This was the week when we turned a major American city into Haiti, and racism put its hand out and started to choke a nation, and it may not let go.

Correction:
This was the week when a major American city demonstrated to the world what a hellhole it really was, and black racists put out their hands and started to choke, rape and murder people who were mainly white.

Amazing how stress makes one's true nature show. Some of us find out we are heroes. Some of us find out we are vile. But I can't recall any disaster that turned up this much scum.

We're really fortunate this did't spread to L.A. That's the danger when these people spout this hate speech. I wish we could silence them. L.A. is always an incident away from a riot. I hate to say this, but N.O. outdid them this time.

Check out this interview with Ted Rall

http://www.tedrall.com/inter04.htm

Tedrall: I think that punk's biggest effect so far has been to change
Tedrall: the way its fans think about themselves.
MnrThrt: so you look at it as more personal than macro?
Tedrall: I don't think it's going to send people to the barricades to
Tedrall: string up CEOs or anything. Unfortunately.
MnrThrt: no punks rising up and anarchist revolutions?
Tedrall: Yeah, definitely, it's a personal thing. It's not a mass
Tedrall: movement, anyway...not enough people listen to punk.
MnrThrt: straight edge on the other hand...
Tedrall: It would be nice if it happened.
Tedrall: What I think is that at some point there will be a
Tedrall: revolutionary uprising. At that time a lot of people will
Tedrall: come together to fight, and many of them will be people
Tedrall: influenced by punk ideology. That's why they won't have
Tedrall: bought into the system.
MnrThrt: how about the idea of a race war in the US?--most punks
MnrThrt: will be out of luck!
Tedrall: A race war would be bad news, especially since I'd want to side
Tedrall: with the non-whites...and they'd want to kill me!
MnrThrt: exactly
MnrThrt: I'd just have to hide out
Tedrall: But I think race, gender and other politics of division are
Tedrall: mere distractions from class differences.
MnrThrt: it's all economic?
Tedrall: In the end, the only difference between people is whether or
Tedrall: not they have money.
MnrThrt: I would hope the "war" breaks up like that..
