jerrylambert Posted September 3, 2005 #26 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Be carefull Burnside or you will be labeled racist, they don't like the term "colered". lol But seriously, I have walked 45 miles in just a few hours. They had three days warning. They could have walked to safety if they wanted to. Survival is key. Not how comfortable your feet are. Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerrylambert Posted September 3, 2005 #39 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I'm still lost, but I'll try anyway. Bush has sent something like 6000 troops to the relief effort. We need presence in Iraq untill they have a trained military. Bush has sent all FEMA funding to the relief effort. He is sending food and water as fast as humanly possible. He told them to get out and they stayed. Yet he is still trying to help them. What should he do? Don a black coat and sunglasses and fly down there and bring them back ? Back to where? Maybe they can stay in your back yard. What have you done? Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadal Posted September 3, 2005 #40 Share Posted September 3, 2005 The guy was trying to incite riots. He basicly said that the President was killing black people.

Me_Again Posted September 4, 2005 #47 Share Posted September 4, 2005 FEMA what a joke...Karma for some people is going to be rough...Lest what you sterotype you surly will become ...OK take the blame away from Bush (politics) and put the blame on being poor, uneducated and overweight In Light and Love to ALL (yeah, that means you too) , Me_Again Koppel: I've heard you say during the course of a number of interviews that you found out about the convention center today. Don't you guys watch television? Don't you guys listen to the radio? Our reporters have been reporting on it for more than just today. Brown of FEMA: We learned about (the convention center) FACTUALLY today that that's what existed. Link I think it has begun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faeden Posted September 4, 2005 Author #48 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Hey.. whatever... sounds like you need a little help anyway! I need help? I am not the one suggesting that people never got out of the impact zone because they are too fat and too uneducated just because they are poor southerners, I am not the one suggesting that all the people that have been made homeless where on welfare.

FairyGlenn Posted September 4, 2005 #49 Share Posted September 4, 2005 After days of flipping the tv back and forth between cnn and msnbc I have found myself in a quandary. Why does everything come down to race? Why does it seem that black people have become the racists? I sat silently as the first shots of the looters came into view. Scene: Before the levee's broke in New Orleans - the worst was over, they'd survived Katrena or so it seemed. Enter: 3 young black men wading through knee deep water carrying boxes of sneakers - not food, not water, not diapers - I could understand any of those - just sneakers. One smiles broadly into the camera and tells how police officers had "taken" their shoes so they stole some new ones. More shots of people spilling from store fronts with arm loads of clothes still attached to the hangers, funiture, a washing maching and tv sets... what the hell are they going to do with a tv set?!?! I wonder. I become uncomfortably aware of the color of the looters skin. Hold on, girl, I said. Don't you make a comment like that! You are NOT a racist. Ok, if I see 1 white face I won't say it out loud. Wait... there goes a man with a few packages of diapers! My hopes rise as I see a TRUE MAN of color. He took something that he needed, not that he could RE SELL. I waited... and waited... still no other colors. Then the complaints start coming. Reverend's Sharpton and Jackson weren't the only ones to start the dissent by claiming racial reasons for the thousands stuck in the flooded city. Another one went so far as to say that because the majority of the people were on welfare and supported by the government… that they weren’t sufficiently “motivated” to make a move the save themselves. What the hell does that mean?!?!?! I am sick to my stomach as word of snipers and rapes cross the wires. And then… suddenly… I am sick in my heart… as I realize… maybe I am a racist.

And you think I need help? 825660[/snapback] You know nothing of being a Southerner... black or white... I have lived it.. all my life... and have many poor.. and yes black "Southern" friends... You know nothing of living in the U.S... you would be surprised just how many people are on government assistance here in the U.S. ... and I am willing to bet that 3/4 of the people who were flooded out.. and at the convention center and at the Superdome were on one type of federal assistance or another... but who are they quick to blame ... when they are in a bad situation... and it takes a little time to get supplies to the multitude of people?... the same federal government that has been assisting them, to live, to have housing, to have food.....
