NEW ORLEANS - AT THE CONVENTION CENTER - KATRINA

[Tokyo64Shinobi]

You can tell at a single glimpse that niggers are loud mouthed and commit murder and rape in record numbers...

[goldeelocs252]

looks like Africa in America wake up my bothers and sisters

[guerrero1106]

a real tragedy, not that preplanned stuff

[catwoman34]

I remember sitting there watching this exact story on the news and just feeling so furious...to this day I still find it hard to watch.There is NO excuse for what happened during Katrina...Bush got away with so much as President yet people criticize Obama for the smallest thing...

[mamacornettesmoney]

@catwoman34 Bush got away with things? Are you kidding? I HATED Bush, but get real. He was the most villified President of my lifetime. People criticized the SHIT out of him for Katrina, even for stuff that OTHERS were responsible for. He was being called a heartless racist on national TV by pop stars & pundits. He deserved most of his criticisms, but to say he "got away" with anything is a wild statement. that guy was presented as everything ranging from a clueless buffoon to a satanic NAZI.

[jettastreetracer]

i say this was a test to see how they can control us population incase of social unrest...they specifically used iraq vets to help.

[mamacornettesmoney]

@jettastreetracer Afghanistan vets, too. I've heard that they actually used tactics learned from dealing with warlords in Afghanistan when dealing with gang leaders in the Super Dome. From what I've heard from the inside (multiple sources) the initial reports were NOT exxagerrated and it was indeed lawless bedlam at first, but they figured out how to work and negotiate with the gang leaders much in the same way they did tribal warlords.

[SilentOwlScribe]

This was at a time when MSNBC was actually worth something.

[gopconservative78]

Thank you Hurricane Katrina.....this city is a shithole....should have been finished off

[scottyray12]

Very sad that All of us failed in this disaster. Everyone failed.

[ProJanitor]

glad i was in iraq LOL

[Z7EXTREMEBABY]

this is what happens when every thing has been giving to u instead of working for it!,bitching and complaining !! We don't have dis ! De bes not helpin ! Why de don't do nutin ! Dis is crazy! 400 years of fucking excuses ! And still can't move forward , just think if it was just white people in new Orleans during the flood ?? U thing they be looting ( tv s )??? I tell u what would happen they would pull TOGETHER and do the best they can to SURVIVE , not blame other people, point the finger, an

[jheetman]

wait until the state stops providing in the entire country for weeks or months on end, the black community will literally destroy itself.

[Castaril]

these people are stupid. they were told the hurricane was coming.

[lltysonll]

wish the parents of the younger kids would have left NO, its a city under sea level. I would leave every storm and I bet they learned their lesson now. NO is corrupt anyways the politicians in LA should have had a better plan. I feel bad for them mostly the little kids.

[dsanthony]

Civilized people would have endured the crisis without the violence and chaos. Their daily lives are filthy, so that filth was highlighted by the crisis.

[TheChiguy03]

stupid niggers and white trash. For crying out loud, you knew a big ass hurricane was coming. PREPARE yourself. Bring buckets of water, bring extra buckets, bring anything you can store water, food or actual human shit.

[melardkey]

When the government says "come this way, we can protect you"... RUN. Run as fast as you can in the other direction!

[melardkey]

Would it have killed you to fill some jugs with water before the storm came? You knew for days it was coming. This should be a lesson to everyone, the government can't save you. You have to save yourself!

I'd bet 99% of the people in these videos, where ever they are living now, have NO water stored and barely 1 day of food. They experienced it and they didn't learn.

[44musicluvr]

@selimaazouri There are white people who care about black people. When I see this video, it brings me to tears. I just want you to know that there are people who care. Bless.

[tyronepimpshin]

Dis hurt me more than 9-11 im from dallas bt i feel like those were my ppl dwn n new orleans suffering 4 nothing dis is something dat really hurts da hearts of all da black communities around America we hve 2 stick together.

