Jeb's Culture of Life? Not for Black Kids

From Radical Russ Net: FL Gov Bush's Dept of Children and Families was convicted of "institutional neglect" that led to the near beating death of then-2 yr old Marissa Amora at the hands of her known to be abusive guardians. A jury awarded her $35 million for damages and future health care costs (she is now disabled) and now Jeb is trying to have the entire award thrown out (not reduced, BUT eliminated!) so the now-6 yr old will end up w/ no way to pay for her lifelong medical care. From Tampa Bay Online: Ronnie Paris Jr would box w/ his 3 yr old, punching & slapping him in the head until he cried, and make the toddler shake & wet himself from fear, b/c Paris didn't want his son to grow up to be "a sissy" and according to little Ronnie's aunt, "he didn't want his son to be gay." On 1/22/05 little Ronnie was beaten until he slipped into a coma. By 1/28/05, little Ronnie died when he was removed from life support & suffered severe swelling of the brain. Did Jeb intervene & demand that little Ronnie be kept on a feeding tube in hopes that he would miraculously recover? Nope. Did Bill Frist make a videotape diagnosis? Nope. Did Tom DeLay arrange an emergency session of Congress and did Bush jump on Air Force One in the middle of the night to sign emergency legislation? Nope. Why would these Culture of Life GOPers not want a disabled 6yr have money for her lifelong medical care? Why would these Culture of Life GOPers not fight to keep a 3 yr old w/brain swelling kept on life support? I guess that the Culture of Life just doesn't apply to little black kids (just as it didn't apply to TX infant Sun Hudson- taken off life support at the same time as the Whoring Out Schiavo fiasco). Who knew that a human life was only worthy if white?
