  • WHO SING THIS SONG

  • tracy chapman, isn't it powerful?

    next time will credit.

    thanks for asking.

  • lol my last name is chapman :P

  • I think it's a lot more complicated than anyone has yet portrayed in these responses. The situation in New Orleans and in the US spans over huge complex budgets and sociological obstacles that cannot and will not be fixed in a short period of time. Idiots like "tubiespare" should educate themselves and travel to places like new orleans and attempt to exercise something called compassion.

  • if you knew anything about new orleans you would know that there not many jobs available out here. yes i have a job and i havnt begged for anything but its still hard.you try loosing all your stiff overnight i bet you will be begging for somewhere to stay and some clean clothes. i dont care what job you have if you loose all your stuff its gonna be hard to get back to normal .i am a living witness

  • thats some real talk right here

  • disgraceful the way the USA treats their children.

  • You see I hate when the good people have to suffer behind the negative images caused by the petty thugs and criminals.

  • Honestly there is enough money to help these people these CHILDREN...sometimes people need to have a bit more compassion and realize help is not a bad thing to ask....WHAT IF IT WAS U AND YOUR CHILDREN IN THIS SITUATION?

  • To bad they have to spend so much on the massive crime rate! They could spend the money improving lives!

  • LA had all sorts of help even after people began shooting at it.

  • I'm even more fed up with ignorant liberals blaming everything on Bush. How MANY years did LA neglect what needed to be done? Did those levees 'suddenly' become a problem in 2000? What role did liberal activist environmentalists play? It's YOUR bed. YOU made it. Dems are crybabies, pointing fingers at the first sign of trouble and blaming anybody else. Fl, TX, CA, KS, OK all handle their problems with little help. There are too many grateful people in need. That's your image, get a clue.

  • You don't hear ANYTHING from MS. The media isn't covering it. Come look at the slabs where homes once stood in MS and tell me they are happy, happy, happy. But keep deserting YOUR fellow citizens eqqinanest. Just admit it to yourself.

  • 1st 1/2 of post...How many years did the city & STATE know about the levies? You elect Dem CROOKS like Bill Jefferson and should be grateful the tax payers are even willing to allocate your city/state ANYTHING.

  • Do you mean the FEDERAL levees and floodwall? Do you know since the storm local government has TRIED to fix levees because the feds were ignoring them, and they were told by the Corps od Engineers they would be arrested if they got near the levees. But keep living in your bubble where you think Americans are sitting on their butts waiting for help.

  • We made arrangements for a family of 6 to live in a home fully stocked and furnished by donations. They could have lived there until ready to return and taken everything with them (clothes, toys, appliances, furniture, etc) but changed their minds at the last minute because our winters are cold. Whatever....

  • And for that you want to desert an entire region of the country?

  • I don't want to desert anyone. I'm just sick of people 'demanding' my tax dollars and my help. I'm also tired of every blue county in this country expecting they deserve more and bad-mouthing people who don't comply in a timely fashion. I've had enough of ignorant voters electing crooked politicians and then expecting the rest of us to bail them out of the results they got. I'm not the only one either. I'm just not afraid to say it.

  • I think it is more than sad that Americans suffering would have to beg for help from their own country. I would have thought the help would come without even asking. Foolish me to believe in my country. I know better now.

  • These people need to ask Mayor Nagin where the $127 BILLION dollars of Federal aid has gone. Then they need to quit voting Democrat.

  • I find it interesting that democrats want more federal involvement, yet it is the federal government that keeps failing these people with FEMA, levies etc.

  • Facts: $116 billion for the Gulf Coast, $75 billion of it was for immediate post-storm relief. Thus only 35% of the total federal dollars allocated is for actual recovery and reconstruction. And of this,only 42% has actually been spent, ($14.6 billion). This amount is a mere 12% of the entire federal allocation Contrast that to the $20.9 billion spent on Iraq infrastucture. (42% more than spent in the Gulf South.)

  • instead of using the money to rebuild, they had to spend the money on crime!

  • How come they have money for wars but can't feed the poor?-Tupac Shakur

  • They also had to spend money convicting criminals like Tupac Shakur! imagine how much money we could save if there wasnt so many criminals like Tupac. It cost this country a fortune fighting criminals and supporting them in prison. Too bad these criminals wouldnt just get a job instead of waisting my tax dollars commiting crime!

  • The United States is way ahead of the rest of the industrial world in imprisoning its own population. That's for population control. None of that has anything to do with crime. "

    Noam Chomsky, American linguist and US media and foreign policy critic

  • That is the biggest copout I have ever heard! The US is being overrun with crime,That's why we have to have so many prisons! I suppose you think all those prisoners sould be out on the street? They are all inocent! It wasnt them who raped and killled, it wasnt them who used a gun to commit a crime, IT'S A CONSPIRACY to control the population! BULLSHIT! It doesnt control the population! They are still part of the population! It's not like they arent still in the US! Noam is a moron!
