This may sound racist, and I don't mean it that way, but after Katrina I'm beginning to think poor blacks are getting the government they ask for. They keep pointing fingers at us saying we're holding them down, etc.. WE are not holding them down, they are holding themselves down with their stupid, blind, support for the DNC and insistence on staying on the public dole. I have no patience for people who refuse to step up and help themselves.

I agree with you, save that it's not a racial issue; it's a class issue. I've seen many poor uneducated people in Pennsylvania and West Virginia with the same idea of not wanting to advance themselves.

On the other hand, P.G. County is also the richest black county in the U.S. and will remain so for a while; the more money, the more people want to keep it.
