[ARCHIVED THREAD] - They find the term "Refugee" degrading

Posted: 9/4/2005 3:25:37 PM EDT

The head of the NAACP just said that on NBC news.

They have no money, food, homes and their city has been destroyed.

That pretty much describes a refugee.

They should STFU, they are going to get even more free EVERYTHING as a refugee than they ever did living on Welfare.

The NAACP has to find something to gripe about.

I don't remember them complaining when white people whose homes were destroyed by previous storms were called refugees.

Besides:

ref·u·gee -- n.
One who flees in search of refuge

If simple English offends, then someone needs to unbunch their panties.

You know most of them are not gonna seek employment. Most didnt work in NO why would they bother everywhere else when they could have a free ride for up to 6 months.

The head of the NAACP just said that on NBC news.

"There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs - partly because they want sympathy, partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.

I'm afraid that there is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don't want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public."
~ Booker T. Washington, written in 1911.

that is exactly the correct term for their situation.

more racist bullshit from the naacp and the media.

Now is not the time to be stirring racial tensions for personal gain. People are dying and these idiots are worried about symantics.

That is an outstanding Quote,

You will never hear any of their so-called leaders stand up and quote that in public

sharpton was saying that too, they really know how to focus on the importants aspects of an emergency situation, don't they?

Most of the definitions I found did indeed mention leaving your country as part of the definition, it
doesn't seem to be too much of a stretch to have leaving your state qualify you as a refugee

They find the term 'refugee' degrading because they don't have a decent grasp of the English language.

In the media and intelligencia today Booker T. Washington is considered a "sellout", a "slave-apologist' and an "Uncle Tom" by ALL Black Leaders and Black organizations today.

They worship W.E.B. DuBois - the self-affirmed and openly America-hating COMMUNIST and original race-hustling con-man who rose to the leadership of the national "Black Community" in America in the early 20th Century. He was a virulent opponent of Booker T. Washington, despised Washington's pragmatism and call for black self-reliance and assymilation into American culture.

That's why today, if you say "Booker T. Washington" to a "Black Urban Leader"... they'll spit in your eye and go on a hysterical tirade against him just as if you had mentioned Clarence Thomas or Condi Rice.

Remember when that bureaucrat who worked for the DC got fired because he used the word "niggardly" in a meeting?
