why do some racists who regularly denounce that they are racist make everything about race!!

According to the latest statistics the death toll for the Chilean earthquake was about 300 people; the death toll for the Haitian Earthquake about 170,000.

What a Troll post!!

What is racist about wanting help for Chileans in need from the earthquake? Why your off topic remark?

Seems some really try to insert racism into every event in life. Go ahead....the word racism has so lost any meaning.

Anyway, back on topic. Thanks, meson, good to hear Chile has everything under control at this time. Hope all still keep Chileans in their prayers....such a wonderful country.

Chile has the resources to deal with this and Haiti did not. How this even a political issue I don't know! Americans will help no matter what!

No feigned ignorance on my part. Just truth. Haitians are known for their poor, welfare, handout mentality. Just look at what is happening now with the Haitian government trying to tax medical supplies being sent to the country.

For of you who like me have been to Chile, you know it is a beautiful country with honest, hard working people. Santiago is a world class city. I certainly hope the U.S. plans to help the hardworking people of Chile the way we helped the "handout, welfare" crowd in Haiti.
Can I ask why you started this exact same thread when you posted an identical thread earlier? This is a duplicate thread.

The bottom line is that your post is stupid and attempts to suggest that the President jumped to aid the victims of Haiti at supersonic speed yet in some manner he is dragging his feet when it comes to the victims of Chile.

You been proven wrong on all counts!!

You then callously and ignorantly broad brush the entire population of Haiti as having a "handout mentality" while ignoring the massive need of people for basic needs such as water, food, and protection from the upcoming rainy season.

The only question you should be trying to answer is you find nothing better to do then attempt to divide people over race,country, severity of damage to infrastructure, and need.

Again, what a troll post, thankfully most people can see it for what it is!!
