September 1, 200521 yr 925401[/snapback] im pretty sure you could find a shot of some white looters if you tried hard enough.
September 1, 200521 yr i remember watching fox news the other day and bill o'reilly i think it was started mentioning "thugs" who were going out to loot and as soon as he said "thugs" they showed a shot of a young black man doing nothing other than looking at a car that got completely f***ed up by the storm. 925255[/snapback] Who else are they going to show if thats whos doing it 925314[/snapback] then why not put up shots of actual looters instead of just putting up a shot any random young black man who aint doing s***?
September 1, 200521 yr You're not going to see white people going to get a bunch of football jerseys. Hell, those people are not just black, they're POOR blacks. Classism in this case is OK, hell, it's even founded. It's way different from racism but many people think it's the same animal.
September 1, 200521 yr Here are some more.? Really dumb stuff 923557[/snapback] dood probably stole the tub also. the beer in the back pocket though is hilarious.
September 1, 200521 yr Here are some more. Really dumb stuff 923557[/snapback] dood probably stole the tub also. the beer in the back pocket though is hilarious. 925507[/snapback] This type of looting is OK imo. why let good beer spoil? And Heinekein, this guy has good taste
September 1, 200521 yr beluxy had the national guard upon the first day there. It has alot of casinos and alot of money there. It took till last night for most of the national guard that was mobilized to get to N.O. I read recently. N.O. is a city that is 70% black could someone make a case that the rich got the help first over the individuals of N.O. ? The source could be B.S. My friend showedme the article at work and make me think. If so, that is grrrrrr.

But special interest (i.e Casinos) are King

Classism in this case is OK, hell, it's even founded. It's way different from racism but many people think it's the same animal. 925468[/snapback] Are you saying that classism is ok, or that it's ok to call it in this situation? If it's the latter, I agree, but I think it's rather naive to think that race and class aren't related.

In proportion white people are better off than black people. But you cant say class and race go together because there are many wealthy black people in the United States. Anyone who could evacuate New Orleans did, and that inlcudes almost all white people and all the wealthier black people. The ones who are left behind are the poorest, who are black.
September 2, 200521 yr Let me pose this question If New Orleans was 70 percent white and 30 percent black and it was the poor white people left behind, would they be looting all the stores and raising hell?
September 2, 200521 yr Let me pose this question If New Orleans was 70 percent white and 30 percent black and it was the poor white people left behind, would they be looting all the stores and raising hell? 925750[/snapback] No, they would be finding stuff everywhere and raising hell. Basically it would have the same effect.
September 2, 200521 yr Let me pose this question If New Orleans was 70 percent white and 30 percent black and it was the poor white people left behind, would they be looting all the stores and raising hell? 925750[/snapback] No, because they would have sent more than 2,000 national guardsmen and the city would have been evacuated by now.
September 2, 200521 yr Well how many white people are left in New Orleans? Thousands I am sure. How many have been stealing 20 football jerseys and 10 pairs of jeans? Note: stealing food, beer, water and anything else you need to survive is fine at this point.
September 2, 200521 yr the food's going to spoil anyway, may as well loot it. and those football jerseys are clearly necessary for survival. :confused
September 2, 200521 yr guys WHO cares about the looting right now? There is tens of thousands of people there dead/missing. There is tens of thousands of people there starving and without Water or Food. They are dying from dehydration and we are bickering over jersey's that might be taken??? Who really cares? Personally, if I was there, I would of broke into every walmart, every store with food or water in it and tried to collect it for my family. I would do anything possible to help my family or others out that I could. You are talking of a place where the convention center has about 30,000 people in it that havent had food or water now for 3-4 days. They have the DEAD laying in the rooms with them in the corners. Does it really matter if someone is taking a fricken jersey or taking a stupid tv? If they are they are just dumb. What really matters is lives not pocessions.

September 3, 200521 yr I would like to know how many of you actually donated money or time to the relief effort, instead of bitching about Bush or what some idiot from the AP wrote. BTW, I'm with the Heineken guy :thumbup
September 3, 200521 yr If you think New Orleans is being treated differently because it's full of black people, take a look in the mirror and look at how much of a f***ing idiot you are.
