Jim Writes:

"Apparently Tide and the St. Bernard Project(s) ? are helping St. Bernard's
darker brethren. Are they helping any of the lighter-shaded folks? --Jim"

Jer responds:

You're correct, Jim and furthermore, I doubt it.. There is HEAVY BIAS
endorsed by the Hollywood crowd (Brad Pitt), and many other celebrities who
choose to discount St. Bernard Parish's mild and meek. Even beyond this,
rappers and New Orleans musicians are choosing the dark persuasion in St.
Bernard Parish as they are viewed as the "hopeless, the destitute, the
"backbone of New Orleans culture" that should not go un-noticed (and in the
process all others ultimately do!).

It's unfair treatment to ignore St. Bernard Parish's real backbone due to a
natural catastrophe. In fact, it's inhumane passing favoritism to someone
who "looks destitute" or doesn't fit the correct mold of a Katrina Victim as
portrayed on national TV during and now after the sad event.

If the fair persuasion in New Orleans and areas surrounding would have been
singled out as the "true victims" (as is now and in the past has been given
to the darker crowds), there would have been marches which has never been
seen in the media. That's the honest truth, the whole truth and nuttin' but
da truth!

Bias, it's a great liberal term for promoting the liberal agenda, the social
injustice for one culture over another and a blame game that will never ease
(much less alleviate) racial disharmonic balances that have historically
occurred this past 160 years). Since when has all of the other cultures NOT
struggled? Lastly, manufacturers who support reverse racism and prejudice
are indeed ethically wrong for leaving other cultures out of the "natural
equation" which is needed for social harmony--a discredit on their part
because of their tunnel-vision. Mr. Diggs, we're sure will not feel guilty
for hand-pickin'. Perhaps if a Spanish, Viet, European-American and others
were "displayed gracefully in the liberal media", there would have been
shown a real effort to heal. Again, the majority (in this case, St. Bernard)
is bypassed as true victims of this tragedy.

If ALL are treated in the appropriate way, there could be peace at our
Blessed Christmas and beyond.

Until all are treated fairly, none are treated fairly.

I'm dying if I'm lying.
