All the whites had cars to drive out of the city. The winds were too strong for the blackeys to evacuate through the infrastructure of tree branches.
Am I Disturbed?

New Orleans has tons of black people, and you know why? Because it's hot and humid as all fucking Hell, and they are a tropical people. I'm not kidding.
NO also has lot of poor people. THose were the ones that hid out in the SUperdome.
But NO also has thousands of backwoods inbred white mofos lke that one assistant coach in The Waterboy (you know, the coach you can't understand) that were like "Well, we'll ignore the mandatory evacuation because if God wants us to die, we'll die. Evacuating the city won't change that." I am not kidding, they interviewed a guy that said something similar, and now the part of the city he was in is completely destroyed. He's probably dead.

hahaha!lizard said:oh wait, they can't help new orleans, they're in Iraq.
for those who asked: i have a buddy who has traveled by car to virtually every major american and canadian city. he said New Orleans was by far the most disgusting city he's ever been to. ever since he told me that, i've been prejudiced. for the record, i'm just gonna say the whole state of Louisiana is hell. like that Waterboy reference: it's pretty much dead on.

update: i've seen the latest pics and news and it looks like it was hit pretty hard, but the way the media was predicting, it shouldn't even exist anymore. they kept saying shit like, "a category 15 hurricane will OBLITERATE the ENTIRE gulf coast". bitches. the news *wants* as much fear as possible.

Looters filled industrial-sized garbage cans with clothing and jewelry and floated them down the street on bits of plywood and insulation as National Guard lumbered by.
Mike Franklin stood on the trolley tracks and watched the spectacle unfold.
"To be honest with you, people who are oppressed all their lives, man, it's an opportunity to get back at society," he said.

hahaha! thats awesome. "oppressed". Native Americans come to mind when i think of that word. not inner-city black people who dont have to work, dont pay taxes, and dont pay for their housing.
btw, lizard, the remnants of the category 42 hurricane should be heading your way by now. only its been downgraded to tropical depression or whatever. loser!

SHREVEPORT, La. (AP) — Seven teenagers from two families were splashing around in the shallow waters of the Red River when one of them stepped off a slippery ledge and plummeted into much deeper water. The others tried to save the boy even though none of them could swim, but they too were swallowed by the water some 20 to 30 feet deep.
Their relatives, who couldn't swim either, looked on helplessly as six struggling teens screamed for help, then vanished and drowned on Monday afternoon.
DeKendrix Warner, the 15-year-old who was the first to fall in, was rescued by a bystander.
"I stepped and I started drowning," he said from his inner-city Shreveport home in a low voice, his eyes staring at the ground.
The large group of family and friends had gathered for an afternoon of swimming and barbecuing in the oppressive heat. The group had only been at the river for about 10 minutes when tragedy struck — they didn't even have time to set up the barbecue.
DeKendrix said he was kicking and felt like the river was pulling him under. When he was finally pulled from the water, he told the man to go help his cousin.
Those who drowned were identified as the Warners: 13-year-old Takeitha and her older brothers, 14-year-old JaMarcus and 17-year-old JaTavious. The others were the Stewarts: 18-year-old Litrelle, 17-year-old LaDairus and 15-year-old Latevin.
The area where the drowning occurred is not a designated recreational or swimming area but is often frequented by swimmers and boaters. There are no lifeguards on duty.
"The river is a dangerous place. It's no place to even put your foot in if you don't know how to swim," said Shreveport Fire Chief Brian Crawford.
Swimming skills can be scarce among African-Americans like the teens in this tragedy. A study commissioned by the sports governing body USA Swimming found 69 percent of black children had low or no swimming ability compared to 41.8 percent of white children. Segregation kept blacks out of public and private pools for decades and the disparity continues because many poor and working class children have limited access to pools or instruction.
The study didn't look into swimming ability based on rural versus urban environments.
The drowning "confirms that what we are finding, that this continuing cycle of people not knowing how to swim and their children not knowing how to swim and still being around water," said Sue Anderson, USA Swimming's Director of Programs and Services. "It's the continuing lack of awareness of how important it is that children learn how to swim."
The federal government says African-Americans drown at a rate 20 percent higher than whites. A lack of access to swimming pools and a lower interest in swimming skills are among the possible explanations, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
Marilyn Robinson, a friend of the families, told The Times of Shreveport she watched helplessly as the victims went under. She said a large group of family and friends, including roughly 20 children, were out at a sandbar to barbecue and have a good time. They frequent the area and were familiar with the water, Robinson said. DeKendrix said he had been going down to the river all week.
"None of us could swim," Robinson said. "They were yelling 'help me, help me. Somebody please help me.' It was nothing I could do but watch them drown one by one."
It took more than three hours to find all the bodies.

What perplexes me good sir, is that not one single adult jumped in. Sink or swim, if that was my child I couldn't sit by noshing on cornbread as half my offspring perished one after the other. Though if the picture is any indication, there wasn't an adult male to be had. If only prisons permitted weekend furloughs?
30 minutes before the bbq...