[mynameisabag]

we are guily

[seamusdog420]

@selimaazouri @selimaazouri Best you can do i guess, with your vocabulary limited to grunts hoots and screams. You should bow down as it's in your genes. Im fine with cracker...it beats welfare sucking gorilla any day of the week. So you shut up and maybe I'll give you a bannana, instead of tying u to the whipping post. Cracker indeed. fuck you nigger trash.

[44musicluvr]

@seamusdog420 Why are you talking to black people like this? The majority of the victims of Hurricane Katrina were black people. Look at how they were left there for four days with no food and no water. What do you have to be angry about?

[seamusdog420]

@44musicluvrI just don't care for usless ppl who fuck our collective welfare butts, tell you what, look up black crime stats in America, and compare them to that of other races and get back to me. 88% more likley to commit violent offenses, rape robbery murder etc.....but from your previous comment, i already know what your answer will be....it's everyones fault but their own.

[seamusdog420]

@selimaazouri Best you can do i guess, with your vocabulary limited to grunts hoots and screams. You should bow down as it's in your genes. Im fine with cracker...it beats welfare sucking gorilla any day of the week. So you shut up and maybe I'll give you a bannana, instead of tying u to the whipping post. Cracker indeed. fuck you nigger trash.

[seamusdog420]

@selimaazouri And just why should we? We have been wiping their black ases with welfare checks and food stamps for decades now and what do we get in return? Raped robbed and dogged. Lets cut them all off public assistance if they feel this way and then they can starve like the rest of the Africans. Tell you what. I'll supply the flies for around their mouhs so they can feel more at home

[seamusdog420]

quaneshawalker

[jenner560]

Um...yeah,,,Mandatory Evacuation...that means everyone leave. If you stay, youre on your own. I live on the gulf coast too...and when there is a hurricane, sometimes they tell you ...your are encourage to leave and evacuate....if you stay, you are on your own,,,don't call 911, dont call the cable or power company because no one will respond. People stay and then afterwards, they think everyone owes them something.

[RealYungSoulja]

@selimaazouri okay i dont mean all but a lot

[RealYungSoulja]

you right man... all evil ppl can see is there black so tht means no help... america no U.s. can help other countries the same day something happens but when their own city needs help nobody do sumthen.. its mainly a race thing which is stupid we all bleed the same blood... but im black an if i saw a city full of nuthen but white ppl you better believe ima help them because race doesnt mean anything its just another way to try to separate us from being together... we are all family!!

[worseto]

2 words BUSH SUCKS.

[TPS996]

It was no accident that it happened this way. It was all planned.

[pulpulak]

is that Africa or USA ????????

[Thegamer5150]

I think the Rich and Middle class people were smart enough to get out

[wwwy2000]

i thought there was no electricity at the convention center but at 0:41 there are lights on at the convention center???

[magpiemaniac]

Katrina was the result of decades of the entitlement society. You don't have to be rich to keep a dozen gallons of drinking water on hand. You don't have to be a millionaire to keep canned food in storage. Yes, it's sad, but these people are victims of the cradle to grave nanny state. They used the "social safety net" as a hammock and now they don't know how to take care of themselves. Harsh, but true.

[WorldTravelTV]

Fuck that shit, I would've begun to move away from the Dome after day 1. If there is no one in charge then who or what are you waiting for? Put those human survival insticts to work! As for people blaming the Feds. Sure but I think the city & state were more to blame. No resources? Bullshit.

[Cunard51]

America is the most greedy, racist, homopholic and sexist country in the Western World and a prime example of Western imperalism! No other country in the Western World would have let this happen, hell homosexuals would have been treated better than black people, that's how evil and ghastly this country is!

Fuck America, long live Canada, England, France and all of Western Eruope! Thank God i live in New England, at least it's liberal minded up here!

[isaacgregg]

@Cunard51 yeah and you have the government to do it all for you.. the problem is everyone here thinks the government is responsible for all of us.. learn some self suffiency for god's sake

[Simon839]

@Cunard51 Really? France and England treat black people better than the United States? I guess you haven't talked to the folks in Sierra Leone, Cote d'Ivoire, or the other former French and British colonies in West Africa. Why don't you go to India and talk to elderly folks and see how much they loved the Brits? Ever heard of Amritsar?

