Hurricane Katrina basically magnified how utterly helpless inner-city blacks are. These people are completely reliant on the government. The reason they live predominantly in our cities is so they can be closer to the free resources they are given in abundance. Out of the people who couldn’t evacuate Katrina, 76% were black and 28% were white. The majority of whites stayed by choice, mostly to offer assistance, volunteer, and help the people in their community. The majority of blacks couldn’t evacuate because they don’t work, are on welfare, section 8. No car. Reliant on public transportation, etc. Utterly helpless. Waiting on big government to come to their rescue. If there wasn’t a free ride out of there, they weren’t leaving. End of story. 30,000 blacks sheltered in the Superdome where they beat the shit out of each other and looted vending machines. There was a security presence at the Superdome so they were more well behaved than other places. Another 20,000 took shelter at Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. There was no security presence here. Mass fighting, theft, repeated shots-fired calls, and at least one murder. A body found with multiple stab wounds. Drugs and violence were rampant. Fast forward and the weather cleared. Mass looting started on the streets as soon as the rain stopped. Blacks took anything that wasn’t nailed down. One example, the Wal-Mart on Tchoupitoulas Street. Police and public officials tried to perform a controlled giveaway of necessary provisions. Word of it went out over the radio, the blacks showed up to the store and it turned into a free-for-all. People hauled out jewelry, computers, televisions, and appliances. One man sat on a smashed jewelry case yelling ‘free samples.’ Another rolled a pallet stacked with cases of vodka and whiskey, with a toddler on top. But it gets even crazier. Black New Orleans Police officers joined in the looting. Their default settings kicked in. A Times-Picayune reporter saw a New Orleans officer load a cart with a computer and a 27-inch television. An MSNBC crew filmed officers in the aisles with shoes and clothes; one officer told the reporter she was ‘looking for looters.’ The officers were all black women. Olivia Fontenot, Vera Polite, Debra Prosper, and Kenyatta Phillips. It was chaos. The black community was loving every second of it. This was heaven to them. There were more than 2,600 burglary reports. Then these same opportunistic assholes that looted, committed mass violence, etc. got in front of news cameras and blamed Bush. They blamed the White House. They blamed the mayor. They blamed the world. As soon as the cameras cut on it was ‘Woe is me!’ Poor them. Victims always. Katrina was EYE OPENING to say the least.
