Do most black people believe that Bush ordered the levies in N.O. to be blown up?

I honestly do not know how many Blacks believe that but I know that the levies were never blown up.\n\nIf Bush did not care for the Blacks he would have never appointed Blacks into various positions (Colin and Condi are not the only Blacks he gave jobs to, he's appointed many more Blacks as well to various positions).\n\nIf Bush did not care for Blacks he would have avoided Coretta Scott King's Funeral but in addition to the fact he attended it he actually met with her when she was alive.\n\nStop this Bush is a racist crap people it's totally untrue.

Apparently, 80% of people in NYC believe Bush had something to do with it, either directly or indirectly.\n\nEIGHTY PERCENT!!!! what about when it's 95% ?  100 ?

You would think a lot of Americans think that way with the responses on these pages. The African American and Latino population alone could sway the vote in America. The question is which way are they going to turn after all of the abuse.

Nope, not true.\n\nNationally, blacks are convicted 9.1 times more often than whites.\n\nIf this high rate of black conviction was caused by anti-black conservatism, then the ratio of blacks to whites imprisoned should be highest in Republican strongholds like the Old South. But instead, it is lowest there of any major region. \n\nMississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina are only about six times more likely to convict blacks than whites—just two-thirds of the national average.\n\nIn contrast, by far the greatest racial disparity was found in the most liberal spot on the map: the black-run District of Columbia, where Bush won only nine percent of the vote. Blacks in Washington D.C. are 56 times more likely than whites to wind up in the slammer.

i think it's all wid the idea of if u're not rich u have nothing.balls! the americans  believe they're living the american dream and also racial superiority to a certain extent. humans are greatly moved by sad things so by showing them the harsher things that ppl r gng thru they believe that the un will be sucessful in it's efforts  to help ppl when we all already know that it's just a puppet in the hands of almighty america it can do nothing wrong or even if it does do wrong it's appropriately justified  the blacks have always been deprived of things cuz of their colour and their so called likeness to primates it all a little sadistic pleasure that they derive in showing such images

I could go on for hours but, until most people are educated in history, politics, respect and self worth. That goes for black, and any other race in this country. It's not so much that blacks should be upset with whites because our ancestors  bought them from their own people and now some want everything handed to them along with other financial reparations. It's that, if you look at factual history, all of us (every race) were slaves at one time to some great empire. Blacks were just the last! I do not think it is fair  that Americans should live in a fantasy world and show over 50% blacks in advertising campaigns, music, TV programing when they only make up for 16% of the US population of which that number actually about 11% due to incarceration.

I was sent a video of a black man calling for the blacks to kill all "whiteys".....it is on the internet...why was he allowed to get away with that?\nWhy don't the news guys go hunt him down and make him reveal sources and make them appologise?\nWhy do the blacks feel the need to kill all the whites? Why do black americans feel the need to take over?\nI think maybe it's time to give the other children a chance at scholarships and make the blacks stand in line like the rest.\nIf they want to be equal..lets start now...no favoritism!\nThe entertainers, the newsmen, the actors, the sports players have great paying jobs and they are mostly black now..\n\nwhen will it be enough?

It's a lot of things in play - I cannot write enough to explain the dynamics that made southerners vote for Bush and think that he's protecting the US, but I will try.\n\nI lived and worked in NY on 9/11.  I saw the towers fall.  I now live in the bible belt.\n\nSoutherners are far from NY, although they kept up with the news on 9/11 - they don't quite get the impact of what happened on that fateful day. \n\nI can see why - they do not care for the north.  I have been called Yankee so many times I/m sick of it.  They tell me to discourage Yankees from moving south.  And they have not forgotten they lost the Civil War.\n\nThe military bases are a major source of income and employment and entertainment too (night clubbing)- southern folks are very proud of them. \n\nNYers do not dislike the military but hey do not pay as much attention to the 'uniform' as they do in the south. The military bases are not front and center as they are in the south.\n\nAnd (the most important) Bible Belt means BIBLE.  George Bush knew what he was doing when he made these people feel he was a godly man!  Even blacks in the south voted for him because of his stance on biblical beliefs about homosexuality.\n\nThe citizens in my town (I live in a rural area) believe in an eye for an eye - they wanted revenge for 9/11 and it does not matter which Arab citizen pays.  They do not debate the wisdom in declaring war in Iraq and what it may mean - they would rather enlist and fight whoever they have to.\n\nBush knows these people, he appealed to them and they responded the way he knew they would.

