From a US mate:
Just
when you think you have heard all of the stupid things that are going
on in the US -- this comes along.....Black hurricanes....
Well, it appears our African-American friends have
found yet something else to be pissed about. A black congresswoman
(this would be Sheila Jackson Lee, of Houston ), reportedly complained
that the names of hurricanes are all Caucasian sounding names.
She would prefer some names that reflect
African-American culture such as Chamiqua, Tanisha, Woeisha, Shaquille,
and Jamal. I am NOT making this up!
She would also like the weather reports to be
broadcast in 'language' that street people can understand because one of
the problems that happened in New Orleans was, that black people
couldn't understand the seriousness of the situation, due to the
racially biased language of the weather report.
I guess if the weather person says that the winds
are going to blow at 140+ MPH, that's too hard to understand
I can hear it now: A weatherman in New Orleans says...
Wazzup, mutha-fukkas! Hehr-i-cane Chamiqua be headin' fo' yo ass like Leroy on a rocket!
Bitch be a category fo'! So, turn off dem
chitlins, grab yo' chirren, leave yo crib, and head fo' de nearest FEMA
office fo yo FREE shit
