Re:3901 Metropolitan Street, New Orleans, LA

Hey thanks for that input, and I'm glad to hear that you're a Republican/Conservative. How's that working out for you?

But let me say that repeating everything Michelle Malkin says isn't exactly "original" commentary.

Really, if you want to place blame - there is enough to go around. But let's be honest: FEMA failed in doing its job. The National Guard was stationed in the wrong country. The president took his time, doing fundraisers the day after impact. New Orleans and Louisiana are led by Democrats.

Let me guess, you'll say Rudy Giuliani should run fro president or that he was "so great" or the "hero" of 9/11? Bull shit - he's a fucking asshole who make money off of all of this "preparedness" that we talk so much about. In fact, people like Rudy is exactly the reason that we weren't ready for this disaster. He makes so much noise about terrorism, and has drained everyone's budgets dry with these cries about the sky falling. Really, he just wants to make some money from these ventures.

He's a fucking cock sucker you hear me?

They could have at least gotten out the people who weren't capable of walking to St. John or St. Charles Parish

Of course, you must know by now that the Parishes weren't letting people past the county line. Yes, this was after the impact, but they turned them back because they were "looters."

Re:Accusations of racism are ridiculous

You want facts? How about quotes?:

"It almost appears to me that the hand of gods [sic] is reaching down to smite the Southern Babylon."

"I'm of the opinion that Mother Nature would be doing everybody a favor by cleansing the inner city."

"It would be great if all the Whites could be evacuated and they could leave the groids/muds behind but we know that won't happen. The best we can hope for is that the best architecture stands and the casualties keep the n----r funeral homes busy."

"Let us bow our heads and pray together that half the jig population of New Orleans stayed behind to do some lootin' and this one finishes them all off. And Lord, let's hope all the faggots in the French Quarters stay as well."

"Mother Nature is a bitch and I don't have a problem with that at all. Especially when it leads to the possible culling of species detrimental to my race and country."

I could go on and on. Interesting article on the (post-Katrina) rasism here

Of course, feel free to stick your fingers in your ears and chant "la la la" while you live in the delusion that racial equality is present in the USA. The prison populations say otherwise and poverty & crime go hand in hand. How are blacks supposed to inprove their standard of living when those interviewing them a often racist hicks?

Obviously I struck a chord pointing out this racism, down to -1 flamebait withing 30 minutes of posting...truth hurts, doesn't it? Don't even get me started on how you view other countries; the hate is even more venonmous.
