[mengele800]

You're confused because you're a fucking idiot who just doesn't get the point! Post-Katrina New Orleans needs a serious restoration of it's infrastructure and jobs for the community, not celebrity-sponsored ''Art Projects.'' How the hell does that improve the living conditions in the 9th Ward.

[wholelottaled231]

celebrity sponsored art projects draw attention to how much help the city needs.

one of our citys biggest problems in areas like the 9th ward is that it is largely uninhabited. who wants to reconstruct an area with no people in it?

having celebrities move to such areas and sponsor art exhibits convinces others to populate them as well.

[weeds121980]

stop killing each other wtf!!! there is no shame just blame somebony else.

[Peachis911]

omg that old lady was killed by the police?

[swans0n]

Mike, I agree stopping murder deserves more focus than art. But don't look too long at the dark, you'll forget how to recognize the light. Pitt's project is not about art, the ultimate goal was to get national attention. Pitt got nationwide audiences on all news channel to hear a message of helping nola.

How much natl news have you made to help nola?

[cwilliam24]

Damn you Brad Pitt!!! You are ruining our city with your wacky art project in the 9th ward. This is completely related to all the violence in New Orleans. This guy is an amazing journalist. He's really getting to the root of our city's problems. We need to find a way to stop Brad Pitt before it's too late and his crazy ideas destroy us all. The 9th ward doesn't need any help. It was doing just fine.  Dr. Mike Weaver is our savior

[TifNieB]

I feel sadden 4 all the people dat were murdered in all cities. I respect Bradd 4 fxing up MY city and MY area. Its good art. murder happens because others have nothing to look foward to so they taking others hopes away. I say if Brad wants to ART then Let my city be a canvas. DA president not trying as hard. I know there are other issues in the world that needs taking care of but, DAMN!

I LOVE MY CITY! Big ups to PRIEUR ST my old residence! was shot in this photage

[MsMerising]

What a vague, messy video. How does Brad Pitt's money spent building homes in N.O. correlate with Urban violence?

This guy does not have a career in journalism. Lack of clear direction, lack of presence on presenting ideas.

[Tatjana86]

I don't really see, Dr. Weaver, why you are criticising Brad Pitt's project. To me it looks like you didn't quite get the point, why these pink structures have been built. The pink elements are not an end in themselves, but a fundraising tool for 150 homes for people with low income that have been made possible by Pitt's project.

[expert1221]

Yet another person complaining about the lack of free hand outs. Instead of making this stupid video, why don't you pick up a hammer and build a home or join the police force to stop your own crime?? Remember, you re-elected the useless "Bling-Bling" Mayor.

[kandi504]

U must be white and ignorant. why don't u help ass-hole. that's why new orleans can't rebuild because of ignorant assholes as yourself.....SAAAAAAAAD

[VeniceBound]

Brad Pitt:

Spend your money elsewhere!! They don't want your help. Just donate more crack and bullets.

This is a prime example of someone white trying to help the blacks. If Oprah did this she would be a hero

[stuffdaddy24]

Quit living in the past do somthing about your people that is happening now don"t pass the buck get active in your community this does not happen in other nieghborhood most of you protect them just because there black

[haletownhill]

Trying to figure out what happened?

This is African "culture". It "happens" wherever African congregate in large numbers.

Next question?

[Homegirl1982]

Oh, righhhhht. This clearly explains white Nazi Germany and the Holocaust.

You're such a genius.

[haletownhill]

Trying to figure out what happened?

The answer is simple. This is African "culture". It is found wherever Africans congregate in large numbers.

Next question?

[kandi504]

What do you call whites who congregate in large numbers? I'll answer, ASSHOLES pig slopping assholes.. Hee Haw

[babyboomerbev]

What art project? Did my 14-month-old participate in that?

[ngonea]

Thank You Dr. Mike, what you are doing is extremly important. We are not going to see this on Tel-Lie-Vision, as we know.. You remind me of the work Ida B. Wells! Urban warfare by the Nazi police is what is going on.
