A Flood of Bigotry

[Joanne98]

by Tim Wise

In the United States, mass human tragedy almost instantly becomes overlaid with massive abuse of the victims, if they are Black - a double tragedy. Racists like Rush Limbaugh attempt to contrast the "supposedly good and decent" white people of the flooded upper Mississippi River basin with the "presumably evil, lazy and violent folks of New Orleans, who we are told, did nothing but foment criminality" when disaster struck their city. Limbaugh's belief - shared by millions who would never speak publicly - is that whites are by nature more self-sufficient than Blacks. But the figures show that flood-struck Iowans, for example, are at least as dependent on welfare and government subsidy as their darker counterparts in pre-Katrina New Orleans.

1. Rush Limbaugh: words escape me regarding this filth!

I am all about keeping cruel and unusual punishment abolished but in rush limbaugh's case I could make an exception...I am thinking tar and feathers and then force him to render aid in the clean up of the recently flooded areas.
