Yep white people are all racist, men are all sexist, Christians are all homophobes and THIS IS ALL BUSH'S FAULT!!!
Maybe FEMA's....
People's hurricane relief fund, is that anything like Peoples liberation army????????
"Suber was expected to be one of at least 200 New Orleans residents traveling from Southeast Texas on chartered buses Saturday for a rally at their hometown's city hall to voice their concerns. Evacuees in other states were also set to make the trip in a project sponsored by the Nation of Islam, the National Black United Front and the New Black Panther Party."
Hmmm I did a search on google and I cant find where any of those groups have done anything to help rebuild New Orleans. But I guess that would be harder than just holding a rally to complain.
If the reports are true, they're begging for workers down in N.O., even giving signing bonuses for hiring on at Burger King If you can't get a job under those conditions, you ain't trying.
Anyone who expresses this sentiment should be barred from ever returning to New Orleans. New Orleans was filthy, crime ridden, roach infested, beset with criminaltiy and drugs, Formosa termite riddled, and smelled bad.
No one in their right mind would want New Orleans to be like it was before.
I have begun to view Hurricane Katrina as God's way of cleaning up the mess.
About 10 years ago I was involved with the restoration of a "traditionally black" college in Alabama following extensive flooding.
The ONLY issue the administration was really interested in discussing was the skin shade of the people getting the work.
"They're begging for workers down in N.O., even giving signing bonuses for hiring on at Burger King If you can't get a job under those conditions, you ain't trying."
So true it had to be repeated.
caryatid" I have begun to view Hurricane Katrina as God's way of cleaning up the mess."
That's not very nice.
What he means is that he wants CONTRACTS to rebuild given to Black-led organizations like his.
He ain't gonna do no damn work.
There is a simple solution for malcontents like ol' Malcolm. "They" seem well able to "organize" a Relief Fund for themselves [is it registered with the IRS?] ... so let them "organize" their own "rebuilding committee", hire some able bodied workers, bulldoze their own property, clear the rubble, and, then, rebuild whatever they want to build for themselves ... instead of just becoming willing dupes of known rabble rousers.
Just as long as we continue to get our taxpayer funded entitlements.
They both preach "economic justice".
Don't they get tired of always playing the victim? I mean, WTF, don't they ever shut up and just get down to work?
You'd think illegal immigration would be an issue with the AA community ...
Danny Glover and Harry Belafonte's announcement of the formation of the Peoples Hurricane Relief Fund will be found at vanguardsf.org. (scroll down to the bottom)
Here's the problem.
gondramB, you are correct ... what I said is not very nice; however, it happens to be true. I doubt that you have ever lived in New Orleans.
I feel entitled to say what I said, however, as one who lived for many, many years in New Orleans ... and left [among other reasons] when I had run out of fingers [both hands] on which to count the people we knew who had been murdered. I was part of a vast exodus of people from a city we all loved ... because that city had become unlivable. I never wanted to live anywhere other than New Orleans.
While I would never have wished a Hurricane on the city ... and would never have wished death, destruction and misery on anyone ... now that it has happened, I can only say ...
I have high hopes that New Orleans will emerge from the destruction of Hurricane Katrina ... leaner, cleaner, smaller, safer, less corrupt ... perhaps, even, a city worth living in once more.
