Calling Katrina survivors ‘refugees’ stirs debate – Hurricane Katrina – MSNBC.com (http://www NULL.msnbc NULL.msn NULL.com/id/9232071/?BlogThisQuoting=bq):

“It is racist to call American citizens refugees,” the Rev. Jesse Jackson said, visiting the Houston Astrodome on Monday. Members of the Congressional Black Caucus have expressed similar sentiments.

Jesse Jackson has never seen a word he didn’t like to call racist. This man, who portrays himself as a man of God, is probably the most divisive man in the country. He sits between the TV and the phone and just waits for a chance to use one to complain about the other, hoping to spew the word “racist” at the drop of an adverb.

Language is descriptive but also alive and generational. Each new generation seems to think the terms common among the last generation are not fit for their own generation. Soon, we will be out of combinations of letters to describe each other.

I therefore put forth that from now on those displaced in the aftermath of Katrina be called “DISCOKATs,” short for “DISplaced in their own COuntry by KATrina.” I will also no longer allow myself to be referred to by the racial slur “white,” and will forthwith be described as “Scottish-Slavik-English-Irish-Deutsch-Nordic-and a few other hyphens-American!”

Peace,
Wisdom
