Hurricane Katrina: Exposing the stupidity - Part II
They just interviewed the Louisiana Attorney General Charles Foti on Fox News. He was blabbering on about how it's OK for the blacks to be raping New Orleans because they're hungry. Never mind the fact that they're stealing televisions, clothes, and everything else that isn't nailed down.
But I know this criminal Foti. He was Sheriff of Orleans Parish when I used to live in New Orleans. While he was Sheriff, he ran a redlight in his patrol car while he was snot-slinging drunk in the small hours of the morning. This wouldn't be that bad, but some poor b@stard was coming the other way in a cab, and Foti T-boned him, nearly killing the cab driver. Foti, drunk, but uninjured, ran from the scene on foot, and hid in an apartment building.
When his deputy arrived on the scene, Foti convinced him to lie and say that the deputy had been driving. Eventually, the truth bubbled to the surface. Foti ran for re-election the following month, and ...are you ready for this? He won by a landslide. They have a saying in Lousiana that "We don't expect our politicians to be corrupt - we demand it."

What do you mean "the blacks"? I saw just as many images of white looters today.

Then the lame-stream-media must be going out of it's way to skew the coverage.
See http://www.jamaica-star.com/thestar/20050902/cleisure/cleisure1.html
LET ME START by saying that if I had my life to live over a thousand times, the one thing I would not change would be my race. I am proud to be a black man. There are times however, when I wish that certain people and I did not share that trait....
...The pictures I have been seeing are of people - black people - stealing shoes, diapers, and television sets. Not food and definitely not water. Not unless the armfuls of clothing, shoes, and appliances I see people wading through the streets with count as food and water....
...And it has nothing to do with poverty. Where are the white people in all this? I am sure there are poor white people living in New Orleans, Biloxi and the other towns affected by what has been going on. Is it that the media are not showing pictures of them looting and robbing? Or is it that they are too busy trying to stay alive, waiting to be rescued, and hiding from the blacks....
