Can't believe CNN actually aired this verbal exchange... (Earthquake related)
03/13/2011

Posted on 03/13/2011 12:42:04 PM PDT by The Magical Mischief Tour

Earlier this AM CNN aired an exchange between a reporter stateside on the CNN set and a reporter in Japan.

The reporter in Japan was commenting on how calm and orderly everyone was while waiting in line at stores for water, food and gas.

He said that they had several full gas cans on their truck to get them where they were going and they felt comfortable leaving their vehicle unattended while going inside stores to buy food or to interview people.

He then compared it to his experiences during Katrina when their vehicle was completely looted of gas, food, water and even their personal gear and bags right under their noses.

He then said that the difference between the human response to the situation was almost night and day, the Japanese were very orderly and calm while the Katrina survivors were totally out of control.

I was amazed that CNN let him air such views. While completely truthful they show a side of our population we all know is there, but to speak of it, to even refer to it is viewed as racist...

They make the blacks during Katrina look like the Japanese.

really?

give me an example of a recent natural disaster where white European descended peoples acted worse than blacks did in Katrina or Haiti

I personally don't think black skin or kinky hair makes folks misbehave but tens of thousands of years of living in primitive culture whilst other parts of the world progressed at a much faster clip sure does effect mass group behavior and you can't bring up that whole group any more readily in a few hundred years than you can bring mine (southern cracker) up to say urban Jewish intellectual class either...not that I'm hankering for it...

we can find individual exceptions and whatnot as we should but the facts folks are dancing around here are the norm the world over..and it has everything to do with all facets of group characteristics and behavior caused by environment and adaptations etc

and it's not just black culture..there are lower Asian and Caucazoid cultural sub groups too that lag

Amerindians and Aboriginals too typically lag worldwide..and I'm saying that being a Pocahontas descendent and my wife's greatX2 grandmother was full blooded Cherokee-Creek-Chickasaw..something southern woodlands..look at her pic on my page..u can see it

I lived all over the world..in much of the third too...I judge culture by:

How well folks stand in line

quality of the toliet paper

how they value their women

all of those tell you everything

and I think Christianity helps..which explains why our's is crumbling right now as goes our faith

I have traveled all over the world and I have traveled all over the United States.

What I know for sure in this world is that white people don’t have a monopoly on civilized behavior and non-white people aren’t all savages.

Out of all the races, I have seen white folks act the most despicable, both in my home town and abroad.

You think Europeans are civilized?

Have you seen them go on a rampage over a stupid soccer game?

In my hometown, last May Day, all the White liberals went on a rampage and tried to destroy my downtown.

Or when the white liberals went on a rampage in downtown Oakland over a cop who shot a black dude in cold blood?

The white liberals were so out of control that the black leadership went out and condemned them for their barbarity.

No one said whites never misbehave..of course they do..look at Union thugs in Madison. But if you think black group behavior here and worldwide is more civilized than that of white Europeans and Americans..then..lol..you get the award for most delusional freeper I've seen in quite some time. Fire away..call me racist. a handful of crazy white anarchists or union thugs here and there hardly deflect the fact that anywhere in the world that blacks predominate is unsafe for whites...and other blacks too. lol...that white rampage in Oakland....over cop who shot black guy in COLD BLOOD...your words..he was acquitted btw

this white riot(in your defense yes there were white anarchists involved as well)?

hysterical..yep that looks just like that other white riot over Rodney King....

