I am so sick of the whining and the playing of the race card by these people.

[BenLurkin]

This bunch deserves to be ignored.

[Txsleuth]

These people need to get a clue...they need to be more self-sufficent...NOT demanding the federal government do MORE~

It's interesting to read how Katrina survivors compare with survivors in other parts of the world. For example, Quake Survivors Dig Own Graves Ahead Of Winter.

Get a frikkin job and build your own life. It's no wonder if people don't want you back. Bunch of loud mouthed, violent leeches!

"This government left us to starve and to die."

No, Actually they didn't. Your inability do to anything but whine and stick out your grubby nasty hand has landed you in your current situtation.

"It's no secret the rich white folks uptown don't want us back," said Malcolm Suber, a protest leader with the grass-roots People's Hurricane Relief Fund. "This government left us to starve and to die."

Racist statement anyone?

... I want to come back but I can't pay for it."

Hitchhike...

[Darkwolf377]

Victimhood--the new crack

Or maybe, the new opiate of the people

"...I want to come back but I can't pay for it."

Good grief. Now some think they have a "right" to everything they want.

"It's no secret the rich white folks uptown don't want us back," said Malcolm Suber, a protest leader with the grass-roots People's Hurricane Relief Fund. "This government left us to starve and to die."

In case it escaped your notice, the government that left you to starve and die is mostly Black.

Whatever happened to the concept that "beggers can't be choosers"?

[billhilly]

"New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin has held meetings with evacuees living in places like Alabama or Mississippi to gather their ideas about how to rebuild the city."

He has done no such thing. He is trying to round up his votes, and the government wards who cast them.

This is about telling us not to look at the complete breakdown of the democratic leadership. Nice Try, but you can only run this dog and pony show so many times before no one cares. Just ask the Ditch Witch. Watch, next we will get a big dose of the Clintoon follies at the Richard Pryor funeral.

[InABunkerUnderSF]

Am I a terrible person for not wanting to see my tax dollars spent on housing built below sea level?

[Modok]

Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, Gimme ....

"It's no secret the rich white folks uptown don't want us back," said Malcolm Suber, a protest leader with the grass-roots 'People's Hurricane Relief Fund' . "This government left us to starve and to die."

Despicable comic book characters like Suber exploit noble monickers like 'People's Hurricane Relief Fund' to steal from the U.S. government, then are given a platform to spew idiotic lies by junk "news" outlets like Reuters?

I don't know who's more disgraceful.

"I lived in my house for 45 years -- my mother died and left it to me," said Gloria Brown, 70, an evacuee living in San Francisco. "I swam seven blocks in filthy water with my dog Queenie to survive. I want to come back but I can't pay for it."

Therefore you and I must, apparently. There is no difference between this and a stickup in the street, but there are very few people who have the courage to say it.

"They're giving folks in Iraq better things than they're giving us."

I keep forgetting that the sole purpose of government is to "give" things to people.

Rally organizers accused the city of discriminating against black residents by moving slowly on rebuilding,

Nothing like people who don't understand the meaning of the word "insurance."

particularly in low-income areas that were hardest hit,

I love to watch conservative parody lines come to life.

after failing to rescue them quickly in the days following the storm.

Nothing like people who don't understand the meaning of the term "evacuate" either.

[pepperhead]

Right of return? I didn't know we were banning former residents from ever coming back.

[Darkwolf377]

Translation: Evil White People tried to kill me and now I want those same Evil White People to pay for rebuilding the house they destroyed, and if I make enough noise those Evil White People who went to the trouble to destroy my home will rebuild it at great cost to themselves.

The reason for rap's massive popularity are now clear to me.
