Will American Ghettos Errupt in the Wake of the Katrina Massacre?? |
|
They should. I came from the era when they did. It's going to take the poor and minorities to start burning this country down again in order to wake up the blind and the greedy. It is now, literally, their survival because they can see from the NO images that they are not even counted as humans anymore in this country and they need to re-establish that fact once more. This country didn't develp a social conscience until the Blacks marched. Looks like the minority community is our last hope to wake this nation up to the unholy slime we have allowed into power. We need their leadership..again.

1. Marching maybe, burning,no. |
|
They well remember what happened the last time they burned their own neighborhoods down; rebuilding and reinvestment was a looooooooong time coming back to the area. Be careful what you ask for, you might get it.

3. i fear that may be what the administration wants |
|
the delayed reaction & callousness deliberately dealt to incite anger & frustration...
if any violence erupts in the wake, it "justifies" military presence on the ground in inner cities...
this is getting uglier by the minute... i fear anger may be the one thing that the administration wants... they are calculating, cunning people... i don't put anything past them

5. We are way too tired to March alone or LEAD alone |

We really don't want our communities destroyed even one time by riots.
If the White Communities want to riot, in their own neighbors, that is up to them but not us.
We did NOT get the attention of anyone with the riots! We ruined our neighborhoods and got NOTHING but bad luck and trouble.
That is NOT the answer.

6. Do you think the "Minutemen" would like that? |
|
A call to go on a national black people hunt. They could not ask for anything more.

7. I honestly think that this is what their intention is. |
|
Given the events of last week, my only conclusion is that the Cabal wants/needs a domestic insurgency in order to justify the suspension of even the charade of constitutional government and move to rule by decree/martial law.
I realize that I am being paranoid and that my tin foil hat is on full square. I cannot produce a shred of evidence other than the otherwise inexplicable week we just experienced.

11. We need to follow the Ukranian model. |
|
Ghandi and King must be our guides. Any other path will lead to blood and carnage that will make NOLA look like a mild diversion.
Even so I think that we will suffer hideously before we persevere. The Cabal has demonstrated its willingness to kill and kill by the tens of thousands. They will not hesitiate to kill us, to provoke us, to slaughter us. Our only hope is that we in turn can convince the good people of this country who volunteer to serve in the military to stand with us, to refuse to obey, to end this nightmare.
I am an atheist but I say with all sincerity, god save us all from what lies ahead.

12. If you think it will take that type of civil unrest, why don't YOU |
|
get out there, march and burn down your own neighborhood rather than advocate for "minorities and the poor" to burn down theirs?
It's not totally the responsibility of the oppressed to fight for social justice.
We ALL have a duty to stand up and fight!
