Lack of Appreciation in Houston
« on: October 02, 2005, 02:46:00 PM »
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 give 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
f---ing 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!

Well, since you admittedly went there not to help people, but for you to feel good and satisfy your curiousity, your mission was accomplished, no?  Since it wasn't your aim to help others, you succeeded.

How many rapes and murders did you witness, as you posted before?  How many "shooters" did you see weilding guns?  Did you alert the authorities?  Did you intervene when you witnessed rapes happening?

You story sounds more than a little bit sketchy.  And, if it's true, you're as much a lowlife as some you described for doing nothing while atrocious crimes were committed before you.

Perhaps they could already tell what your attitude was towards them and that is why they treated you that way. It's amazing when people offer "help" and it always has some strings attached. Maybe you should purge all your worldly possessions and take a trip to the nearest shelter while distraught and depressed and have some do gooders tell you what to eat and what to do. Christ now air mattresses are luxury items?

Newsflash you help people because it is the right thing to do, not because you expect something in return. So what you felt they were ungreatful, why did you go there expecting a pat on the back?

am looking for people who survived Straight in Plymouth, Michigan. I miss a lot of people there and wonder what happened and would like to stay in touch.

Being homeless is exhausting. The stress alone is exhausting. Then you have nowhere to sleep that is private. You can't eat what you want to eat for different reasons, like you can't cook it or store it. You can't get what you want because you don't have money. You can't just chill neither because you are in public view. Whenever I get unhomelessed I sleep a lot.

Oh yeah, if the Original Poster on this thread would kindly post their address, I will personally send to them a personally engraved trophy for their day of carrying air mattresses and making note of several inexcusable instances of littering or failing to transport litter items to trash cans.

Their attitude may have something to do with being herded like cattle onto a bus for who-knows-where. Perhaps they would rather have been taken to a relative's house somewhere in La that to Houston- the asshole of Tx.

Might also have something to do with being quarentined in La for days waiting and waiting and waiting for gov't aid to arrive while the gov't stopped aid from entering.

You have no business volunteering until you get your head screwed on right. You should be thanking them for exposing your childish need to feel like a savior.

BTW Immigrant... blacks are not native to this continent and they didn't 'immigrate' here. They were herded like cattle onto ships and brought here to be the slaves of IMMIGRANTS who ironically took the land and resources from the true natives of this continent.
Be grateful that you are doing well. Had your ancestor's skin been black when they arrived, you all might still be poor despite your best efforts.

I have to say too that you are a control freak. Those people don't want to be pitied or pampered by do-gooder whites. They are perfectly capable of picking up their own bottle of water, they didn't need you to hand it to them.
They are also capable of moving their own beds around and don't need you telling them where to place them.

If I were in charge the damn beds would be stacked at one end of the arena and people could come get the number they needed for their little pod of people.

The truth is, do-gooders want to control every aspect (demeaning), cause they certainly 'know better'...  and are shocked when the 'loosers' don't appreciate their 'help' (control).

DeLay to evacuees: 'Is this kind of fun?'

U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's visit to Reliant Park this morning offered him a glimpse of what it's like to be living in shelter.

While on the tour with top administration officials from Washington, including U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao and U.S. Treasury Secretary John W. Snow, DeLay stopped to chat with three young boys resting on cots.

The congressman likened their stay to being at camp and asked, "Now tell me the truth boys, is this kind of fun?"

They nodded yes, but looked perplexed.

If/when he goes to jail, I hope there is a reporter who has the balls to ask him the same question. Hey Tommy, kinda like camp, huh?

A little gratitude can go a long way. A Thank you is a simple way to show some appreciation.
