Who voted for this chick?? Why??

[Bobby]

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, has detected racial discrimination in the naming of Hurricanes. She says names like Hurricane Andrew, Hurricane Sam and Hurricane Wanda are just too white and, "all racial groups should be represented."

[Bobby]

Funny thing is I wonder how many of you guys actually agree with her. Don't black folk have enough negativity?

She needs to be more worried about how to defeat Bush instead of silly ass shit like this.

Just add DA or LA to the beginning and IKA, ISHA or IQUA to the end and there you go!

Disparity corrected. graemlins/rofl.gif

this is a joke right??!! if not, she's got way too much time on her hands. correct me if i'm wrong, but tropical storms are usually named after the first meteorologist who spots it (or that person's mother or kid or something). maybe she should found and fund a scholorship for African American college kids studying meteorology and geological sciences. another case of intelligent black people misdirecting their resources and energies graemlins/jpshakehead.gif

but of course if it gets us a "hurrican bonequisha," i am alllll for it!!!!

Here's some info on naming hurricanes.

Personally, I don't know how folk would react if there was a Hurricane Shakema or Hurricane Malik. Just my point of view. Peace.

By the way, Ms. Lee sits on the seat of the late, great Barbara Jordan. Ms. Lee was one of the ones who strongly supported Clinton during impeachment, who should have gotten a higher Democratic Congressional leadership position because of it!

But, y'all know the deal. As Sal would say, "Mookie, there'll always be a place for you". But with no awards. Peace.

BONEQUISHA. Wow.