[TheHappyjack1]

the Canadian government offer the U.S a disaster response team three days after the hurricane. The U.S only ask of help two week later.

[xXlilsportchikXx]

this is absolutely horrible...and the guy under me, you are foul. you are disgusting. you obviously do not know anything about their situation so stfu you moron.

[TheKerryzzz]

who cares . let them die. They had enough warning to get out.

[dezity1980]

You are a piece or shit!!! you need to get your sorry ass off the damn cite if you are that disgusted!! I think the best thing for you would be to just cut your damn hands off so that can you can no longer comment on anything. I feel sorry for your family!!!

[partyongarth420]

thats true.. these black people were killing each other.. beating the shit out of each other left and right.. raping women by the bundles.. several young girls were found in the bathroom with there throats slit.. prime example of how nigggers conduct themselves when disaster breaks losose

[MrKingtreezy]

I was in the convention center for the storm and it was way worse than that ya dig, can't say that much but i remember when a old lady died in there and they(the national guard) put her in the middle of the street and left here there all week with a cover over her, thats why im like we had ta do what we had ta do, fuck we had ta live.

[85nitsuj]

SOME GOOD REPORTING!!!!

[MrSally56]

The blame should first be placed on Ray Nagin-then Blanco -then Bush and the idiots of FEMA.What a national disgrace.

[kevandtt]

that is so sad...in america..where we get taxed for everything..but we can spend billions in a war in iraq but cant give our own citizens a bottle of water..makes me so sad

[raleelee88]

Those poor babies!! Omg...

[strong8action]

That is exactly what would happen if the US had to cut welfare programs.

[gwokerism]

look at all these animals....

[steven2be2003]

this is why I would rather depend on a white mayor in my city, cant trust niggas for shit..

[joker12341]

Its amazing that people will defend the federal government to this day about what happened then. Bush is somewhat at fault, but he and Michael Brown were both scapegoated too. Chertoff, Nagin, and Blanco have to share the blame.

But Bush's butt is under fire, because as president, he had the power to circumvent all of the bureaucracy and just get food and water to people that needed it. And don't give me unconstitutional. Bush wipes his butt with that document. Look at the patriot act.

[LLCoolPass]

no he couldn't it was all in iraq lol

[bds10181978]

If anyone says that all blacks are criminals are fucking clueless.

[milkweed1989]

looks like haiti

[jandean61]

"hait" thats horrible ! Yes, Horrible Mayor but even horrible PREZ

[dawg3277]

The worst of it was the kids. Anyone that would wish that on any child is not merely an idiot. There is no words to describe people who don't care about others , that I know would fit that kind of attitude. What if it was your grandmother or child there. Think about that . Think also about this. What if it were you ? Who cares if they were black or not , i don't. They were left there. With nothing , and no protection. Women were raped , kids were starving .

WTF has the world come to ?

[RealYungSoulja]

@dawg3277 you right man... all evil ppl can see is there black so tht means no help... america no U.s. can help other countries the same day something happens but when their own city needs help nobody do sumthen.. its mainly a race thing which is stupid we all bleed the same blood... but im black an if i saw a city full of nuthen but white ppl you better believe ima help them because race doesnt mean anything its just another way to try to separate us from being together... we are all family!!

[dawg3277]

@RealYungSoulja I was looking through and saw the comment Realyung..One of theses days the america we would like to see..Is going to fall off the map because we seperate .not only ourselves , but the way we dont help and love others. Thats why our country is in the shape that its in now...no one cares.. that above all else is important.

Kids , Wives, Friends , people we dont know..who cares ..If they are in need. Help thats what I would do..its people like you and I that make it THE US.A..

[RealYungSoulja]

@dawg3277 man thts why when i hear ppl say da end is near i can agree cus i can kinda feel it in the atmosphere how crazy ppl is now days... everything is corrupt.. an soon as a leader comes up smare knowledge wise person .. doing nuthen but good for the people some one will kill him a lot of ppl want the world to be like it is today... you cant do nuthen but pray for them

[HogRebel]

@dawg3277 It just seems like the whole relief effort (including the way they didn't use resources they HAD to evacuate those with no transportation) was a total failure on the part of the local, state, AND Fed Govt. I hope and pray to God nothing like this ever happens again! But just in case it does, we'd better have learned some lessons from this, and apply them, and be ready.

