"Racist" Nation Giving Update.

One week after Chris Matthews said on television that Americans would have reacted differently to the disaster in New Orleans if the televised victims had been white instead of black, charitable giving has exceeded $1.2 billion. (Prior post here.) According to the Chronicle of Philanthropy website (story here) the pace of contributions continues to exceed the rate of contributions after 9/11. Seems more generous than racist to me, but what do I know. I'm not an inside the beltway shoot from the lip pundit.
