Oh yeah, baby….

Richard sums up, in his post, my own feelings. For some reason, my laptop won’t let me simply reply directly to all he’s saying (below). In short — it’s going to be a great time to be in New Orleans.

The cultural heart of the city remains, along with plenty of business owners, entrepreneurs and forward-thinking individuals. I noted in this morning’s paper that more folks have been allowed back into the Lower Garden District to get a few things and begin planning ther return. More electric power returns by the day as the water continues to recede faster than anticipated.

I think there will be, at least in the short term, a shortage of labor to get a lot of things cranked. A lot of people simply have no place to live anymore, nor do they have the means to get back. This is unfortunate, but is a problem that will be worked through as time goes on.

It will not be easy and it will not be quick. But we’ll do it. And those of us who return are going to be a tighter group that before.

However, I would indeed miss the Saints. Tom Benson can go to hell, far as I’m concerned. But the city would definitely miss the likes of Joe Horn and Deuce McAllister. And, just as the Cubs can be a unifying force in Chicago, the Saints do indeed provide a common joy and misery.

Whatever’s there and whatever’s not — let’s get to it.

    I think that this is bull…I don’t see how the Saints signify any coming together at all…they suck, except for their occasional lucky streak! As far as I’m concerned they should have just had to forfeit the entire season due to the fact that stupid stubborn city dwellers didn’t get out of the city in time…they had warning.

    What is this? The people of New Orleans are human beings whether black or white. I would not want my dog to go through what these people have. We are all Americans no matter what color we are. There is no pure society expect maybe in the eyes of Hitler. There is no room in our world for hate. Odessa grow up!!!

  12. Jamie from Texas (unregistered) September 12th, 2005 10:01 am

    “Niggardly” means to be spare, miserly or stingy. It does not mean lazy or unmotivated.

    It is not a racial epithet, contrary to those fools who demanded the firing of a D.C. adminstrative staffer who used the word to describe his budget management philosophy a few years ago. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the word “nigger” which has an entirely unrelated derivation. That didn’t save the poor budget aide, Marion Barry, between crack binges, fired the guy anyway. Personally, I don’t think they fired the guy for being racially insensitive, I think they fired him for setting a bad example by actually trying to be careful with taxpayer money.

    Because of its unfortuate resemblence to the better-known racial epithet, niggardly has fallen into disuse, so it comes as no surprise that many people do not know what it means. Score one for the PC crowd, happy to punish a word for what it sounds like, rather that what it actually means.

  13. Jamie from Texas (unregistered) September 12th, 2005 10:07 am

    Oops, sorry. I seem to have unfairly slurred Marion Barry. A first, I assure you. The mayor of DC at the time was Anthony Williams.

    Also, one source noted the staffer was fired, but most say he resigned under pressure. Little difference, the guy was out of a job either way.

  14. Jamie (unregistered) September 12th, 2005 10:20 am

    odessa,
    sorry you are so full of hate. I can’t believe you would say something like that about GOD. Unfortunately, you have your right to your own opinion. You might consider praying for your own soul that is if you care about that.

    Its good to see a positive attitude. New Orleans will be up and running in no time thanks to people with attitudes like yourself.

    “I ain’t got nothin’ t’say about the food. Y’all know where I’m from.”

    Bob, you’re totally correct about the Odessa responders, but I just cain’t hep it:

    Hate to bring you the news, but as a taxpayer from a different area let me say I don’t want to pay one thin dime for the “rebuilding” of New Orleans. What is that place? Whores and their pimps and their houses; endless bars where tourists get stinking drunk, a gambling casino, and high end restaurants. That’s it. Oh, and a forty day drunken orgy once a year that attracts alcoholics and pickpockets. New Orleans was places that paid the absolute shit wage for people who are dirt poor to begin with. Industry left that disaster waiting to happen ten years ago.There is nothing there other than a guaranteed series of floods forever. And the desperately poor.

    Let private money “rebuild” that shit hole. What? Private money won’t touch the place? I wonder why? Hell it’s only twenty feet below sea level and dropping more than an inch per year. There is no political class worth a dam there other than crooks in prison and crooks waiting to go to prison.

    I got it. Let the hundreds of thousands of poor people dance while the jazz bands play, maybe us morons will toss enough coins to them so they can eat for half a day.

