Title: Looters don't like country
Post by: BTW on September 18, 2005, 12:06:40 PM
>>The Wal-Mart store in uptown New Orleans, built within the last year, survived the storm but was destroyed by looters.

"They took everything - all the electronics, the food, the bikes," said John Stonaker, a Wal-Mart security officer. "People left their old clothes on the floor when they took new ones. The only thing left are the country-and-western CDs. You can still get a Shania Twain album."

Even I would leave a Shania Twain CD. They were probably afraid to take Toby Keith stuff. He'd hunt them down a la Jerry Lee.

Don't pussyfoot around.  Be clear for everyone who doesn't know what you're trying to say (but not quite brave enough to commit to).

Most of the looters were black.

That is a fact.

Do you deny that fact?

Dont *****foot around it.

Yep, the theme of "feel bad racist facts" and "feel good non-racist facts."

Here's the question... Why?

Yep sandman. Why were so many left in the city.  Why did the looters choose to steal non vital items.

Anyone who don't loot Shania Twain album can't really be bad.

MT are you denying that most of the people looting in NO were black?

yes or no

What's your point Grun?  Anyone looking at news coverage can see that.  If a disaster happens in Mexico City, it would be safe to say most of the looting shown would be done by Mexicans right?

EDIT:  Maybe your point is to convey to everyone as many times as possible that the colored folk down in New Orleans have no morals...even in a trivial thread about country music.   Would be more productive to just put it in a signature.

They must have some amazing filters on tv cameras nowadays.  The films shot of people breaking windows and doors, the films of people running down the streets, the film shot inside the stores were almost entirely black people.  The things they were stealing were almost completely non-essentials.  

I guess the cameras filtered out all the white people with some magical software?

Denying reality is like spitting in the wind, it will come back in your face.
