The Truth About New Orleans in 2008

[ExaltedCyclops2]

That place looks like a standard niggertown. All nigger ghettos look like a hurricane went through them. Look at what the niggers did to Detroit.

[MJKiddyKiddyBangBang]

Everybody knew this would happen. It wasn't about if it would happen, but when. The when happened, and now people know it is fruitless to build in a cereal bowl!

[nospinhere]

The French Quarter never flooded. It is built on high land, just like Uptown, and any other area you would visit as a tourist. The tourist areas were unaffected. When the area was originally inhabited by settlers who knew topography, they knew where to settle. The areas that flooded due to levee failure, not the storm, were built upon by real estate developers who knew that one day that land would be jeopardized. The truth was never told on TV because they were visitors with no area knowledge.

THE TRUTH ABOUT HURRICANE KATRINA: /watch?v=3IKtUrDl7jU

[CajunLady05]

thank you I was a Hurricane Katrina Survivior North Robertson street in New Orleans.

[iyaoyasadk]

Did she know these people? I like how she can comment on their lives when she doesn't know anything about these people. She just wants to blame Bush.

[MJKiddyKiddyBangBang]

@iyaoyasadk I agree! How would you not know, this happened? Just making a buck on others bad fortune..

[treecowboy1100]

Oh really? Her last comment "We need more troops here than we need in Iraq". What would the troops do there? Patrol the streets and keep people safe? Confiscating people's legally owned arms like before? Continue violating Corpus Cristi? Great plan from a talking head.

[baaamism]

ha ha too bad all the niggers didn't die.

[MJKiddyKiddyBangBang]

@baaamism LOL!

[tayjay4]

hey i suggest u shut up! i live around 2 minutes from that exact spot were she is. i had lots of friends who lived there and went to my school and i no why most people didnt leave. i was 8 when it hit. i am 12 now. the anaversery is in 2 days and it a horrible reminder of wat happened. people who didnt leave WERENT STUPID!! THEY HAD NO WAY TO LEAVE!!! THE CITY THOUGHT THAT THEY HAD WAYS TOGET PEOPLE TO LEAVE BUT THEY RAN OUT OF BUSSES AND PUT PEOPLE IN THE SUPERDOME. JUST SHUT UP RUDE PEOPLE PLZ

[EdM021]

Tayjay4, you are absolutely correct! Our Mayor Into Ruin, C. Ray Stupidhead (Nagin) was supposed to get an evacuation plan in place (by his own city's planning) BEFORE Katrina, yet couldn't be bothered to have it implemented. This was compounded by the doltishness of Gov Blanco and the criminality of the Bush-Cheney regime. And when a white racist like me agrees with you, there is something SERIOUSLY WRONG with America!!!!!

[axelyo123]

truth is that most of those houses didn't even change much in looks after katrina...

[EdM021]

The change is that, they were made ABSOLUTELY UNINHABITABLE because of toxic mould. No Katrina = more Detroitification for New orleans. (Well, I HAVE to keep up my racist bonafides even though I'm a liberal!)

[doctorj2u]

Actually April 2008 was the first time I felt the city would survive as some form of itself. What you are looking at is GOOD compared to what New Olreanians experience for YEARS while the nation looked the other way. Anyway, thank you for the video because there is still much to be done and people needing help to come home.

[doctorj2u]

OMG, I hit a thumbs up by mistake for Fiot's comment.!  Subtract a +1 PLEASE!!!!!!

[desiafat]

New Orleans is experiencing the slowest clean up in the history of the US. Louisiana is one of the poorest states and Jindal is refusing bailout money, and I have not heard Obama talk about sending the special aid and manpower that the city needs. I know Obama has a billion things going on trying to keep the economy together. I hope once the country gets back on its feet he will turn his attention to New Orleans.

[EdM021]

Jindal is an idiot.

[MrFabregas1987]

@desiafat

Obama is NWO puppet.

So dont expect anything from him. His only task is New World Order.

[ghe00]

hell new orleans was told to leave they didnt so it there own damn falt and the houses y not move wow thats so hard

[pein374]

fuck you

[pein374]

oh ya just move ya why not think of something for people who dint just lose everything they had

[SRizzleFoShizzle]

You are ignorant. Jerk.

Most of them did not have enough money. Nor, did they have people to go to.

[astorastilbe]

some of them were poor and sick and couldn't move

:(

[Clevelandmarko]

Great Job on video. If you want to see more of this and other streets in the lower 9th , watch my video called Katrina 2 ½ years later on YouTube. IF you cant find it, punch up my name Marko Vovk. (Music Video Led Zep.)

[leadarling1980]

it's funny how people can speak on shit they really know nothing about... first off i'm from the 9th ward and i'm not a nigger... i was born and raised down there and my entire family are highly educated, working class get our own, have our type of people!! and she was in the marigny not ctc > cross the canal!!! this is foolishness... but funny how people won't say this shit to your face.. thanks but no thanks for your sorry's keep em'

[pein374]

[dodgedurango12345678]

im sorry the 9th ward waz just a place for niggers now u all think im a rascist no im not i like black ppl just not niggers and only niggers lived down there cuz niggers wont work they are all in gangs black ppl have jobs and such and work hard for a living i mean the niggers in the video shot a gun in the dam video thats how bad it is down there i drive down there one time and they threw a brick at me for being white

[pein374]

bull shit i go down there every weekend and there not all part of gangs most of them have jobs asshole

[aoknponte]

I was born in Italy and I left and never looked back, I think this place is worse for quite a number of good reasons, so take my advice and MOVE THE HELL OUT OF THERE AND THIS TIME,LEARN FROM REAL ESTATE: CHOOSE HIGHER FRIGGING GROUND, OK? and try to make other choices so that you don`t have to depend on anyone else for help because as you can see the chances are you might not get it, got it?

[DimeShae]

Bitch shut the fuck up and get a life

[MGkings]

Was that a gun shot? What time was the video shot? Sounded like a gun to me.

[iraqidolphin]

Compare this to the garden district! No playgrounds, no libraries, no schools, no community centres, no swimming pools, etc..

[TangoDivaOnline]

Yes, you are right and it is so sad and I just don't know what to do. You can check out Reconcile Cafe and donate.

thanks for your comment!

[dasmikey1964]

It's a shame that nearly 3 years after the storm hit, that there's so much that still needs to be done, that little or nothing has been done to help the people whose lives were destroyed by that storm. It is shameful and disgraceful that our government has shown such callous disregard for it's most vulnerable citizens, and just as much so for the media, who no longer have any interest in this sad story.