    Let New Orleans sink into the foul pestulence of chemical toxins, rotting houses, and already rotten politicians. Many of the people who have left are already working at better jobs in other states, as in anything is better than a minimum wage in New Orleans. New Orleans is dead. Stick a fork in it.

    Your story and every single person affected by Katrina tugs at my heart and makes my eyes sting. I am sending good thoughts, healing wishes and of course, what money I can afford to the organizations that will help build back the cities into the homes that they are.
    Stay strong. Don’t let this negativity get in your way!

  19. Linda (unregistered) September 12th, 2005 11:00 pm

    To Howard…sounds like either you have visited New Orleans…and chose to ignore the beauty it can hold or you’ve never been there…which is even worse to describe the city in such a negative way. Every city in the United States, as least every major city, has bars, prostitutes and the like…and has visitors and residents who visit them. I’d be interested to know where you live actually. You are falling into a trap of judging an entire city based on a few bad seeds. Those bad seeds are everywhere…but they didn’t cause this disaster and there are a lot of good people who are in trouble and need help. Might help if you sit back and review your own life. If you do that and can still say these things…well I for one am amazed. Don’t throw stones…not now…not ever. Do something that will make you feel good and help out. If you still feel people down in NO aren’t worth helping maybe its time you need to volunteer your services and help the misguided ones out????

  20. EmilyS (unregistered) September 12th, 2005 11:09 pm

    Hello, Isn’t the internet a great place for people to be able to say whatever they want whenever they want, like Odessa and al Qaeda?

    Anyway, Howard, rethink quickly your position: the fact is that New Orleans is a MAJOR U.S. PORT, receiving around 20% of the U.S.’s imported goods - okay, there are some unsavory characters down there, but look around your own city.

    Also, if we can’t go down there and “SIN” there where would we go?

    Here in Nashville, TN, we have had around 25,000 New Orleans evacuees and I have yet to meet one that is not an upstanding, sincere person. And I have met lots as a Red Cross volunteer. I still am on the lookout for those unsavory characters, but just haven’t seen them yet.

    Howard….I hope lightning strikes your house and you lose everything and then your insurance company decides that you were too foul and filthy a human being to resurrect, so they pay you twelve cents damage on your house and belongings. Just because. Just for being despicable. And ugly.

  22. ODESSA (unregistered) September 13th, 2005 9:23 am

    ok, let’s put away the word “nigger” then, since you people have sooo much sympathy for the black, lazy, crack-smoking, drug-dealing, AIDS-infested, over-breeding, gang-shooting, chicken-chasing, watermelon-eating pieces of shit. A fucking hurricane hits the coast and it’s automatically a racial thing. Whitey caused the hurricane…”We been scriminated against cause all this wind and rain that dese white mo fos sent up in here! Somebody call Jesse Jackson an axe him to come up in here!”…..If you care so dearly for the black bastards, why don’t go down there and suck them all off!!

  23. ODESSA (unregistered) September 13th, 2005 9:25 am

    Howard is right…piss on New Orleans. We can use the port with having to smell where everyone has been constantly pissing and puking in the streets. It’s a nasty, stinking place that should be forgotten about.

  24. Kay (unregistered) September 13th, 2005 11:19 am

    Well - only in America can disaster bring out the all-American judgemental bigot. Like they always say — a disaster brings out the best and the worst.

    I can only say Odessa and Howard belong in the worst.

    I’m not going to defend New Orleans or the people who have suffered — it’s more important to help them, then they can defend themselves from this onslaught of ignorance.

  25. ODESSA (unregistered) September 13th, 2005 1:05 pm

    Kay, what do you honestly think would have happened with that $2000 if the US Government would have issued those debit cards out?…Please, explain to me what you think would have happened with that money?
    You call me ignorant?…You want to help those lazy, worthless-assed black bastards?
    You’re a fucking joke.

  26. Dam Yankee (unregistered) September 13th, 2005 3:20 pm

    I’m all for rebuilding it and I think they should bring all the ghetto scum back from all the places they infested with them to do the work. I want the the hell out of my neighborhood. Get the good-for-nothing welfare leeches to break out the shovels and paint brushes and let ‘em learn as they earn but that would probably be asking too much now wouldn’t it? A little personal responsibility is what is needed right now not the constant whining that they aren’t being flat-out given enough. I’m tired of paying for them. If they can’t work fuck ‘em. Let’em starve.

