    Black in America

    More from mll1127

    The Heroes of the Ninth Ward are Brad Pitt, Make it Right, the Unsung Heroes, and not Ray Nagin, etc

     
    "OK let me see if I get this straight, a black mayor running a predominantly black city where 27% of the people are under the poverty line. That translates to about oh, 50,000 households that don't own a car. He orders an evacuation and leaves the most vunerable of his constituents behind with no means to get out. These by the way are the facts, now here are the questions; 1. Did Mayor Ray Nagin know these folks did not have cars? 2. Did Mayor Ray Nagin not care that these folks had cars? 3. Did Mayor Ray Nagin care about these poor folks period? Here we have this nigger, who is pointing the finger at everyone but himself trying to lay the blame at everyone elses feet to deflect blame from his utter and inexcusable incompetence. Yes, I agree the Feds response was pathetically slow, but when the water recedes and the body count mounts, the majority of this should be placed at the feet of Mayor Ray, an obvious failure within our own leadership. The stench coming out of New Orleans comes from years of corruption, not caring about the poor and of course, the welfare state. There are a lot of black folks who left New Orleans, but nobody is talking about that. Do you know what those folks have in common? Most of them are self-sufficient. You foolish-ass negroes can keep blaming as many white folks as you like. Everytime I see a black mayor, I see black folks suffering in misery, continuing to add to the permanent underclass. Isn't it interesting though that we never hear about the stench that always resided in city hall before. The media was strangely silent when everybody was "shucking and jiving" along, black folks living in poverty and horrible conditions. Now that we have a tragedy which exposes Mayor Ray Nagin and his cronies along with that incompetent ass Governor, the blame should go to Bush. That's OK though, because the people that lost their loved ones, they know the deal,.....they know the deal" by Big Shaft
  • The
  • people of Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans know who the real heroes are, the true heroes being Brad Pitt , the foundation "Make it Right", and the many unsung heroes.......... .............. and not New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin or former Congressman William Jefferson! ********************************************** .......The misguided Black middleclass at it again...... ....Spending one million dollars for the Black indigent to witness the inauguration of President-Elect Barack "the Magic Negro" Obama will not ease poverty in the Black community, feed the hungry, cloth the Black poor, reduce Black homelessness, help Black people who are hurting financially, avoid or stop the foreclosure of any Black homeowner's house, rebuild the Ninth ward in New Orleans, bring redress to innocent U.S. born Black men, women, or any Black child violated by the atrocities of government, etc.
