The working (please note I didn't say "white") people are not congregated on the street waiting for help because they took it upon themselves to do what was necessary to protect themselves. That's how they got be be "people of means". The unfortunates still seeking relief are wards of the government, totally dependent upon government to do their thinking for them. Most are fine people. They have never learned to be accountable for their own well being. Unless they are led by the hand, fed, sheltered and doctored by public agencies, they have no clue as to what to do. That is what anti-welfare proponents have been saying all along. You are not helping people by giving them all of their basic necessities. As the saying goes: Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he'll eat forever.

Excellent post. I see how many of the people stay in this cycle of dependency. My Father was career military. Growing up, I was amazed that there was a civillian element who had to take care of their own medical, housing, and other essential services. Yes, my Dad had a job which afforded us these benefits. But as a child, all I knew was an ID card took care of a lot things for free or at a discount. Kids that grow up in dependency and never have mentors that teach them that they can succeed in that other world don't have a chance. Failing to challenge those in poverty to realize their potential as our equals is a great disservice.

As much as I dislike Jackson, he at least came here and is trying to do some good.

I heard Jackson on the radio earlier today saying that the reason that the evacuation efforts had shut down was because the refugees that are there are primarily black....not because the choppers are taking fire from morons on the ground. This just proves to me that not only is he ignorant but that it seems like he is using this catastrophic event to stir the pot even more than he has in the past to promote himself to his "following" even more. That, my friends, is very low. o:

It's hard for me to even comprehend what you just posted. How can he say that and really believe it!!??!! I'm sure the Government agencies are executing their secret "master" plan to punish all the blacks in New Orleans.

Maybe I'm just out of touch with reality........

Nah, he's just a freaking idiot. Maybe he should volunteer for some patrols around town to see what's going really going on.

Don't preach to people who are angry and frustrated. On MSNBC just now, Al Sharpton was asked if he should condemn the acts of those who are doing the most damage. He said yes, but then goes into a tirade about where were the police, why didn't they get a handle on it, where is the government...etc..I flew into a profanity laced rage and walked in here to blow off some steam. Another thing I realized, as I saw all of the angry people at the Superdome screaming at the cameras, asking where the help is. I realized that these are all people who have depended on the government all of their lives to provide them with food, shelter, transportation and all of the necessities of day to day living. Now, they are thrust into an untenable situation where they have to fend for themselves and they have no idea how to do it. They have no clue how to do for themselves. They are totally dependent on the government and without immediate help, the either lash out in anger or drop to the floor with a wailing moan that would put any drama queen to shame. I'm just going to have to stop watching the news.
