MasterDebater06 said:OF COURSE IT IS!!!
First off, i'm black and I live in Mississippi. When the hurricane hit those suburbs in
Florida, they already had plans ready for what they're going to do. When it hit New
Orleans, these people were left with no food and water
and Bush never flew over there what...5 days later?!
The mayor of New Orleans was RIGHT for blasting Bush on that station because it is too late.
If this was Malibu, California where there are alot of rich white people, the Pres
would have been there the next day.
I even saw on TV where they showed blacks looting out of stores but they
talked to some white people coming out of the same stores and said that those families
FOUND those things.
The only people that I can give a hand to is the American Red Cross. They are
on the ball.
Another question, they have all those buses lined up now to take these people
to Texas...so if they could have done that..why didn't they do it BEFORE the hurricane.

I'll tell you why, because they knew it would be mostly blacks that couldn't get
Out of New Orleans. Rich white men probably sitting at their desks saying..."forget those
niggas, we gotta protect our businesses and casinos first"

No it was actually it was a day and half late on Wednesday after the storm.
The mayor is trying to shirk his responsibility. HE has the primary responsbility for the
well being of his citizens followed by the Govenor. You do know she has REFUSED to
let the federal government take over the situation. The local and state officials are the
first responders and it was THIER job to get people out and then to make sure that the aid
was there immediately after the storm. The Fed's are there to assist and only at the
request of the local officials.

Hey Yo Yo!
Did BUSH wait to get OFFICAL notice from the GOV of N.Y. after 911 before he sent help there?
And YO YO, why do you think we have the "NATIONAL GUARDS?"
To fight for the rights of people in IRAQ?:roll:
There were NOT enough National guards in the states that got hit! Does the GOV of Louisiana have the power to return HIS STATE National Guards from IRAQm where Bush sent them?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
And there would not have been the utter anachry and lawlessness that the black people of
New Orleans engage in either making it safer for him to visit. Of course had he been there
the next day the you and others would have complained he was grandstanding.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
DUH! Are you saying that Bush wouldn't be protected if he went to Louisiana the next day?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
They were nowhere to be seen the first five days because it was too dangerous do to the
behavior of the people left there.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Too DANGEROUS for Bush to be there?:roll:
Like those 10 black men with shotguns could't be controled if Bushie Boy went there early.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
That is the job of the mayor and govenor but the more important question is why did the
mayor let all the buses get flooded out.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Yup! The MAYOR parked all those busses right where he thought they would get floded! It too him 5 days to do that all by himself!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Which is belied by the outpouring of help and assistence that is being provided by white
men and women.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
So now your saying that there are NO BLACK men or women in our National Guards helping out in Louisiana?:doh :roll:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Yes i could get it to paste into my post for some reason. The use of those buses and the city transit buses was part of the contingent plan the city had and Nagin failed to implement it even after Bush had called him beggin him to implement the evacuation plan. Blance failed to act claiming she needed to think about it.

If that is the case we are all doomed.

Unless there is a fundimental change, Yep.

The area of New Orleans was completely flooded. Rescurers could only save the citizens of New Orleans by boat or helicopter. Even if we had an abundant amount of food and water, distributing the food and water to the helpless citizens will be very difficult since the means of transporting them are limited or were destroyed during the hurricane. Bush flew over New Oreleans 5 days after the hurricane b/c he's was meeting with rescue groups such as the American Red Cross to devise the most effective plan to save as many lives as possible.
As I watched the news, they covered all the gas stations in Jackson, MS where mostly blacks were going. They showed blacks fighting and getting arrested. They never went to Madison, MS where whites were doing the exact same thing. Blacks are being unfairly treated by the media AND the government. The only people that I can give a hand to is the
American Red Cross. They are on the ball.
Yea, the media is pretty unfair to the blacks during the hurricane. Most of the looters depicted on the news were blacks.

Moderator's Warning: Removed pic link while correcting line breaks, it was not working correctly.
Which is belied by the outpouring of help and assistence that is being provided by white men and women. Of course I guess if they had listened to you first they all would have said why they hell should we care if that is the attitude of the black community.
HTColeman said:And the mayor was down in New Orleans doing all he could,
but no one was helping him.
Was he trying to finish up his vacation? What's the hold up? He didn't take so long when the Hurricanes hit Florida.
First off, I believe you are referring to the GOVERNOR.
I think she lost her cool, she didn't know what to do,
and she did not refuse gov't help.
Has anyone noticed that whenever W. Bush is in trouble he gets his daddy to speak
You are bordering on racism with that comment.
Imagine you are left without help for a week, sewage water and dead bodies surround you, you have no food or water, yes there was anarchy because there was no leadership, but the mayor was down there in N.O. doing what he could, but one mayor only has so much power.
vauge said:Was this the pic you were refering to?
I don't know why the gov. wasn't helping, at this point I am criticizing all the leaders, as there was no leadership, I believe the mayor obviously made major mistakes in planning, but at least he was trying to do something immediately after.Stinger said:No he was not, he was not getting the buses moving as the plan called for, he was not getting security into the Dome as the plan called for, he was not ordering the evactuation as the plan called for.
Why wasn't the governor, the person who should have been helping him, helping him?
There was nothing he could do in Washington that he could not do while he was working in Texas. It was Bush who was on the phone with the Govenor and Mayor beggin they issued the evactuation order and they refused.
No I was specifically speaking of the Mayor,
Yep and still doesn't. She and the mayor are still arguing over what to do and she refuses to turn it over to the Fed's. She didn't even request it till after the fact and she refused to let the American Red Cross go in.
Has anyone noticed how childish your post is?
And then throw out the "r" word.
If most of the looters were black why it is unfair to show that? The New Orleans black community has a history of lawlessness. The crime rate there is almost 10 times that of the rest of the nation and it is the murder capital of the country. The city has been in a downward sprial for decades because of this. Lawlessness is not frowned upon in the black society, if you watch black entertainment and listen to black music it is heralded and those who engage in it are admired. The few blacks who speak out against it are called Uncle Tom's and I totally expect the next respone to me is that I am a racist or that I hate blacks because the people refuse to see the reality and refuse to come to the conclusion that something HAS to be done about it. Over 60% of black males will spend time in jail, and everyone wants to ignore the breakdown of black society. What happened in New Orleans came as no surprise to me, I totally expected that the black community would fall into total lawlessness and mayhem. It is far worse than I could have imagined and it is ongoing as I type.
The fact is change is going to have to come from within that community, and a good first step would be for members of that community to step up and condemn the gangsta criminal mentality and urge everyone turn in those who looted or committed other crimes.
