Glad you liked the ... ( 2 years ago by mrsmathers1700)

Glad you liked the video, and you're right. The disaster itself has nothing to do with white or black people. However, I wasn't just focusing on the hurricane in this video, which is why I added Kanye. (TBC in next message...)

I go to school in ... ( 2 years ago by mrsmathers1700)

I go to school in Louisiana, and a numerous amount of my friends lost their possessions, and some even lost loved ones. While we were watching the news to get updated on the hurricane, right along with images of the disaster, we saw images of black people looting, or doing other things. (TBC in next message...)

That is what Kanye ... ( 2 years ago by mrsmathers1700)

That is what Kanye was saying. Now, maybe his last liner was a bit much, but I, for one, agree with him on that, too. The issue is not white or black, but can you answer me this: why did it take so long to get help in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, and why did it take so little time to get help in N.Y. after 9/11?

Surely, they were ... ( 2 years ago by mrsmathers1700)

Surely, they were both horrible disasters whether they were natural or man made. Yes, I'm aware New Orleans wasn't the only area that was affected by the disaster, but I tried to base the video more so on New Orleans, than anything else. If you got offended, it's ok. I'm sure someone else out there agrees with you, and I'm sure there is someone else who agress with me. Thanx again.

I'm from Louisiana ... ( 2 years ago by windray1)

I'm from Louisiana and I lost my home to the storm, but I did not lose everything, but I did have to move. I will say this; They have been trying to educate the people about the necessity of evacuating on a CAT 3 or above. There were plenty people there that should have got out of town, but didn't. Then they expect to be 'taken care of' and mad that they weren't. (TBC in next message)

I was born and ... ( 2 years ago by windray1)

I was born and raised there and when you see a CAT 4 storm coming at you...you get the hell out period! So a lot of ppl need to STFU.

Um...yea. I guess ... ( 2 years ago by mrsmathers1700)

Um...yea. I guess some people do need to "STFU". Thanx for the comment...I guess.

Iv worked with a ... ( 2 years ago by jesse884)

Iv worked with a couple of katrina victims in my previous job, men who evacuated from 40 years of age down to 20 and I got to speak with all of them about the entire thing. Even after you see it on tv its still something else to experience the conversation of grown men who worked all ther lives at raising and developing their families and lives and lose it all or half or even just a quarter. Thats overwhelming!!
God Bless

Most had no ... ( 2 years ago by whywayne)

Most had no resources to get the hell out, let alone STFU.....

The reason it took ... ( 1 year ago by CourtyardPigeon)

The reason it took so much longer to get those people out is because it was such a vast area. It's not like they didn't have enough warning, they just thought it would pass through like they always did. The failure was in the government not being ready before it hit. Once all the water was coming in, what were they to do? Build an ark?

Even rich people ... ( 1 year ago by cartoontroll)

Even rich people got stuck because they're city people and don't have cars. The rental cars were gone and there was no public transport. The hwy was a parking lot for days. They just couldn't all get out.

I think if they'd ... ( 1 year ago by cartoontroll)

I think if they'd be rich black people GW would have cared more. The reason Kanye was racist is becuase he was only concerned about the black people. He didn't mention white people standing for days on levees in St Bernard or on the beach in MS.

No mention of asian ... ( 1 year ago by cartoontroll)

No mention of asian fisherman stranded in a sea of rubble around their wrecked boats in Biloxi or hispanic families who were afraid to get aid because even if they were legal, they didn't have their papers.

Again, just because ... ( 1 year ago by mrsmathers1700)

Again, just because Kanye failed to mention the other races that were in trouble doesn't make him a racist. Ignorant? Perhaps. Prejudice? Slightly, but definitely not racist. As I stated before, racism is discrimination or prejudice based on race.

As a black man ... ( 1 year ago by mrsmathers1700)

As a black man seeing other black people in trouble and not being helped as quickly as they probably could have been, it's more than logical that he would only mention the black people. I'm not saying I agree with what he said. As stated before, his comment was inappropriate. However, saying what he said doesn't make him a racist -- end of story.

9-11 happened over ... ( 1 year ago by cartoontroll)

9-11 happened over a several city blocks and involved thousands of people. There were fire and police stations all over the city which were not effected. Katrina happened over hundreds of square miles to hundreds of thousands of people and the ones we usually look to for help were no better off. That's why they say have a three day supply of food and water. It takes that long when it's just one city in bad shape.

I am a gulf coast ... ( 1 year ago by cartoontroll)

I am a gulf coast resident. I know people suffered, I've certainly seen a lot of suffering and still do. I also know that racism exists. I've certainly seen that growing up in the deep south from both ends. But some of the most racist people I know got their boats and went to NO the second they heard people were trapped. Because they're people. They were turned away because they didn't have guns and a man had been killed for his boat, so they went and found another place to launch from.

I'm not trying to ... ( 1 year ago by cartoontroll)

I'm not trying to be a jerk. I just think we should look beyond race for once and see it was the elderly who died in disproportionate numbers and the poor who suffered the most. We're all in the same boat now regardless of color or social class and we could do great things if we just got over these things that devide us.

Katrina took us by ... ( 1 year ago by whiutecloud24)

Katrina took us by supprise. If we need to blame someone, it should be the governer of louisiana.

great video, until ... ( 1 year ago by treadz75)

great video, until you end it with a spokesperson who spreads incindiary comments about race. did I mention that "she aint nuthin but a golddigger" it's not about color it's about helping out other human beings. it was just like 9-11, there is no plan for this type of thing. shut your mouth and offer someone a hand.
