First (this month), there was Pat Robertson.
Now there’s LA clergyman Reverend Lewis E. Logan II (no link available; if I'm wrong, I'll retract).
… it is no a coincidence that it is exactly 50 years from the time of (inaudible) lynching and murder. That it is not a coincidence that the storm’s name is a sister. Katrina. For she represents the collective cries of mothers who have lost their sons (applause) to the brutality (louder applause) and the murderous grip of this racist white supremacist American culture (frenzied applause).So Katrina’s a black woman getting revenge for white supremacy, eh? Well Katrina must be a crack ho because she has committed a lot of black-on-black crime, if the faces of the majority of refugees in southern Mississippi and Louisiana are any indication.
Sheesh! It’s this sort of charlatanism that kept me out of churches for years; men with ‘reverend’ in front of their names saying demonstrably ignorant things, while more gullible sorts lapped up the BS because of the title.
Meanwhile, others are trying to alleviate suffering instead of pointing fingers at the dead.
