I’m going to pray for you.

That’s the most asinine, racist post I’ve read in a long time here.

I certainly hope it’s not deleted.

"That’s the most asinine, racist post I’ve read in a long time here."

I'm assuming you mean his post #130, if so, I have to agree with everything he said, although perhaps he could have chosen kinder words, given the recent tragedy.

I have been to Haiti several times. To describe it as a mess, would be a profound understatement. Haiti, and the Haitian people never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. And, I don't believe it's "racists" to say so - after all, their island neighbors, who are virtually identical in ethnic makeup, do a much, much better job of managing their limited resources.

Haiti's problems are racial, but national - purely national. This latest tragedy is only going to make a miserable country, that much less livable, or even survivable, to be sure.

I respect your opinion, but please tell me or show me how or where I am wrong on the points I have posted?

What was racist about it? He spoke the cold, hard truth. No points for sensitivity during a crisis, sure, but everything he said is still true.

Yours is the hissy fit of a child. Maybe those posts do not belong in a disaster thread, but Haiti is a human disaster, and has been since the Indians were wiped out and became a slave state till this very day.