Of course.  These are the same gators that Bush let roam in New Orleans immediately after he blew up the levees in order to kill as many black people as he could.  He has also trained some gators to only attack black women.\n\nThe proof is in the space ship carry Elijah Muhammad.  Don't believe me?  Ask Calipso Louie.

No, I do not trust people who lie to me. \nSaddam is friends with al Quaida\nWMDs known to be pointed at America\n19 Billion of taxpayers money "lost" in Iraq\nThe top 1% of Americans "need" tax cuts\nNo child left behind...right...\nThere is nothing we can do to bring down the price of prescription drugs for everybody in America.\nWho could know that the levies would break in New Orleans?\nWe are not spying on Americans, well...almost.

Of course that is not true. Dissatisfied "blacks" who feel they are not getting "their fair share" of government subsidies have thrown the race card in order to bring attention to their political wants. I find nothing wrong with any group banding together to make real change in government and society but I find this type of political attack most distasteful as it is racist and does no justice to all the efforts of brave Americans who have worked so hard to promote equality. \nBillions of dollars are granted by Congress annually to all parts of America as emergency aid. Someone will always have a hand out saying somebody else got more than them. It's not the president's duty to completely rebuild every life and every home, that's what insurance is for.

No, the truth does not always necessarily find you out, however, in this case it did. We ALL knew the danger the people of NO were being put in when they sent them to the dome.  Of course the president knew. It's just coming to light to the people of the United States? Should have listened to Kanye West if there was ever any doubt...

Actually, believe it or not, there are a few black Republicans out there. I don't understand why they would vote Republican, because it's certainly not in their best interests. I originally come from a small town in Arkansas, and a young black woman from my hometown actually made a speech at the 2004 Republican Convention. When she was asked why she supported Bush, she basically said something along the lines of his being real and upfront. First of all, it seems that she has the wrong impression of Bush. Second of all, she failed to provide any compelling arguments for supporting him, so it makes me wonder if she really knows anything about the Republican Party platform.\n\nThis is really making me scratch my head!

Becuase America need to pay for their crime, because it's over doesn't mean their except from a crime. See it's pride of America everyone like to blame what America and their ancestors did on the "Africans". I guess the Africans killed 100 million blacks on their trip here. I guess the "Africans" shoot them, lynch, burn alive, rape, burn their homes, rob of their nationality, names, culture, customs, religion, and families. I guess the "Africans" call them Nigger, and put hoses on them, sent dogs after them. What about the Africans that put them in iron collars, worked from sun up to sun down, whip, beaten, then poured salt in their wounds, I guess it was the Africans. I could go on and on about what America and white America ancestors did. But they all have too much pride to admit it. They don't tell you that they get to benefit from 400 years of oppression to this day. America will bankrupt just repaying for the millions they kill. They will go bankrupt just for the million they mistreated. And if they have to repay for free labor bankrupt their too. If not the fact that America owe blacks anything it the fact America don't have a right to benefit from it. No one no matter what race should come here are be living off the expense of our ancestors that America still hates. The question is who will blacks back then want to benefit form their expense, everyone or just their descendants.

It's doubtful. First of all, Condi Rice is nothing more than the token Black in his administration. She is nothing more than something he can refer to when he lies and says that his Administration "has given Blacks opportunities". He told this lie at an African American festival in Indianapolis last year. A large number of Blacks living in the neighborhoods behind the Capitol building in Washington will probably dispute this.\nBush is a racist. It was proven by his handling of Katrina and in the fact that he has not attended the NAACP Convention or the National Association of Black Journalists conventions both of which he has received numerous invitations to attend.\nOn the other hand, this racist might have the mentality of some of the slave owners in the pre Civil War South and have decided to experiment with a Black Woman.

Yes. It's crazy of Blair to do that. I think low achievers in any group of people need a persecution-complex to wallow in and even though black slavery was not widespread on the Island of Britain certain blacks in Britain are jealous of the culture of self righteous bitterness that some black Americans immerse themslves in to deflect criticism of underachievement.