[mynameisabag]

@dawg3277 all of this while we had the army going full force buttfucking iraq

[kirra77]

@dawg3277 Women were raped? By who? Blacks? Yeah, Blacks......and thank your black mayor for that and place no blame on whites for a Hurricane that was announced 5 days before it`s landfall. It boils down to intelligence and self preservation, something Blacks can`t be taught.

[dawg3277]

@kirra77 first and foremost I am white not black secondly, it doesnt matter the who it matters that it happened...think about the children .. u have any ? probably not..and the fact that its possible that a child saw that ...despite the fact that people died , or do people even matter ? Black White Asian French who cares.. the fact is that they are all people regardless of what some white people may think..And honestly what would you say if it were turned around and it was you it happened to ?

[catwoman34]

@kirra77 You are heartless and racist.I pray God has mercy on you when your time comes-oh and I am a white female btw.

[harvey504]

new orleans was a black city in 2005 like 70%blk

[wilmaohman]

nobody seems to realize this was not a designated shelter.someone started a rumor that this was a designated shelter.only the dome was a shelter of last resort meaning only a roof over your head ,no food no water or anything else. the convention center was locked until someone broke the locks to get inside. new orleans had no designated shelter thanks to the locals not having a plan for the people.these people were lied to when told this was a shelter.

[eyeOOsee]

The Rise and Fall of the American Empire. Done by design.

Those people were BEYOND patient.

[poosaypirate]

time for a regime change

[jaydrums101]

why are there so many black people in this video?

[smartinezjr114]

Look how they act, i mean who would help someone that acted that way. Act like everyone owes them something.

[poosaypirate]

hopefully some day people will say that about YOU. and dont think you are better than natural or man made disaster, asshole

[maf26]

I'll like the see how you will act with 4 days without food, little water, no privacy etc.

[futsalfred2]

Not like a raving idiot.

[maf26]

again I would love to see what you would do

[cooperlester]

what an ignorant, stupid comment. you obviously are a complete idiot

[phrydoom]

Katrina was an inside job! Whitie dun did it y'all. What it is, what it is! What dat is? WORD.

[blackstripes1]

HAHAHAHA

[Valnique4Love]

We live in a sick world, with bad leaders (people in general), and if the world continues to have people that think like yourselves nothing will ever get solved. Hurricane Katrina was and is a tragedy, you either do your part to help mend the situation or just shut the hell up! The world and these people can do without your ignorant comments. It easy to talk, but have you done anything other than voice your racist, and bigot comments? Probably Not?

[Valnique4Love]

You people really have the damn nerve and gall to suggest that the primary reason for this tragedy is that these citizens breed to much. First of all they are not animals, they are human beings. Furthermore, just imagine that your family and friends were going through this. Would that make the situation more bona fide. Why do you have to see the corpses and the sick? Does this help validate the fact that these people are suffering?

[Valnique4Love]

[Dianatheartist]

Like I Said Chocolate Mommies Daddies And Babies Need Chocolate Rubbers.You Cant Feed DO NOT BREED!No Animals,Elderly Or Animals or children should live below the water table.ITS CRIMANAL to make the innocent suffer because of lazy fuckers!!!

[Valnique4Love]

[lessof2evils]

you will die of cancer and so will your vanilla children. trust me you will die

seek repentance

[phrydoom]

So will you, so will you.

[Dianatheartist]

All these poor people with babies they cannot afford,if you cant feed DO NOT BREED.

[rjones6801]

Are they going to use the local ATM to get some money, and perhaps travel over to their local WalMart and get some food? Oh wait, the government wouldn't let them leave...and there wasn't any power anyways. Let me drop you off in the middle of a desert with an ATM card and bank account with $100,000 in it. We'll see how long you last. This is a national disaster, not an everyday occurrence.

