so if katrina is americas tsunami,,,,????

heh thanks I stole deaths sig Not much work's been hectic two more classes untill I get my BA but I'm putting them off untill this spriING.
Oh I would love to visit there...lucky girl

 

eek, not girl

anyways, thats sad if its true. However, thats 1927...we're i n 2005, thats a big difference...

 

I thought it was hilarious watching helicopters drop sandbags into the levees rather huge holes...... it was like dropping marbles in a bathtub.

 

i checked out that link and dont see that the only reference i saw to the flood of 1927 was
"About a fifth of New Orleans residents live below the poverty line, and one in five does not have a car. This disadvantaged population is overwhelmingly African-American. The South has a sordid history when it comes to poor blacks and hurricanes. In 1927, when the Mississippi flooded, blacks were herded as virtual prisoners upriver in Greenville, Miss. As a steamboat, half-filled with whites, took off to safety, the band played "Bye-Bye, Blackbird." Racial tensions may have been even worse this time round. "I think the black population feels abandoned, and they were abandoned" in Katrina, says John M. Barry, author of "Rising Tide," a history of the Great Flood of 1927."

 

but stil that area of the untied states is a lot less progressive. There's a lot of racial tensions, rightfully so because of past abuse and basic segreation and obvliviation for an entire segment of our population. Would that ever happen in california ?-no but in the south racism is unfortunatley accepted among a lot of white people.

 

once again your clueless, in your bubble,, the south is one of the least rascist places in the united states,, you should come live here for a couple years then comment...

 

half of my family lives in mississippi My companies national headquarters are in atlanta. I've been exposed

 

apperantly your family an the corporate headquarters of where you work are the minority section of the south,,..

im sorry your mississippi family associates with rascists and bigots,, as well as im saddenned and disturbed that thru your corporate office youve saw rascism in atlanta,, the home of rue paul,whitney an bobby, p diddy has a home there,, the list gos on..

Thats really disturbing,, so what corprate office is this?/ im sure theres a lotta folks in atlanta that would love to here this story??

 

my corperate office is primarily black, they don't tend to hire a lot of white people. My family is full of bigots over there-I no longer talk to any of them-for different reasons

 

oh so your saying there is reverse rascism going on in your corporate headquarters by entightlement mentality ,rich,powerfull ,prodomint black folks?? and your mississippi family is full of inbred rscist biggots??
how nice..

 

my company serves primamrily poor black youth and they have an equal proportion of service to worker emplyees racialy. parts of my family back there are evil and I want no part of them in my life

 

so explain how you witnessed acceppted rascism in atlanta thru visiting your corporate office??

i mean i growed up in marieatta,, well from 10 to 15,, my granma had a farm in smyrna all my life,, i went to highschool.. (well 5th thru 9th grade) in cobb county..

ive tripped at the old omni an camped out for tickets for the who an rode bycicles trippin balls all thru downtown at 3 in the mornin..

what the fuck you talkin about any kind of rascism in atlanta??

an please leave out the entightlement mentality in yer responce,, cause that is neither oppression nor rascism its a personall choice handed down thru brainwashing..

 

no offense but this is a sensitive subject for me so I think I'll stop. I didn't mean to insult as I know not ALL people fromt he south fit that stereotype.

 

I think deep down everyone is at least a little racist towards someone or something, some are just better at hiding it than others is all. Emotions bring out the worst in people sometimes and in my opinion people are just over emotional. It's not like this is the Watts riots or anything.

 

that would by definition be a "biggot" not a "rascisct" there lodog..

an perhaps some are whithin,, but very few in the south..

An lynsey its ok sweetheart ya didnt offend,, i knew ya couldnt keep up..

Luv N Lite...

 

yeah, like seeing and hearing about all those black people looting, raping, beating, and murdering, makes me hate black people.

 

does it??

im sorry to hear that..

 

i think girls from the dominican republic are great ....the white ones the black ones and the brownish ones too !
