Does anyone believe for one second that a Superdome filled with white people would have been treated like the people there were? No effort would have been spared to rescue the people trapped in NOLA had they been white. No one would have believed the stories of "looting" and "shooting the planes" and the supposed mayhem (mostly debunked) that took place at the colliseum. I watched in horror as the RW media successfully resurrected the Welfare Queen meme in order to eradicate any public sympathy for the victims of that disaster. I also remember DUers being horrified by the naked racism. And now I see people on this site channeling Sean Hannity about this black preacher. Rev. Wright is a racist, my ass.
