Not hating, Just stating…

It is 5 AM & I am FIRED UP!

I was watching my normally fair & balanced NBC 4 News. They were discussing the serious flooding in the midwest as they showed miles and miles of homes and buildings under water and a handful of older white people. I found myself wondering: “where are the surivors?  Why aren’t they calling those people refugees?” I wondered if these people got more advanced notice of the levees breaking or had the means to leave their homes or any number of things. I know there aren’t as many people per square mile in Whatdafuk, Missouri as there are or WERE in New Orleans, but what happened to those people? In the next story, I got my answer, KIND OF…

The next story was about shovings that took place in Milwaukee between people who misheard that there would be free food vouchers given out for people who lost food in the floods. 2 questions: Milwaukee flooded? Why are you SHOVING?

They show the lines and all of the people are black. WHY is this NEWS? Why is this the story you show after showing the LAKE that is Smalltown, Missouri? WHY hadn’t I heard anything about anything happening in black areas of the midwest up until now? WHY am I so surprised?

I am about to rewind my DVR because 30 minutes later, I am still ASTOUNDED! I <3 DVR it makes me feel so sane where as usually I’d think to myself : “I KNOW I didn’t see what I thought I just saw.” The “story” lasted all of 30 seconds, but it was enough to spark a blog. What the hot buttered TOAST was THAT about? I feel like I need more information on this flooding ordeal. Because something isn’t sitting right with me.
