You can defend you super human racistvision all you want. It still doesn't make it fact and doesn't make it truth. Maybe you should use your super vision to look in a dictionary to make sure you are using words properly.

What an utter waste of time trying to debate such a closed minded person.

I'm not going to comment on the whole race thing.

The facts are that the Federal Government failed the people of Katrina on Bush's watch.

Michael Brown was the Director of FEMA. He was a Republican appointee whose only prior qualifications for this position was that he had judged Arabian horses.

Now tell me, how does judging Arabian horses qualify someone to be head of a Federal disaster agency?

You can go into what the state should have done, etc..., but the fact was that Michael Brown didn't do his job, coupled with the fact that many of the National Guard troops, which should have been in New Orleans keeping order, were over in Iraq.

What an utter waste of time trying to debate such a closed minded person. Just like a Springer guest, it's blah blah blah blah blah over you while you are trying to talk.

Close minded because you only want people to listen to what you have to say, but will not take into consideration to what they have to say. You are set in your mind that you are right, everyone else is wrong, and you think they should bend to you but not the other way around.

The people of New Orleans made their own grief. Instead of leaving, they stayed because they are used to the Government doing everything for them. Then instead of trying to make the best of the predicament they were in, they looted, vandalized, intimidated and took advantage of the weak and scared. Raping, stealing, destroying property. Acting worst than animals.

How can you overlook all the pillaging that was done? Are you acceptable to the actions of breaking in and stealing? Rape? Murder? I suppose you will try to find some type of argument to blame the Government for that too.

I had friends there who were shot at trying to help people. One friend used his own boat to try and get people out only to have a knife pulled on him and thrown out of his boat when he did rescue someone.

How is it the Government's fault when you are dealing with criminals who prefer to take advantage of the situation instead of helping out? In my opinion, they only made matters worse and more difficult because of it.

You can't help people who don't want to help themselves.. bottom line.

The only reason New Orleans was such a focal point of Hurricane Katrina was the damage and plight created by the people who know nothing more than how to cause trouble and hold their hands out for Government assistance. The media controlled what you saw. Did they spend as much time in Mississippi showing how they were putting themselves back together? No. Good news does not equal good press.

I respect the Governor of Mississippi for not waiting on assistance and taking responsibility for themselves. The people of New Orleans lack that responsibility. Just take a look at what is going on there now.

Open your eyes and quit blaming the Government. They could have helped themselves more than they did. Everyone else in the surrounding areas did, as did the people who were devastated by Hurricane Rita. Same Government; same Administration.... just more responsible people who took care of their own problems instead of standing around waiting for someone to do it for them.

Enough... I'm through with this s**t. Until you have lived it, don't say anything. You only show your ignorance.

Oh, and as for racists.... Who is more racist than Rev. Jackson, and Al Sharpton? Give me a break... you don't have to be white to be racist......

I find it interesting that the only thing people talk about concerning Katrina is New Orleans. Mississippi and Alabama were hit just as hard and you never hear a word about those areas. You also don't hear about the rest of Louisiana. Why do you suppose that is?

three huricane's hit florida 2 hit Miami with in a few weeks of each the distruction was very close to the same

the difference is Florida stepped up took care of things and is moving forward with out calling the fedral government to do all the work

why is this you ask....................coruption with in the Louisiania Government is out of control

Do I feel for the families yes...................but it is not the fedral governments fault it is there own fault because they keep electing the local politicians that keep steeling from there own people
