Flood prevention efforts continue in Cedar Rapids, Iowa

[sibzianna]

Update: We haven't received much help. This is nothing like Katrina-it gets cold here. We had two bad winters and a flood. Our streets are horrible and thousands of homes are untouched because there isn't any money to fix it.

How did a flood start off a racial debate? Do, for instance, Native Americans have a higher rate of natural disasters happen? If you live in a financially depressed area where these levees are, then, why are you still there? Do you enjoy potential disaster? I am going to go work in Iowa to help with the flooding relief. Simple Arithematic, no heroics. No work in Arizon, lots of work in Iowa. Simple.

Good point. No young men robbing, raping & burning the women of Cedar Rapids. I am sure if New Orleans flood again, all the black males will just rape & kill.

WHERE IS MY OTHER 2 MESSAGES AT

[dednigggerstorage]

I heard 130,000 people in IOWA were without homes. You know what you are not seeing? Rioting, Murder, Rape, and Looting. Cuz people in IOWA are not nigger animals like the shit skin monkeys in New Orleans! They are humans and show it. People in Iowa aren't burdens on our taxes like niggers. They handle this tragedy like normal people.

[PaulyCracker]

While we aren't seeing ANY of this, most people around here also don't say the N word about anybody because of respect. Perhaps the next thing people should learn?

I grew up in Shellsburg Iowa and I now live in Mobile, Alabama. And I hope you don't come from Iowa, and I hope even more that you don't ever show your face down South. You don't know what you're talking about. Yes, this flood is devasting. My brother, who lives in Czech Village, has completely lost his home. But it is NOTHING like Katrina. This flood is a cake walk compared to Katrina. I pray no more damage comes to CR. I hope you never have to experience something like those people did.
