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.

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.

Hard to believe this isn't an Onion article or in the Comedy Zone.

Fuck, ebonics is back. I thought it had died a decade or two ago. Effectively Ebonics is the democrats way of saying, "we know you are to stupid to learn proper English so we will dumb it down for you simpletons."
