Walmart looting = Reparations for Blacks

[Spartacus]

Yep.

Your house has been destroyed. Your agency is in awry. Your family is out of the city, or lost or dead. People already hate you. You are in the line of fire everywhere u go. You're making a lousy $40k/year. You're going to have to move out of the city and get a new job anyways wherever you relocate to.

Fuck the job. Family's more important.

heh
can new orleans be rebuilt?
sure now that the unproductive have been exported
I think I saw today that the state of Texas has now been included as an official disaster area
I shit you not

you seem to intertwine a lot of things that im not intending you to.

what im saying is very simple, if you rely on the govt to help you in situations, you might be disappointed.

i dont know who should have rebuilt those levees, but someone should have. and it just proves my point, the govt failed and therefore disappointed alot of people.

these two statements can be made independently of each other.

like i said i dont condone looting that doesnt involve food, water, baby items, clothing, medicine etc. so if a cop looted items other than that, then i look at him as a criminal too, although at this point like i said, that would be the least of my worries. extremely small percentage. not high on the priorty list.

your comparrison between the soldier and the police sticking to commitments doesnt work imo. a soldier is highly trained for war, a police officer is not highly trained for a hurricane disaster. our soldiers are not highly disadvantaged. the NO police were outmanned and outgunned. i just dont compare the two but good question.

All soldiers are not highly trained for war my friend.

anyone who listened to the police scanner from houston or new orleans last week knows why the police were leaving.

This is the focus of your post. Do you understand that by using the term "black community" is a generalization. You are taking a whole group of people and applying an conclusion of peoples attitudes towards a whole community. Do you now see the error in this? You are basically making a general conclusion based on skin color.

You know who I'm talking about. Everyone else who reads this post knows who I'm talking about. Being pedantic only takes away from the discussion.

not really, i had to put my daughter to bed and this was the only thing I was able to write.


Still not sure what you mean by one should not rely on the Govt. I am one to believe that if the Govt Giveth...he too will someday ask for it backeth. And it does not have to be monetarily. There is no such thing as a free ride...IMO

I've seen countless times on the news people say they thought Katrina wasn't gonna be so bad. Dennis wasn't so bad, Ivan wasn't so bad, etc. I lived in New Orleans, No one I knew thought twice about hurricanes. They bragged about how many they rode out. "I'm not leaving my home, I'm safe here." My point is this. With so many who choose to stay despite warnings, knowing that there is a chance things may not be so bad, Why is it so hard to believe, that a theif, which is a profession of opportunity, would not think they could stay and steal with so many people away from their homes? I've read things like rediculous, ludicrus, stupid, ignorant. People will stay for many reasons. Financially unable, physically unable, whatever. There are people NOW that don't want to leave their homes. When you survive by taking from others, and profiting from misfortune or ignorance, spotting oportunity is your means of daily survival. Thousands away from their homes for any period of time could mean a financial windfall for many who choose to take advantage, and risk the consequences.

Are you a cop ?

There is no need to go to a police academy to know what he knows. It's common sense.

yea really, following our conversation. its went everywhere from your questions.



im not necessarily saying NOT to rely on them, im saying if you do you might be disappointed. anytime you rely on someone other than yourself, you might be disappointed.
