You didn't interview real people! You interviewed people who were waiting for somone else to do it for them, but were crying because the free ride wasn't fast enough! This video is disgusting on all sides: The people interviewed, The people doing the interviewing, and some of the comments!

I've never been so collectively disgusted by my race as I was after visiting Galveston after the hurricane. after composing several more responses to "EvangelineSO80" but deleting them... all I can say is that I'm glad you live there with the other self important racist paranoid White fks. It's a shame all those NICE black people have to share their island with you transients but whatcha gonna do.

While your at it interview the Mayor and ask her why city employees where cleaning up broken glass, pulling up wet carpet, and patching a window in her private home the day after the hurricane. Start with the real issue. A corrupt and morally bankrupt city admin. Ask her house she threw her employees out of the San Luis hotel when she was done with them with a one day advanced notice. Most had no home to go to. Unlike other people we worked before, during, and after the storm.

I would have like to get to ask these questions but I was too busy trying not to get shoot or arrested for walking down the street with a camera.

I hardly find these people random americans, there is nothing random about these people you choose to interview. I feel that you choose the most ignorant indiviuals you could find in the poorest welfare driven parts of the island and solely focused on them. This is offivious when one of the people you interviewed described advised he couldn't wait for fema so went out an got a job.

because white folks like you wanted me arrested or shot for being there. FU.

You are the biggest racist, classist, asshollist mfkr I've run across for a long time. Maybe you are the wife of the asshole who threatened to shoot me or have me arrested for spending to long in the white part of town, huh? Are Ya? I was going to delete your drival but it is better for everyone to see just what kind entitled bigot fks live there.

We didnt have to time to find housing. One person you interviewed had a home but gas. Well at least she had a home. Most of us had no home to go to but were used by the city and its citizens and in our time of need where thrown out of the only dry place we had to sleep with no where to go and no one who cared with usually less than 12 hours to find a new place to stay because we had to go back to work again to keep the ignorant people you interviewed safe from each other!

[EvangelineSO80]

So plan "A" was government assistance and plan "B" was to work for a living. You exposed the under belly of galveston citizens for the average everyday citizen made the island look like a band of welfare and fema hungry fools. You want to get the real story interview people that work for a living and lost everything they had.

[EvangelineSO80]

I honestly can say that this video left me in shock. I don't really know whether I'm embarassed because I live here, sad that someone would choose to interview these people on purpose, or sicken by some of the comments left on this video. Oh and by the way I was not born on the Island. I love the way you labeled these people random americans.
