The Flood That Exposed The Rot

the more i read about the negative stereotyping of the survivors from new orleans, the more i think that this tragedy is about that modern brand of subtle racism that won't call itself what it is because outright public bigotry isn't acceptable anymore. modern racists whisper about looters and rapists instead of of 'niggers'. one dumbass bought a gun because he witnessed an 'argument' at a gas station that scared him.

these good old boys are probably card carrying NRA members. yet, they clearly feel that possession of guns by black men is a reason for fear and suspicion. after all, they appear to have swallowed hook, line, and sinker the idea that armed black men in new orleans were by default probable criminals instead of people trying to ensure the safety of their stranded friends and family members.
