Katrina's Hidden Race War

lol @ ST, bc he raises a good point.
If you read any of my previous posts, I'm inclined to agree.
The South, Louisiana, and NO in particular are retarded. That city is built in a horrible position, we also spend billions of dollars diverting water from the Mississippi River to fucking NO. The city is poor, broke down, and sinking. Corruption and bad governance are the norm, and we have to continue to support this shit.
In my previous posts I SAID: all of the shit which happened in pre-Katrina NO should have served as a warning of what could happen in the absence of security, but none of these IDIOTS payed any attention.
Sometimes I wish the south won, so we wouldn't have to deal with their stupidity.
SuicideTaxi, let's assume you do possess secret, arcane knowledge of New Orleans which this professional investigative reporter (who spent 18 months interviewing people for this piece) is completely ignorant of. Then couldn't you just say the point of this piece is to show the terrible state of that mystical place where the laws of logic and civilization don't apply? To show that New Orleans is such a fucked up place, like you keep insisting?
btw, here's the video accompanying the article:

Yes. I'm sure they were just innocently walking through.
Those rednecks were toally in the right.
I was born in Natchez, Mississippi. When I was 3, we moved to Jackson, Mississippi. When I was 6, we moved to Fairday, Louisiana. When I was 7, we moved to Jefferson, Louisiana, where I lived until I was 9. Then we moved to Giddings, Texas, and a few months later to Houston, Texas, where I am now. I stayed in Park Place Apartments, attended Jefferson Elementary, and had a huge crush (that I still kind of have now) on my 4th grade teacher Mrs. Transou.
You're an incredibly ignorant, racist, and warped human being. Excuse the ad hominem, but I think you need to reassess your life. You're a 30-something slimeball who hangs onto his glory days as a video game shoutcaster, spends all of his time sitting on computers, and can barely say he's successful, even at his great IT job. The likelihood that you're "right" about anything philosophical is highly unlikely.
Okay, that's something that is tangible and could actually be "argued".
Had the reporter gone in unbiased and gave the full picture, showed just how fucked up New Orleans really was, how ignorant the overwhelming majority of blacks in the town was/is, how racist many of the whites are, explored why the situation was what it was, then sure, it'd be a good article. But he didn't do that, did he? What he did instead was he went Scuzzle and applied the logic and rationality of... Toledo or some fucking place, and painted a picture of "oh look at the poor oppressed black people and the mean racist whiteys..."
Which is complete and total bullshit.
I notice the glaring lack of an "I lived, worked, and operated in New Orleans" statement in this post.
Go figure
P.S. - nice job completely avoiding the part where I mentioned this kind of thing never occurred in Washington, Florida, Ohio, Mississippi, Texas, or pretty much anywhere else in the United States where there's been a natural disaster.
But hey... let's not let anything as inconvenient as facts get in the way of your perfectly ridiculous argument.
Carry on.

i cant wait until all old racist people are dead so we don't have to listen to them anymore
never happen.
Oh yes, of course... you, with all your experience not living or working in New Orleans, know much better than anyone who actually lived and worked in New Orleans.
Your entire argument is based upon a ludicrous assumption that New Orleans is so radically different from the rest of human society that no standards of normativity can apply.
If you for a moment step back from your position and consider what would happen if we universally applied this I think you'd see why it's so idiotic. Would you like it if I policed every opinion you ever formed about something you don't have direct experience of and suggest that unless you're a protagonist in the thing itself then you cannot comment or hope to understand it?
I mean even aside from the ludicrous state of affairs this perpetuates, it's built on a principle that is massively flawed. Why is the viewpoint of the first hand observer the most correct, or the most insightful, or the most informed? If I wanted to know about WW2 in East Africa I could either talk to my grandfather who was there and has an entirely subjective and narrow view of the matter, or I could read a synoptic book by someone who wasn't there but collected data from multiple people who were. Which will give me the better picture?
I don't know why I wasted three paragraphs on that but basically I'm saying you're a fucking idiot.
okay thanks for your valuable insight as always aidswater
hey you're the one that thinks that after the history of man has shown that differences are always attacked that somehow it will stop with the 'old' generation
nope, just amused me at your stupidity.
