Add another name to the list of residents at the Cape Cod military base where evacuees from Hurricane Katrina are staying. But this one didn't need a plane to get there.
Dionne White of New Orleans gave birth Tuesday at Falmouth Hospital to a boy whom she named Cape Cod Bannister, or C.C. for short. It's the first birth to an evacuee staying at Camp Edwards.
"I named him that because I love Cape Cod," White told The Boston Globe. "Coming here has been a big break for me. It's like Christmas, just a big old miracle. And you don't get that very often."
White, 37, has 12 other children, ranging in age from 3 to 21. Four of them with her.
Three others, an 11-year-old and 9-year-old twins, were at White's sister's house in New Orleans during the storm. White says she begged rescuers to take her to her sister's home several blocks away to get her other children, but they could not. Denise Monteiro, spokeswoman for the Massachusetts Department of Social Services, said the children have not been found.
"I am just praying and praying they are OK," said White.
One of White's children is in jail, another is living in Texas, and three are in adoptive care in Louisiana, according to Massachusetts state officials.
White said she plans to remain in Massachusetts where, she said, "everyone treats you with love."
Monteiro said that two houses, one in Hingham and one in Boston, are being considered for White's family.
"We have never, ever, all of us been together," White said, "so, that's my dream, a nice big old house in Boston. And all 13 of my children."
Where did it give her race?
A glimmer of hope in all this -- BOSTON can support her. And give her a house. And pay the rent and utilities. Until they are all sick to death of the whole game. And then the Republicans will even win in Boston.
Should my taxes go to pay for the Dionne Whites of this country to generate human fodder for welfare? This is a sad story.
White, 37, has 12 other children, ranging in age from 3 to 21......She started early, didn't she?
No. The Kennedy's don't socialize with Commoners, they only exploit them for votes.
LOL. Love your tagline. :)
How much of Boston's aid comes from federal money? You guys aren't getting out our socialism unscathed...
Decrying? And why pray tell would they do that? It is way hard to overcome if you are in the minority.
This whole sorry state of affairs (no pun intended) depresses me; does that mean I get to suck on the governmnet teat also?
Or do I just get told, "Tough; keep the taxes coming to support the 'disabled',"?
Interestingly this woman is not just any old baby factory; she's apparently an abusive baby factory as well, because on two different occasions the state has taken her children away. The article states that she had four children taken away so she went out and bred herself some more. Then the state took three more away. You wonder what she did to them. She can't even remember their names and ages, the article says. Thank God she's getting her tubes tied at last. It should have been done twenty-two years ago, when she was 15.
First, do you know of any white people who would name their son "Cape Cod"??? Second, she was evacuated from NO, a city with 67% black residents, some of her offspring are in Texas, one is in jail, she has several more scattered about. I am just surmising, based on the evidence at hand, but would be willing to wager a Guiness or two on my view.
"I named him that because I love Cape Cod"
I guess that explains names like Lemonjello and Orangejello..
In the above linked 'additional information' story, it has her picture. Yes, she is black.
Here's the link again, in case you missed it.

Women like her are the reason why those out there who wanted to ban or limit access to contraception will never win, nor should they. She is a walking advertisement for the need to sterilize irresponsible women (and men, too).

Not to mention a classic I heard at Michael Reese Hospital in Chicago in the early 80s: "Nosmo King" ("No Smoking", as the sign says in the ER there). How about "Roots Sibissi"? Another MRH classic from the 80s.
..I refer you both to post#10...additional information
..there's a picture of her and Cape Cod :^
It would be a hoot to see the names of all of her 13 children.
The rest of this story is a tragedy however.
"Perhaps the Kennedy Compound can be opened as a place for all the refugees that love the area to have a permanent place to stay"
Excellent idea! Somebody should approach Teddy on camera about it.
