That's just screwed up.

Recently, a concert was held for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Kanye West deviated from the script by saying that "George Bush don't care about black people" and a few other things that was along those lines. Now I can understand that Mr West is angry at Bush from not doing more to help people, but I think the words should be changed. It should be "Black people don't care"

Let's look at the facts.

The mandatory evacuation order meant that everyone in the area HAD to evacuate. And most people did and some took shelter in the Superdome. But a lot of people stayed in the streets and their houses, hoping to whether out, what, the single largest hurricane in US history. And a large proportion of those people were black. What happened next was that you had a massive amount of people still stuck in New Orleans, demanding that the government helped and criticising it for being too slow.

Now hold up. A mandatory evac order meant a massive amount of people should of left, but instead a massive number of people stayed behind. Of course help was going to be slow. The vast majority of people should have left, not sitting in their homes because they were like "We'll ride it out, bitches!" Furthurmore, when resuce helicopters did arrive, some were shot at by looters. What the fuck? You want help, want to be rescued and you shoot the fricken rescue helicopter? Then you have looting. The vast majority of looters, as portrayed on t.v, are mainly black and all give the same reason, "We're doing what we need to survive, cos Bush is too slow in helping us, that bastard"

That there is just stupid. You were supposed to evacuate! And if you're just trying to survive, why are you stealing...I mean looting...private property like TVs, DVDs and other highly expensive electrical items? There ain't no vitamins and nutrients in there fit for the human race. Then the police and army dudes are given shoot-to-kill orders because you have these people ransacking stores and homes. Not to "survive" but to bloody cash in later.

Personally, I think it's just the South that so screwed up. I mean you had this woman guarding her bar with this shotgun. She refuses to evacuate and if army or police try to force her, she'll shoot them. Then she starts yapping about how its her constitution right to bear arms and to defend her self from invaders. The police and army are trying to help and you get nutters like these. I mean, you have all this emphasis on the American Constitution, for freedom rights and the right to bear arms and stuff, and these idiots ignore all the other parts of it. Hypocritical bastards.

Finally, you have some Aussies trapped in New Orleans, now blaming the Australian Government for not warning them and for doing little to contact them. I agree on the 2nd point, but not on the first. The warning were distributed days ago. If a massive hurricane comes, the single largest hurricane in US history comes my way, I'd get the fuck out. Instead these Aussies are like "It'll be right" and completely screw themselves by ignoring the evac order.

Look, I'm not racist. I truly believe in multiculturalism. But there must some relationship between race and intelligence in this case. These black Americans screw themselves up then blame in on the US government. No wonder they are living in poverty. I'm so poor, it's the government's fault. Every thing is the government's fault. If after all the rescue efforts and there are still people who insist on staying behind and blaming government officials, well, I hope there's another hurricane or tsunami to wipe them out. The American population will be better without them. Hell, the average quality of humanity may jump up a few points.

Idiots.

I'm sick and tired of all the Monday-morning quarterbacking, too.

But having said that, I don't think it's adequate to declare a "mandatory" evacuation without taking steps to help people evacuate who are too poor or sick to do so on their own. If you don't have a car, what are you supposed to do?
