"the tv must be telling the truth now, i agree with it"

I agree that many people in New Orleans acted deplorably during that time and were told to get out of the place beforehand, but the lack of help and support by the government was disgusting.

i was in la when the levees broke. i was also in la 4 days before the weather broke and we all watched the impending doom on websites and traded links and hoped them all well.
if i had enough time to realized they were fucked, so did they. i have a hard time feeling sorry for someone once they burn their hand after i told them the stove was hot.
same situation, people trying to beat the odds against nature.
"oh we're idiots we couldn't leave we're poor, we have more excuses than motivation"

Agreed v4.

exactly Jaline.
We pay taxes in America so that we have services like FEMA and so on. Hearing people say things like "blame it on the mayor of New Orleans"... "Why didnt they send in New orleans city buses"... etc is moronic.
Who is going to drive those fucking buses?
If you want to really put a face on this tragedy, look no further than the President's Mother on how out of touch these people are.

"What I’m hearing is they all want to stay in Texas.Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality.
"And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this--this [she chuckles slightly]is working very well for them."

Racism is alive and well in this country and if you don't think so, you're probably white.

were they informed of the levee danger? that aspect came as a surprise for most, didn't it?
- mrdobolina0
the president "had no idea the levees were going to break", didn't he?
How do you expect poor folks to know more than the president does?

oh and la= Los Angeles
the lack of help and support by the government was disgusting.
Jaline
(Dec 19 06, 08:51)what is it that people expect from their government, really?
disgusting, seriously?
more than 10 times the amount of people that died from hurricane Katrina (worldwide), die every day from hunger (worldwide).
priorities people
Fuck a Spike Lee

richard,
i want to respect as a person and i do my damnedest, but if you mention racism and whites only one more time, i'm going to have to start agreeing with eddie and doug more often than usual.
every black man that says nigga is both a racist and a bigot, plain and simple. ever said sand nigger, towel head? just because we are at war and they can't hear you doesn't make it better
if you can say something and i can't, your are trying to separate us, so fuck that and you frankly
you really need to worry more about people as a whole than your personal agenda, because lately you sound more and more like the people you attempt to bemoan
