This thread is making me ill.
For the last time, what is happening in New Orleans has little to do with race, creed or colour. It is a desperate situation that has brought out the worst of society.
The inference that black people purposely stayed behind risking the wrath of a category 5 hurricane is nonsensical.
Anyone looting anything other than something to survive should be arrested and anyone walking about armed should be shot if they even look at the authorities wrong.
For those that seem enamored with speaking in semantics, generalizing is part of everyday life. Generalizing an entire race or sect of people as a result of the actions of a few should not be.
Finally, to the grade schoolers, perhaps one day you can grow up and debate a point without allowing the conversation to degenerate into nonsense and insults.
Good night and peace to New Orleans.
