Officials Warned New Orleans Citizens They'd Be on Their Own
Before residents had ever heard the words "Hurricane Katrina," the New Orleans TIMES-PICAYUNE ran a story warning residents: If you stay behind during a big storm, you'll be on your own!
Staff writer Bruce Nolan reported some 7 weeks before Katrina: "In scripted appearances being recorded now, officials such as Mayor Ray Nagin, local Red Cross Executive Director Kay Wilkins and City Council President Oliver Thomas drive home the word that the city does not have the resources to move out of harm's way an estimated 134,000 people without transportation."
"In the video, made by the anti-poverty agency Total Community Action, they urge those people to make arrangements now by finding their own ways to leave the city in the event of an evacuation.
"You're responsible for your safety, and you should be responsible for the person next to you," Wilkins said in an interview. "If you have some room to get that person out of town, the Red Cross will have a space for that person outside the area. We can help you."

It's kind of hard for EVERYONE to do that but you know whatever.Butters wrote:The point is people without cars were supposed to find people with cars to dump them off somewhere away from the coast. It's really not that hard to find a friend who's willing to help you if you allow a few days time.

Wouldn't most of theeir friends also be from the poorest areas, and therefore unlikely to have a car?Butters wrote:The point is people without cars were supposed to find people with cars to dump them off somewhere away from the coast.

Not necessarily. This is America and people can socialize with anyone, regardless of salary. This is America. Cars aren't reserved for the rich. This is America where a poor man ridin in his 93 Chevy can fly down the highway at 90 mph shootin the bird to some rich white bitch in a 05 Escalade who really don't know how to handle it.az_bont wrote:Wouldn't most of theeir friends also be from the poorest areas, and therefore unlikely to have a car?Butters wrote:The point is people without cars were supposed to find people with cars to dump them off somewhere away from the coast.

True. But if you are surrounded by other poor people then odds are you're mostly going to meet other poor people.TreyDay wrote:Not necessarily.

I thought the whole reason they were stuck there is because they were so poor they didn't have their own transport.TreyDay wrote:This is America where a poor man ridin in his 93 Chevy can fly down the highway at 90 mph shootin the bird to some rich white bitch in a 05 Escalade who really don't know how to handle it.
Incidentally, you don't have to keep reminding me "this is America". For someone who complains so much about how poorly blacks are treated over there, you really do go on about how great it is all the time.

Some of them had cars, but couldn't afford the gas. And the guy was going 90 mph and got pulled over the cops beat him to death.az_bont wrote:I thought the whole reason they were stuck there is because they were so poor they didn't have their own transport.TreyDay wrote:This is America where a poor man ridin in his 93 Chevy can fly down the highway at 90 mph shootin the bird to some rich white bitch in a 05 Escalade who really don't know how to handle it.

I DO have to remind you this is America. I want you to remember you're talking to an American, so respect me. And I never said America was great. Just greater than your country.

That doesn't matter! They would still be poor when the hurricane hit, and so they wouldn't be able to help their neighbours escape.TreyDay wrote:Not necessarily.

So... they were so poor they didn't have their own transport. Which is exactly what I said .TreyDay wrote:Some of them had cars, but couldn't afford the gas.az_bont wrote:I thought the whole reason they were stuck there is because they were so poor they didn't have their own transport.TreyDay wrote:This is America where a poor man ridin in his 93 Chevy can fly down the highway at 90 mph shootin the bird to some rich white bitch in a 05 Escalade who really don't know how to handle it.
Why should you deserve automatic respect because you happened to be born in America?TreyDay wrote:I DO have to remind you this is America. I want you to remember you're talking to an American, so respect me.az_bont wrote:Incidentally, you don't have to keep reminding me "this is America".

You are the most vocal racist on the entire board. I do not respect racists.

Go read the history books. Go read today's paper. That's why you should respect me as an American. Always in the news, but whether good news or not, we overcome.az_bont wrote:Why should you deserve automatic respect because you happened to be born in America?
I'm not racist. I'm just telling you that George Bush is racist and doesn't care about black people. And if you can't see that, then YOU ARE the real racist.You are the most vocal racist on the entire board. I do not respect racists.
And Hawq is a more vocal racist than I am.

Uh did I miss something here? where the hell did that come from? regardless of that out of nowhere fatuous comment you are right on one thing, the US gov has seemed to have a 'let the blackies fend for themselves/die while we concentrate on the white folk' attitude (note thats an example of the thoughts they must have had there, so many white folk saved first)TreyDay wrote:Go read the history books.

75% of people in America below the poverty line are white. Blame Bush all you want, but the local officials failed much worse.TreyDay wrote:Go read the history books. Go read today's paper.

You know exactly where it comes from. You may seem to be on the side of black people here, but that's only because you hate America. And there are more Americans than any certain group of Americans, so instead of taking side with the white people, you take the side with less Americans so you can hate on the side with more Americans.Hawq wrote:Uh did I miss something here? where the hell did that come from? regardless of that out of nowhere fatuous comment you are right on one thing, the US gov has seemed to have a 'let the blackies fend for themselves/die while we concentrate on the white folk' attitude (note thats an example of the thoughts they must have had there, so many white folk saved first)TreyDay wrote:Go read the history books.

So what? 90% of millionares are white. There's more white people in America, so there going to be more of them in any statistic you put out there.75% of people in America below the poverty line are white. Blame Bush all you want, but the local officials failed much worse.
