Hildy123 asked "What did you think? What did you feel?"
When I turned on the TV and saw my first few minutes of Katrina coverage at the Superdome I put my hand over my mouth, shook my head in disbelief and said to myself
"OMG, those poor people!" I wasn't thinking 'poor' in the literal sense. I was thinking 'poor' in the sense of the situation being terrible. I never one thought 'those poor black people' or 'those poor welfare people'. Then the race card started getting played and I changed the channel.

I think he did all of us a real public service. Yes, we all want to do everything we can to help the victims of Katrina. But look at what he writes about, boorish behaviour, demanding ingrates,snide comments about his being white, etc., etc., etc. This is what 50 years of handouts have done to these clowns-white and black- and if something isn't changed really soon, no one will want to help them. You do not have the right to criticize anything he wrote about if you weren't there to see it, but go on and enjoy your cheap shots, as that is what you took out of the conversation. Shame on you!!
If I was black (I'm not) I would be ashamed to call the No group kindred. The blacks I watched on TV were animals on the loose - nuff said. ZOT!
Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.
link It is political correctness - and the prohibition on plain truth and plain speaking - that leads to many ills. For if we cannot speak of a problem, how are we to fix it?

Ah; the struggling women!
IIRC the NATIONAL birth rate for Blacks is around 70% unmarried.
I wonder what it WAS in NO?
Where are these "struggling women's" HUSBANDS?

Sad story.....I volunteered one day to feed the hungry in Boca/Delray.....NEVER again. Sad to say but MOST were just like you describe....unappreciative and rude.....and did NOT throw their plates away or clean up their table!! I was SHOCKED!! I was afraid of my feelings.....this tore off the scab.
I think the struggling young ladies he was referring to were not the welfare mothers but young lady volunteers. I very much doubt he would have referred to welfare mothers as "young ladies."
They can get a job and buy a car just like I do.
I'm a single dad and I raised a son with a PhD while providing my own transportation. Why can't others? (BTW, I also retired at the age of 50...lots of hard work and planning)
