Why Didn't They Drop Food? Can You Spell R-A-C-I-S-M?
Why didn't the National Guard make food drops this past week?
Because, we are now being told, the Arkansas Air National Guard feared riots.
"Airdropping supplies could actually worsen the situation, said Army National Guard Lt. Kevin Cowan, with the state Office of Emergency Preparedness. 'Just like Afghanistan, you drop food, it creates chaos.'" (Click here.)
This is as lame as it gets. Underneath this policy is a racist assumption that black people can't be trusted to behave themselves.
It is sickening.
Would the Guard have adopted the same policy if those faces on top of the highways of New Orleans had been white?
I usually hesitate to holler racism. But this seems as clear a case as there is.
Whoa.
