Got this from a friend of mine in NC:
I do not know where this originated, it was forwarded to me this afternoon.
However, I heard today of a relative of some people here in Fairfield who
lives in Houston and went to volunteer over the weekend at the Astrodome.
He was helping serve food and received this same reaction! c

SO I VOLUNTEERED.......... Current mood: disappointed
I thought I might inform the few friends I have on my recent traumatic
experience. I am going to tell it straight, blunt, raw, and I don't give a
damn. Long read, I know but please do read!!!
I went to volunteer on Saturday at the George R. Brown convention for two
reasons.
A: I wanted to help people to get a warm fuzzy.
B: Curiosity.
I've been watching the news lately and have seen scenes that have made me
want to throw up. And no it wasn't dead bodies, the city under water, or
the sludge everywhere. It was PEOPLE"S BEHAVIOR. The people on T.V. (99%
being Black) where DEMANDING help. They were not asking nicely but
demanding as if society owed these people something. Well the honest truth
is WE DON'T. Help should be asked for in a kind manner and then
appreciated. This is not what the press (FOX in particular) was showing,
what I was seeing was a group of people who are yelling, demanding,
looting, killing, raping, and SHOOTING back at the demanded help!!!!! So
I'm thinking this can't possibly be true can it???? So I decide to submit
to the DEMAND for help out of SHOCK. I couldn't believe this to be true of
the majority of the people who are the weakest of society. So I went to
volunteer and help folks out and see the truth. So I will tell the
following story and you decide:
I arrived at the astrodome only to find out that there are too many
volunteers and that volunteers where needed at the George R. Brown
Convention Center. As I was w! Talking up to the Convention Center I
noticed a line of cars that wrapped around blocks filled with donations.
These where ordinary Houstonians coming with truckloads and trunks full of
water, diapers, clothes, blankets, food, all types of good stuff. And lots
of it was NEW. I felt that warm fuzzy while helping unload these vehicles
of these wonderful human beings. I then went inside the building and
noticed approximately 100,000 sq. ft. of clothes, shoes, jackets, toys and
all types of goodies all organized and ready for the people in need. I
signed up, received a name badge and was on my merry way excited to be
useful.
I toured the place to get familiar with my surrounding; the entire place is
probably around 2 million sq. ft. I noticed rows as far as the eye can see
of mattresses, not cots, BLOW UP MATTRESSES!!! All of which had nice
pillows and plenty of blankets. 2 to 3 bottles of water lay on every bed.
These full size to queen size beds by the way where comfortable, I laid
on one to see for myself. I went to look at the medical area. I couldn't
believe what my eyes were seeing!!! A makeshift hospital created in 24
hours!!! It was unbelievable, they even had a pharmacy. I also noticed that
they created showers, which would also have hot water. I went upstairs to
the third floor to find a HUGE cafeteria created in under 24 hours! Rows of
tables, chairs and food everywhere - enough to feed an army! I'm not
talking about crap food either. They had Jason's deli food, apples,
oranges, coke, diet coke, lemonade, orange juice, cookies, all types of
chips and sandwiches! All the beverages by the way was put on ice and
chilled!!!! In a matter of about 24 hours or less an entire mini-city was
erected by volunteers for the poor evacuees. This was not your rundown crap
shelter, it was BUM HEAVEN.
So that was the layout: great food, comfy beds, clean showers, free medical
help, by the way there was a library, and a theatre room I forgot to
mention. Great stuff right????
Well here is what happened on my journey -
I started by handing out COLD water bottles to evacuees as they got off the
bus. Many would take them and only 20% or less said thank you. Lots of them
would shake their heads and ask for sodas! So this went on for about 20-30
minutes until I was sick of being an unappreciated servant. I figured
certainly these folks would appreciate some food!!! So I went upstairs to
serve these beloved evacuees some GOOD food that I wish I could have at the
moment!
***The following statements are graphic, truthful, and discuss NATIONAL
behavior***
Evacuees come slowly to receive this mountain of food that is worth serving
to a king! I tell them that we have 2 types of great deli sandwiches to
choose from - ham and turkey. Many look at the food in disgust and DEMAND
burgers, pizza, and even McDonalds!!!! Jason's deli is better than
McDonalds!!!! Only 1 out of ten people who took something would say "thank
you! " the rest took items as if it was their God given right to be served
without a shred of appreciation!!! They would ask for Beer and liquor. They
complained that we didn't have good enough food. They refused food and
laughed at us. They treated us volunteers as if we were SLAVES. No not all
of them of course, but 70% did!!!!!! 20% where appreciative, 10% took the
food without any comment and the other 70% had some disgusting comment to
say. Some had the nerve to laugh at us. And when I snapped back at them for
being mean, they would curse at me!!! Needless to say I was in utter shock.
