the media, during katrina's aftermath Options

[fameONE]

The truth is...

New Orleans is a poor black city. Bar none, plain and simple. Don't be fooled by the French aristocrats in the more grandeur parts of town in classic victorian homes, New Orleans is poor and New Orleans is black.

Is this much understood? Ok, then, moving on.

Pardon me for playing the race card in the matter but I'm well within my right. And speaking of "right" the "right" winged conservative fcuks in this country can't seem to understand why THOSE PEOPLE in New Orleans didn't just get in their cars and leave when news of the hurricane spread across the city. The repulican "right" can't understand why THOSE PEOPLE in New Orleans don't have postgraduate degrees, upper middle class homes, two or more fairly new cars and a savings account large enough for them to stay in the Hilton for an undetermined amount of time.

On the other hand, look at Mississippi; they got the bulk of the damage and the million dollar homes on multi-acre homesites are no more. The unfortunate families that were unable to get away are doing their best for shelter but, wait, they have the red cross, don't they? And, oh yeah, they're gathering food and recreational appliances and tools for entertainment while THOSE PEOPLE in New Orelans are looting. I'm not sure if stocking up on pampers, tampons and toilet paper during the aftermath of a national disaster is considering looting, but, FOXNEWS said it is. So now, for the supposed 87% of Americans that are tuned into that God-awful newstation, they can all believe that, in a sense, THOSE PEOPLE in New Orleans deserve what they have right now.

Bush's fault? Yes. But there's another topic for that.

The fcuked up portrayal by our "liberal media" (our so called liberal media is deepthroating the republicans) is that THOSE PEOPLE in New Orleans aren't important and that the few maniacs driven to insanity are an adequate representation of the thousands still stranded in the city. Would New Orleans be treated like this if it were Milwaukee? I highly doubt that the media would rip on Plano, Texas the way they're ripping on New Orleans. And by ripping, turn on your television and pay attention to how each one of THOSE PEOPLE are interviewed. Pick out the most distraught and unintelligent of the bunch and shove a camera and microphone in their face so America can sadistically "take pity" on the "lowly" inhabitants of New Orleans.

I know goddamned well I'm not the only person who notices this. And if you don't see this, then open you're eyes.