  27. Linda (unregistered) September 13th, 2005 8:40 pm

    Odessa? Where in the heck is all your anger coming from??? Sure…there are some low-life blacks. There are low-life whites. Why would you take an entire city and generalize like that about them? Have you even been to New Orleans? And Dam Yankee, what I’ve heard from the survivors of New Orleans is that for the most part they are planning on returning and rebuilding. Considering most of them don’t have flood insurance…who exactly do you think will be building and painting?? I’m amazed at you two. I’m not a wide-eyed Pollyanna thinking the world is a beautiful place all the time…but I wonder what kind of lives the two of you lead with such hatred in your hearts. We are called The “United” States for a reason. If you can’t put your hatred away…at least for a little while when a disaster like this happens…I feel sorry for you. There are many more blacks that are wonderful human beings than the bad ones. Its the same in every race. Bad and good. Be careful both of you. Its fine to have an opinion…even a misguided one at that…but you need to research what you are saying…and had you done that…you would realize that no one race is horrible like you say. Your own race has welfare recipients, drug addicts and the like no matter what race that is.

  28. Raymond Majewski (unregistered) September 13th, 2005 11:04 pm

    Odessa’s comments are so outrageous, that I imagine that he’s just writing to get attention. Howard, on the other hand, may be more serious, but is not the kind of person we really want to be associating with on a board like this.

    Why don’t we just ignore them? And since when does private interests run our economy? Major business functions, from computers to aviation and pharmaceuticals, was created using taxpayers dollars. It was given to private industry afterwards, just like the Internet that we’re using right now. Expecting private interests to rebuild New Orleans? Tell it to the victims of 9/11, when the airline industry almost went bankrupt. Would private interests get them out of that slump? Well, it sort of turned out that some airline companies pooled their financial resources together, or so I’ve heard, but if that’s true, isn’t that a form of socialism?

    I want New Orleans rebuilt. I want it rebuilt better, more colorful and more picturesque, and hopefully with a mechanism in place to help reduce poverty.

  29. Georgina (unregistered) September 13th, 2005 11:39 pm

    Well let me just say that Katrina was an act of God. I knew before the donation requests came in from everywhere that the people of New Orleans were going to play the Victim card. Not the victim card of an act of GOD but the victim card that says this happened because I was black purple green and or brown. Most of the people who lived in New Orleans were on federal assistance “WELFARE” long before Katrina and will continue to be on “WELFARE” long after. They are lazy people who want everything handed to them. As far as donations go…its nice that the American people want to help the ones who truly need help but I will be damned if I am going to donate money or anything else to anyone who raped, looted, killed or just plained ignored their fellow man in New Orleans in order just to help or benefit themselves. I have read that the Red Cross has issued debit card to the tune of 2000.00 each and already so called survivors are out buying 800.00 purses and such when they should be buying food water and clothing. This always happens in a trajedy and I as a taxpayer and a donator am tired of seeing my hard earned money go for taxes to support people who only want to keep having children when they can’t afford them and people who just want to sit around watching tv and just hang out with friends
    because they get a free handout. I am tired of paying for all the others who don’t want to work. I also do not like the fact that in the United States the citizens have to donate money to always help those in need. If the government would quit wasting money on space flights and stupid wars, and would quit sending millions if not billions to foreign countries no one in the United States would have to donate a dime. THE UNITED STATES NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR OWN FIRST AND THEN HELP OTHERS.

  30. Linda (unregistered) September 14th, 2005 5:44 am

    There seems to be a common view among some of the people writing here about the people of New Orleans being lazy, no goods. Nothing that has been said to try and point out that you can’t generalize in that way seems to have changed their mind or even made them think. I’m beginning to wonder if they aren’t using that way of thinking as a reason to justify their lack of helping in a crisis??? Surely, you can’t honestly sit there and believe that an entire city was full of nothing but lazy people that did nothing all day but collect welfare?? It took me only a few minutes on the internet to locate reports on welfare collections. You people who are spouting off about New Orleans being a bunch of no goods on welfare might try looking at the hard cold facts. Sure there are people on welfare..but NO is by far not the highest state. Lets hope Georgina, Odessa and Dam Yankee that should something like this happen in your state…that people will look at you in your time of need and turn you away for something in your life that they “believe” to be a good “excuse” for not helping.

    I say kill project niggers

    if they want to work…coo…if they want to smoke crack, rob and rape…then hand me a rifle and a scope…so I can enlighten them with my opinions.

    yOU DONT OR YOU WOULD NOT BE TAKING UP FOR THEM.

