I received this email form a friend. I'm not sure who he got it from but I thought it was worth sharing.
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 vomit. 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) were 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 were too many
>volunteers and that volunteers were needed at the George R. Brown
>Convention Center. As I was walking up to the Convention Center I
>noticed a line of cars that wrapped around blocks filled with donations. These were ordinary Houstonians coming with truckloads and trunks full of
>water, diapers, clothes, blankets, food, all types of good stuff.
>
>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 surroundings; 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 were comfortable, I laid
>in 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 were 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 that 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
>UNRATIONAL 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 where SLAVES. No not all of them
>of course, but 70% did!!!!!! 20% were 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 quick 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. There were 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 fucking 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 THEMESELVES!!!!
>
>I waved them off and turned away and was laughed at and more "white
>boy jokes" were made at me. I felt no need to waste my breath on a
>bunch of pitiful losers. I went to a nearby restroom where I noticed a
>man shaving. I used the restroom, 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 were 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 N*****S, but the actual definition of a n*****r is
>one who is ignorant, these people were not ignorant..they were
>ARROGANT ASSHOLES. The majority of which are thugs and lifetime lazy
>ass 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! Well you know what..these types of people can go to hell for
>all I care!
