For those who don't understand, Popeye's and CHurch's are both chain purveyors of fried chicken.

This is what I once told a retired, racial, state trooper from Alabama, who stopped talking to me after he found out my daugher was black/white. I told him to go to any library and find me a time in history when American's fled from America to go elsewhere to live; to find me a time in history when any other race went to a country, stole the people from their homes, brought them to a country where they were treated less than dogs; women and girls raped brutally while their husbands, or fathers, or brothers were forced to watch; where men and boys were auctioned off like cattle. I asked him how he would feel if I sent someone to his house to do this to him and his family. He couldn't or wouldn't answer me, he has not to this day gone to the library to do  any research. So until people can do some research about what they hate, they need to stop hating it. And, this retired, racial state trooped from Alabama started talking to me again after a few weeks. And his racial jokes all but stopped. He still can't help but tell a few, but they are not in the same tone as they were before. I feel I must also tell you I was born and raised in Louisiana, I am 42, white female taught to believe that niggers are niggers and feed the dogs better. When I joined the Army, I was brought to the realization that everything I was taught to believe about the black people I grew up with was a lie. I was so humilliated and sick of myself when i realized what i had been part of that I wanted to die, but was too scared to die because how could I stand in front of God on judgement day? Anyway, I am glad to know that what I was taught was not the truth. Anyone seeking the truth should go do some research at any library. Its free. Be you any color of skin.

I was at work, watching the Today show with Matt Lauer and Katie Couric.....I was stunned when I saw what happened.  It was chaotic, our office shut down and we were told to go home.  The courts closed and everyone went home in a frenzy and this was in Miami.

That's a dumb b.... It makes you really wonder about the current state of our educational system. I like how she says there's evidence that supports Christianity. I hate to tell her, but the bible is not rock-solid.

God (of the Christians) is judging the muslims (and hindus in India) for persecuting Christians and interfering with missionaries.\n\nAs for Katrina, God is judging president Bush for his lackluster support for Israel and for the Gaza withdrawal. \n"And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed." (Genesis 12:3 KJV)\n\nSin and wickedness in New Orleans and the surroundng region was also judged.

hello, i am from louisiana, 30 minutes south of new orleans. i am not exactly sure what the answer is. you are probably talking about the 9th ward (which is one of the hardest hit areas), it is not one of the best neighborhoods and that could be why they do not want to rebuild. i heard something about it becomming a rich neighborhood. but honestly who would want to rebuild there. the entire area is protected by a levee. the other area that was hard hit was chalmette, the entire parish flooded and the water was up to the roofs of the homes. i personally would not live in an area protected by a levee. also i am sure that most of the people in the 9th ward area can not afford to rebuild. the insurance companies aren't exactly being fair. i hope i helped you understand a little bit better, if not feel free to contact me.

How about doing a search on Hurricane Katrina.  the issues there were huge\n\ngood luck

Man that is going to be a touchy subject. I am in Houston and I have friends and family on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.\nSo I have seen the devastation and the destruction and the free loading first hand.\nLet me fist say that not everyone in N.O. needs a hand out. Some are good honest people and had the sense God gave a fly to get out of dodge before the storm. They will do so again. The ones that did not are the problem..\nDid they learn their lesson the first time - we will see?\n\nHowever!... If they choose to go back and it is a choice. I.E. There are a LOT of N.O. residents that are now residents of H town that are not going back.\nAnyway... If they choose to go back it should be at their peril.\nContrary to what "lynn" thinks. The Government does not owe them anything. That has been the problem all along. Too many people feel the U.S. Government should pay for their losses. Ahhh have ya ever heard of insurance? If you didn't have it before and you are going back it should be REQUIRED. \nThe government is not a charity. It was not established to support and bail out the people who are to stupid to plan for an emergency. It is not like they did not know they were below sea level, it is not like they did not know a storm was coming. An accident is unexpected and catches you by surprise... a majority of N.O residents feel like this was an accident. \nHow many of them are willing to move back there and pay 2 or 3 times the taxes they were paying to build stronger levees and better drainage systems? I doubt many. So what... the rest of the tax paying U.S. is supposed to foot the bill?\nWRONG. \nIf they did not know before, they know now. N.O is below sea level and will flood. Anyone that rebuilds there should do so at their own expense and risk.\nI would be happy to come spend a few days "helping", that is what neighbors do... but do not expect me to pay for any aspect of your choosing to live there.\nIf I build my next home on the rail road tracks... there is a higher than probable chance that it is going to get hit by a train.... duh.\nThe people of the US and the US Gov. have given and given and are still giving... Don't expect us to do it again.\nAs to where are they supposed to go...\nAnywhere? As I said... there are lots of them here in Houston and to the best of my knowledge there are 49 other states to choose from. I mean come on... \nBurn me once shame on you, burn me twice shame on me. NO THEY GOV SHOULD NOT PAY TO EVACUATE THEM.\nDon't look for the free hand out. Make a better choice.\n\nAdditional Comments:\nI don't think anyone should NOT move back there. I do however think it should be at their own risk. Put it anyway you want... It is BELOW SEA LEVEL and building there INVITES problems. I just heard on the news not an hour ago that the cost to rebuild the levees is now over 10 Billion. \n\nThat money should not have to come from the federal Government and the rest of the citizens of the U.S. Nor should any future federal funds for the next time. The lessons have been taught and should have been learned. If you can't afford to insure your property to the level of replacement... you shouldn't live there and expect me to pay for it. \n\n\nGo ahead rebuild. I am all for it. As I said I would be happy to help. Point in case... I am leaving Tuesday 4/12 for my third trip back to Mississippi to help rebuild... So the work is not the issue. I just think the same values and nuances you and others are so fond of could be relocated to a safer place.\n\nBottom line it is not the buildings it is the people that make it.\n\nand Yes I have been there several times.