    Ricky: Bleeding hearts?? Maybe. My heart is broken for everyone’s losses. I live in Los Angeles. Do I walk in the black neighborhoods…well yeahhhhhhh…or else you don’t go anywhere and not only have I not been killed…but haven’t been attacked either.

    I’ve lived in New York twice…same experience. Could it be your total lack of respect for anyone not white is so obvious that it gets you into trouble??

    I work at a major law firm…some of my best friends are black and to say the ones who stayed behind and didn’t evacuate were all up to no good…well…get a clue. What about the people who weren’t black that stayed behind?? I guess if they weren’t black…its ok huh? I am white…funny that my black friends don’t hate me because of it.

    I will say this though, I have met mean nasty people in every color. I have also met some of the most upstanding honorable people in every color…yep…including black. I guess what I’m trying to say is who gave you the right to judge a race? Any race? Even your own???

    Hi Tim…not sure if you are disagreeing with me or someone else…doesn’t really matter though…I agree with Voltaire’s statement almost 100%. The part of me that refuses to agree with it is when its mean, hurtful, untrue statements that lack no basis in reality. Having said that…freedom of speech is a wonderful right that we have in this country…and that means hearing the bad along with the good. Thanks.

    Linda, that’s why we are blessed to live in America….because we CAN express ourselves….and not be killed, thrown in jail or have our friends and families tortured or killed because of our opinions. I have served and fought for my country, yes, but more than that, truly I served and fought for the IDEALS of my country and would do so again. I would die to defend Odessa’s right to say what he wishes (however absolutely stupid, moronic, dangerous, and hurtful, as well as untrue) just as I would die for your right to speak …or mine. Don’t you see? It’s not that I agree with these small minded turds. I don’t. But given the alternative to what I believe about having these freedoms for ALL, someone being able to tell me or you or even Odessa, what we can or can’t say….well I’d gladly put my life on the line again, any day, time or place, for that right. God Bless

  40. silverhawk (unregistered) September 23rd, 2005 3:29 pm

    Well since this is all over the place, I guess I’ve got a comment from left field too: think of it this way, a possibility….maybe all the “niggers” (God I hate that word. Check out your own ancestry, you might be pretty surprised what your genealogical records come out with — like there’s no such thing as pure white or pure this or that. Check out all the high cheekbones in America– that’s our proud Native heritage, folks, including my measly 1/16th and I wish to God it were more. If you go far enough back in European ancestry, it traces back to India and Central Africa. I’m not an expert, but the idea is basically valid, sorry.)

    Anyway, perhaps the Black New Orleanians who did not get out were the ones whose souls have been sacrificed, like their forefathers were (now did they ASK to be taken out of Africa originally?) –sacrificed in this scenario of global warming high rising waters, earth changes, and our neo con government that simply needs to get out of Iraq because we CANNOT AFFORD it! You should be blessing these people, not cursing them. In reality you are cursing your own dark side and projecting this out onto others. It is not the color of the skin, it is the color of the soul.

    Well, I know the level I’m talking to and this will just go over your head. At least most people don’t think that way. Next lifetime, you’ll come back as that which you hate, in order to understand love.

  41. Linda (unregistered) September 23rd, 2005 4:28 pm

    Hi Tim…had to read what you wrote a couple times…and re-read what I wrote…because unless I’m mistaken…it sounded like you were talking to me about everyone’s right to freedom of speech.

    My last paragraph says “Having said that…freedom of speech is a wonderful right that we have in this country…and that means hearing the bad along with the good.”

    Maybe you were just agreeing with me…but thought I would point that out to you. I agree freedom of speech is something we can never give up…no matter the price.

    As for Silverhawk…the “level” of people on here is varied. Just like the people in the United States that you are talking about in your message. You begin your message pretty much saying we are all equal…and then ruin the whole message with your last paragraph. We are not below your level simply because our beliefs are not yours. As a matter of fact…my beliefs are the same as yours. That makes me no higher or lower level than the rest of the people on here.

