In the Leftist spirit of “never letting a good crisis go to waste,” Daily Kos, in one fell swoop, attacks “racism in Texas,” “economic inequality,” and the GOP.
Oh, and white people, who don’t care at all about black Texans getting hit by the hurricane.
….A well-known leftist website, rather than focus on the general damage that will eventuate from Hurricane Harvey as it hits the Texas coast, focused its rhetorical efforts on the selectivity of the hurricane in targeting the black population of Texas.
The Daily Kos writes:
This is shaping up to be another Hurricane Katrina—complete with a devastating impact on black and brown communities….
Collectively, black people are the most populous minority in Southeast Texas though they are scattered around. This demographic data is important because it tells the story of who is likely to be impacted. In short, this hurricane is going to do incredible damage to the areas where black people live and many aren’t in positions to evacuate or financially withstand the impact.
The website then segues into — you guessed it — racial economic inequity….And then, of course, an attack on the GOP:
While the state does have a group of lawmakers who have formed a maternal mortality task force to look into the issue, Republicans are much more interested in passing bills to limit access to abortion and cutting family planning funding. That means they aren’t at all worried about saving the lives of black women and this hurricane is unlikely to be any different….
Finally, the implicit accusation that white folks just don’t care about blacks….
And, in a video that “kills” the Daily Kos narrative: The rescue crew are all white, the saved truck driver is…black.

Seems that these characters want a race war, trying to stoke the fires of division.
54 years after I Have a Dream, apparently hurricanes are now judging people by the color of their skin. Leftists. Sigh.