[nicoleayanna]

before katrina im sure that they were feeding their babies,,but in a situation like this, they were left there with nothing..and most of the food stores were locked up due to katrina

[DMan6500]

It is sad that this happened in American. We go literally all around the world to help people, but do nothing to help it own citizens when they need help the most.

[darkwarrior1383]

@DMan6500 i hear you we can police the world, but we can't help our selves.... WTF

[dvdgod]

Show me everything! Why did they censor this? This is the United States not fucking communist China! I want to see the dead bodies, everything! I want to see the dead tar babies, dead niggers, etc. New Orleans is a hopeless mess...... why do people still live there?

[TennesseeShelties]

you are a sick person. God will punish you.

[phrydoom]

He will punish you too

[stackleft]

fuck you homo. anyone that likes toto must take it up the ass. lol

[jendeb2010]

Censorship... it sucks. I'd like to see the dead bodies, the dehydrated babies... I mean, that's the reality of what happened. Yet, it's hidden. Why? :-(

[regholly]

I agree..show us the real horror..so it can hit home..not this PG 13 mess, dont get me wrong its still tragic..but u can't imagine the horror or hopelessness until u actually go through something

[Weihrauch95]

Where was Mayor Nagin during all of this?

[blackstripes1]

horrible mayor. why was he re-elected.. idiots. i didnt vote for that douche.

[Crazayblasiangirl]

@blackstripes1 CUZ HE BLACK. WHO WANTS A WHITE MAYOR THERE???

[blackstripes1]

@Crazayblasiangirl shut up. don't bring that race card crap here. a horrible mayor black, white, asian, WHATEVER, is STILL a horrible mayor. thanks.

[Crazayblasiangirl]

@blackstripes1 "shut up?" wtf? I was QUIET before (and STLL quiet haha) I read this comment! And I KNOW that race does NOT matter! I am NOT racist or pulling the "race card!" The reason why I said what I said is b/c New Orleans is predominately BLACK, & I think blacks there would be more comfortable with a BLACK mayor! What's racist about that? Thanks! ;)

[cogicman2009]

@blackstripes1 YOU BETTA SAY IT

[TinkNoles]

Damn Bush for not MAKING Louisiana accept federal aid (even though that would be unconstitutional), not preparing Louisiana for a hurricane even though the state was aware of how many of its citizens lived below sea level, controlling the minds of looters and murderers, and DAMN Bush for pointing the hurricane in their direction so that it could affect African American and lower class masses. By the way, I wonder if anyone who was pointing the camera in the victims' faces died of hydration.

[paulbunions]

Don't forget DAMN Bush for blowing up those levees

[Greenandscaly]

We allowed this to happen. We put Bush in office. We KNEW he didn't care about the poor and the middle class. You see the results. Harry CONNICK JR. - a MUSICIAN - took control of the situation. Why? Because he CARES about New Orleans. Bush didn't give a DAMN!

[spinoza1111]

I had no money when I was writing my book for Apress and I traveled by bus to the Microsoft Author's Conference. On that bus, I was subject to something of the treatment these people are getting in this video.

My seat mate and I were nearly arrested in Fargo merely for talking back to the bus driver who wouldn't let us sleep during a rest stop because the bus needed to be "cleaned".

White people can get treated this way when they have no money. Perhaps they should be. It's an education.

[spinoza1111]

You white computer programmers defending Bush need to realize that when push comes to shove you are worthless too. In your own long term self-interest, show some compassion and understanding, and GET ANGRY AT WHAT HAPPENED HERE.

It's RACIST to say that Ray Nagin's cowardly behavior had anything to do with the helpers who ran NOPD roadblocks to help people. Nagin, Chertoff, and Bush were bad guys. Blanco did her best. Michael Brown was a jerk but he tried. Zumbado is a HERO.

Judgement day.

[spinoza1111]

We had fed the heart on fantasies,

The heart's grown brutal from the fare;

More substance in our enmities

Than in our love; O honey-bees,

Come build in the empty house of the stare.

[spinoza1111]

Case you were wondering, I'm talking about the empty stare of the Republican assholes in clean white shirts that made this mess, and that of Ray Nagin, a corporate sellout asshole who holed up in a hotel when this shit was happening. Governor Blanco begged Bush for help and got shit.

