WHY can't we all just get along???
This exact E-mail is EXACTLY what black people mean by the United States of America being a racist country that doesn't care for them. This is exactly what Kanye had in mind. This is only fuel for the white hating fire, please stop sending it around. I know it makes us feel better by venting but this goes way to far. This is why there's still racism in this country, because hard ass people get WAY TOO DEFENSIVE, instead of stepping back and asking what they can do to help. What did this letter accomplish? Do you really feel better after having read this? I didn't. Please everyone, do something to help bring this wonderful nation I call my home, together. Why must we be so one sided? I took a hurricane victim home to a nursing home from the hospital today. He never once bitched, or whined about FEMA, the Government or anything. He said "Bless the lord for giving me a second chance in Louisville, KY." Because his house on the coast of TX no longer existed. Why should we as Americans focus on the absolute most negative experiences out of this event, instead of coming forward putting it behind us and helping the tired, the weary, the huddled masses urning to break free, even if they are thieves and freeloaders. As Christians we are called to help even those that are our enemy's!!! So lets get started DAMNIT Wake up America. Let's live up to our fore fathers dreams instead of pissing on them. Help an evacuee. I bet there's one within a mile of you.

For the people of New Orleans... First we would like to say, Sorry for
your loss.
With that said, Lets go through a few hurricane rules: (Unlike an
earthquake, we know it's coming)
#1. A mandatory evacuation means just that... Get the hell out. Don't
blame the Government after they tell you to go. If they hadn't said
anything, I can see the argument. They said get out...if you didn't, it's
your fault, not theirs. (We don't want to hear it, even if you don't have
a car, you can get out.)
#2. If there is an emergency, stock up on water and non-perishables. If
you didn't do this, it's not the governments fault you're starving.
#2a. If you run out of food and water, find a store that has some.
(Remember, shoes, TV's, DVD's and CD's are not edible. Leave them alone.)
#2b. If the local store is too looted of food or water, leave your
neighbor's TV and stereo alone. (See # 2a) They worked hard to get their
stuff. Just because they were smart enough to leave during a mandatory
evacuation, doesn't give you the right to take their stuff...it's theirs,
not yours.
#3. If someone comes in to help you, don't shoot at them and then
complain no one is helping you. I'm not getting shot to help save some
dumbass who didn't leave when told to do so.
#4. If you are in your house that is completely under water, your
belongings are probably too far gone for anyone to want them. If someone
does want them, Let them have them and hopefully they'll die in the filth.
Just leave! (For Christ's sakes, it's New Orleans, find a voodoo warrior
and put a curse on them)
#5. My tax money should not pay to rebuild a 2 million dollar house, a
sports stadium or a floating casino. Also, my tax money shouldn't go to
rebuild a city that is under sea level. You wouldn't build your house on
quicksand would you? You want to live below sea-level, do your country
some good and join the Navy.
#6. Regardless what the Poverty Pimps Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton
want you to believe, The US Government didn't create the Hurricane as a
way to eradicate the black people of New Orleans; (Neither did Russia as a
way to destroy America). The US Government didn't cause global warming
that caused the hurricane (We've been coming out of an ice age for over a
million years).
#7. The government isn't responsible for giving you anything. This is
the land of the free and the home of the brave, but you gotta work for
what you want. McDonalds and Walmart are always hiring, get a damn job and
stop spooning off the people who are actually working for a living.
President Kennedy said it best... "Ask not what your country can do for
you, ask what you can do for your country."
Thank you for allowing me to rant.
