"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.

Given past history how many of these Haitians will hit the boats and come to the US. They will be admitted on a “temporary” humanitarian basis, a la Central Americans fleeing the war and Hurricane Andrew, but we all know “temporary” is gobspeak for permanent.
