US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said after meeting members of Congress that legislation would be required to help rid US banks of their bad assets.

He said this was at the heart of the rescue plan, which will be worked out over the weekend.

It’s taken years of mismanagement and lack of oversight and regulation to create this problem and our noble leaders are planning on solving it over the weekend?!

Anyone who wasn’t worried before this announcement should be now.

Consider: AIDS, for the most part, is spread by voluntary actions. It is easily preventable, and it’s possible to live a life 99.999% free of any risk of infection. This makes AIDS an awfully ineffective way to wipe out a race. It depends on free will and choice, and that’s often fairly unpredictable in large groups of people.

If, however, you could predict someone’s actions, then you might have a decent chance at creating the genocidal epidemic you’re looking for. If you know that John Doe comes home every day and mixes a martini, you can poison the olives and be fairly certain about Doe’s fate.

So such a conspiracy depends on accurately predicting the actions of black Americans as a group.

And what is one stereotype of all targets of xenophobia? That they breed like rabbits. Indeed, one deragotory term for black Americans is involves just that.

That is how Wright’s remark is an insult to all black Americans. It assumes that they will, by their very nature, be promiscuous without any form of protection and use drugs.

Sounds like something a KKK Grand Whatever would say…
