She didn't even know a hurricane had hit it, let alone the fact that is practically doesn't exist anymore. Yet her only comment was, "Darn it, I wanted to go on vacation there in the near future."

Poor black people roaming around in gangs shooting at rescuers and trying to rape survivors while looting stores and saying things to the press like "We're just getting back at society for all of the oppression over the years." (A black guy actually said that, though that's not a direct quote. I can't remember his precise wording.)
Racist? No way. Not me or the rest of the people watching all of this unfold.

Well now, seeing exactly how our own are... why the hell would we want to take care of them in the first place? Cleanse the gene pool I saytheacoustician said:No the entire world thinks we're retards and racists because we "can't take care of our own".
