From The Huffington Post:

"It is reported that black hurricane victims in New Orleans have begun eating corpses to survive. Four days after the storm, thousands of blacks in New Orleans are dying like dogs. No-one has come to help them.

I am a sixty-four year old African-American."

Postscript: Readers, please note that on September 3rd I published an entry stating "I doubt the veracity of Mr. Robinson's comments".

What if it were the San Francisco Bay Area

A friend e-mailed "Just think what the Christian right leaders would have said if Katrina had swept through the San Francisco Bay area! Punishment for decadent, immoral life style."

Yes, I can imagine Falwell, Robertson and others having a grand time on the pulpits.

It's silly.

Huffington Post.
