Lessons from Katrina

Wow, that article is definitely not biased, is it?

*sarcasm off*

:okashii:
 
Unfortunately this event is negative for the African-American population, and a lot of people will see this as a way to justify their racist opinions.They will say that even the police even stole things.(And they're black...so they'll use that too) :worried:

It is good that the p*sting has become more subtle; I tend to take that as evidence that people change and learn things.
I appreciate being objective, but I do not like the Klan. One of them just got jailed from the 60's I hear ? One down, and way to go !
See! .... I'm back, too !

Universe's way of enforcing poetic justice to restore law and order to the cosmic net. :evil:
But why not in New Orleans for one ? :?
 
Saying that "black folk" need to do anything is tantamount to saying that all black folk need to do something. By the way, this last link has nothing to do with the racist claims of the first one. I'm still waiting to see what the response to the one poster on the American Renaissance article will be. No one so far seems to want to touch it.
 
Jarvis- your first source was crap of the highest order. It was so obviously racist and so meant to aggrivate and tap into racial fears that I am surprised you bought into it. The police chief and one AP reporter named bell tried to track down a single rape/murder of a seven year old in the bath room rumor, and it didn't pan out. I think your second source is probably more reliable, but again- I think it exaggerates the violence from the POV of terrified people that just came through a hellish ordeal. If help would have come sooner from the mostly white Republican establishment...

I suggest a lot of white folk need to get back to the good book and leave their carnal minds in the dust. (notice I did'nt say all white folk)

You probably don't even realize how patronizing of blacks that sounds.
 
There is a saying that goes "If you have nothing good to say, then don't say it". I looked through the article and found it a piece of racist crap. I think you need to think a bit more before posting such garbage, unless this is the sort of reaction you were looking for. :okashii:
 
Please share this info with others in an effort to set the record straight.

Just received the information below. It further substantiates the information provided in the investigative report by Major Garrett for FOX Cable News who interviewed the CEO of the National Red Cross, and high ranking officials in FEMA and the National Guard.

I am amazed at President Bush's restraint by not blasting the LA state and local elected officials who have been less than candid and truthful, to say nothing of their incompetence, and the talking heads on television who have been so irresponsible in their reporting. I wish someone in the President's administration would release all the relevant information along with an explanation of the difference between federal, state, and local government. It is so annoying to hear survivors blaming "the government", knowing that they have the federal in mind. They need to know the specific government that bears responsibility for their plight. It is the LA state and local governments that are at fault.

Our thoughts, prayers, and focus are obviously on the victims of Katrina and that is the priority. Since the Dems and certain other agitators like Al Sharpton, Jess Jackson, and some Hollywood types have decided to play the blame game, it is only right and important that the truth be known.

Politics Over Duty

This is a post from a fellow over in Merritt Is, FL, a reporter who's been
researching what went on before the storm hit

I think all of Nagin's pomp and posturing is going to bite him hard in the
near future as the lies and distortions of his interviews are coming to
light.

On Friday night before the storm hit, Max Mayfield of the National Hurricane
Center took the unprecedented action of calling Nagin and Blanco personally
to plead with them to begin MANDATORY evacuation of NO and they said they'd take it under consideration. This was after the NOAA buoy 240 miles South had recorded 68' waves before it was destroyed.

President Bush spent Friday afternoon and evening in meetings with his
advisors and administrators drafting all of the paperwork required for a
state to request federal assistance (and not be in violation of the Posse
Comitatus Act or having to enact the Insurgency Act). Just before midnight
Friday evening, the President called Governor Blanco and pleaded with her to sign the request papers so the federal government and the military could
legally begin mobilization and call up. He was told that they didn't think
it necessary for the federal government to be involved yet. After the
President's final call to the governor, she held meetings with her staff to
discuss the political ramifications of bringing federal forces. It was
decided that if they allowed federal assistance it would make it look as if
they had failed so it was agreed upon that the feds would not be invited in.

Saturday before the storm hit, the President again called Blanco and Nagin
requesting they please sign the papers requesting federal assistance, that
they declare the state an emergency area, and begin mandatory evacuation.
After a personal plea from the President, Nagin agreed to order an
evacuation, but it would not be a full mandatory evacuation, and the
governor still refused to sign the papers requesting and authorizing federal
action. In frustration, the President declared the area a national disaster
area, before the state of Louisiana did, so he could legally begin some
advanced preparations. Rumor has it that the President's legal advisers were
looking into the ramifications of using the Insurgency At to bypass the
Constitutional requirement that a state request federal aid before the
federal government can move into state with troops - but that had not been
done since 1906 and the Constitutionality of it was called into question to
use before the disaster.

Throw in that over half the federal aid of the past decade to NO for levee
construction, maintenance, and repair was diverted to fund a marina and
support the gambling ships. Toss in the investigation that will look into
why the emergency preparedness plan submitted to the federal government for funding and published on the city's website was never implemented and in fact may have been bogus for the purpose of gaining additional federal
funding as we now learn that the organizations identified in the plan were
never contacted or coordinating into any planning - though the document
implies that they were.

The suffering people of NO need to be asking some hard questions as do we
all, but they better start with why Blanco refused to even sign the
multi-state mutual aid pack activation documents until Wednesday which
further delayed the legal deployment of National Guard from adjoining
states. Or maybe ask why Nagin keeps harping that the President should have commandeered 500 Greyhound busses to help him when according to his own emergency plan and documents he claimed to have over 500 busses at his disposal to use between the local school busses and the city transportation busses - but he never raised a finger to prepare them or activate them.

This is a sad time for all of us to see that a major city has all but been
destroyed and thousands of people have died with hundreds of thousands more suffering, but it's certainly not a time for people to be pointing fingers
and trying to find a bigger dog to blame for local corruption and
incompetence. Pray to God for the survivors that they can start their lives
anew as fast as possible and we learn from all the mistakes to avoid them in
the future.

I know that first artical I posted was racist...I just wanted to see what people had to say about it...I find the more America gets away from the good book, the more problems we will have like this.
 
Said the pot to the kettle...

What about citing sources? Obviously, you did not write post #14 yourself, so where is a link to the source?

You must give credit where credit is due. You must cite these things! Quote tags would be nice, too.
