What the hell happened to self-reliance in this country?
All I remember is all the cars in the ninth ward that were underwater--and wondered why the hell those people didn't get their fat butts in those cars and get out of town.
I'm sick of these whiners. Maybe if they spent all the hours a day they whine about "racism" doing something productive they wouldn't be stuck in the situation they have found themselves in.
This though is the predictable result of decades of liberal policy. It creates adult children who look to the government for everything, and who rather than work to improve their situation would rather sit around and blame others for not giving them more and more handouts. Nothing is their fault. Drop out of school? Blame whitey! Have a kid at 18? Blame whitey? Don't have a good job! Blame whitey! Not enough blacks volunteer for the red cross? Blame whitey!
While I agree there was an appalling lack of personal responsibility by some prior to Katrina hitting New Orleans, I'm curious as to just what town, 12 miles away, you are referring. Food and shelter could have been found possibly 120 miles away, but most certainly NOT 12 miles.
