[BottlesOf]

I'm more pissed that you don't know his name. I'm not kidding.

What he said is clearly true... without even considering anything relating to the Katrina disaster. If you don't think so then go live in any major city's ghetto for a year and then lets talk.

Yeah, you're right, Bush created ghettos.

1) I was pissed about how Kanye went off. Posted about it in the OOT thread that happened all of 3 days ago or something....not pissed because he voiced his opinion, but pissed about the time and place. That was neither.

2) For those who say, "he's right"...first, take it to Politics. Second...no, he's not. Not in the least.

I like how you continue a political discussion and then make sure you get in the last word, but tell others to move it elsewhere. What amazingly clever rhetorical technique!

Name one single thing that Bush has done for the Black community.

There are a number of things about Bush that are debateable. As for his record related to the black community, his record speaks for himself and is completely unambiguous.

[Edge34]

I'mnot going to continue it here, but I'd like you to tell me one thing he's done specifically AGAINST the black community. In the politics forum. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

What a rediculous statement. I never said nor implied that the ghettos were created by Bush.

[benkahuna]

He made a straw man argument because it's easier than addressing your comment.

I think one can make a fair guess as to what would have happened if a similar tragedy struck a bunch of rich, white people somewhere.

Would thousands of people be left to suffer (and die) without any food and wallow in their own feces (like those who were struggling at NO conv-ctr) if they were rich and white??
There was nobody showing up to help them for several freaking days. They were just stuck there dying and piling bodies up in the freezer.

If it was a bunch of rich, white people one might guess there would be a higher likelihood that 10,000 paratroopers would descend upon the place with care-packages and medical supplies.


It is difficult to comprehend the enormity of how badly this whole thing was fouled-up.
Prior to this happening like it did I would NEVER have thought something like this was possible in the richest country in the world.

I know it's a huge area with a LOT of people that were in trouble and that the flood-waters everywhere made travel VERY difficult....but the situation WAS controllable if there hadn't been such an extraordinary delay in getting various forces down there.
It's truly mind-boggling...and I find the delayed response by our govt to people in need to be almost as sickening as the actual loss of roughly 10k lives in this disaster.
