Welcome to New Orleans 7 of 12 - Vigilantes & Complications

***In order to view this film in its entirety, please visit video.google.com***
"Welcome to New Orleans" is a 58 minute documentary about the city of New Orleans during the first year after Katrina. This film depicts the violence and racism in the impoverished American South. This is a story about the bottom-side of United States--a society that has been left to fend for itself. But more importantly, this film is about hope, in the face of overwhelming adversity.
"Welcome to New Orleans" depicts the ravaged city through the eyes of Malik Rahim, a 58-year-old former member of the Black Panthers, who stayed during and after Hurricane Katrina, in order to help residents. He has become a local hero, as he has built up his grassroots organization, Common Ground Collective, over the past two years. Common Ground has served over 170,000 residents with the help of over 12,000 volunteers, who have traveled from all 50 states and 40 different countries.
But there is still plenty of work to be done. To find out more information, or to make a donation, please visit our site, www.commongroundrelief.org. Thank you.

STRANGE HOW THE BLACKS ARE HELPING THE COMMUNITY WITH HEALTH AND FOOD AND THE WHITES ARE STOCK PILING WEAPONS. MORE ACCURATE IMAGES.



[newfish09]

@AnduinX they confiscated firearms, that would not be the top of my list instead of food and emergency supplies

[90rashad]

people organized a clinic. The people didn't want to help those in need in the black community, soon as they seen them doing well for themselves they told them to close it down. White people started racism, and it the reason why it will never end. Malik Rahim you are my hero.

NOPD worthless, i would trust a national guardsman over a NOPD

[67DieHardPatriot454]

everyone deems them racist because they weren't going to allow scum to steal and do whatever they wanted to them and there friends. If you call that racist you should wake the fuck up from your sheep nap. Fucking people these days. What do you think people that rob and steal and burglarize houses when cops ARE around are going to do when cops AREN'T around. a fucking crime spree where anything goes. If they gotta kill you dont matter no cops. So people had to protect themselves bottom line.

[GooglFascists]

Of course the damned cops don't do sh*t to HELP anyone,

but sure as hell show up to HINDER THE RELIEF WORK.

Good for NOTHINGS!

The Gov't didn't WANT any HELP for those people, they

just want them GONE. DESPICABLE PIGS!
