Who's the Nigger?

Like most people I'm devastated by what's happening on the gulf coast and especially New Orleans. I have a very close friend of 32 years there who lives a marginal existence, being poor and uneducated. She also never got a driver's license, so may well have had no means to evacuate. I have no idea what's happening to her and am sick at heart.

I just entered "Katrina" in Google Groups and was surprised by the results, organized by most recent date.

Instead of lots of posts saying "pray for the victims" or "send money" or "what's being done?" or "who's to blame?" in a wide variety of groups - which is what I expected - the majority of most recent posts were to ALT.FLAME.NIGGER!!

...By a bunch of really self-righteous folks talking about what animals "niggers" are and how they deserve what's happening to them!

Excuse me???
