"tell that to my former principal and friend who's worked in the inner city public school system for the past 25 years."
wtf does this mean?
not all black people are one way or another.

No kidding, I'm talking about the money set out for inner-city people such as the ones mentioned in NO.
Scholarship money set up for certain groups, it goes uncollected which includes African-Americans, get it. How is that racist? lol it's a blatant fact.

Yeah, Jaz I see your point, and I also think that it may not be as easy as just going to school and trying. Sure, people can make their own choices as to whether or not they want to try, but I think there is more to it than just offering money for school. Socially and economically there is a lot of pressure to survive and find a quick means to an end. Thinking about it, it is a very complex problem ... so much involved. Sad.

(Sep 2 05, 08:03)true, but that's getting old in my book.
Go ask some of the black kids I grew up with that are making over 100K using their brains and inner city public school education. The key is to adapt.
There are so many opps out there and even if it is taking advantage of a Poli. Correct system, so be it. Do it. Check out Atlanta's young professional African American groups. excellent!

I may sound like an unsympathetic fool, but I'm going to have to agree with JazX on this one. I live in Florida, and the one thing you learn pretty quickly is to get the hell out of the way when a hurricane is coming.
If you don't have money, there are literally hundreds of wind-proof / flood-proof shelters around the city. More importantly, the city or county organizes for food and water to be there and be rationed to the folks staying there. Hell, even the buses are stopped and sent to care facilities to pick up the elderly and take them to a safe place, if their relatives are not able to make arrangements.
If these things were not done, then maybe I can sympathize with the citizens. If that was the case, then the city needs to realize that it's important to be proactive in these situations, and not reactive.