They would eat their food and leave their mess on the table. Some would
pick up their stuff many would leave it for the volunteers to pick up. I
left that real quickly to go down and help set up some more beds. I saw many
young ladies carrying mattresses and I helped for a while. Then I realized
something, their where hundreds of able bodied young men who could help!! I
asked a group of young evacuees in their teens and early twenties to help.
I got cursed at for asking them to help!!! One said "We just lost our
homes and you want us to work!!" The next said "Ya Cracker, you got a home
we don't" I looked at them in disbelief. Here are women walking by carrying
THEIR BEDS and they can't lift a finger and help themselves!!
WHY SHOULD I HELP PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TO HELP THEMSELVES!!!!
I waved them off and turned away and was laughed at and more "white boy
jokes" where made at me. I felt no need to waste my breath on a bunch of
pitiful losers. I went to a nearby rest-room where I noticed a man shaving.
I used the rest-room, washed my hands and saw this man throw his razor
towards the trash can...he missed. He walked out leaving his disgusting
razor on the floor for some other "cracker" to pick up. Even the little
kids where demanding. I saw only ONE white family and only TWO Hispanic
families. The rest where blacks, sorry 20% to
30% decent blacks and 70% LOSERS!!!!!
I would call them ***, but the actual definition of a **** is one who is
ignorant, these people were not ignorant. They are ARROGANT the majority
of which are thugs and lifetime lazy welfare recipients. We are inviting
the lowest of the low to Houston. And like idiots we are serving the people
who will soon steal our cars, rape, murder, and destroy our city while
stealing from our pockets on a daily basis through the welfare checks they
take. We will fund our own destruction.
By "US" I don't mean a specific race, I mean the people who work hard, work
smart, have values and morals. Only people who want to help themselves
should be helped, the others should be allowed to destroy themselves. I do
not want to work hard, give the government close to half the money I earn
so they can in turn give it to a bunch of losers.
I don't believe in being poor for life. My family immigrated here, we came
here poor, and now thank God, and due to HARD WORK we are doing fine. If
immigrants, who come here, don't know the language can work and become
successful... WHY CAN'T THE MAJORITY OF THE HOMEGROWN DO IT!!! If we
continue to reward these losers then we will soon destroy our great
country. I just witnessed selfish, arrogant, unappreciative behavior by the
very people who need help the most. Now these same people who cursed me,
refused my cities generosity, who refuse to help themselves are DEMANDING
handouts on their own terms!!!!!!! They prance around as if they are owed
something, and when they do receive a handout, they say it's not good
enough!
Bill Cosby's Speech
Bill Cosby addressed one of the black organizations and this speech wasn't received too well. The focus was on Jessie Jackson who was on stage and standing behind Cosby as he was talking. The commentator seemed to think that Jessie didn't like what he was hearing. The media never aired the speech and little was said about it. I wonder why.
We Can't Blame White People
--written by BILL COSBY
They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English. I can't even talk the way these people talk: 'Why you ain't,' 'Where you is', What he drive, Where he stay, Where he work, Who you be.........
And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk. And then I heard the father talk. Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth. In fact you will never get any kind of job making a decent living.
People marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an education, and now we've got these knuckleheads walking around. The lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal.
These people are not parenting. They are buying things for kids. $500 sneakers for what? And they won't spend $200 for Hooked on Phonics. I am talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit. Where were you when he was 2? Where were you when he was 12? Where were you when he was 18 and how come you didn't know that he had a pistol? And where is the father? Or who is his father?
People putting their clothes on backward: Isn't that a sign of something gone wrong? People with their hats on backward, pants down around the crack, isn't that a sign of something? Or are you waiting for Jesus to pull his pants up?
Isn't it a sign of something when she has her dress all the way up and got all type of needles [piercing] going through her body? What part of Africa did this come from? We are not Africans. Those people are not Africans; they don't know a thing about Africa. With names like Shaniqua, Taliqua and Mohammed and all of that crap, and all of them are in jail.
Brown or black versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person's problem. We have got to take the neighborhood back.
People used to be ashamed... [Today] a woman has eight children with eight different 'husbands' -- or men or whatever you call them now. We have millionaire football players who cannot read. We have million-dollar basketball players who can't write two paragraphs. We as black folks have to do a better job. Someone working at Wal-Mart with seven kids, you are hurting us. We have to start holding each other to a higher standard.
We cannot blame the white people any longer.
JESSIE JACKSON AT SEARS
The Reverend Jesse Jackson was holding a press conference in the appliance department of a Sears store in Chicago. He was there to protest the fact that all the washing machines were white.
So the clerk called the store manager, who asked, "What's the problem here, Reverend?" Jesse pointed at the machines and loudly bemoaned the fact that all of them were white.
The manager replied, "Well, Reverend, it's true that all the washing machines are white, but if you'll open the lids, you'll see that all the agitators are black."
Anyway, I don't see what the guys problem was with the ppl not saying "thank you", he's asking a little too much there. Though I would be pissed if people I was helping were treating me like shit and saying racists comments. He should've just stopped helping and went on home, that dumbass.
