Reply #29: This burns me...

"Alva, a 51-year-old grandmother from New Orleans East, remembers, “When we were taken to the higher ground in Jefferson Parish, what did we have to greet us? A line of military police with M-16 rifles. They watched us, caged us, laughed at us, took pictures of us with their camera-phones. I saw a young man get down on his knees and beg for water for his little baby, and I saw the child die right there on the concrete. This was murder. They wanted us dead. They just didn't think so many of us would survive."

Yep, racism is still alive and burning well. I wonder how many whites wished that slavery was still around... I am not saying that all whites think this way... No wonder Bush and Co. wanted to squelch this. But as my mom would say... this is probably not new.

As for the camps... it could be true, perhaps America is entering a dark age?
