Is this racism? Or is it because they're Democrats?

[FloridaPat]

Thought crossed my mind yyesterday. We all know how * likes to get even with people that disagree with him. And the rumors are he and his group hates Blacks, except for Condi. So maybe all this "incompentence" is getting even with these people for voting against him.

1. Both. n/t

[SmokingJacket]

2. It certainly didn't help matters, I'm sure.

Why should **he** go out of his way to help people who didn't even want him to be president??

[cloud75]

3. you mean just like he got back at Joe Wilson and others..oh yea

we wouldn't be talking about this it there wasn't some truth to it.

[Mutley]

4. Certainly both, and more.

I think it's about race, wealth, and political affiliation. I think the vote against Chimpy was something like 70% in NO. I'm sure that has something to do with it.

5. BOTH. It's a twofer!

:grr:

[Cobalt Violet]

6. Poor, Black,and, Democrats

These people were hated from the start. They are not even considered human.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

10. Especially because they're poor...

They're considered useless and a drain on the economy by the powers that be.

7. Oh, I *Know* He Hates Us

This is all a big "f-you" to everyone who doesn't just *love* him. I'm beginning to wonder if it is going to take revolution to get rid of these sick neocons. If so, so be it. I want them *gone*. It's all I care about now.

8. Yep, and they're trying to bring the Dem. governor down by blaming

everything on her.. she asked for help from the government before the storm hit, but that ASS-HAT stayed in crawford with his lips wrapped around Jeff Gannon's prick and wouldn't be disturbed!

9. Zeitgiest

So this little thing called the Zeitgiest ("Spirit of the Times") tells me things every once in a while, and here is what the two undenyable consequences of the Hurricane Katrina Disaster:

-Racial Tensions in New Orleans (and possibly across the nation) will increase, seeing as how predominantly white Ntl. Guard troops are opening fire on predominantly black "looters." NO's racial demographics are roughly 64% black, 35% white.

-Louisiana, possibly Mississippi as well, will become a blue state.

11. it is a twofer

sick aren't they?

[porphyrian]

12. It's no single factor, it's many.

Racism, classism, incompetence, cronyism, selfishness, accident, political retribution, ignorance and bad luck all went into the response we are witnessing to some degree. There are other factors as well, I'm sure. The downfall of this administration is that it is beginning to think in the oversimplified terms it uses to control the stupid and the lazy. Don't make the same mistake.
