Things I have learned from watching the news about Hurricane Katrina on TV 1. The hurricane only hit black family’s property. 2. New Orleans was devastated and no other city was affected by the hurricane. 3. Mississippi is reported to have a tree blown down. 4. New Orleans has no white people. 5. The hurricane blew a limb off a tree in the yard of an Alabama resident. 6. When you are hungry after a hurricane steal a big screen TV. 7. The hurricane did 23 billion dollars in improvements to New.Orleans: now the city is welfare, looters and gang free and they are in.your city. 8. White folks don’t make good news stories. 9. Don’t give thanks to the thousands that came to help rescue you, instead bitch because the government hasn’t given you a debit card yet. 10. Only black family members got separated in the hurricane rescue efforts. 11. Ignore warnings to evacuate and the white folks will come get you and give you money for being stupid. 12. Damn, I feel so sorry for all those black folks. 13. Oh, and it is all George Bush’s fault. ---

1. only black people are looting, because the news agencys say that white people are “finding” food 2. all of a sudden (fixed) black people dont mind white people coming in boats to pick them up and take them somewhere else to work 3. despite the fact that NO is surrounded by water, and is BELOW see level, its still somehow best to put all the generators in the basement 4. poor people ont mind smelling bad when they are sitting at home on a nice day, but as soon as a diaster happens they steal clothes so they can smell nice again ---

> [@Jack](#): > > Do you want electricity in a flood? It was a mistake that probably saved lives. if im in the hospital on life support … yes put the generator on the roof, have each floor on a seperate “main” circuit breaker if the water floods floors 1, 2, 3 and 1/2 of 4 you shut off those 4 breakers. that way the intesive care patients on 7 or the premie babies on 9 still have the electricity they need for how often they actualy need the generators its not like they could realy complain about having to pump the fuel to the roof to refill the tanks ---

The messed up spacing didn’t tip me off. 😉 > [@HotRodKid](#): > > 1. all the suddent black people dont mind white people coming in boats to pick them up and take them somewhere else to work That’s really funny, but hard to read due to some wonderful (sarcasm implied) grammar. The expression is “[all of a sudden](http://esl.about.com/library/glossary/bldef_a_11.htm).” Anyway, like I said, pretty funny observation. ---

Some of the lights, phones and vending machines were supposed to be run off of generators… but the life support systems had battery backup. I was not there ,so I don’t know for sure. All I know is Hurricane + flood + generators = bad news. ---