  42. Tim Faucheaux (unregistered) September 23rd, 2005 5:46 pm

    Hi Linda, I disagree with you philosophically when you say “The part of me that refuses to agree with it (Voltaire’s statement) is when its mean, hurtful, untrue statements that lack no basis in reality.” Perhaps I’m just mincing words and we are both saying the same thing in a different way. If so, I apologize. But, I believe ANY speech should be free unless it places others in imminent physical danger, such as yelling “FIRE!!” in a crowded movie theater and the like. Hurtful speech is almost always hurtful only when one doesn’t consider the source. The moronic, ignorant speech of a buffoon like Odessa should never and could never hurt a reasonably intelligent person who values themselves….But I would still defend Odessa’s right to say it. :-)

  43. Linda (unregistered) September 24th, 2005 5:47 am

    Ok Tim…gonna call this a draw…lol. I think we are pretty much in agreement actually as far as freedom of speech. My comment wasn’t so much they shouldn’t be “allowed” to express themselves…more a personal comment to them about their statements on here.

    As for statements not being able to hurt a reasonably intelligent person who values themselves…hmmmm…would be nice if the world was full of only that type of person…but its not…and mean spirited statements can and do hurt some people and hurt them deeply. Thats just a sad truth. Doesn’t mean I don’t think people shouldn’t have the right to express their feelings…only I guess I question why they need to.

    Ok…well…thing we have beat this dead horse to death…lol. Nice meeting ya.

    I am sorry to have to say it but I think that Damn Yankee and Odessa are correct overall, but they just made the truth a little to “offensive” for you all to swallow. The behavior of blacks in New Orleans has made me sick to my stomach. I have read accounts of the savage behavior of this human scum for days now from every major news source.

    Oh and by the way I am from Biloxi MS and OUR ENTIRE FUCKING CITY IS COMPLETELY DESTROYED!
    But you do not hear any of US crying and fucking whining and screaming about how the “gumbent” did not help us and we did not start LOOTING the whole fucking place while the wind was still blowing like the garbage in New Orleans did! Not to mention the fact we did not start RAPING and MURDERING people in 2 fucking days for Christ’s sake! Some of the raped and murdered were small children! These folks are not humans, they are garbage. Get off your fucking asses and help yourself and your neighbors. That’s what we are doing.

    Hey, wanna see some really, REALLY NASTY old school racism ? Peep out this article by the late Dr. Oliver, who spoke over half a dozen languages, including Sanskrit, and was head of Classics at a major university for literally decades in the mid 20th century :

    -
    A lesson to be learned

    The most important lesson, for those who have wit enough to learn it, is that niggers are by nature savages, and that nature cannot be changed by window-dressing or persiflage. No one doubts the unalterability of inherent instincts in other animals. Chimpanzees, for example, may be taught to wear clothing, understand commands, ride bicycles, smoke cigarettes, and even to act as nursemaids to children (if well paid for their services in bananas). They recognize that they must be obedient to their masters, but everyone knows that if bands of chimpanzees were free from control, they would behave with the ferocity you may have glimpsed for a moment or two if you watched the National Geographic’s video-tape about them, filmed by Jane Goodall.

    The simple fact is that all pure-blooded Congoids and most other niggers are innately savages and can never be anything else. First-generation mulattos, the result of miscegenation, a crime that would be stringently prohibited if tender-hearted humanitarians had any sense of pity, are almost invariably savages, but may inherit some White instincts and thus be condemned to suffer an incurable schizophrenia throughout their wretched lives. In quadroons occasionally and octoroons frequently the White elements may dominate and produce individuals capable of civilization instead of mimicking it when expedient. A few, indeed, are highly intelligent, as witness Lawrence Dennis, who was one of the victims of Franklin Roosevelt’s premature attempt to begin ruling by terror in imitation of his model, Lenin, and his fellow conspirator, Stalin. A rational and compassionate American, however, would have thought it pathetic that so intelligent and courageous a man as Dennis had to be almost childishly proud that he could entertain acquaintances in the Harvard Club, aware, of course, of the indelible genetic blot on his being.

    With the stated exceptions, niggers are savages and you should understand that you can never understand them, except as you understand cheetahs or cuttlefish, by observing their behavior. All missionaries and other gospel-venders pretend, and simple-minded ones actually believe, that niggers can be transformed by dousing them in holy water and giving them sips of Jesus-juice, but that is sheer nonsense, as No

    Ok…a bit confused here. Me and my shadow calls the people who don’t think like him cowards, brain dead zombies and self righteous cows. I don’t agree with him or some of the other horrible posts about all blacks on here and I have never been accused of being a “parrot”.

    Do I think people should be burned or killed because they think differently than me…no. Sure don’t and have said that. But have also said I don’t understand how anyone can judge an entire race based on what some have done. If you choose to do that…well…you need to decide here and now that all people on earth are scum.

