Things I have learned over the last 8 days.
1. The hurricane only hit black families' 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.
8. Now the city is welfare, looters and gang free and
they are in your city.
9. White folks don't make good news stories.
10. 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.
11. Only black family members got separated in the hurricane rescue efforts.
12. Ignore warnings to evacuate and the white folks will come get you and give you money for being stupid.
I received this email on 22 sep 2005. Who cares about New Orleans what about Alabama and Mississippi? I guess there wasn't much damage done in these two states.

Storm Donations Found at Official's Home Thu Sep 22, 7:25 AM ET
Police found cases of food, clothing and tools intended for hurricane victims at the home of the chief administrative officer for a New Orleans suburb, authorities said Wednesday.
Officers searched Cedric Floyd's home because of complaints that city workers were helping themselves to donations for hurricane victims. Floyd, who runs the day-to-day operations in the suburb of Kenner, was in charge of distributing the goods.
Police plan to seek a charge of committing an illegal act as a public official against Floyd, and more charges against other city workers are possible, police Capt. Steve Caraway said.
The donations filled a large pickup truck four times. "It was an awful lot of stuff," Caraway said.
The donated materials must be processed as evidence but eventually will be distributed to victims. "We have lots of families that are begging for these supplies," said Attorney General Charles Foti, whose office assisted in the investigation.
Attempts to reach Floyd were unsuccessful at home numbers listed under his name in Kenner. His office number went unanswered after business hours.
Philip Ramon, chief of staff to Kenner Mayor Philip Capitano, has said city officials were investigating the alleged pilfering but added that many employees were themselves hurricane victims.
