Watching news reports that show all of these terrible things... and that they are all black people?
I can't help shake the feeling that if there were more white people in there more would be being done. I understand the situation, and I understand it's difficult...but how did it ever come to this? Would Bush deny aid if a bunch of wasps were in there? It reminds me of the Shatila massacre in Lebanon, Israel stood there watching as all these people died. I know that's a dramatic example... but it's just spooky.

A few days ago, I posted something about feeling that I didn't care as much as I should, and that may be because of polarization causing a lack of identification with the victims. At the time of that post the death toll was very low and reports made it seem like there was some flooding and a lot of destoyed houses, but that was all. Now this sitaution has turned so horrible I can't fathom it.

And what I think I'm seeing is upfront, and obvious racism.
Anyone else?
