-- Posted by Moonscar at 10:47 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 This thought just randomly came into my head During Hurricane Katrina, I found it wrong that the reporters and such kept calling the black people who were stuck there "refugees". They are American citizens so why did they call them that? I think it shows how we have come this far and some people still don't think of blacks as real citizens.   -- Posted by Joke at 10:48 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 wow you're a boobie! -- Posted by jaysson at 10:48 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 umm random? haha -- Posted by Kankalicious at 10:48 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 Um, they were calling all of the victims that, not just the black people -- Posted by carracer at 10:48 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 I think that everyone that lived in new orleans and lost their homes were called refugees. Because they lost everything and had nowhere to go. It wasn't a racial thing. -- Posted by Special Agent Orange at 10:48 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 anybody can be a refugee, regardless of race. its just another name for someone who has no home. -- Posted by stinaaa at 10:49 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 refugee of the state- trying to flee from disaster.
