George Bush and Black People
-
Why was the government slow in getting to New Orleans? pretty simple, the state has to request federal assistance, while the supplies were getting to the poor people of all races in Mississippi and Alabama, Governor Blanco was on a "Im in charge" power trip in Louisiana. And still is, ask Mayor Nagin (yes a BLACK Democrat) of New Orleans who was holding up progress...
But it's all Bush's fault, Bush obviously made Blanco drag her feet on some kind of holier than thou power trip.StiSchucky..

no, you were foolish to vote without knowing the issues the campaigns were based on. in my opinion, the last election was the most childish bout of whining i've heard/seen in a long time -
Ok back on topic..............How is it Bushs fault in New Orleans? Just because the majority of the people there were black and poor, does not mean it is his fault. Is it his fault because they are poor? No...they could have made strides to become better individuals. They could have gotten better grades in school and perhaps recieved scholarships. They could have went to college if they cared enough about there own life. Yes there is financial aid for poor people. A majority of them choose the path that they take, like smoking crack and selling rocks right out of high school. I know this does not apply to all. But would have made a difference of the number of poor people left there. If they took a little pride in themselves they could make a difference in there life. Now black people are shooting at rescuers and what not. What do we do? We shoot back, now it is the govt being racist and picking on black people. Definatley bushs fault right? Now why was the aid so slow in getting there? Geez I dont know, maybe because the city had a major hurricane and then decided to flood for 2 days. Must be bushs fault again.........its not like the state cant call the guard in or deliver supplies. The only thing that I feel might be the gov'ts fault at any level is not providing transportation and shelter elsewhere before the storm. But then again some people would refuse to leave and we would still have these problems. Anyways I just do not get why they blame him for everything.

My thoughts on this topic are. It was a natural disaster that the city had a plan to handle but didn't have the resources to implement it. The local politicians are on record stating that. It's not the job of the federal government to be the first responders. That job is to be handled by the local and state officials. If they need assistance than they have to ask for it. The truth of the matter is that the hurricane Katrina is to blame for the disaster and the idiots who originally built a city in a bowl. Everyone including the media thought we "dodged a bullet", but we didn't. You can't blame Bush for everything. He put the people in charge to do the job and if it doesn't get done then he needs to deal with it. Just because he fumbles his words doesn't make him an idiot. Look at Clinton. He was the governor of Arkansas, and his record is even poorer than Bush's. He is perfect example of someone who is a great speaker, and great potential to do some awesome things, but only mananaged to get his nub sucked.
New Orleans has had 60 years of Democrats in charge....what do you expect?! (j/k)

I am sick of all of this BS. I just read that Jay-z link that Johnson posted. What a bunch of bullshit. I guess black people get 100% freedom of speech, but if a white person were to say something about a black person, holy shit, bring them to jail! Oh, and starting a fund just to support black people in a time of crisis? Sounds a little racist to me!! Kind of like how every black person or minority gets to go to college for little or nothing just because they are black? Racism. Why isn't there a national Caucasian grant or scholarship? Oh, because that would be racism. I am pissed off and sick of black people being racist to white people.
Oh, and Jay-z, stick to rapping. You don’t know wtf you are talking about.

Because Minorities are special.
My question is what happens when caucasians are no longer the majority?

^ you have to remember that a lot of the people that were there during the storm were too poor to leave and stay somewhere else. it wasnt just a bunch of drunks wandering the streets.too poor to leave town if it meant saving your life? get serious. People can make it out of the country to escape pursecution in the east but poor people in AMERICA cant make it north forty miles?

No shit!

I dont think its really a race issue so much as its a class issue. Bush doesnt care about the poor people, in this case, most of the poor people just happen to be black.
THIS is why FEMA's slow response to katrina IS bushs fault.
Bush IS an idiot. He has all the intelligence of a retarded clam. I would venture to wager that his IQ is less than 110. It is probably somewhere around "average" if not below.

110 is lower than average isnt it? I thought average was like 120?
edit: i just heard on sean hannity that the red cross was ready with food and water before the hurricane but were turned away by the state of louisiana...the state plans the superdome to be a refuge of last resort and that doesnt include the supply of neccessities because they dont want people to stay in New Orleans...they "want" them to be "miserable" so they are motivated to evacuate...

You'd expect any less coming from Mini-Limbaugh? Too much finger pointing. Things could have gone better. Can't change the past. Lets move forward.

just some stats... i remember seeing a breakdown of iq's to labels in psychology a couple of years ago, but can't remember them all.
essentially, iq is [(mental age)/(physical age)]100. feel free to do more learning on the topic -

Sweet deal, according to that link, and according to whichever BS online IQ test you beleive, I am superior to VERY superior! HA ha! one of these damn days I'll go out and get a real IQ test.
It would be interesting to see "dubyas" resluts..... I still stand behind my statement of average to below average, at best.
