"It's no secret the rich white folks uptown don't want us back," said Malcolm Suber

"It's no secret the rich white folks uptown don't want us back," said Malcolm Suber, a protest leader with the grass-roots 'People's Hurricane Relief Fund' . "This government left us to starve and to die."

Despicable comic book characters like Suber exploit noble monickers like 'People's Hurricane Relief Fund' to steal from the U.S. government, then are given a platform to spew idiotic lies by junk "news" outlets like Reuters?

I don't know who's more disgraceful.

"I lived in my house for 45 years -- my mother died and left it to me," said Gloria Brown, 70, an evacuee living in San Francisco. "I swam seven blocks in filthy water with my dog Queenie to survive. I want to come back but I can't pay for it."

Therefore you and I must, apparently. There is no difference between this and a stickup in the street, but there are very few people who have the courage to say it.

"They're giving folks in Iraq better things than they're giving us."

I keep forgetting that the sole purpose of government is to "give" things to people.

Rally organizers accused the city of discriminating against black residents by moving slowly on rebuilding,

Nothing like people who don't understand the meaning of the word "insurance."

particularly in low-income areas that were hardest hit,

I love to watch conservative parody lines come to life.

after failing to rescue them quickly in the days following the storm.

Nothing like people who don't understand the meaning of the term "evacuate" either.

Do not besmirch Richad Pryor's name by associating him with Bill Clinton.

Right of return? I didn't know we were banning former residents from ever coming back.

Translation: Evil White People tried to kill me and now I want those same Evil White People to pay for rebuilding the house they destroyed, and if I make enough noise those Evil White People who went to the trouble to destroy my home will rebuild it at great cost to themselves.

The reason for rap's massive popularity are now clear to me.

To those who appreciate all that was done for them and want to be productive Texans I say you are welcome to stay. To the remaining ungrateful assclowns I say vacate my state immediately.

I've been looking for a Texan to ask this question: how is it going down there with the evacuees?

"Hitchhike..."

Cut her a little slack. She's 70, and it's winter. How much time does she have left?

OTH, don't cut any slack at all for those in their 20's to early 50's. They can work or starve, as far as I'm concerned.

Well, bless your heart. It is so compassionate of you to laugh at folks who want to return to their homes they have lived in for generations.

My word, the only thing they have to do is get up on poles and restore power, sanitize their drinking water, haul away tons of garbage in their backpacks and restore their homes full of mold and damage.

Why, those lazy dogs do not even deserve a helping hand, do they? After all, it's just white folks who are smart enough to do so, right?

I live in southeast Missouri and I can recall the damage of the 1973 flood, the 500 year one. I don't recall all the harping of folks here who resented fed dollars being spent to repair the damage to our cities effected.

And the black residents of NO probably do have a complaint. I have long felt that the government (city, state and fed) have determined that NO will be built for corporate interests and not for the residents.

Whining, crack-headed, blood-sucking useless t*rds...

It's no wonder the "rich white folks uptown" don't want 'em. Well, I don't want 'em in my neighborhood, and I'm not one of the "rich white folks uptown", either.

Let 'em go to Hyannisport and set up tents and bellyache around Teddy's Compound. Or just let 'em starve, beg or go to jail. I could care less which. This country would be better off without them.

I want to come back but I can't pay for it.

Southwest Airlines:

SFO to Nashville: $135

Nashville to New Orleans: $61

Yeah, I don't know how anyone can afford that.

"We're Back,"

Then find yourself a job, a place to stay and get to cleaning up your house.

I didn't hear of the white folks that were displaced screaming racism and demanding things.

I agree. Help out the elderly who lost everything by pointing them to the various non profits, help is out there. However, to the able bodied whiners, do like the illegals have done, go in and take advantage of the jobs and do the work yourself.

They're getting a helping hand -- it's just not as fast as they want it or as MUCH as they want it. And they not the least bit appreciative of what WE are having to pay for.

Where was HER insurance? Or did she not know she was living BELOW SEA LEVEL? It was an act of God, for goodness sakes; we don't OWE her anything except to do the best job we can as soon as we can.

Quite frankly -- and in case you haven't noticed -- a lot of people are sick and tired of the whining and LIES coming from these people. It's bad enough that they are demanding BETTER than they lived before, but we who are going to end up paying for this have to listen to their continual CARPING about how bad they have it -- and to their LIES about "white people" deliberately letting this happen to them because they are black (see this week's Congressional hearings regarding white people bombing the leeves.)

I live in North Carolina, so don't lecture me about hurricanes; we've had more than you'll ever dream of having; but one thing you don't hear is the people of OUR state on TV whining about how we're not getting the government to replace something we didn't care enough to INSURE.

Your post is racist in tone and I damn well don't appreciate it. I bet I'm not the only one.