    Every race has and will continue to do deplorable acts. Trying to remember…and I may be wrong…but I don’t remember a black being responsible in any of the serial killings??? But funny thing…I don’t hear you spouting off about how that makes all whites so bad.

    I’m sorry your city is destroyed. Did you stop to consider maybe people were screaming in New Orleans for help because a “few” of the people left were raping and out of control???

    Not that you will…but I’d like to see you stop judging people based on their color. The reason I say “not that you will” is because its very apparent you are already so set in your ways that you will never allow someone black close enough to you to see the real person. How very sad that is.

    As for Revilo P. Oliver’s ghost…first off…it amazes me the names you two have chosen. If you have something to say…why the catchy names?? At any rate Revilo…things like this is one of the reasons Me and my shadow feels like they do. Obviously this article is old and misguided. Am I saying misguided just because I don’t agree??? No. Would like to share something with you. I’m assuming you are a man…maybe not. I have an old medical book. Did you know that they use to think…understand these were doctors…as late as the turn of the century that teenage boys who had erections all the time had too much blood flow to that area of their bodies and they would apply leeches??? Laffing are you??? Me too. I am telling you this so that you can see…just because someone is experienced and educated does not mean what they say should be taken as gospel.

    Sit back and think you guys. If you are logical at all…you’ll realize an entire race can’t be blamed for what some of it does and thank God for that…because the white race has pulled some real acts that I for one am ashamed of.

    I included the article for shock value and humor, as well as a little education. Obviously it’s a little dated…but the man was indeed very smart and very well educated, far more so than just about any tenured Marxist professor drawing a paycheck at any one of our universities today.

    If you spend some time reading his many articles, you will notice that one thing he returns to again and again is his vast knowledge of esoteric Hebrew scriptures and dogma, and his virulent anti-Semitism. Simply put, he had many Zionists nailed for thier stated goals of world domination down through the ages, in writing, and he was not shy about warning those whom he considered to be his fellow patriots about this sinister plan to use American Negroes as the shock troops of miscegenation and the ultimate destruction of Western Civilization.

    He was not at all fond of Christianity, either, and considered the more racist variants of Hinduism to be a far more suitable choice of religion for his beloved Aryans.

    I wonder what Dr. Revilo would think of recent data that proves conclusively that Jews and some Asians (mainly Koreans and Japanese) tend to score way at the top of the I.Q. curve, with Whites much lower down the scale at about the middle (100), mixed-race American Negroes at about 85, and pure Congoid Negroes at about 70 ?

    The standard cut-off for mental retardation is 75.

    I have scored on various occasions, with different types of tests, at between 135 and 150. How about you, Linda ?

    The fact is, there is a hierarchy of intelligence among the races, and it is indeed genetic. Anyone who tells you that genetics do not influence intelligence and therefore behavior is either stupid, misinformed, or lying. Now, I am not going to sit here and tell you that there AREN’T a lot of stupid white trash around, because there are. Nor am I going to tell you that I haven’t met several Blacks who were indeed intelligent and civilized, because I have.

    But, generally speaking, we may draw conclusions about various groups of people by their behavior, and the behavior exhibited by the lovely people of New Orleans, such as the multiple gang rapes and murders of children, has been documented for all the world to see.

    Let’s see. You speak intelligently and obviously are well read…being book smart doesn’t particularly make you life smart…something you probably don’t care about. You can ask my IQ…I have no problem with that. To be honest…I don’t know nor do I care what it is. Why would I? You obviously do…and I’m glad for you that you tested high and feel so good about that. Having said that…you sound very full of yourself and not at all a person I would care to know. That fact you most likely will take as a compliment.

    In stating all your “facts” you fail to address the issue of serial killers. Not to mention our own little Jeffrey Dahmer or the hundreds of other sick people who have raped and murdered children. The men in New Orleans who raped those children are animals. I don’t care what color they are. I agree 100% with you on that fact. The people who looted…I don’t know. Should they have done that for other than food and water. No they shouldn’t. But whites were doing it also…just not being shown on the news as often as blacks…not to mention…there were a lot more blacks there than whites.

    I still say…you should not…and in my opinion…can not judge an entire race based on what a group does.

    But then again…as you say…you only included this article for shock value and humor, as well as a little education???? Very nice R.P.O.G. Its nice to know that you have the need to shock, entertain and educate us.

