President Bush, seeking to dispel the widely held notion that poor, black Hurricane Katrina victims were abandoned because of their race, said Friday the rebuilding of the Gulf Coast will be successful only if it eliminates poverty and racial injustice.
That notion is only held by race pimps and their flock of "It's because I'm black" sheep. How exactly will he eliminate poverty and "racial injustice" ? The people are "poor" because they lack initiative and self reliance. They have endorsed a lifestyle that feeds resentment against whites and the rich while accepting handouts from the whites and the rich. If these able bodied idiots would get off their collective butts and actually do something to improve their lives instead of having this "I'm oppressed and entitled" mentality they wouldn't stay poor. The very notion that "racial injustice" is what keeps them in poverty is nonsense. If they wanted a job, they could get a job. It's required by law that they get preferential treatment for jobs in most sectors. They need to get their minds out of the sixties and join the rest of us in the twenty first century.
Some black leaders took a wait-and-see attitude.
"I feel his language is encouraging - he seems to be discovering a reality, the same reality that I see," said NAACP President Bruce Gordon. "Now what we need to see is whether he will use the George Bush-style conviction to eliminate poverty."
Bishop T.D. Jakes, the best-selling black author and head of the 30,000-member Potter's House church in Dallas, on Friday called upon Americans not to rest until the poor are raised to an acceptable living standard and to be willing to "love them enough to pay the bill."
Excuse me Bishop ? I'm sick of paying their bills ! If they need assistance going to school the help is there. This nonsense that everyone is entitled to an "acceptable living standard" through no effort of their own is what is bankrupting this country and keeping these people from actually doing anything for themselves. Who decides what an "acceptable living standard" is anyway ? Most of the "poor" in this country have TVs, radios, a roof over their head, food, indoor plumbing. Most of which the "poor" got for free ! Most of the people on the planet would think they'd died and gone to heaven with what the "poor" in our country have.
"We can no longer be a nation that overlooks the poor and the suffering," Jakes said, delivering the sermon at the National Cathedral prayer service before Bush spoke. "Katrina, perhaps, she has done something to this nation that needed to be done."
What needs to be done is give these leeches a good kick in the butt and make them productive citizens. This "Poor me I'm poor give me money" mentality needs to stop.
Bush did not directly tie any of the storm relief proposals he offered in his Thursday night address to alleviating poverty and discrimination, nor did he mention a specific plan in Friday's very brief remarks. But his domestic policy adviser, Claude Allen, said two of the new ideas Bush announced Thursday are aimed at addressing poverty and injustice in the affected region: $5,000 grants to pay for worker retraining, education and child care and a plan to let low-income citizens build homes on surplus federal property.
Worker retraining, education and child care and a plan to let low-income citizens build homes on surplus federal property. That's the problem with these people, they don't work. They have the mentality that if you go to school, work hard and get ahead in life you're a sell out and an Uncle Tom. Look at the way they treat Condoleezza Rice !
Bruce Katz, head of the Metropolitan Policy Program at the liberal-leaning Brookings Institution, called the president's set of proposals a missed opportunity on poverty eradication. Instead of a homesteading proposal that he said will have minimal impact, Katz recommended housing vouchers and the building of mixed-income housing.
"We had a city that was terribly poor and locked people into cycles of poverty - this plan will do nothing to change that," he said.
Excuse me Mr. Katz, but hasn't that already been tried over and over again for the last forty years with dismal results ? The reason these people are locked into cycles of poverty is because of asshats like you that empower them to just sit around and resent whitey instead of doing something productive.
I saw a segment on one of those news magazine shows a few years back about the affluent black communities springing up around the country. One family they interviewed quoted their father. He said "Don't sit around waiting for a piece of the pie, go out there and make your own damned pie."
