In South Los Angeles , a 4-plex was destroyed by a fire.

      A Mexican family of six, all welfare recipients and gang members, lived on the first floor. They died.
     
      An Islamic group of seven welfare cheats, all illegally in the country from Kenya , lived on the second floor, and they, too, all perished in the fire.
     
    6 LA Hispanic gang bangers & ex-cons lived on the 3rd floor and they, too, died.
     
     A lone white couple lived on the top floor. The couple survived the fire.

     Jesse Jackson, John Burris, and Al Sharpton were furious. They flew into LA and met with the fire chief on camera. They loudly demanded to know why the Blacks, Black Muslims, and Hispanics all died in the fire, and why only the white couple survived?
     
     The fire chief said, "They were at work."

This is the kind of crude, racist joke that sometimes makes me embarrassed of my fellow Traditionalists.

Apparently "innocenza" has never heard of "white trash." I have. We had plenty of them where I grew up, and yep, some of 'em were even Catholics. Lazy, rude, dirty, nasty, criminal, and willfully stupid. All with white skin, some even with blonde hair and blue eyes.

I know many Hispanics and Muslims in this country are probably here illegally and many participate in illegal activities and some receive public assistance. This is certainly not true of the majority, however. Most have a job and many immigrants I have met, and yes, illegals too, even work two or three jobs.

The fact that California may be overrun with these welfare cheats and street-corner drug dealers speaks more about the hedonistic, liberal, pleasure-seeking "California dream" promoted by the mass media for more than sixty years now and apparently adopted by no small number of that state's inhabitants.

Our enemies are the liberal-socialist "welfare" system which promotes the "perpetual victim" mentality and encourages people not to work, to crank out fatherless kids in order to get greater benefits, and to become wards of state relief systems and law enforcement agencies; and the big banks and corporations and their cronies who stifle small-business development and private enterprise.

Let's not take our eyes off the ball.

And yes, while I'm up on my  :soapbox:, I believe that Black Americans are victims.

They are the victims of the Democratic Party and its machinations, of crass, self-serving ward bosses and aldermen, not to mention school system superintendents all on the lookout for some gravy from the government chuck wagon; and of the mass media which in its zeal to corrupt and pervert society has promoted the lowest class of ghetto culture, labeled it "Black culture," and therefore "cool," and marketed it all around the world.  Most decent Black folks I know cringe when they see their skin color associated with foul-mouthed comedians, crack addicts, hip-hop artists and unintelligible "jive" talk or whatever they're calling the low-class ghetto dialect these days.

Any attempt by an African-American to break away from this stereotyping, done by liberals and their lackeys in the press and entertainment industry, will get labeled as "Uncle Tom's" and ridiculed on TV, in movies, and in print; Clarence Thomas's and Bill Cosby's travails being cases in point.

Add to that the pernicious influence of "community organizers" who have done more than anyone else to perpetuate the idea of Blacks as the eternal victims of the evil White Man. Before a decent, hard-working Black person can be successful in this country, he has to dig himself out from under several layers of slime deposited on him by all the forces I mentioned above.

This is just my own personal observation and probably not worth more than the few cents it took me to send it out over the Internet, but I've noticed that when African people are bad, they are the worst of the worst; but when they are good, they can be truly outstanding. Some of the Black Trads I have known are amazing Catholics. Truly spiritual Black people often show an admirable level of fearlessness and commitment which I envy. They seem to easily understand the concept of obedience to God's will and submission to His authority. I think there is real potential for evangelization among serious Blacks.

I'm sure the Blacks have a role to play in the Jєωs' scheme to push us all downward in culture and morals.

Likewise, the Blacks have a place in God's plan for the world -- He gave them their own strengths and weaknesses, just like the rest of us.

St. Jude, if you don't mind me saying so, I don't understand how you can get so upset about racial slurs and then in the next breath call Roscoe a "drug-addicted clown".

SJT et al. --

The material on the LA fire was forwarded to me by a fellow Catholic at St. Albert's (knowing that I don't get many emails other than advertisements), after it had been forwarded to him and others by a third party.

So far as I know, it was a real news report.  There were photos included in what I received, but when I highlighted, copied, and pasted, only the text sections  showed up in my cathinfo post.

Had no intention to slur or slander anyone based on ethnicity.  

Is this a joke?  I thought it was a serious article.   :rolleyes: :tinfoil:

I thought it was for real until I saw the laughing emoticons.

It actually made me think "I wish that cabron Sharpton would stay out of Hispanic affairs and playing the CR advocate for us. Im sick of it!".

Im actually glad it's a joke and not for real.
