I don't think they have had hundreds of years to assimilate.
The clock doesn't start, IMO until 1955 or later.
However, the prognosis for assimilation of the bottom quartile descended from the former enslaved population is poor.
I know I'd be stealing drugs, TV's, guns, etc.... then maybe food and water. Yeah then I'd rape some women and maybe shoot at the relief people.. What a way to live.
Do you live in the south or have you only visited? They have always had areas where people lived in poverty. Things didn't really get out of control until gangs set up business in the larger cities in the south. That would be considered an influence from the North and West instead of a problem generated from only poverty.
There used to be a time when families living in poverty had a community where they depended on helping each other instead of shooting one another. Liberals telling them that they can;'t do any better and it is understandable that they can't behave any better has caused a breakdown in decent behavior.
Hey, Buddie... Stretch, the Old Geezer here.. I too, live in the South.... atlanta suburbs... Great place to live...
As to this article, it is the truth, plain and simple... Whereever the liberal culture, the NAACP, ACLU, jESSE JACKSON, SHARPTON, AND THE REST OF THE CABAL MEET AND PLAN STRATEGY, YOU WILL SEE the destruction taking place. Atlanta... Corruption from the ground up...Detroit... Philadelphia... Jersey... Gary... Los Angeles...No end to the liberal corruption.... And the poor blacks are so mislead by the Liberals to the point that they have no future.... no chance They are truly held back by the ones (liberals) they look up to. they are better at propaganda than even the Hitler regime....

Sounds like Philly x 10.
" When you dont have any money, a vehicle, or anywhere else to go. What are you supposed to do?
Plenty of immigrants have come to this country with nothing but the clothes on their backs and a dream. Somehow, many have made it. What I am seeing in NO is the product of liberal welfare policies that won't make anyone take responsibility for their lives. Many of these public assistance lifers are just standing there waiting for a handout. I'd be damned before I would stand on an overpass for five days waiting on government aid.
"You're a freaking idiot. Most, not all, people that live in poverty in the "deep south" are too freaking lazy to work.
You're a moron."
Im amazed at the high quality of members joining FR nowadays.
Sad that a lot on here just regurgitate ideololgical lines. These people are slobs and too lazy to work blah blah blah....Thats they should be left to die. Become a free thinking individual, and not a mouthpiece for talking points.
You're right. We all would start spontaneously raping defenseless women if we were ever in a flood situation.
Keep making excuses for these subhuman animals.
You are an idiot of almost unprecedented proportions.
No surprise there. New Orleans' Mardi Gras has devolved into a Babylonian orgy. There is a certain symetry that occurs in societies: lack of restraint in sexual mores correlates with lack of restraint in the arena of violence.
(1) There was no one in N.O. who was unable to scrape up $40 for a bus to Baton Rouge. Even the homeless people in N.O. when I was there seemed to be perfectly capable of buying bottles of liquor and sixpacks of beer. If you have enough money for hightops or gold fronts, you have enough money for a bus ticket.
(2) If you have no car, no place to go and little money, take a bus out of town and go to a homeless shelter.
There were apparently isolated incidents in Brooklyn and the Bronx which the polic put an immediate stop to.
I walked half the length of Manhattan the night of the blackout and I saw people of all races cooperating with one another, restaurants giving away food for free, vendors selling drinks for low prices, and stores doing business almost as usual (only taking cash, of course).
The streets were dark and packed with people who did not know how to get home, but I saw no violence of any kind and no theft.
Where did the name "The Big Easy" come from?
Minorities don't have to pay back their student loans? Then why does some girl named Sallie Mae send me a bill every month ever since I graduated? I must have checked the wrong box.
There was one in '77 as well.
Actually, looting of non-survival items in times of disaster is fairly rare, historically. And all poor neighborhoods are not created equal. The biggest single factor that correlates with criminal behavior is lack of a biological father involved in child-rearing: back when whites had higher illegitimacy rates than blacks, they also had higher crime rates; today that situation is reversed, though whites are catching up again. But no, these people are criminals, not survivalists.
It's very easy to discern. The former will be found with only foodstuffs and first aid items in their possession and will generally be accompanied by their children or infirm family members.
The latter will be found with expensive footwear, jewelry, electronics and liquor, traveling in wolfpacks comprised almost entirely of able-bodied men who are doing nothing to help fellow citizens.
It should take about one-half of one second to see the difference.
Black success predated 1955 in America, particularly during the roaring twenties.
