Hurricane relief

What on earth leads you to assume that the vast majority did not in fact
help one another rather than committing crimes?

What's kind of interesting, in this whole thing, is that CNN (the supposed
"liberal" news outlet ) has been showing endless video of blacks looting and
shouting gibberish at the cameras, essentially since "Day One." It's hard
to imagine black people being presented in a worse light.

Fox News, on the other hand (the supposed "conservative" news outlet) has
been showing the same footage, but also spending many more hours covering
the *positive* aspects of the disaster recovery, showing all of the good
people who have pulled together in the face of adversity.

(This coverage tactic, by the way, mirrors Fox's coverage of the war in
Iraq -- the same coverage that has infuriated the Left as being "namby
pamby" war coverage. It seems that they always try to show one good thing
for each bad thing they cover -- although I have no idea if that's a
conscious decision, or just my impression. )

Sadly, I know all of this because I just spent the last 3 days dealing with
my mother-in-law's death, which meant endless hours sitting in hotel rooms
and FBOs, watching wall-to-wall Katrina coverage... Regardless, I find it
fascinating that the "Conservative Channel" has been much more positive
about the way Louisiana and Mississippi residents have been handling their
disaster.

That fellow who killfiled you was correct, you are a racist. It
speaks volumes that you see black people shouting at cameras but all
you can hear is "gibberish". Do they also all look the same to you?
For your information, that shouting was a desperate plea for food and
water. I heard it quite clearly. That you choose to characterize
their pleas as "gibberish" is classically racist. You are a
despicable character.

And you, sir, are a moron.

This isn't a black issue at all -- which, if you were able to actually
follow a thread from start to finish, you would already know.

In a past career I worked extensively in the inner city -- have you? Have
you *seen* the poverty of the underclass? Have you tasted the desperation
of an entire class of people that has been dependent on the government teat
for generations?

If not, shut the f*ck up. You know NOTHING of what you're talking about.

NOW you've done it!!! I was afraid of this.......and it's MY fault!!!!!!.
My wife says I'm a bad influence on you. Does your lovely bride know about
this? Where is she? I hope she's away from the computer screen. You have to
be careful she doesn't find out. You could find yourself in REAL hot water
about this you know. :-)))
Actually, it's not too bad yet. I see my influence hasn't completely
destroyed you . Somehow, you managed to insert that single asterisk. If you
were at my level of total Usenet destruction, ALL the letters would be
there....and in CAPS!!!!
This shows my influence on you hasn't quite reached the last stage of total
Usenet destruction and you can still deal with the idiots on Usenet one step
above my level of "no asterisks at all".
You can still be saved if you stop this instant; tell the front desk clerk
to take over, get away from the keyboard, smile at the guests as you leave
the front office, go over to the airport and get in the Cherokee, take off,
, climb to 5000 feet and open the vents wide. Take a deep breath and count
to 100 slowly. Now come on back to the hotel and tell your wife you are VERY
sorry you said this awful word. She will understand that this single
incident of bad behavior was the result of you being exposed to me and she
will forgive you.
Just remember.......If you keep this up, our wives won't let us play
together any more!!!!! :-)))))

Yes, I did refrain from using the entire "F" word. It was in the original
draft (along with quite a few other things I thought better of, and
deleted), however!

You haven't fully corrupted me yet, Dudley...

Thank God! I was afraid it was too late :-)

I'm sorry to learn about your trouble. Please tell Mary that Bea and I are
thinking about her.

Thanks, Dudley.

Mary's got a great attitude toward life (and death) in general, as did her
mother. She'll stutter step for a few more days, and then be back to
normal, I suspect.

"At all"?? Your categorical statement reveals both denial and
ignorance.

LOL! I have known a number of people who have worked in the inner
city. Many of them emerged even more racist than before they went in.
Your experience in the inner city can not be offered up as evidence
against racism, nor can it be offered up as evidence of some special
understanding. You clearly have no special understanding; You see
desperate cries for help and all you hear is "gibberish". As others
have correctly noted, you words reek of racism.

I think you might be reading in racist coupling in Jay's dialog by "reading
triggers" that you personally associate with racist dialog where no racist
connotation or inflection was present.
I'm extremely sensitive to "reading" between the lines on Usenet and I can
find no racist inflection at all in what Jay has said.
