It is. All the white people I know don't give a goddamn. I didn't realize how bad it was because NOLA has been spared a lot of hurricanes. It pisses me off that amerikans are so obsessed with apathy and numbed out and racist. I don't know if my family got out, they're real old.
I was just thinking about the racism thing yesterday. When I see New Orleans footage on TV is looks like Somalia, Rwanda, Kenya, Uganda, and Ethiopia. History has shown just how much the US gives a shit about those countries. History also shows just how much the US cares about those continents immigrants and well you know; the ones that did not have much of a choice in immigrating to this country.
I have actually heard people dismiss the whole thing with comments like “you know it is one of the poorest cities in the US” and “there pretty much all black or white trash” Like these things makes them less of a human somehow. My favorite comment so far came from one of Jesus’ people, his comment was that “New Orleans is a sinful city and needed a little cleansing”. He went on the say this was God’s way. He was white of course, and we all know Jesus loves white people best.
there have been some horrific comments on the local papers online forum here. people are fucked in the head. if this doesn't change the way our system operates i don't know what would. now if this hurricane had hit connecticut i wonder how different the response would be. i know it's difficult to get so many people help at once, but it just seems like not enough is being done.

It would just break the sexual tension already.
I can't wait until the mystery is over so that they will just stop touching eachothers shoulders.
