Greg Palast: It’s unbelievably ugly. You will see in the film mile after mile of destroyed houses. The 9th Ward looks worse than Berlin after the war because there’s hardly a building standing. And this was just filmed a couple months ago! This was filmed one year after the flood. In Indonesia, they have rebuilt after the tsunami. The only thing they are rebuilding here is a Disneyland on the Mississippi to recreate a new, white, conservative city.
And don’t forget, keeping African-Americans from coming back into New Orleans is amazing political gerrymandering. This is going to be crucial to keeping Louisiana in the Republican column in 2008. That’s really part of the story.A lot of the poor black areas are still underwater and the money that is available isnt being spent.
The black people (and white as well) that had no job, no money, no transportation to get out and who were transported out on buses to other states will probably not be coming back. Why, because they still have no job, no money and no transportation. Rest assured though, the government is sending their welfare checks to their new address. They are doing just fine.
Kind of like your own comments and opinions except yours are correct because they are yours. You are hypocrisy in action and you are too dim to realize it.
So will the Republicans be pushing the \”dreaded\” African-Americans that came from Louisiana (after the hurricane) out of Houston/Texas so that this state is not over run with Democrats?
Seriously? These are the arguments of today\’s society? And we wonder why everything is going into the toilet.
Question for you- if you think these people are not doing so well, are you located here in Houston? Have you seen the hurricane survivors? Have you been to the job fairs? What kind of research have you done personally? Or are you getting your information from the media? That\’s what I thought.

Very courageous of you to ask that B. I think I am afraid of the answer. In any case, it\’s nice to see you again.
Do you think this situation is the fault of the Democrats or Republicans? Just kidding… I wonder what else will unfold regarding this aid.
I\’ve been enjoying the posts.
Typical Attorney – RI ……lots of yada, yada, yada & doesn\’t say anything in the final analysis.
Hey Jewel, nice to see you. I\’ve been wondering where you were. I thought you would enjoy this one.
Personally I think everything that is wrong with the world is the fault of the green party. World movers and shackers they are. :-)

They dont want the black people to come back.
The 9th Ward looked almost as bad before the storm. Trust me on this one.
The black people (and white as well) that had no job, no money, no transportation to get out and who were transported out on buses to other states will probably not be coming back. Why, because they still have no job, no money and no transportation. Rest assured though, the government is sending their welfare checks to their new address. They are doing just fine.
Chad — you can replace Liberal/Democrat with Neocon/Republican and your post would still be correct and make sense.

My dad always says \”When I want your opinion, I\’ll give it to you.\”
Of course, he is joking when he says it…
Fact is fact (and true) and opinion is opinion (neither true nor false because it can not be proven).
I love when the race card is pulled on issues.