I watch that.  They don't sleep in the same beds.  They sleep in the guest room, usually.  I saw that religious freak though.  She was the one who yelled, "SHE'S NOT A CHRISTIAN!!!" and "THESE PEOPLE ARE DARK-SIDED!"  My favorite was when she said, "GET THE %&*@ OUT OF MY HOUSE, IN JESUS' NAME I PRAY!"  There's a real Christian, using the F-word in the same sentence as Jesus.  Nice.

I think I heard this one on the radio.\n\nThe Catholic blesses the food, the Protestant takes a bite off the plate, the Muslim grabs the gun and kills everyone else in the room.....I think that's how it went.\n\nBAD joke though.  It's it amazing how we put stereotypes on people that are not positive at all?  I would prefer it go this way:\n\nThe Catholic, the Protestant, and the Hebrew get everyone to clasp hands; they all say a blessing in their own way over the food, then they all pass the plate, each taking a bite, and say, "Do this, in rememberance of me.  This is my body that was broken for you, take and eat, all of you, in rememberance of me."  Then they bow their heads and pray silently, each in their own way, while they eat.\n\nThey all hang the gun on the wall to remind them that while they are all in this place, they are brothers----and the gun is a reminder of the sin they left behind.

I think these Bible codes are very interesting and look to be very accurate. It was very good of you to find this. I want to look at this website more often to see other revelations other than the New Orleans/Katrina one which I thought was really neat. Thanks!!!!

None of us know what he would really think inside.  He's a politician.  But to blame the Katrina situation on any kind of racism isn't right.  There's no way a politician would do that in this country any more, the end result would be his destruction.  The statements made were spontaneous and pretty ignorant.  There's just no possible way anyone in the government was holding off help simply because black people were involved.  The plain as day simple answer is that no one knew how to deal with a situation like that, it was unprecedented and the "government" up there does not have all the answers all the time.  We just expect perfection.  Then there were reports of rescuers being shot at and violence, looting etc. everywhere.  What we saw on the news was cameramen showing looting while claims that they were only showing black people doing bad things while white people were looking for food.  Well, what we saw were "people" carrying TV's away.  White or Black I'd bet my life they weren't selected because of their race to be shown on TV.\n\nWhatever George Bush supports in his heart will not show anyway, so the end result is the same as if he had no prejudice.  We'll never know.

I'm an pediatrics resident in New Orleans. I worked during and for 3 days after the hurricane at Children's hospital.  Our program is back up and running, and I've been working @ Children's since it reopened on Oct 10th.\n\nI have never heard of this cold shoulder - it sounds rediculous.  I have only received praises for what was actually a part of my duties.  It was a learning experience that I will never forget.

Last summer at the tv station I interned with, one of the meteorologists went in a wind tunnel to show what wind speeds in a hurricane are like.  I just found the video on their website - \nat 95 mph: "I don't know how any human being could remain on their feet if they tried to move at all."\n108 was all he could make it up to because it was too hard to breathe.