    Yes, it is indeed fun to enjoy the thought of people such as yourself squirming in distaste at the knowledge that there are articulate and very well read Social Darwinists such as myself out there. It’s also fun to realize that our numbers are about to grow more than tenfold as the inhabitants of the Lower Ninth Ward are flung all over the country, stupidly and happily exhibiting the very same set of behaviors that made that area of New Orleans so wonderfully livable in the first place.

    Talk to a taxpaying citizen of any of the urban centers of Texas in six months, and ask them how they feel about the contributions to the community that their new neighbors have made.

    Like they say, every cloud has a silver lining.

    Do yourself a favor. As you watch the setting sun tonight, scream at it as loud as you can NOT to set, with all the feeling in the world that you can possibly muster. It will have the exact same effect as your willful ignorance of the effects of genetics, biology, and evolution on human intelligence, behavior, and race.

    Hmmmmm…wondering where you hang your white hood. Sorry…that probably wasn’t very nice…but its how I felt at your entry.

    I want to share something with you and the others on here who seem to hate blacks so much. I have a friend…highly educated…very classy…and black. We were talking today at lunch about this blog and how angry I was at some of the entries. Squirming in distaste? Far from it…squirming makes it sound like I’m afraid to say anything about the way I feel. I do not need to squirm.

    I asked her how she handles such hatred of her race…and didn’t she want to sign on and defend her race. She answered…very calmly…No. I couldn’t believe it…why I asked. Why don’t you want to tell them its just not true. She told me…”Because people like that believe what they choose to believe. They will not change simply by being told they are wrong. In their eyes…they are right. Why would I want to be drawn into their hatred?”

    I realized something R.P.O.G. I realized by allowing myself to be drawn into your hatred…I in a very small way help you to validate your beliefs. Sure there will still be people that will listen to you rattle on and on. Unfortunately…some of them will believe you…because on the surface…you sound intelligent.

    Good luck in your life. I pity you that you will lead such a hate filled life feeling so supreme to others. It sounds pretty lonely to me actually. I have decided not to reply anymore to your posts. Am I running scared from what you might have to say…no…I’m not. If you have something to say…I’ll read it…no worries…but I won’t respond to you. It validates you and its stopping here…at least with me.

    More toxic spew, this time from a ghost and a shadow: things found in darkness.

    I hate to disturb the comfort of preconceived notions with facts, but it appears that the tales of rape and murder in the Superdome, of people shooting at rescue personnel, and the other horror stories coming out of NO in the beginning of the emergency, were little better than instant urban legends. Most people in that hell-hole of a stadium behaved themselves, cooperated with the few police on the scene, and did the best they could under the most appalling conditions to keep themselves and others alive.

    The only savagery I can discern comes from dunces and racists like the two abovementioned embarassments to humankind. Not to mention
    RPOG the ’social Darwinist’. Let’s hope he evolves into a sociable, higher life-form some day, rather than remaining in his present low state, making hominids like us squirm with distaste at the knowledge that he is, as he truly puts it, “out there”.

    What ‘major university’ did frothing nutcase Dr Revilo P. Oliver teach at? Whatsamatta U.? Miskatonic University? Or maybe Moron U.?

    According to the shadow, MS — the poorest state in the Union, and one of the most backwards — is going it alone in its hurricane recovery. Biloxi will rebuild itself. Good luck with that.

    Ah, the ad hominem attacks have begun. Well, that’s typical. You’ve really outdone yourselves. I’ll just skip right past the personal insults to two items :

    Ahem…the attacks in the Superdome and elsewhere have been heavily documented in the (mainly) European press. There is a little invention called Google that might help you here.

    Revilo P. Oliver was Professor of Classics at the University of Illinois for 32 years. Again, that little “Google” invention might help you if you are curious about the man’s legacy. Some of it, including his involvement in the War Department during WW2…given that he was an avowed National Socialist…and his bizarre testimony before the Warren Commission is downright fascinating. Not as fascinating as the work of another virulent racsit, Howard Phillips Lovecraft, whom you are obviously more familiar with than I…but bizarre and fascinating nonetheless.

    Fire away with the insults, but don’t you DARE offer any factual rebuttals.

    Me, I have to go back to work. Taxpayer and all, you see.

    Nature tried to drown all those worthless niggers.
    But rats can survive anything. If the shoe fits
    wear it. If not you can poach it and eat it.
    A nigger is a nigger and you can’t shine shit!
