lilchick629 Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 i'll go protest with her----LETS BRING THEM BACK!!!! its funny---when i turn on the tv to watch whats going on---you see nothing but black people stranded and looking for help--majority of people there are blacks--------I wonder if the government would have acted differently if it was a white community??? would they have sent more help???? sooner???? its hard not to notice racial issues in these matters :( and i am totally outraged by the "looting vs finding" post :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sienna Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 exactly! i like how you think lilchick! i have a lot of friends in new orleans, and they are always complaining of how the govt seems to forget them, just because it is mostly a city of blacks and hispanics.

berrywoman Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 have you seen the pictures of the interstate?? Its terrible.. these people are literally sleeping on asphalt!!!! I remember when I was in FL during Hurricane Andrew.. the eye passed over Homestead.... a prodominantly Mexican neighborhood.. and many of these people.. were in hiding because they were illegal... it was a different situation then.. some of these people even hid in the everglades beacuse they were afraid they would get deported.. but what I am trying to say is this.. even then, it was a few days til people saw any type of relief. Actually, maybe 1 day had passed.. and crews were out.. I can understand that is difficult here because of the water.. but come on!!! I think we are sophisticated enough to figure something out.

Manders Posted September 1, 2005 Author Share Posted September 1, 2005 that whole looting finding stuff is pretty bad. i was expecting it to say "looting a best buy" or something. like looting and finding are different if it is necessity like food it is usually find but if it is tv or what not it is loot. weird im shocked that they said loot and find for the same thing. stupid people.

an_cat Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 zairgirl, I will keep you and your family and friends in my thoughts. Really. The only thing that's been running through my mind all day is one song lyric. "Well I never pray, but tonight I'm on my knees, yeah." I don't know who I'll direct my thoughts to, but I honestly hope that they will send something good your way. I watched the coverage on ABC just an hour ago, and I was incredibly moved. People helping people. It outwieghs the footage of people HURTING people. And that just... Really made me tear up. And the heros. The hospital workers!!! The only working hospital in New Orleans stayed working, it consisted of the day old infants in urgant care, and the very elderly people. If they had been moved, they surely wouldn't have survived. One 3 week old baby relied on one machine. If it had stopped working they would have to manually turn the device in a rotation to keep his tiny heart beating! And miraculously, the power stayed on. I've never believed in anything before this. That's starting to change. There are people who put their own lives on the line to save a tiny little soul that has no idea what is going on. It just really choked me up..... Made me think about how we work. For every one bad person, there's 20 good ones. And the miracle that these little babies lived, that technology stayed on in that one hospital... Ah. I GET SO EMOTIONAL LMFAO! :cry: *done* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zairgirl Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Thank You an_cat and lilchick629 for your kind words and prayers. they really mean a lot to me and my family. I hope and pray that many others are as fortunate as I. It is sad that it takes a tragedy to unite this nation, but at least we can and do come together. God has many mysterious ways of making everything somehow work and that thought is what gets me through each day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berrywoman Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 It is currently 123am EST and I have just received a phone call from my friend Ricardo who lived in Kenner.. he and his wife left Kenner on Saturday and are currently in Houston as well. The only thing I can say is... thank you to the kind people of Texas who have so graciously opened their hearts and arms to those in need. Their neighbors from Louisiana.. bless their souls. Cardo infromed me that they are all fine.. (and I found out his wife is preggers again!) which is lovely. She was suppose to find out the sex of the baby today.. but as many LA'ers.. they had to leave their lives behind. He says that he has no flood damage to their home. Someone who stayed behind has gone to check out their property.. and as of yet, not water damage.. (or so it seemed) but he did have some structural damage to his home. He sounded so sad... my heart was aching.. but I was so overjoyed to hear from him. :cry: Thanks to all who prayed.. and keep praying.. there are thousands of souls who still need our help. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egghead Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Bourbon blues on the street loose and complete Under skies all smoky blue-green I can forksake the dixie dead shake So we dance the sidewalk clean My memory is muddy what's this river I'm in New Orleans is sinking and I don't want to swim Colonel Tom What's wrong? What's Going On You can't tie yourself up for a deal He said "Hey North you're south shut you big mouth You gotta do what you feel is real." Ain't got no picture postcards ain't go no souvenirs My baby she don't know me when I'm thinking about those years Pale as a light bulb hanging on a wire Sucking up to someone just stoke the fire Picking out the highlights of the scenery Saw a little cloud looked a little like me I had my hand in the river My feet back up on the banks Looked up to the lord above and said hey man thanks Some time I fell so good I gotta scream She says Gordy baby I know exactly what you men She said, she said I sweat to god she said::.
