Rant #1,234,567,890

Look I am sick of it. OK. Sick of all the sneering and the in-fighting over this Katrina bullshit.

Let's get some things straight ALL of you out there....

1. and a very big #1 at that. Help. Shut the hell up and help. Send money, send food, and supplies. Stop finger pointing for now and help. That's what they need - stop blaming the victims of this (unless someday you want to be caught up in a natural disaster and have God and the rest of mankind turn their collective backs on you in YOUR time of need). Help. There's going to be plenty of time for blame later - we can lynch the President then...and all of his FEMA people as well if that will make you happy.

2. Those of you blaming the poor people of Louisiana and Mississippi, SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! Period!!! You've never lived in New Orleans, or in Mississippi, nor (from the sound of your crap have you ever been poor). I have both lived in New Orleans and been incredibly poor and you know what sometimes YOU CAN'T GET OUT and sometimes YOU CAN'T HELP YOURSELF. Shut your piehole and refer to #1. Help - or go away - preferably to the Middle East or Africa where other people are REALLY suffering as well so you can see other people of colour in trouble there too since you can't seem to get it through your thick fucking skulls this shit happens all over but when it happens here and your brain can't wrap around it you decide to blame the victims.

3. Get used to the fact that there is a class/caste system in this country. Get used to the poor being treated like crap. What? Did you need a hurricane to explain this shit? Have you noticed the homeless? Think they're going anywhere soon (not in this country/not in this economy) - if you don't like looking at the poor go back into your million dollar homes in California and shut the fuck up or refer to #1, and help.

4. I am sick and fucking tired of it being a crime to be poor in this country. I am sick and tired of seeing crimes perpetrated against the poor in this country (like police brutality, social programs being yanked and shitty schools because they can't afford to live elsewhere and all you white folks run away when they come to your neighborhoods - stop lying and face it!) Further, I am sick and fucking tired of both liberal and conservative Americans wringing their pasty white hands and not knowing what to do or pointing the fingers at their political counterpoints and blaming them. Look in the mirror - YOU voted for these assholes. Watch some *real* news and I don't mean the CBS, NBC, ABC-socialist tonight reports. Think - Do you remember how to use your brain???? DO YOU???? Doesn't seem that way to me. Go to your local church or community center and ask how you can help. Get involved. Go to your town hall meetings, your city council meetings and stop whining - become an activist.

5. You don't get to support people who claim to be Christian and act as un-Christian as possible. (And stop fucking telling me the Christian Right-wingers aren't claiming to be Christians and stop fucking telling me that not all Christians are like this.) (I am sure you aren't like this 'Christina' but if you are TRULY not like this why are you NOT stopping the idiots that are like this?? Or does your precious two-faced Christianity keep you from smiting down ignorance and intolerance???? PLEASE! Look, you wanna know what would Jesus do??? He'd take an UZI and blow up Pat Robertson THAT'S what he'd do for saying shit like this is God's punishment....(Goddess help me I don't believe this man.)(And by the way IF you voted for Bush YOU DID VOTE FOR THIS CRAP - sorry but thems the breaks.)

So if you can't play nice in the sandbox (or cesspool 'cause that's what Louisiana is now) - then go home, take your toys and go home. We really don't need you.
