Hurricane katrina

Although my immdiate family is in mendenhall and jackson mississippi and doing as well as can be with electricity since this all happened...im still sad...but im happy they are okay...but im still sad...

im more angry and upset...but there is nothing i can do...except pray and give the little money i do have to the relief efforts...

here is where i gave...after receiving an email from my second mom...im trying to find other private sectors..because after 911 i cant truely trust the damn redcross!.....

here is where i gave...after receiving an email from my second mom...im trying to find other private sectors..because after 911 i cant truely trust the damn redcross!.....

you find someplace to give...naw im not trying to sound all holier than though..but this is the time where 5 dollars is more than nothing...at least that can get you some water and toliet paper.....hell if you dont want to give...at least send a prayer up..

i guess why im the most upset is because our nation...a nation who does everything for everyone else..in a mater of 24 hours or less...didnt do what was needed for our country...for its own people...

i guess im upset because its 2005..seems like we have everything else...but when it comes to the bare necessities of survival we fail...we cant even supply water to folks...fuck a shower..to drink..we cant even give the dying a drink of water...damn...

i guess my anger comes from those scenes at the convention center..a place where folks were TOLD to go for safety..and to hear and read that it is now in 2 inches on feces...i guess thats why im upset..

i guess because ive been obessessed about this for days...i guess its because no one has even mentioned on the news about the vietnamese people..on the other side of new orleans..that are still under water...that are still needing to be rescued..but the rescue teams cant get them...because when they strike out to get them...they find all these other people that are half dead and dying...so they have to pick them up...and take them to safer places...just think...folks are still in this water...ive been to lousisana..i grew up right next door..i know there are swamps...i know there are alligators...animals...dont you think if you dont die from dehydration you will die because an animal came through and ate you up??...and no one shows or talks about that on tv...what the fuck is really going on?


yeah yeah yeah...im in cincinnati ohio..i have electric...yeah gas is high but we have it..i know im not down there..i can only rant and rave about it...but you know what...my thoughts are these...

if it can happen in new orleans...a great city known allll around the damn world...for its jazz...its mulitculturalism...its great food...its soul..its mardi gras..its partying...if it can happen in a "happening" place..in a place full of life...i know damn well it can happen here in cincinnati..if that ohio river flooded...what would the government do...no no...im not talking about the floods of the past...im talking about if something radical like what happened in new orleans happened up here..what would happen..our governor is under investigation for some crazy shit...our mayor is a patsy...so if something radical happened like that up here...what do you think would happen...i think thats were my anger comes from...my fear...

oh damn i forgot...its rich white folks here...they would be here in a damn millisecond...bush would be on the first plane to survey the damn damage here...i forgot this is a fucking RED STATE...shit a RED CITY!!!

"the scene of the gulfcoast pulls the racial scab right off of this country"...(i heard CHRIS MATTHEWS SAY that on tv this morning) fuck that...there hasnt been in damn healing in this country...you want me to tell you why??

because of shit like this...all you see on tv...is black folks...majority poor and old...and the government dont give a fuck about us..because they think we dont vote...we dont buy enough...we dont care about politics...well im here to tell you...I DO......and i care about my people...i wish there was something more i could do...because at this point i sound like an idiotic christian..."lets pray about it"...but let me tell you...

praying about this one..wont be enough...you have to give...you have to DO!

i got an email from my second mom last night..in the email it read...."faith without works is dead"...

so along with my prayer went some money...money i knew i couldnt really afford to give...but you know what...faith without works it dead to god...to me...so there was no question on giving it...

if im on my blog talking shit about the american government i must be willing to do something...even if its alittle...

damn...damn...damn...my people down there..my family down there....they dying...show that shit on tv....show it all...so you uppity folks will stop asking dumb ass questions......

"well why are they shooting?...why would you loot?"

do you really have to ask that question...here is a test...dont feed your child...dont flush your toilet...dont bathe...eat a piece on a peanut butter sandwich and drink a liter of water for 4 days..no better yet...that one sandwich goes to you and your family...of ummm lets say 3 kids...and lets see what the fuck you do...

im looting every damn store...stealing clothes..stealing pampers for my son..milk....and then when the fucking police come...im throwing it down...putting my hands up and saying..."put me in jail!"..because you know they have food..the police have gas...

yeah thats what the fuck im doing...

ask me why folks are shooting..because they want to be first..they are tired of living at the convention center with little to no damn water and food...and no one to soothe their fears.....they want out..they want to be first...oh hell yeah..im pushing the line...im pushing folks out of my way...so me and my son can get the fuck outta there...

so okay now be a dumb ass and ask why are they looting and shooting..yeah there is your damn answer..

yeah i know the saying "a few bad apples spoil the whole bunch"...but do they really??

FUCK NO...you throw away the bad ones and keep the good ones...shit sometimes you even cut the bad part off the bad apples...so whats the problem when it comes to human beings...fuck those thugs up who are robbing and raping..fuck them up...if you listened to the mayor at all..he said he thinks its drug addicts...you know trying to get a fix...trying to take the edge off..thats why they are robbing the hospital...wouldnt you if you were a drug addict...

damn im sooo pissed!!!

ps...see i got through this whole thing without one word about our great president...there is no words to describe what i think of him at this point...he is the president of this said great country and he sits back for 4/5 days watching folks die like you and me have done on tv...and does nothing...wow...what happened...did he get the "real video" or something...did they show him what they havent showed us? did they show him some footage of folks dying...with shit around them...what happened yesterday to make him have that damn press conference..what a great man...what a great fucking man! I applaud him...for showing me that he gives a fuck about the united states people..and especially about black folks...thank you mr president! THANK YOU!

pss..i see i have something in common with one of these fuck ups...the mayor of new orleans speaks...

READ WHAT HE HAS TO SAY!
