True story from Katrina

A letter from a VERY UPSET Mississippi Doctor !

What the news does not show...

Thought I might inform the few friends I have on my recent traumatic experience. I am going to tell it straight, blunt, raw, and I don't give a damn. Long read, I know but please do read!!!

I went to volunteer on Saturday at the George R. Brown convention for two reasons.

A: I wanted to help people to get a warm fuzzy.

B: Curiosity.

I've been watching the news lately and have seen scenes that have made me want to vomit. And no it wasn't dead bodies, the city under water, or the sludge everywhere. It was PEOPLE'S BEHAVIOR. The people on TV, (99% being Black) were DEMANDING help. They were not asking nicely but demanding as if society owed these people something. Well the honest truth is WE DON'T.
Help should be asked for in a kind manner and then appreciated. This is not what the press (FOX in particular) was showing, what I was seeing was a group of people who are yelling, demanding, looting, killing, raping, and SHOOTING back at the demanded help!!!!! So I'm thinking this can't possibly be true can it???? So I decide to submit to the DEMAND for help out of SHOCK. I couldn't believe this to be true of the majority of the people who are the weakest of society. So I went to volunteer and help folks out and see the truth. So I will tell the following story and you decide:

I arrived at the astrodome only to find out that there were too many volunteers and that volunteers were needed at the George R. Brown Convention Center. As I was walking up to the Convention Center I noticed a line of cars that wrapped around blocks filled with donations. These were ordinary Houstonians coming with truckloads and trunks full of water, diapers, clothes, blankets, food, all types of good stuff. And lots of it was NEW. I felt that warm fuzzy while helping unload these vehicles of these wonderful human beings. I then went inside the building and noticed approximately 100,000 sq. ft. of clothes, shoes, jackets, toys and all types of goodies all organized and ready for the people in need. I signed up, received a name badge and was on my merry way excited to be useful.

I toured the place to get familiar with my surroundings; the entire place is probably around 2 million sq. ft. I noticed rows as far as the eye can see of mattresses, not cots, BLOW UP MATTRESSES!!! All of which had nice pillows and plenty of blankets. 2 to 3 bottles of water lay on every bed. These full size to queen size beds by the way were comfortable, I laid in one to see for myself. I went to look at the medical area. I couldn't believe what my eyes were seeing!!! A makeshift hospital created in 24 hours!!! It was unbelievable, they even had a pharmacy. I also noticed that they created showers, which would also have hot water. I went upstairs to the third floor to find a HUGE cafeteria created in under 24 hours Rows of tables, chairs and food everywhere - enough to feed an army! I'm not talking about crap food either. They had Jason's deli food, apples, oranges, coke, diet coke, lemonade, orange juice, cookies, all types of chips and sandwiches. All the beverages by the way were put on ice and chilled!!!! In a matter of about 24 hours or less an entire mini-city was erected by volunteers for the poor evacuees. This was not your rundown crap shelter, it was BUM HEAVEN.

So that was the layout: great food, comfy beds, clean showers, free medical help, by the way there was a library, and a theatre room that I forgot to mention. Great stuff right????

Well here is what happened on my journey -

I started by handing out COLD water bottles to evacuees as they got off the bus. Many would take them and only 20% or less said thank you. Lots of them would shake their heads and ask for sodas! So this went on for about 20-30 minutes until I was sick of being an unappreciated servant. I figured certainly these folks would appreciate some food!!! So I went upstairs to serve these beloved evacuees some GOOD food that I wish I could have at the moment!

***The following statements are graphic, truthful, and discuss UNRATIONAL behavior***

Evacuees come slowly to receive this mountain of food that is worth serving to a king! I tell them that we have 2 types of great deli sandwiches to choose from - ham and turkey. Many look at the food in disgust and DEMAND burgers, pizza, and even McDonalds!!!! Jason's deli is better than McDonalds!!!! Only 1 out of ten people who took something would say ""thank you"" the rest took items as if it was their God given right to be served without a shred of appreciation!!! They would ask for Beer and liquor. They complained that we didn't have good enough food. They refused food and laughed at us. They treated us volunteers as if we where SLAVES. No not all of them of course, but 70% did!!!!!! 20% were appreciative, 10% took the food without any comment and the other 70% had some disgusting comment to say. Some had the nerve to laugh at us. And when I snapped back at them for being mean, they would curse at me!!! Needless to say I was in utter shock. They would eat their food and leave their mess on the table. Some would pick up their stuff, many would leave it for the volunteers to pick up. I left that real quick to go down and help set up some more beds. I saw many young ladies carrying mattresses and I helped for a while. Then I realized something. There were hundreds of able bodied young men who could help!! I asked a group of young evacuees in their teens and early twenties to help. I got cursed at for asking them to help!!! One said ""We just lost our f ' ing homes and you want us to work!!"" The next said ""Ya Cracker, you got a home we don't."" I looked at them in disbelief. Here are women walking by carrying THEIR BEDS and they can't lift a finger and help themselves!!

WHY SHOULD I HELP PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TO HELP THEMESELVES!!!!

