A terrible storm brewing in the U.S.

[True_Blue]

When my mother did a community service expedition in Hungary earlier this year, she found herself repeatedly having to insist that not all Americans are racist.

Her Hungarian acquaintances, however, remained unconvinced. They mentioned Americans' resentment of illegal Mexicans -- who nevertheless take care of American children, pack American meat, and prune American shrubs. The Hungarians pointed out the serpentine lines of black people trying to vote in Ohio last November. And they even asked about whitewashing in sitcoms like "Friends" and "Seinfeld," both of which are aired in Hungary.

Still, my mom insisted that it would be wrong to conclude that most Americans think of blacks or Hispanics as some sort of permanent underclass.

This week, though, the lid may have come off America's racism problem. And it's a lot uglier than I ever imagined.

1. Some people on this board didn't believe me . . .

. . . when I told them that I had a hard time convincing some people in Amsterdam that I didn't agree with Bush. I know Amsterdam isn't Hungary, but from what I'm hearing from others, they're running into the same thing. This further confirms it. Thanks to cuckoobananas we're all being painted with the same brush.

2. You'd have a hard time convincing me, and I'm here!

This is all about race. It is all about race. It is all about race.

They knew that these people would have to stay. They make $12k a year median and many have only public assistance. Ironically, Thursday was pay day. If any of those who stuck around wanted to leave for parts unknown, unable to stay for more than a few days before they ran out of money, they couldn't because they live pay check to pay check.

It's all about race. The vast majority of those who suffered are black. They were called "looters" at first but even the MSM couldn't hold that because their reporters on site wouldn't let them. Now they're called, well, who knows what they'll call them.

I heard Lou Dobbs raise the race issue and then qualify it by saying the Mayor was black. So fucking what Lou, you moron. It's all about the victims, almost all of whom are black.

The Democrats rely on 90% black votes to win about any election.

What will blacks think now that we've been silent.

Thanks leadership, you're just wonderful...and your hair, "Better to look good than to be good."

3. Perhaps they should look in their own backyard

Ask your average Hungarian what they think of the Roma (Gypsies). Roma are heavily discriminated against in Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. The conditions they live in, their political representation in the government and threats of violence they live under are reminiscent of blacks before the Civil Rights era.
