Well the waters are going down and now everyone is pointing blame and saying that it's because all the people effected are black and poor. Racism will never go away because the media and african "americans" will not let it. The way I see it and the way it is for me at least is nothing happens for me, you have to make it happen. These folks had 60 hours notice that this storm was going to happen and the mayor wasn't happy with getting school buses to move the people, he wanted Greyhound buses. If the buses where too full then pack your crap in your cardboard box and kick it to a different town. Now people are moved to different parts of the country given food, FREE homes, clothing and $2000.00. I have to be real honest, I wish a storm would wash away my condo so I could get relocated to a different state and handed money and a new job. Frankly, I'd like to see what some of these people lived in prior to the storm and then see what they were given after. I work in construction and at least once a week a general contractor wants to know if we are a minority owned business, part of me wants to tell them yes I am, I'm a white man in America and everyone is against me. My parents and I have to kick and fight to get every dime thats owed to us. If I was a minority owned business things would be easier. Now that a hurricane is going into the carolinas, I'd like to see what happens and what is said once this storm is done.
