You almost want to laugh at this stuff.

No surprises here. Hell they don't even think the money in your wallet is private property, unless you take into account that they consider it "their" private property.

I suppose I will be called a racist when I point out that America's "chocolate city" so closely resembles most African countries.


I don't suppose anybody will consider it racist to not expect better of them. Yet, I can't think of anything more racist than to excuse these things because we just can't expect such a brown society to act properly.

Isn't it time yet to hold Nagin and others of his ilk in postions of authority to human standards? Must we always be thwarted in that endeavor by accusations of racism? Is it always to be that we must consider them less than full human?

I've always said (jokingly) that there's nothing wrong with a little corruption so long as it's working in your favor.

Apparently the good folks in N'awleans agree...
