Re: was this racist in intent????

Dem also mek mention that donations were much much less than what was pledged for Katrina & haiti

journalists also take great pains to mention often that the Japanese are "orderly" people, even when them line up for water for hours and it run out dem still
orderly. Mi nuh even sure why dat need to be pointed out, cause that's certainly not on my radar when I see the horrible images.

Well even if the japanese did loot it wouldnt be called looting,.....only black people loot,everyone else "forage" in desperation to find something to eat to survive.

One thing it is is not true. I also heard a reporter on CNN mention how they were not stealing before the surveillance tapes that did not get washed away started surfacing. Yes, they are looting just like anybody else who gets desperate enough.

Japan is good at hiding their dirt. I'm just waiting to hear how bad these nuclear reactor leaks actually are.

Man, this is so so true.

Also, one community which happened to be majority white was not inundated so black people escaping the deluge ended up there.

I tell you,just a cursory search on google of the non-looting in japan has thrown up a real rag tag bunch of discussions on the internet,some of it are pretty scathing about black people in general,....and most of it always seems to come down to some pretty derogatory statements about race and culture.

wat say u? </div></div>there was TV coverage of looting in Japan after the tsunami.
It was covered on MSNBC to rebut statements by the rightists oligarchy that it was absent due to the the absence of 'other' races.
So that was actually debunked.

I guess CTV may be Controlled by the rightists oligarchy represented in the media as the Fox network. ..... or at least subscribes to their philosophy.

Did they bother to report That in Japan there us no right to legal representation by lawyers in court?

And That being arrested is the equivalent of being sentenced too?
In Japan much more effort is involved in not being caught then in voucher tried with more neutral court system.
One aspect is deterrent.
Since it is more likely That it will result in long prison sentence than getting sway with the act.
It is more about deterrent Than Morals.

But who would want to believe that?