you will have to do better than that...try the Nazi angle...you know.."whites wage more lethal wars"..."you people are more brutal" ..that sort of thing

my reply will of course be that tribal Hutus managed to butcher 800,000 to 2 million Tutsi men women children and infants in just 2-3 weeks in Rwanda armed only with machetes , spears and clubs.....no rail cars....it took the Nazis years to murder 6 million..that rate of personal execution is about unrivaled. lol...I don't think you've been anywhere outside your bunker in wherever

that is true...i was there and a good thing too because unlike the BS many here think that FEMA really helps absorb it all

nope

they cap home buyouts at 27,900 bucks

how many folks only have a 27,900 dollar mortgage

plain sucks

we have battled the city for almost a year now over our mandatory biz shutdown...we may get relief

there was very little looting in Nashville and some of the flooding was in areas snotty race baiters here would call white trash

folks still living in tents and in the summer heat and they still maintained dignity

btw..while you are furiously preparing your response to tell me to go light a cross or whatever

I will confess that I understand that for a southerner like me it’s easy to get sorta tunnel vision about how whites behave.we simply do not have white Union thugs and hooligans like you guys do in the North and elsewhere.

like the recent events in Madison..for example..they tried it here ...got a few local white libs and a lot of transplant yankee Union guys but not much show of force

and our blacks tend to be better behaved..Katrina not withstanding...well the rural ones anyhow..when I was a boy urban black areas where no more dangerous much than white areas...first I saw of that was in NYC in 69.

and it may comfort you to know that here in Nashville, the poorer white areas are absolutely infested with feral white boys who think they are black gangstas and have lost all hope...they act like Drooges (they couldn’t even speel it I’m sure)...all little white burr heads bobbing along to hip hop and talking ebonics trash and their sisters all carrying their latest in a string of fatherless mixed race kids

so yes..whites do have their imperfections and growing

so relax...feel better now..diversity is such a wonderful thing and all

I mean donch just wish you coulda felt the love at the Superdome of Convention Center while all those “despicably behaved “ white folks acted up and preyed upon the poor black victims?

whew...good thing we can all pretend with Geraldos help none of that happened

John Leland was a Baptist from Massachusetts ~ nothing Souvrn' about that ol'boy. He seems to have been a missionary sent out to civilize the Souf' though.

In the end he founded African-American gospel music (as well as some pretty free speech).

Still, the toilet paper is great and they let you toss it in the dumper rather than a waste basket conveniently located nearby that is overflowing (due to the inadequacies of the sewage processing plant BTW, not ‘cause they want to).

Everyone is missing the point.

The Japanese are acting more civilized in their national emergency because they have high speed rail.

There have been a lot of threads on FreeRepublic, discussing education, that have had questionable points of view, as well. The posters were supporting substituting training and union apprenticeships for education. That’s the Obama education plan.

The posters never responded to any comments that did not support their point of view. I’m thinking that we have been invaded by a bunch of DUers.

Thanks for the useful new word.

Now, when I discuss Quebec politics, I can say something like: “Les Quebecois want Quebec to be an ethnostate; while the rest of Canada is rushing headlong into multiculturalism. That's one of the root causes of separatism.”

“I’m thinking that we have been invaded by a bunch of DUers.”

I know that those guys lurk over here, same as I lurk over there. They even post threads detailing there experiences here at FR.

However I find myself in constant disagreement with the Law and Order corner of conservatism. If these jokers had their way every other man woman and child would be in prison, after taking a mandatory old school police beating. Lots of knuckle draggers here and some are LEO who cheer the beat down of “Ferrel humans” and who detest the 14th amendment. So no surprise that some of these geniuses want to send a teenager to jail for killing a hamster. Many Freepers wanted to put the parents of 16 year old Abby Sunderland in jail after she was believed to be lost at sea. So I don’t know.

During the design a critical error was made in calculating load bearing resistance of these walls.

When was this error discovered?

Great post.

In the aftermath of the Katrina flooding the COE did do an extensive test on the failed flood walls and compared the actual strength of the walls to what the calculated strength should. be. The COE itself discovered the error and did an examination of the masses of paper that still existed from the planning and construction of the city flood control system. No one could (or would) ever point any finger as to how such an error occurred and was continually propagated. The US government obviously had no interest in highlighting this embarrassing fact but it was included in the masses of information the COE put on their NOLA website.
