In the world of Reverend Jackson racism is everywhere, including which words the media uses to describe people who left New Orleans and are living outside the state. Maybe Jesse should direct more of his brain power to helping people instead of reading the paper and watching TV to look for signs of racism.

Actually I don't think refugee is the right word either, but not for racial reasons.

According to the Reverend Jackson, "It is racist to call American citizens refugees."

I suggest we call them "residentially-challenged", then.

I guess Foreigner was being really racist when they sang about not wanting to live like a refugee.

Fellow Freepers:

At the suggestion of writer Michelle Malkin last Friday, I have cobbled together a blogsite called Texas Clearinghouse for Katrina Aid to serve as a clearinghouse for refugee efforts in Texas.

Texas is getting more refugees than any other state -- that's fine, we'll take them all -- but we need help providing them with food, clothing, medicine, and shelter. We need help taking care of their pets, too.

If you are a refugee, you can information that will help you find relief. If you want to donate or volunteer, you can find someone who needs you. Believe me, there are a lot of organizations who need your help.

Right now the site mostly covers Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas but I'm adding more every night. My wife was down at Reunion Arena in Dallas Tuesday handing out care packages and spiritually ministering to the refugees as a representative of her employer. She says that the situation is tragic and that there's a lot of work to be done. There are so many children who don't know where their parents are or even if their parents are still alive.

There are a lot of churches and other organizations in Texas that need help in dealing with the problem and I would appreciate it if you would get the word out.

Many thanks,

Michael McCullough
