The
Carpetbagger points to this
must read essay in yesterday's WaPo. It's quite good, and then it quotes Linda Chavez:
In New Orleans, "you are dealing with the permanently poor -- people who don't have jobs, are not used to getting up and organizing themselves and getting things done and for whom sitting and waiting is a way of life," says Linda Chavez, president of the Center for Equal Opportunity and a former head of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission.
That's not code for anything. What she's clearly saying is: Niggers are a lazy lower class of humanity whose troubles are strictly of their own making.
It's no wonder this admin would abandon the poor in NO. It's intelligent design. Or maybe call it Faith Based Darwinism. The math is simple: The more poor that die, the more rich you have. They're pitching in to help with the concept of natural selection, and it's not costing the taxpayers a dime.
But Chevez is not done:
"This is a natural disaster that is exacerbated by the problems of the underclass. The chief cause of poverty today among blacks is no longer racism. It is the breakdown of the traditional family."
Setting aside the overt racism of her comments, how does the presence of a traditional family put busses and trains to work picking people up? How does having 2 parents suddenly make the ill get well? I dearly wish she'd explain how a traditional family puts those who can't afford to own a used car into a Hummer.
I guess we're to forget the chronically lackluster job creation of this admin. That poverty has risen for 4 straight years isn't reflected in the NO disaster. Nosireebob - it's lazy people with bad parents - who happen to be largely black.
I'm not a religious person, but I pray there's a special corner in hell for people like Linda Chavez.
