Comments on: Do Blacks fault the President more for Katrina because they’re Black? http://www.notesofintelligence.com/2005/12/27/do-blacks-fault-the-president-for-katrina-more-because-theyre-black/ Tue, 06 Jan 2009 15:34:04 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Rio Flores http://www.notesofintelligence.com/2005/12/27/do-blacks-fault-the-president-for-katrina-more-because-theyre-black/#comment-1427 Rio Flores Fri, 02 Feb 2007 19:43:56 +0000 http://www.notesofintelligence.com/2005/12/27/do-blacks-fault-the-president-for-katrina-more-because-theyre-black/#comment-1427 "It is akin to asking whether Jews in Germany didn’t like Hitler because he was responsible for killing them " That's a ridiculous comparison. The failed relief efforts in New Orleans did not subject to African Americans to a direct, intentional, racially targeted, systemic campaign of subjugation and de-humanization that drove toward genocide. They were the subject of gross neglect. Comparing a direct, intentional effort to kill people as quickly and efficiently as possible to horribly failed attempt to help people is absurd. That's like arguing that a bumbling, idiot CEO is the same thing as trying to kill his employees. Furthermore, I'm not saying that the people have no reason to question or fault Bush, instead I'm suggesting that they disliked Bush just as much before Hurricane Katrina hit. (As they should have) Please show a better understanding of subject materials before you put forward your absurd comparisons. “It is akin to asking whether Jews in Germany didn’t like Hitler because he was responsible for killing them ”

It is akin to asking whether Jews in Germany didn't like Hitler because he was responsible for killing them or if they just didn't like the doctrine of National Socialism. Please show some consideration, or at least respect, in the future.
