I find it appalling that those freeloading, inept, moronic, corrupt thieves currently in “charge” of the Haitian government think they can take our United States citizens and imprison them for no reason at all. Shows how much Barack Obama scares them. He has done nothing or said nothing, oh yeah, I guess he wouldn’t, they are white Christians. As much as I couldn’t stand George Bush I can’t see another country doing this to us when he was in charge, especially when the U.S. is helping Haiti at this level. Just thumbing their nose at us like every other tinpot dictator in the world. Maddening!!!

Update IV reminds me of an old Nipsey Russel joke: All men are brothers under the skin, Of that there is no doubt. Then go back under the skin, she said, And bring your brother out. I believe the Steve Sailer piece you're looking for is "Where Dawkins Fears To Tread: Ethnic Nepotism And The Reality Of Race."

“Relief workers began handing out women-only food coupons, launching a new phase of what they hope will be less cutthroat aid distribution” Which means that we now have “Meals on wheels” when the women pick up and deliver the food to the waiting robbers outside. Only forced segregation by the military that were sent in will make that work and I have my doubts then.

Actually Van Wijk, you and Ilana are wrong. The propaganda oragans would not highlight those stories because the goal is to always show blacks as helpless.

I’m sure that there are families that do, you just never hear of them. Perhaps it’s not news worthy. Sounds like you're in denial. If black couples were doing what you're so sure they are doing, our propaganda organs would be singing their praises, as Ilana said. It is only natural to feel affinity for one's race and heritage. For non-whites, this is the way it's always been and always will be. Ask yourself, why is it that only whites are expected to be colorblind? Because the prevailing wisdom is that white civilization is uniquely guilty and unworthy of love, and many whites have internalized this proposition. Colorblindness is wholly artificial; it's a pipe dream born of white guilt. Non-whites will have none of it. While everyone may have the same color blood, a sample will tell the forensic scientist exactly what race and heritage you are (the same goes for bone structure). Stereotypes survive the ages because they contain a kernel of truth. Race differences are fundamental, not cosmetic.

There's a bit more to race than skin color.

I’m not sure if it is a bias, Ilana. It is more of a curiosity. I read stories and see the videos, but never seem to see or read about black families that adopt orphans from places like Haiti or Africa. I’m sure that there are families that do, you just never hear of them. Perhaps it’s not news worthy. More likely, the families don’t want publicity. I guess my point was, when “the white community” does something nefarious, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Jeremiah Wright jump on it with both feet and wagging tongues. I, quite frankly, am tired of the skin color proposition. Everyone has the same color blood. Everyone that I know came into this world the same way. Everyone I know will leave this world the same way. Life and death know no color. It happens to all humans. Skin pigmentation should be irrelevant, but it isn’t. I was just railing that the “so called” black leadership is strangely silent on the tragedy in Haiti.

Isn’t a shame that someone like Robin Roberts who has so much, isn’t featured as adopting orphan Haitian children. Your question is a good one, Where is the black community when it comes to these acts of love and charity? I know that somewhere, there are black families with love, compassion and charity, but you never hear of them. Where are the Obamas’? Where are the Jesse Jacksons’? Where are the Al Sharptons’? Where are the Jeremiah Wrights’? Where are the “so-called” leaders of the black community?

[You make like “you never hear from them” b/c of some bias or something.]

Taking it a step further, where are the stories of the oil rich Nigerians, Gabonese, etc stepping up to help their racial brothers? I know most Nigerians are not rich. But they couldn’t have a few bake sales in Lagos to raise some money? The Bahamas is one of the wealthiest per-capita black nations in the world. How many Bahamians are stepping up to the plate to take in Haitian orphans? But I’m supposed to feel guilty?

For those who wish to denounce Western Culture (admittedly, not perfect) – here is a sad story about how things work in that idyllic continent known as Africa:
