FIRST OF ALL, WE PAY TAXES IN THIS COUNTRY JUST AS WELL AS YOU DO. SECOND, THE SUPERDOME WAS FILLED NOT ONLY WITH THE POOR BUT THE UPPER AND MIDDLE CLASS AS WELL.
YOU CAN SIT BEHIND A COMPUTER, WATCH THE NEWS, & LISTEN TO THE RADIO AND HEAR WHAT THEY WANT YOU TOO HERE. I AM AN EDUCATED PERSON, WHO GOT UP WENT TO WORK EVERYDAY, PAID TAXES, DID VOLUNTEER WORK, YOU NAME IT I DID IT.
I MUST INFORM YOU THAT I SPENT 5 NIGHTS AND 4 DAYS AT THE CONVENTION CENTER, LET ME TELL YOU IT WAS HELL, IF YOU COULD ONLY SPEAK TO A PERSON OF A DIFFERENT RACE OTHER THAN BLACKS, THAT WERE THERE, THEY WOULD TELL YOU THAT IN THE BEGINNING WHEN ALL THE SO CALLED LOOTING STARTED, IT WAS OUT OF PURE TERROR. THEN SEVERAL DAYS WENT BY AND NOTHING TO EAT, SO THEN EVERYONE ONE REALIZED IT WAS SURVIVAL OR DEATH. WE CHOOSE SURVIVAL.
IT’S EASY TO SAY WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE, COULD HAVE, OR SHOULD HAVE DONE, BUT UNTIL YOU YOURSELF HAS LIVED THROUGH AN EXPERIENCE SUCH AS THIS DON’T BE QUICK TO JUDGE, REMEMBER, JUDGEMENT IS NOT YOURS OR MINE.
WE ALL SAY THAT WE WANT TO SPEND OUR ETERNITY IN HEAVEN, YET WE DO NO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN.
AS FAR AS THE CONDITIONS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT ARE NOW DESTROYED, THE HOUSES WERE IN DECAYED CONDITION, NOW LET’S ASK THE QUESTION WHY WERE THEY THAT WAY?
THEY ARE THAT WAY BECAUSE MOST OF THE HOMES WERE OWNED BY THE MIDDLE AND UPPER CLASS, WHO DIDN’T CARE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE HOUSE, AS LONG AS THEIR RENT WAS ON TIME THEY HAD NO PROBLEM, NOW LET THE RENT NOT BE PAID, THEN WHAT THEY COME AND PUT YOU OUT AND THEN GO TO BACCO’S OR SOMETHING FOR DINNER.
WE ALL NEED TO CARE ABOUT EACH OTHER REGARDLESS OF FINANCIAL, MORAL, OR SPIRITAL STANDINGS.
WE WILL RETURN SOMEDAY, BECAUSE ONE THING IS FOR SURE, NEW ORLEANS CAN NOT SURVIVE WITHOUT IT’S PEOPLE, WE ARE THE PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE OF NEW ORLEANS.
WISHING YOU AND YOUR KIND A BLESSED AND NON-JUDGEMENT "THANK YOU" FOR SHOW JUST HOW MUCH THIS COUNTRY HAS NOT CHANGED!!!!!!
