Did anyone hear him say:

"These people are so poor and are so black."

Seriously... WTF?

You think that statement is wrong?

Is the color of their skin worth noting?

If this was Beverly Hills, would he say:

"These people are so wealthy and are so white."

No.

Without the context of the statement, it's hard to really have any kind of opinion about it.

They were showing a lot of refugees on the screen and that's what he said.

No other context.

Why skin color was brought up, is just... mind boggling.

That's pretty much what I was thinking. Sounds to me like he might have been trying to garner some sympathy but the words just didn't come out right. Still, I'm watching the T.V. now and 99.9% of what I'm seeing is poor Black people. Like it or not, he's reporting the facts.

I find it very hard to believe that he would just make that statement without it being linked to some related discussion about race.

But I didn't see it.

maybe so Ice but what is "so black"?

I think it could have been worded different. It was just a mistake, I imagine.

I agree it was really unnecessary to say something like that. I guess he just didn't know how to phrase that properly. Maybe he meant to say that the majority were black.

Hey! he got you all talking, isn't that what the networks want?

He was pointing out that all the refugess are black and poor and trying to discuss the class and racial implication of that...

There is merit to line of thinking...but he must have never been to fucking New Orleans though....New Orleans has a huge Black Population...they are easily the majority in the city, it makes sense that refugees would represent that.

Yep. Probably just a mistake. No big deal to me.

I've got no problem with those that are stuck and are "borrowing" some food, water, and other necessites to survive. I'd be doing the same damn thing if I were stranded next to a damn Wal-Mart. But if there really are people who are breaking into abandoned homes and stealing tv's n'shit, those people just need to be shot on sight.

There are people hi-jacking cars and shooting at the ambulances and helicopters....

The looting and lawlessness is forcing the police and military to focus on maintaining order rather than rescuing people...

Why would people shoot at ambulances and helicopters? I haven't heard any of that on the news.

Then I feel bad for him for that.

I still don't like the way he badgers people he interviews. Too much grandstanding.

Maybe his emotions play a part in that.

It's funny...I always hated his ass until this event....

When he was having to deal with all those people on the bridge that didn't know where to go he was choking up and you could see him being overwhelmed by the situation and sense of helplessness...I was impressed by that for some reason. But I totally understand why you don't like him. He does come off as a grandstander and full of himself often.

Well I can understand it a little more, all things considered.

On a similar note, did you see Robin Roberts on GMA break down while talking about her family in Mississippi? Moving.

No...Robin Roberts? I haven't even seen her in years since she used to do NFL Gameday...What Channel is she on now? I always liked her...Gameday was never the same after she left.

She's on ABC now. I'm not sure what her exact role is... I've seen her anchoring some and doing field reporting, but I don't really watch ABC News all that much.

Yeah, I saw her. It was very moving.

The devastation is beyond belief.

The news just said that part of the problem with the looters is that there is no jail to put them in...so all they can do is make them drop stuff.

Dude also said that the Police aren't able to get food or water either and aren't getting any sleep or rest, many of them have been up for over 24 hours...

Total fucking disaster.
