Flashback: Congresswoman Sheila Jackson-Lee Said Hurricane Names Are Racist

All this bad weather on the East Coast, in combination with all the race war divide and conquer, reminded me of how back in the day, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson-Lee said hurricane names are racist:

Via WND, from 2003:

Do devastating hurricanes need help from affirmative action?

A member of Congress apparently thinks so, and is demanding the storms be given names that sound “black.”

The congressional newspaper the Hill reported this week that Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, feels that the current names are too “lily white,” and is seeking to have better representation for names reflecting African-Americans and other ethnic groups.

“All racial groups should be represented,” Lee said, according to the Hill. She hoped federal weather officials “would try to be inclusive of African-American names.”

A sampling of popular names that could be used include Keisha, Jamal and Deshawn, according to the paper.

Because it’s not fair that sometimes devastating and deadly storms are named solely after imaginary white people. This was a thing and, with the current climate as it is, it may make a comeback.

Out of curiosity, has anyone bothered to ask Keisha if she’s upset that Hurricane Katrina wasn’t named after her instead?

This is all part of the continued politically-correct [amazon text=Idiocracy&asin=B000K7VHOG], the dumbing down of society. There can be no other explanation.
