and to stay poor. http://tinyurl.com/peync |

Racist Inferiority

The racist senses, albeit only dimly, his inferiority. That feeling of humiliation drives the racist to a state of being untrustworthy. Sub Saharan Africa is ruled by rascist bigots. Witness Robert Mugabe and his African veterans. Blacks who have never fought in any war to entitle themselves to the epithet veteran. This band of vandals destroyed farms and drove out the white African farmers who had been the mainstay of Zimbabwe's economy. [] Oh, I should have asked, you were referring to the black African community, weren't you? ----------------------------- No. While Mugabe is an ass, the feeling of Africans against the invasion and occupation and colonialization of their countries by whites totally justifies their actions, and even if it results in dire poverty, the kind of freedom they seek is preferable to wealth and slavery to whites. Steve What a stupid reaction. Better free and dying of hunger than being fed with improving education and health under a beign white authority. I watched a program tonight about the British being driven out of Aden. When I visited Aden in early 1963 it was a haven of free trade and prosperity; although the store keeper did try and cheat me. That is a clue to the mentality of the populace. After driving out the British the communist rulers (with strong support from the Soviets) nationalized all private properts (state theft, of course, by any other name). Then they joined up with the Northern states and then the standard of living truly crashed. Today several wrere asked if they would welcome back the Brits - yes, please was the response. Freedom is a concept, it does not feed bellies or educate your kids, nor does it pay for health care. The more restrictive the ruling regime the lower the standard of living. This pattern is easifly seen all around the world. Check for yourself. All those countries that have the word Democratic in their name are invariably not democratic and to a country, have restrictions of one sort or another on their people. They also all to a country, need Western aid or live in poverty. President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe is the personification of this. To call him an ass is to honour him with at perhaps an honest but perhaps also foolish abilty. He is neither honest nor foolish to himself. He is a self-serving tyrant with a dreadful human rights record. Not just to the white farmers who were the mainstay of the economy, but to the blacks who are of a different tribe to him. His inhumane treatment of his own people almost belies belief. He is an evil dictator. If he was white, there would be a world outcry and moves to invade and free those poor blacks from the awful white man. But he is black and so we have R. Steve Walz and others of similar ilk, who must abase themsleves at the alter of black enslavement. All evil in the world wherever blacks are concerned, can only be attributed to nasty white folk. With blacks it is not really rascist, just foolishness. What bunkum. The sooner you wake up to what this man and others in sub Saharan Africa do, the sooner the poor black man's welfare will be helped. |
