HANO to demolish New Orleans Public Housing

Residents beg the government to not destroy their homes. HAHO and HUD is intent on destroying over 1000 people's homes. I don't know why. This story makes me very sad and angry. Please do something about it.

Why in the hell does this have a tag under genocide?! Last time I checked, there was no ethnic cleansing involved. The federal government did not round up everyone who lived in the projects then kill them all. I understand it was the ghetto but the gestapo was no picking up tuckloads of people & sending them to concentration camps.

Genocide is a result, not an action. Carting people off in state busses, or carting people off in cattle cars is not in itself an act of Genocide. The question is where are are they now? How many have died?

Generationally, what is happening to African-American population? Last time I checked, the percentage of the population now stands at 15%. What was the percentage in 1928?

There was an under the radar report about vigilantes murdering & shooting black residents of New Orleans after the flood. It is on video, perhaps here on YT. The toothless backwoods beasts were bragging about it like they were hunting for sport. There is also a report which I do not know was substantiated or not, that there were 5,000 killed, murdered after Katrina as well. You will have to search that one out.

it's all true. I heard a report that the Port Street fire was set to destroy evidence.

The reason that you (and I) feel ignorant about this is because all of the main stream media in this country is owned by corporations that are doing everything they can to keep us ignorant!

But now that we know, what are we going to do about it?

[jerdon43]

Go to school, get a job and you wont have to live on the government!

@christinmaria makes sense they are still their homes. I never seen such a fuck up at the handling of New Orleans and this is a bigger joke. Think if the boot was on the other foot, you would do the same. And If it was your house paying taxes or not, If they can make money they will and wont care on shitting on you to do it. Its crazy, you dont have to agree, but it is wrong.

[Padgeify]

@christinmaria Think about man you live in a house and you are evacuated form an area tha\t is devastated your fortunate to still have a home, but when you return the government has decided to evict you and then demolish a building that survives a hurricane. To privatize the housing sector and make money, money for construction and money from the extortionate fees these unregulated companies can and will charge to make money from a fucking disaster. Your government gave them homes so it

[christinmaria]

Am I wrong or are these people demanding that the govt continue to provide free housing to them? Is this not an attitude of entitlement? What's wrong with them going to work and paying for their own housing? I don't see anywhere in the constitution that citizens be provided free housing. These people don't own this property! Of course they didn't want it torn down, it was an enabler for them to sit on their front stoop all day at the tax payers expense. Very disheartening.

[TGRTE]

the reason why the tore the projects down was because they were the worst projects in america. record breakin homicide rates, dope fiends and cracc heads dyin in hallways, kids with no guidance and did i mention murders??the magnolia was the worst in place to live in america in the early 90's, had more murders in 94 than some cities have all year. real shit.

This sounds a lot like what is going on in Cedar Rapids, Iowa where the city coerced people into taking buyouts in the core neighborhoods. I am moved by the dedication of the people here. As a disaster victim I who has been threatened with eminent domain in a "presidential declared disaster zone" in an 'voluntary acquisition' and an AMERICAN I am OFFENDED by the POWER the federal government gives to cities who only have their eye on taking homes for their own gain. The world is watching.

They want to build apartment complexes and force people to pay rent of 800-1200 a month. The city was built to keep the blacks in projects and rely on government assistance. To keep them out their communities to let them self destruct. They were the eye sore of the city of New Orleans. Yes there was and is alot of riff raff but there were alot of good people in the city who worked and provided for their families and was denied back into homes they owned. It's a ShAME! Some things never change!

[YAHWEHisperfect]

let people live in tent...

do u still allow sodomy parades in new orleans... that is a much bigger problem for that city....
