"Bush Doesn't Like Black People..."

Im so sick of all these folks that have to put a racial spin on anything that gets air time. Katrina was a natural disaster that happend to AMERICANS. It didn't happen to black people, white people, hispanics, or asians. It hit us all and we are all effected by it. Here in Houston where over 175000 people have been displaced, we are doing everything we can do. I was in the NSX this sat. night and got screamed at by a group of guys from NO that were pissed I was driving an NSX and they had nothing. Had they aproached me and said they were from NO and needed help, I would have done everything in my power to help. But yelling "hey whiteboy, give me that car so I can go back to New Orleans" aint gonna cut it.
 
Unfortunatly Fox and CNN (imo) has devoted 85-90% of its 24/7 coverage to New Orleans proper where the majority of the stranded citizens are African American.The percentage of whites seems to be greater in the other coastal towns devestated,but we don't see that aspect as much.

I know what you mean. After about two days of coverage I was talking to some family and we noticed how a lot of the footage was of black people looting and being displaced from their homes. The comment was made, 'Well....any day now we will hear some of the black leaders claiming this NATURAL DISASTER is somehow victimizing black people, and the complaining will start,' and sure enough it did. You almost want to reach through the TV and slap the people and say, 'Look...this is happening to EVERYONE! It is not just YOU,' but that would not be PC now would it. :rolleyes:


(P.S.--By the way...looting a neighbors house and stealing a home stereo or car does not help you 'survive'....it just means you are a criminal. Period. Last time I checked you could not eat 20 pairs of shoes, or drink a new 24 inch TV.....if people are going to steal, fine, but do not use a disaster as the catalyst for your behavior.)
 
kayne west is an over egotistical rapper who's sorta done well for himself this past year with his albumn release.... but with his fame comes his HUGE overinflated ego. he's gone on wild antics at music awards bitchin' and whining cause he didn't win, and he said he got robbed. he's always been a person who always wants to voice his opinions "right or wrong".... usually ends up making him look worse in the public eye, and frankly i think stupid... his music im sure people will have varying opinions about, i think its he's actually okay and decent as a rapper... but as a public spokesperson... haha...

PS - haha... and mike meyer's facial reaction is PRICELESS... he should have held up his pinky to his mouth like dr. evil.... and that cut to chris tucker... he should have said "F#$&, do YOU understand the WORDS coming outta your MOUTH?"
 
Maybe if some of 'em had voted for him, he'da liked 'em better.

Nothing is more encouraging than having someone who lashes out at you all the time in hate and then they fall through the ice and are crying for help.

She is nuts...she spent more time on that interview making sure a tear did not mess up her make-up or her hair did not get out of place than I have ever seen. She is saying people should just go down and do something....okay, Celine, then get up and YOU go down there as well. Oh wait!! That might mess up your make-up... :rolleyes:

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!

I can see how people... on the outside of this ....will get pissed off. I have reviewed and discussed newspaper photos with captions showing Blacks LOOTING.. while whites... doing the same thing with captions FINDING items and indicating their resourcefullness...WHAT!! :mad:

So, MY thoughts on Mr. Kayne West. He is a good starter Entertainer. :rolleyes: A spokesman for me (being black..which I am) I can speak for myself always. And BTW not everyone PLAYS THE BLACK CARD. So, if it is mentioned, try and look at the entire picture. Some throw it out there with no rhyme or reason, some need to take it and bi%$^ed slapped across the face of certain people to wake them up. Therefore, I do not need for anyone to be PC with me. Be yourself. I'll repect you much more.

Don't that their words out of context, It was meant to be funny.

The Walmart video had one white guy in it. The rest were blacks, INCLUDING THE POLICE.

Conyay was trying to be funny? He didn't look funny. And, nobody was laughing.
 
Just a little clarity for the cheap seats. Most blacks(and some whites) are not complaining about the hurricane, its the response time it took for help or something positive to take place in light of the situation and how black people are being portrayed in the news. Nobody has any food but blacks are "looting" and "whites" are finding food. The bush administration took a little to long and Fema didn't act fast enough, well who knows. People were suffering and our president didn't act in a very concerned matter. Tax paying blacks are being called "refugees" in a country were they pay taxes like everyone else. I agree with Kanye's message, not his exact statement. Blacks are only 15% of the population in these united states. This is not a race card thing. I cannot comment on asian and other minorites(they probably got beef too) in these united states, but i can speak about being black. I believe and all of you know if this had been in a heavy populated white city, the news would have been different. I don't get mad when i see roots or when i see a white girl who's missing for 3 hours( and got the entire country looking for her) and a black girl or hispanic thats missing for months(and not a fk'n peep), why do you care what Kanye said. Nothing will change, we will all be divided in the united states. That is his opinion(that's what everyone else says). When you are portrayed in the media as "these people or those refugee's and other ignorant stuff", its hard to not wonder the reasons for it. WE all know what happened in the OJ case. I couldn't tell he was found not guilty. He could have cut his 1st wifes(she was black) head clean off and pissed down her throat and he would have gotten a slap on the hand. But that shit happened to some white folks, end of that story. In a country were a man was DRUG BEHIND A PICK UP TRUCK(for what?????), the race card will always be in someone's hand one way or the other. I personally don't care who you are or where you come from as long as you treat me the way you want to be treated, im cool. I have many friends of different backgrounds, and some are on the forum, but i'm just saying what is true. Kanye West worked to get what he has and were he is. He should be able to speak his mind. I guess people should at least try to understand why he said what he said or why he did what he did. Thats what most minorites have been doing in the United States for decades.
