Anyone whose primary accomplishment in office is the appointment of two rabidly anti Affirmative Action Supreme Court justices puts themself in the position of having to deal with being labeled a racist. A guy who, as Governor of Texas, oversees the execution of an undebatably mentally incompetent African American makes it easy to call them a racist. A person who admits to being stunned by the poverty in New Orleans opens himself up to legitimate questions about whether or not he gives the first damn about people of color. He was what he was. A pampered halfwit born with a silver boot in his mouth, raised in such bastions of diversity as his family's estates in the northeast and Texas. I don't blame him for not having the first clue about the plight of minorities in this country. He had cocaine to snort, Air Guard responsibilities to shirk, and baseball teams to help guide to mediocrity in his formative years. He didn't have time to take a look at the world around him.

I must admit that when I visited New Orleans (pre Katrina) one of the first things I noticed was the disparity between the poor and those with money. It gives one the impression that there is no middle class there (although I know there is). I was astonished at the poverty stricken areas so close to Bourbon Street, walk a few blocks down and you can literally see the lights from inside houses showing between the cracks in the old clap board homes.

I was astonished by the poverty there but I can assure you I am in no way shape or form a racist.

The very fact poverty is somehow inextricably tied to race in the first place is pretty dubious. There's lots and LOTS of white people living in absolute squalor out there. I've been through parts of rural AR and appalachia where I guarantee conditions are worse than what you saw in NO.

Yeah, because diverting attention and resources to a campaign whose only real purpose was his family's vindication and spending dollars that could have been used to improve a decrepit infrastructure are nver harmful to an economy.

I see. So if we didn't have the iraq war clearly that money would have gone to infrastructure and other ways to help the economy. Nice to see you still believe in the tooth fairy.

who says it's tied to race? it's not as though bush said that black people living in mcmansions in atlanta are living in squalor.

What is so great about Affirmative Action? As for capital punishment, anyone who commits a heinous crime should be put six feet under.

Wow, sure enough. I can't believe I fudged Memphis with New Orleans. Thanks for catching that one.

Many parts of Memphis are pretty damn decrepit, too. New Orleans, however, has to be the most poverty-stricken city in the U.S., at least out of the cities I've visited. If not for the French Quarter, New Orleans would have no redeeming characteristics.
