"Black Hurricanes"
Well, it appears our African-American friends have found yet something else to be pissed about.
A black congresswoman (this would be Sheila Jackson Lee, of Houston) reportedly complained that the names of hurricanes are all Caucasian-sounding names.
She would prefer some names that reflect African-American culture such as Chamiqua, Tanisha, Woeisha, Shaqueal, and Jamal. I am NOT making this up!
She would also like the weather reports to be broadcast in 'language' that street people can understand, because one of the problems that happened in New Orleans was that black people couldn't understand the seriousness of the situation, due to the racially biased language of the weather report.
Huh? Well, I guess if the weather person says that the winds are going to blow at 140+ MPH, that's too hard to understand, right?
I can hear it now: A weatherman in New Orleans says...
"Wazzup, mutha-fukkas! Hehr-i-cane Chamiqua be headin' fo' yo' ass like Leroy on a crotch rocket! Bitch be a category fo'!
So, turn off dem chitlins, grab yo' chirren, leave yo' crib, and head fo' de nearest FEMA office fo' yo' FREE shit!"

Here's something else she said.
On a visit to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Lee, a member of the House Science Committee's space subcommittee, asked if the Mars Pathfinder had taken an image of the flag Neil Armstrong planted there in 1969!

I am profoundly offended by this topic and its posts this is whats wrong with the world!
stereotyping + ignorance = prejudice
stupid breeds stupid people!!!
"Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true."

"people in the government are freaking idiots"
I concur, but should we try to "dumb down" the rest of the african-american race.
hell look at our Commander in Chief and all the dumb A$$ sh!t he's said...
all I'm really trying to get out of this is for intelligent human beings to look beyond the simple teachings of there parents (or lack there of) and grow to something more than insignificant bigot.
