Reply #7: Not only can the Haitians not afford to eat, but they have to

[tblue37]

try to calm their hunger pains by eating "dirt cookies." There was a time when we would send food to a country if we heard the people, especially the children, had to eat dirt because they were in such pain from hunger! But of course we are the same country that didn't even bother to send water, much less food, to people who were suffering and dying as the administration allowed one of our own major cities to be wiped out.

Hmmm. You don't suppose the fact that Haitians are Black and many of those displaced by Katrina are Black might have something to do with the country's willingness to "let them eat cake"--or dirt cookies?
