Lack of Response to Katrina is due to Class Discrimination.
Edited on Mon Sep-05-05 10:07 AM by patrice
Economic class discrimination includes ALL Racial sub-types in a given social economic class.

Bush does not like to Serve Others.

He wasn't even ready to engage in Cronyism and Pork Barrelling in response to Katrina. The man is a Threat to the Security of this Country. Can you honestly name anyone in recent geo-politics, Hitler is too obvious, and trite, can you name any *one* person in recent geo-politics who has wrought such damage Everywhere?

He hates his job. Send him home!!!

March on Washington 9/24-26!

It's OUR Country.

Solidarity!

3. They BUY VOTES with the contracts and government JOBS
they hand out to contributors and the MEDIA FACISTS.

Growth in government was 12% not very long ago. And NOLA+++ is what we get for our tax $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

While War Profiteers and Oil Businesses get fatter and fatter. $3.00 a gallon gas is Status Quo. WHERE is MASS TRANSIT????????????? Amtrak is nearly RUINED by BushCo!!!

2. I'm glad someone finally said this. It's classism, not racism.

4. I agree it is mainly classism, although a group of poor whites
Would have gotten a little more notice from their elected officials.

The Repubs like blacks as long as they have money and are Repubs: T.D. Jakes, Condi, Larry Elders...

6. Indeed!
There are stories that whites were cherry-picked out of groups to receive help. They were taken elsewhere.

Racism beats strong in the Heart of this country. It is relevant to Everyone who makes it so, and that effects the rest of us. I, personally, imagine a place/time in which it is more ir-relevant.

Harebo!!

5. I taught upper class public and private highschools. Chaperoned
proms with the little darlings and their Moms, did Key Club stuff. Believe me, Some people really enjoy the spectacle of the Riff-Raff and White Trash people with no prospects of a "the right" college nor "the right" friends.

Cruelty is also a salient characteristic of relationships in our high schools.

7. I was reading somewhere...
(i think at infowars.com) that after the initial breach in the levy, part of the levey was dynamited so as to preserve the higher class homes. Has anyone else heard this?
