We get it Johnny.
You feel that black people demand and get special treatment.
You'd better find a hobby or distraction... you're being consumed by this
hate.

You racist pig. *There was nothing said about black people. *The comment
was about self reliance. *Lots of white people in NOLA area with their
hand out also.

Stick to your drinking and bad grammer Kalif Swill.
Everyone with half a brain knows exactly what Johnny is up to.

As far as can see it is HK who is racist assuming that blacks cannot
be self reliant This is in accord with lefties always treating black
people as less than human.
I would like to know how the two situations differ in "everything that
mattered".
HK has shown his true racism.

I'm sorry, I must have missed the post where Harry said that blacks
were incapable of self-reliance.

I suspect you're putting words in his mouth.

He may be up to what ever you think (if you ever think) he is up to. But it
is also a very valid question as to government response. Being one who went
to the NOLA area after Katrina to help the recovery via Habitat for
Humanity, I saw what the locals are not doing. You ever get off your ass to
help others or just to get more alcoholic beverages for the son? Did Harry
ever get off his fat ass and help? I was building in Slidell, and most
restaurants were only open a couple hours a day, as there was a lack of
workers. $10.50 / hr to work at McD's with a signing bonus after 3 months.
But go into NOLA itself and the people there were waiting for the government
checks, and rebuild homes better than before. Both places have blacks. We
worked with blacks in Slidell. They had little use for the NOLA people also.
Get you head out of your ass and think. Maybe you should let your son drink
all your beer and you will be better off.

Pinky and harold are both racist bigots. They've proven it in this
thread.

Herr Krause. From past posts it has been noted that you are the one
that hates the right-wing, and unfortunately, anyone associated with
it.

Herr Krause. You say, "I would both turn down an invite from you..."

Are there really two of you? Or should I ask, ONLY two of you?

I say, old boy. It's time you were tested for a multiple-personality
disorder.

Really, DID, DSM, MPD, or which letters are of your choosing, can be
treated successfully with proper medication and/or shock therapy, that
is unless you suffer from JPS Syndrome, then maybe your local
psychiatrist might need to test you for acute schizophrenia.

But relax. Even if you should decide to opt out of treatment, in four
years all should be back to normal.

Cheers.

No, Herr Krause. I haven't had the opportunity to personally meet you.

There is another perspective to this. The difference between city
people and country people. The black folks who lived out in the bayou
didn't riot, panic or complain about FEMA either.
I really believe a hurricane hitting ANY big city will be a disaster
of apocalyptic proportions. New York City leaps to mind.
Country people do tend to be a lot more self reliant, no matter how
much melanin they have in their skin..

But not exclusive to the country. There are a percentage of those who
live in the city who can take care of their own, and not because they
grew up in the country.

I does take a different set of skills to thrive in the city but it
doesn't mean that you cannot also be skilled at crafts.

Crafts? And which did you find the easiest to work with under
stressful times?

If you prefer to call them trades, by all means do. I build all kinds
of things, do plumbing, electrical, flooring. I don't install
sheetrock, tape or mud since it's a lot of work and a skill that's
best done by a pro.

We gutted our'60s kitchen and rebuilt with new cabinets, granite and
oak flooring, demo'd and refinished 800 sq. ft of basement, ripped off
ugly 50s siding to expose the original 1923 clapboard, sanded,
replaced bad sections, recaulked and painted. Rebuilt a 150 sq ft
second story deck from scratch.

I do my own gardening including summer vegatables. This summer I'm
rebuilding our garage.

Do you knit, sew or crochet?

People in cities will still have the problem of not having the tools
and resources. They are more dependent on municipal services and the
population density makes a local problem far more serious. If nothing
else you have a lot of people trying to stand on the same point of
high ground.
Just one small case that is on point, few city folks own a boat, at
least one they can easily get to. In my neighborhood of about 90
doors, we had 81 boats (ranging from Jet skis and jon boats to 30+
foot offshore boats) the last time I did a count.

Seattle's per capita boat ownership is very high -- part of the local
culture, heritage and given the regional surroundings but fuel prices
and the economy have certainly taken a toll.

Lots of folks here, while urbanites, take pride in looking after their
own property. Probably less so within city limits than the
surrounding areas. Over the years I've invested in a serious table
saw, band saw, portable planer, a couple of routers and table, several
circular saws, grinders, reciprocal saw, a siding sander, jig saw,
polisher for fiberglass, several drills and drivers, a compressor, air
tools and nailers and a top and bottom roll away and large pegboard
full of mechanical and woodworking hand tools. I see people at the
local hardware stores making similar investments although the tools at
the big box Lowes and Home Depot are always looking to be built
cheaper. I buy old, well built stuff off of craigslist more than new.
I turned wrenches for a while as a kid in Los Angeles so I got to know
the inside of the Snap On truck pretty well. They got a good
percentage of my paycheck.

Always did my own maintenance and upgrades on the boat. That's part
of the bliss of boat ownership from my perspective. Cruising is just
working on your boat in exotic places.
