Watch this video from Faux Snooze and see the racism
I am just stunned by this. This is one of the most racist news stories I have ever seen. It is titled "New Orleans Culture: Number of Latino citizens expected to spike during recovery" Watch it and then play it again and just read the captions. Two of my favorites:

Demographics predict New Orleans Hispanic population will soar

Nagin: How can we stop New Orleans from being overrun?

(and of course they NEVER play any film of Nagin saying any such thing)

On the right, go to where it says "Click here for more video" then click on the NO story.

1. How do you force yourself to watch this stuff?
I can't stomach it at all.

3. I was looking for something else
Don't even remember now what it was.

Found this and just freaked.

I admit I do watch Faux now and again. Usually it is humorous. They are so slanted. But this is blatant racism. They are implying that natives from NO who are black are not welcome to return and if they do, there will be no jobs for them. And the Latinos are taking over, so why would anyone else want to go back? Then they try to hang it on the mayor. It is repulsive.

Hey are we still belly dancing tonite?

I am trying to get ahold of Johnalita to see if she wants to come.

5. Dish TV recently started running Faux.
I'm going to put a parental block on it.

Yes, still belly dancing tonight. The camera is charged and the memory cards are ready.
The more the merrier!

6. That's what I did. I put the parental block on it not long
after viewing it for about a day or two. I was thinking it would get better, but it never did. Adios Faux.

10. I did. Ha.
Luckily, I only blocked out channels I hate anyhow. Besides, I am back on basic cable now. We luckily aren't subjected to Faux. I'm happy about that, but I miss CNN.

Be nice to me and I will tell you about it.

It's the least you can do, after all, I am watching Faux Snooze for you.

9. Okay, I'll try.
You're one of the coolest people I know. How's that?
The meds make me dizzy, so you've got me at a disadvantage.
