Let's blame whitey, No. 3

I watched, dumbfounded, as the nomenclature of Katrina victims evolved in the media from 'those affected,' to 'evacuees,' to 'refugees.' I felt the evolution was warranted. Not so the black community. As always, they believe everyone is out to get them. This time, using the word "refugee" is racist against blacks. This is no longer tiring. It's just nutty.

From AP:

"It is racist to call American citizens refugees," the Rev. Jesse Jackson said, visiting the Houston Astrodome on Monday. Members of the Congressional Black Caucus have expressed similar sentiments.

Apparently everyone is against blacks. No reading of the tea leaves offers any other explanation for black leaders. I have two words for the massive chip glued onto the shoulders of many black leaders: Shut up.
