> New Orleans tragedy: The 17th street levee was bombed

See many people who are Euro-amerian tend to speak in this manner, "The "GOVERNMENT", me and the rest of the tax paying people in this country will be paying to rebuild new homes for the non-working uneducated poor. " What they are failing to remember, or their ancestors haven’t handed down to them is when they came to this country they had no idea how to survive and were considered poor. Survival was taugth them by the native people who were willing to share their knowledge. Yes, this is a class issue and thie issue is that most Euro-Americans fit this quote pefectly, " The people that do little or nothing to help them selves. Just rely on the Government for their existance. " Piggybacking on others to get wealth, using any means necessary to obtain it, composing a complete BLACKOUT.
This is such a true statement,"Remember broke is a temperary economic condition that hard work can conquer, poor is a way of life. People that don’t try to better them selves, don’t take advantage of all the chances they are given to make their life better." It is know that the hard work of the ancestors of these poor New Orleans poeple are what made America. Somehow Euro-Americans have seized the moment and taken credit and advantage of the chances to make their life better by piggybacking on the poor. The culture of the poor people is what has made America what it is today. If you don’t believe me turn on the T.V. and watch Britney dance like she is from Africa.
My disappointment with poor minorities is that they are not fully intune with the power and culture they possess. Minorities, especially Afro-Americans have given "rich" America its content. Be aware the consciousness of the poor is rising and the monkey that stays on their back constantly trying to keep them down, will be removed.
