A quick thought.
George Allen's macaca moment is old news, but this came across Bloglines this morning:
COUSHATTA -- Nine black children attending Red River Elementary School were directed last week to the back of the school bus by a white driver who designated the front seats for white children.
CBS' plan to segregate next season's Survivor teams by race and pit them against each other disturbs me, but when I saw this last night, I stopped dismissing Liz's Bushworld-banishing mantra of "Vancouver."
Limbaugh handicapped races in new Survivor series, suggested "African-American tribe" worst swimmers, Hispanics "will do things other people won't do."
For reasons I don't completely understand, my mind wants to connect all of the above to the upcoming Katrina anniversary.
Can someone please shake me awake?
