The media pisses me off. Lately they've been stressing the fact that most of the victims in New Orleans right now are black. What the fuck does it matter what race they are? These are the EXACT words of the man who was on I think it was CNN earlier "all these people are so, so poor, and so black" so black? how the fuck can you be so black? It's fucking ridiculous. And they're like "oh yes blah blah 80 percent of them are black" And it's also making me mad how they've been saying the national guard is coming down to help, they've been saying that since Tuesday and yet where are they now? They sit there and film all these helpless people treading through the waters, why are you filming them instead of helping them? It just really bothers me.I want to go back to Mississippi. I know there's nothing left, but it's still home. I just want to be there. Anyways, I got in touch with my mom. I've just been really emotional all day and I broke down in tears on the phone with her. I can't even begin to describe how I felt when I heard her voice. She's in Tennessee right now because they turned her around when she tried to head back to Mississippi. I don't know when I'll get to see her and it just sucks. I've never been in this situation before and I really just don't know what to do. Haley's looking for answers from me and it upsets me that all I can tell her is "i don't know" because honestly I really don't. I don't know what the hell I'm going to do from here.