Chertoff should be fired and imprisoned.

The poem is by William Butler Yeats.

[dcfan504]

fuck the government fuck bush and blanco

lets let bush fight the war and then survive after a hurricane with no help

[95milkbone]

I will never forget those days ;( VERY SAD !

[cleftronix]

Your right, how can the USA let this happen, brigging in all those African refugees and immigrants?

[dcfan504]

shut the fuck up you fuckin prick

[tokey111]

man that was massed up i wAS THERE I LIVE THRUGHT THAT AND I STILL CANT BELIVE WHAT HAPPEN

[sashanina123]

This is the country that we live in, I can't belive the USA let this happen.

[sashanina123]

This is the country that we live in, I can't belive the USA let this happen.

[dagrynch]

Bush represents rich corporations not the american people.

There is no money in helping these people.

So Bush said "fuck those people"

[aitraining]

I guess the black mayor and democratic mayor said "fuck those people" too. They are the idiots who crammed these people into the Astrodome instead of evacuating everyone out of the city beforehand - ya know? before the actual hurricane when it wasn't too late?

[seamusdog420]

apparently we are done wiping the asses of ppl who wont contribute..this proves it stand up and take care of yourselves and stop depending on the gov

[erkekler]

In the face of a natural disaster...when homes and the entire city is destroyed???!!...People cannot stand up for yourself with nothing??!! I do not think so ...... it is the role of the government to provide relief in disaster scenarios. The failure to do so was the consequence of the extreme right ideology and class-ism. Apparently there is no place for compassion in your world-view.

[seamusdog420]

my compassion was worn raw years ago along with our collective welfare asshole...worn out by the abuse of innercity ppl who demeand entitlement :) have a nice day!!!

[blackstripes1]

completely agreed.

[quaneshawalker]

@seamusdog420 WHAT DO YOU MEAN? PLEASE TELL ME HOW WE WAS SUPPOSE TO STAND UP AND TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES IN THIS SITUATION. PEOPLE CAN SAY

WHAT WE SHOULD OF DID BUT IT'S ALOT DIFFERENT WHEN YOU BEEN THROUGH IT. IT WASN'T ABOUT DEPENDING ON THE

GOVERMENT IT WAS ABOUT WHAT WAS OWED TO US. WHAT WAS PROMISE TO US,AND WHAT FUNDS THAT THE GOVERMENT HAD FOR THIS TYPE OF SITUATION. PLEASR TELL ME HOW WE WAS GONE TO TAKE CARE

OURSELVES IN 20FT OF WATER

[quaneshawalker]

@seamusdog420 WHAT DO YOU MEAN? PLEASE TELL ME HOW WE WAS SUPPOSE TO STAND UP AND TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES IN THIS SITUATION. PEOPLE CAN SAY

OURSELVES IN 20FT OF WATER AND WHO IS WE

[erkekler]

What an utter and complete disgrace.

The clearest demonstration of the extreme right wing ideology in action....total neglect of the public sector equals zero importance attached to the lives of the poor and working class.

This was the beginning of the end for Bush & Co. because the majority of the population became more savvy after this catastrophe.

[aitraining]

Right. Blame the federal gov't and evil but not the clueless democratic mayor and dip shit governor who actually ordered these people to these centers instead if bussing them out of town - like they should have. But, why listen to truth when you can just blame Bush? It's the lefty way.

[dhfdhdfjhdjh]

how could we let this happen? oh, i am so sorry for those people.

[jlyonne]

thanks for posting. i was there and there weren't hundreds at the center. there were many thousands. nearly 25,000 by the end of the week

[vizion23]

I was there, too and you're right, 20,000 - 25,000 people. It wasn't about race or class, it was about the government forcing people in there (in my case at gunpoint by the NOPD)and leaving them to die. We banded together and did what we needed to do to survive. Thank you for telling truth, my friend.

[fuzmiq]

And people blame it on them. Shame.

[ttjoslin]

Dear God - help us if this is the way we treat each other during such a tragic event! America is supposed to stand for so much more than that!
