Condi : Katrina 'gives us an opportunity' to rectify historic injustices..
Edited on Mon Sep-12-05 07:18 PM by jefferson_dem
sludgebucket reporting --

Condoleezza Rice says in interview set for Tuesday Katrina 'gives us an opportunity' to rectify historic injustices that she personally experienced as an African American growing up in the South. 'When it's rebuilt, it should be rebuilt in a different way than it was at the time that this happened' ... there could be an effort to 'deal with the problem of persistent poverty'...

NO *REAL* LINK YET

I must admit...this is a promising statement <duck and cover> but we'll have to see it in context, of course.

2. RIGHT! There will be no poor people living there any more! They
will have been shipped to ghettos all over the country and only rich white folks will be able to afford to live in the developments that will be built on the land.

3. Did her family make $8k/year?
No, wait, she grew up the daughter of a minister, went to music camp, then to the school where her daddy was an assistant dean (U of Denver).

Yes, poor child grew up in poverty.

4. Fool me once...won't get fooled again....
Is there anyone in America who would fall for this one? As they siphon off hundreds of millions more dollars through Halliburton and Jos Allbaugh. As they reduce wages to slave labor levels. They should die a natural death--eaten by the most painful cancer eating their bones.

"land, and the GOP will control their wages. The poor black folks can help by getting jobs in oil companies under slave labor.

It sure helped me, way better than those damn federal democrat programs!"

7. Give the corporations more power
Cut taxes for the rich and regulations on corporations and they will magically fix the problem.

8. In other words, "Displace the poor people"
If the poor are out of sight, then they are out of mind, right Condi?

12. The statement is pure bullshit. "Built in a different way?"
I bet I know what that statement means. She didn't have to wait for Katrina to want to do something about persistent poverty. All she has to do is look at the policies of this administration that are putting more and more people in ranks of the poor. We all know what they are. I am too drained to list them.

17. What the Hell is she TALKING about??
That would be the first time the words, "Historic Injustices" came out of her mouth, that's for damn sure. How are you going to build a city so that the poor aren't poor anymore Condi? Leave them out of it all together. I can't WAIT to see what Republicans feel is a fair shake to the impoverished community in New Orleans.

I cannot stand that woman. I really, really can't.

16. Princess Ferragamo's brave new hood
By this, I surmise she aims to build it without the poor people - an excellent way to eliminate poverty.
If the well-healed princess really had any humanity, she would renounce the crimes that have been caused under her watch, in our name.
It's interesting how all of the ruling fascists have their own particular talking points - probably all specifically created for them by the soon-to-be indicted spin meister, rove. For the vactioning shoe maven, let's not forget about the "african-american" experience - as if she has a clue.
Speaking about the vacations - everyone knows by now that all of the heavyweights in this admin. were out of touch when Katrina hit. How many of you get to leave your job without anyone covering for you? But the fake pres., vp, secretary of state, and secretary of defense all can go off at the same time. What a croc.

18. Gives who an opportunity?
The neocons to own a piece of the country so steeped in culture and tradition that they just have to destroy it by turning it into another Orlando, FL?

20. More horseshit from CondiLiar.
But after a decade of improvement in the 1990s, poverty in America is actually getting worse. A rising tide of economic growth is no longer lifting all boats. For the first time in half a century, the third year of a recovery (2004) also saw an increase in poverty. In a nation of nearly 300 million people, the number living below the poverty line ($14,680 for a family of three) recently hit 37 million, up more than a million in a year.
