America, the promised land

[HeavyMetal]

A black congresswoman (this would be Sheila Jackson Lee, of Houston), reportedly complained that the names of hurricanes are all Caucasian sounding names. She would prefer some names that reflect African-American culture such as Chamiqua, Tanisha, Woeisha, Shaqueal, Livronia and Jamal. (I am NOT making this up!) She would also like the weather reports to be broadcast in 'language' that street people can understand because one of the problems that happened in New Orleans was that black people couldn't understand the seriousness of the situation, due to the racially biased language of the weather report.

I guess if the weather person says that the winds are going to blow at 140+ MPH, that's too hard to understand.

And yes, its true. http://www.snopes.com/racial/language/hurricane.asp

I feel as though using the facepalm smiley doesnt even approach what is needed to communicate the 'wanna punch this woman in the face 3093 times until she turns to dust' smiley I need.
