Racism Raw & Uncut!

This Entire Hurricane Disaster is really starting to get to me. I could go on and on about the horrific treatment that are Black American Citizens are receiving down South, but we all see it everyday thanks to the lovely Media! Of Whom continue to place people in catagories and boxes based on their racial make-up. I'm so fucking proud to be an American. (NOT) You'd think that in 2005 we'd moved beyond all the madness and ignorance. Well, once again not only has our President proved that Racism is alive and well, but the media continues to relish in it's glory. Take a look at these two pictures... and the captions following, Notice how the blacks are referred to as "Refugees" ANd the whites are referred to as " Victims"....
Now what does refugee mean?

Websters Dictionary states the following:
Main Entry: ref·u·gee
Pronunciation: "re-fyu-'jE
Function: noun
: an individual seeking refuge or asylum; especially : an individual who has left his or her native country and is unwilling or unable to return to it because of persecution or fear of persecution (as because of race, religion, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion)


Now, I bring you back to the word itself REFUGEE... What part of disaster, floods... devastation equals REFUGEE? You have to be kidding right?

Victim.....n 1: an unfortunate person who suffers from some adverse circumstance 2: a person who is tricked or swindled [syn: dupe]


Did any of these people flee from another country? Due to political asylum; religious persecution? We know the answer.. So why the FUCK they keep calling our people refugees? Somebody please answer this for me! Seems to me Victims are what they are

Paul Christian Stallworth, center, pastor of The Potter's House International Church of the Four Square Gospel. Mostly without outside assistance, black churches have stepped up to provide aid to many of Hurricane Katrina's victims, either because that's where the victims _ most of them black _ first sought help or because of frustrations in dealing with government agencies or other charities.(APPhoto/Ric Feld)
