And remember...the blacks "LOOTED", but the whites "GATHERED"....according to the media.
Now, in light that an overwhelming majority of the refugees in houston are black, the statement "Few families would use the cards for good" is overtly racist on it's face.
I'm anything but PC my friend, but I do call it as I see it.

How can you automatically call that a racist statement? You just assumed I was talking about black people. There are white people living in New Orleans that looted too. You are the only one that has connected "black" with "looting".

You stated that "most" of the refugees would misuse their money.
Ergo, according to you, "most" of the people, almost all of them black, are going to misuse the money.
A frankly racist statement.
As far as me connecting "black" with "looting"--I was referenceing several articles in various publications where whites were reported to be "gathering supplies" while characterizing blacks, engaging in the same activities, as "looting"
I was pointing out blatant race discrimination embedded, semantically, in media reports....just as I was pointing out the racial impact of your assertion regarding the cash cards.
