Yes, this detail....highwayman said:
"What responsibilty are you referring to?"
I'm not really sure what you consider dirt....is that dirt? I read the article and the two previous posts several more times and couldn't find any mention of someone not taking responsibility and then blaming someone/something.
It would be pretty strange for you to post a comment saying someones not taking responsibility if the person or the responsibility wasn't mentioned in the article or previous posts.
Ok, so you're talking about displaced Katrina victims....should I have known? I can't find any mention of displaced Katrina victims in the article either so this is a bit confusing.
He should think I've seen it...but you don't think I have? What a strange thing to be conjecturing about in the first place.Gonz said:
I can't find where it says that either. What paragraph is it in? Is everybody reading the same article?Winky said:
Sorry to piss you off but I still haven't noticed it. Tell me where it is and I'll check it out right away.Gato said:

Just read the article one more time and still can't find anything where "it subsumes ALL folks of colour are poor".
Seems kind of weird that Gato is pissed at me for not noticing it. Even if I could find it I'm not sure why he thinks I have some sort of assignment regarding it. If I do nobody told me.

Wow, this thread is making people act a little wacky.Gato said:
So you quoted this mystery statement of Winky's but you were referring to another sentence that you didn't mention and were pissed at me for not noticing it. That's a tough one.
I did not know about any assignment involving noticing sentences about SUV's and bling so there's no reason to be pissed.
...and just out of curiosity did you find the part of the article Winky is talking about?

So you'd agree that people of "col-ah" are sub-standard
human beings then eh' Flavo?
Personally I've met many folks with more melanin in their skin
that were far better people than I.
So yo'd admit to being a racist then eh' Flavo?
A reverse racist?
How aboot you take that entire article and change it
around making Caucasians the subject?
Would it seem fitting?
-------------------------------
Actually HOLY-CRAP!!! in changing around that
article I really had to read it!!! Good Gawd!
Not only is the grammar and sentence structure atrocious
but it is so clearly commie AND racist
that anyone with half a brain should be pissed.
(racist Flav's excluded of course).

Global Warming Could Spell Disaster for Whites
By Bruce Britt
Posted Jan. 18, 2006 – If you thought Hurricane Katrina was a once-in-a-lifetime fluke, think again. Concerned environmentalists say that unless the United States gets real about the threat of global warming, Americans of Northern European descent and other people of without color can expect a repeat of disasters like Katrina.
“When you look at the trends and put them all together, it’s undisputable that the sea levels are rising,” says Joe Miller, director of the Environmental Justice and Climate Change Initiative (EJCC). “Warmer seas mean more intense hurricanes…. You’re going to have intense flooding like we have never seen before. Katrina is really the hurricane of the future.”
Bad News for Whites
Environmentalists blame the fierce new storms on global warming – the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans. Scientists attribute the phenomenon to gases produced by fossil fuels like gasoline, petroleum and coal. Though critics dismiss global warming as junk science, reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) have continually found a discernable human influence on world temperatures.
That’s bad news, especially for Americans of Northern European descent. Citing Katrina as a case-in-point, some environmentalists say global warming impacts majorities and the advantaged harder than other groups. If global warming gets worse, many Americans of Northern European descent communities will be more vulnerable to breathing ailments, insect-carried diseases and heat-related illness and death. But asking White folks to give up gas-guzzling SUV’s and other bling is a tough sell.
“It has been ingrained in our heads that to be anything, you must have everything,” says EJCC steering committee member Nia Robinson. “Because some of us have a big car and a nice house, people aren’t seeing that racism still exists. But Katrina showed that racism is alive and well in America. Now that people have that idea, I think we’re in a really critical stage to organize, educate and mobilize people.”
Pollution Worse for Us
Relatively, Whites are environmental Good Samaritans. Per capita, we emit approximately 20 percent less carbon dioxide than (other people?) – well below 2020 targets set by the U.S. Climate Stewardship Act. Not only do we use more energy-conserving public transportation, we spend considerably less per capita on energy-intensive material goods.
Yet Whites are exposed to worse air pollution than (other people?) in every major metropolitan area. Some charge that the Bush administration has made matters worse by creating new policies, like the Clear Skies Act and the Healthy Forest Initiative, that allow utilities and industries to pollute more. President Bush enraged environmentalists when he opted out of the Kyoto protocol global warming treaty, saying it would harm the U.S. economy.
Critics say the result of these policies could be catastrophic. “By mid-century, we’re looking at the entire Antarctic ice shelf melting,” Miller says. “That could send warmer water throughout… which will have a freezing effect in the Northern European countries. We’re already looking at a number of low-lying areas being completely submerged by sea-level rise. It’s kind of scary.”
Toward a solution, Miller says America must conform with international protections while reducing fossil fuel use. She hopes that the U.S. begins aggressively fining polluters and investing the resulting funds towards sustainable alternatives.
“Katrina showed us that we don’t know how to deal with (environmental disasters),” Miller says. “We really need to make sure that we have mechanisms, escape routes and policies in place that are going to protect those who are most vulnerable.”

I would be absolutely slaphappy with merriment if I could just see the chain of logic that you used to get to that sentence. Seriously.Winky said:

I believe he got that from the following line...
The areas that got the most damage were the low-income and black sections. This, in and of itself, is pretty damning on the author. Hell, poor white folks were swept up in Katrina as well, but you don't hear about them.
When you saw them taking things out of the local stores, they were foraging, remember?
