oh bayouking my god brother all i have to do is here them talk. i am not assuming it because they are black only. it is the way they carry themselves. the way they talk. you can barely understand a syllable. that isnt racism it is realism. you can lie to yourself all you want. i feel so bad for my wife sometimes. to know that she has to make sure she is never thought of by other people to be one of those types. it is a sterotype in this country and you here white and black people say it all the time. they describe what it is to be black. somehow you have to dress a certain way talk a certain way and act a cetain way in order to be black. my wife was once told by a white person you are the whitest black person i have ever met. she has been told by black woman that she isn't black. so to be intelligent to articulate when you speak and to dress nice makes you white. you here about black people putting down condoleeza rice. she should be a model for kids to look up to. instead they try to tear her down. i listen to those people speak and i know what they are. so no bayouking i am not a racist i just refuse to lie so that people like yourself don't call me a racist. you can't scare me with that word. i don't have to close my eyes to the truth so that you can make me feel better by saying i am not a racist.

Your team stinks

Euphoria

I don't care what color... there are whites and asians in there. Since when being of color makes you less an American. This are New Orleanians and the city government failed them. THese are Louisianaians and the state failed them. Now the Federal government is rushing to the aid... lets hope they don't fail anymore Americans.

You can use any excuse... yeah they made a huge mistake and stayed home instead of evacuating. Shame on them but now they are in need of help and all levels of our government seem to be failing to help Americans. THe very Mayor threw up his hands and left the city, the mayor totally clueless when it comes to New Orleans. Treats New Orleans as a bastard step child city and this is proof. So if anyone here is a racist grow up... help your fellow Americans. Name callers get a life.

well you are right on some of what you said euphoria. from what i heard just so you are aware not to say you are wrong but it was put out on the talk radio station i listen to that the mayor was told to leave because people were threatining him because of lack of supplies. so his life may have actually been in danger. you did miss a little of what the argument was. i said in response to people saying the government failed them that that just isnt the case. they were warned over and over again to leave and did not. they failed themselves. IN THE END THEY NEED HELP AND THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS, YOU ARE RIGHT. but the factb that they are poor is their choice. not mine not yours but theirs. unfortuanley in my eyes if you dont work or cant get a better job then minimum wage then they should be working two jobs or working on bettering their situation. there are grants to go to school. you can get loans. there are so many things people can do. if they dont that is their fault. and yes in the end it makes them less. sorry i am not sympathetic. i had to join the military. i have to work full time and go to night school right now. if i can do it anyone can. THERE ARE NO EXCUSES. that was my only argment. because of that i was called a racist.

Your team stinks

SPK, I feel sorry for you brother, if you can't sit back understand your statement is racist. I can careless if you are black or even married to a black woman, to sit back and degrate people who were unfortunate to have a way to evacuate is wrong. They're thousands of people in NO and you assume the majority of the blacks are sucking money from the goverment and will not work. Do you have any compassion or sorrow?

spkb25

know what i dont want to hear how they can't better themselves. if frederick douglas can teach himself to read and write as a slave and educate himself to the level he did there are no excuses for anyone in this country. i don't care what your color if you can't look at that and say i can do whatever i want then there is nothing anyone can do for you

spkb25

yes i have compassion to help them regardless. but to say it is not their fault is RIDICULOUS. they are not unfortunate. im sorry. they are lazy and worthless. that is just how i see them. i am sorry. it is funny to me that if you talk to a poor white person or a poor black person their mindset is exactly the same. they are a victim. i am not a racist and neither is the statement.

bayouking318

P.S .... I hope you don't make statement like that to your wife family

spkb25

unfortunate- causing or having bad luck. a person who has no luck.

luck is not what theese people lack bayouking. there are not many rich people who just had better luck.

spkb25

my wife agrees bayouking.
