I'm Still Behind My President

Just because George W. Bush values the lives of black and brown people less than those of whites doesn't make him a bigoted racist. Just because he considers the value of whites' lives superior doesn't mean he's a white supremacist.

One myth is that Mr. Bush didn't do everything in his power to save the people of New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina because many of those people are black. That's totally false! He didn't do anything because many of those people are not white. Mr. Bush doesn't see your skin color, he only sees what your skin color is not.

Also, Mr. Bush is not a bigoted racist because he didn't come to the aid of non-black groups of people before, during, and after Hurricane Katrina as well. He didn't save some white people living in Mississippi because they were poor. I mean, it's very simple logic here.

Immigration is really an easy issue to disprove Mr. Bush's bigoted racism. He doesn't want Mexican immigrants to get rid of their skin color. That's ridiculous. He just wants you to get rid of any semblance of your culture because he believes it's inferior to WASP culture. Where's the racism in that?

The war in Iraq has nothing to do with race either. Iraqis' lives are just as important as those of Americans. Any conservative knows that. They can estimate to within 1,000 the number of American lives lost. But they can also do the same for Iraqi lives lost (without looking at my post giving those tragic numbers)... even though the American military doesn't even really know the number. But Mr. Bush correctly figures that no one cares, Iraqis are brown people and are not Christian. Doesn't make him a bigoted racist.

Wait... what does bigoted racist mean?