I waved them off and turned away and was laughed at and more ""white boy jokes"" were made at me. I felt no need to waste my breath on a bunch of pitiful losers. I went to a nearby restroom where I noticed a man shaving. I used the restroom, washed my hands and saw this man throw his razor towards the trash can...he missed. he walked out leaving his disgusting razor on the floor for some other ""cracker"" to pick up. Even the little kids were demanding. I saw only ONE white family and only TWO Hispanic families. The rest where blacks. Sorry - 20% to 30% decent blacks, and 70% LOSERS!!!!!

I would call them N*****S, but the actual definition of a n*****r is one who is ignorant, these people were not ignorant..they were ARROGANT A ' HOLES. The majority of which are thugs and lifetime lazy ass welfare recipients. We are inviting the lowest of the low to Houston. And like idiots we are serving the people who will soon steal our cars, rape, murder, and destroy our city while stealing from our pockets on a daily basis through the welfare checks they take. We will fund our own destruction.

By ""US"" I don't mean a specific race, I mean the people who work hard, work smart, have values and morals. Only people who want to help themselves should be helped, the others should be allowed to destroy themselves. I do not want to work hard, give the government close to half the money I earn so they can in turn give it to a bunch of losers.

I don't believe in being poor for life. My family immigrated here, we came here poor, and now thank God, and due to HARD WORK we are doing fine. If immigrants, who come here, don' t know the language can work and become successful... WHY CAN'T THE MAJORITY OF THE HOMEGROWN DO IT!!! If we continue to reward these losers then we will soon destroy our great country. I just witnessed selfish, arrogant, unappreciative behavior by the very people who need help the most. Now these same people who cursed me, refused my city's generosity, who refuse to help themselves are DEMANDING handouts on their own terms!!!!!!! They prance around as if they are owed something, and when they do receive a handout, they say it's not good enough! Well you know what these types of people can go to hell for all I care!

  1. Cat, do you know this doctor personally? While I tend to believe, in general, things have happened as he described, I'd be curious to know if this particular account of what's happening is true.

  2. As I read this letter, I was thinking, "this simply can't be true." THEN, when I noticed it was written by a doctor, I KNEW it wasn't true...a doctor wouldn't have written it in such a manner. It was written by someone who had an racial agenda, which is very very sad, given the circumstances. Check out Desertman's link to snopes...the truth is found there.

  3. This was sent to me by a friend of mine from Mississippi, it may not be a doctor that wrote it, but after watching Tv for the last three weeks, I saw blacks doing the same thing he wrote about. John told me that there are more poor whites than blacks in Mississippi. I have said before, I have a lot of good Black friends, but I hate the niggers of the same race. I hope you nigger lovers like paying all of your money for taxes, so they can live the life of Riley. My county is one of the porest in Georgia, I help good blacks all the time, we donate and do free work for all of them. It is a crying shame that the good black people in this world have to be downgraded and looked down upon, because of there brothers. Call me a racist, maybe, but I have never asked the government for a dime and my family dating back 300 years have never asked either. This blog is like a big old asshole, everyone has one, come back and read my blog or just click me off. Take care and be safe, Cat

  4. And for good reason, I think. The reason this doctor's name has become associated with it is that the letter was once forwarded from his email account.

  5. This stuff has been going on over here in the Baton Rouge area since they brought these militant fucks up here.they are tearing up the River Center,crapping on the floors and wiping it on the walls and other objects suchas walls,seats,etc. One of my friend's wife,that was working there, was told by numerous ne'er do wells taking refuge that "how does it feel for a honkie to be waiting us nigga's for a change?" on top of being threatened and accosted numerous times. She quit after a couple of days, and no,this sure as hell ain't no urban myth. Dana, I don't where your from, but the doctor sounds just like he's a good ol' mizz'sippy boy, as I am one myself, and we talk like that down here, dontcha know. If you put all your faith in what they say over at Snopes.com on this matter, then I'd like to sell you some water front property in the Naw'lins area, and the price is right,as well as the multi-culti aspect probably to your liking.

  6. Hey Brand X tell your friend's wife to tell those ne're do well that it feels about the same as slopping the hogs or feeding her dogs down at the farm.

  7. Mithglin, that would be demeaning to the hogs.

  8. This letter was forwarded to me as well, and I wondered if it was a fake. In our city, we housed about 500 evacuees and I took some items to them the day they arrived. They were gracious and thankful, but when I heard that the recipients of the $2500 cash cards were found charging at strip clubs, my opinion of some changed.It's just like anything else in this country, you have considerate people and those raised like heathens. Traumatic events tend to reveal our basic beliefs in life.Thanks for coming by my place today, the Bob Barker post. He's quite a lady's man, huh? Not my cup of tea. Not into wrinkled everything!

  9. Some people from my college volunteered at Camp Grueber here in Oklahoma. They said most of them were friendly but my professor said that the women wanted to cook their own food because they didn't like ours. My friend works for KOTV here and he said that everyone had a story that they were eager to tell but that they all just wanted someone to listen to. I can't imagine what those people are going through and I am sure a lot of them probably act the way they did in that scenario but you might too. You never know what you would do until you are in the same place. If I had no place to be and everyone was telling me what I could and couldn't do, I don't know. Well That is all I have to say. Take care ya'll and God bless

  10. I was just thinking as I was reading the comments, I bet the liquor store owners were thrilled to see those FEMA and Red Cross cards being handed out...Ah well, I understand that there's a place in Texas for all the NO hood rats they just absorbed, it's called TDCJ... I figure they'll just erect barbed wire and guard towers around the shelters...
