Dudes... people... I just heard the most insulting thing ever.

Was watching the news about the California fires and some jackass newscaster had the gall to note that the rescue centers in SoCal were clean, well lit and with many amenities, unlike the shelters set up during Hurricane Katrina.

Wow. Just... wow. Your ignorance astounds me, newscaster person.

You want to know why the shelters in the rich parts of SoCal are nicer than what they had in New Orleans? Because the victims of the fire in Socal were rich and mostly white. Whereas, the victims of Hurricane Katrina on average were all poor and black.

I've never been the kind of person to see black/white-rich/poor issues in everything. But I can see it clearly here.

The bullshit that happened with Hurricane Katrina was plainly because those people in New Orleans were poor and black. (Though I'm not expert, I'm just going on plain opinion and my own personal feelings -- feel free to get pissed at me and disagree. I can take it.) All the rich folks trucked their asses out in their six figure SVUs -- without even looking back. The rest that were left were too poor to leave on their own. Their city forgot about them. Their country forgot about them.

They were left to rot. How fucked up is that?

And now we have some white bint on CNN complaining about how the fires have negatively affected her life -- GASP! She hasn't be able to use her cell phone, text OR answer email in three whole days! I kid you not -- she was actually ON AIR complaining about this.

Wow. I feel your pain, lady. I really do. I am SO sorry you haven't emailed your superficial, artificial, more machine now than man friends in 72 hours. It's a national fucking tragedy. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, CAN SOMEONE GET THIS WOMAN A WI-FI!??

***NOTE: For those of you ACTUALLY suffering due to the California fires, I really do feel for you. But the whole thing I saw on the news with the reporter and that stupid bint complaining about her email -- it just set my teeth on edge.

I feel better now...

Haha, I was totally watching something with Wolf Blitzer, and wolf was trying to get into the whole race issue... and the other guy shot him down.

I mean, it's somewhat obvious, with the types of people, it seems to me that poor people (black or white) are much less willing to take care of things, they're more about what's directly theirs and what they can get for themselves, where as more affluent people actually might care about others... or at least to the point of not destroying things and causing a ruckus.
