Joplin victims vs. Hurricane Irene victims
 Part of channel(s): May 2011 tornado outbreak (current event)

There is story in the Harford Courant (newspaper) about the long lines at State offices for Irene victims. I found another picture of Joplin Tornado victims. Do you see the difference? One group wants a hand out, the other group is helping themselves. What other differences can you find?

  • One group is racist and the other group are picking themselves up and dealing with it.

    • @giepster ironic that in this case it's the Conservative stronghold of Joplin, MO that's looking for a handout while the Liberal stronghold of Vermont is digging out. Go figure....

      Joplin is not looking for a hand out. Hell, I don't know if FEMA ever showed up. If they did it took them weeks.

      Vermont is a basket case and doing NOTHING until Bernie Sanders secures BILLIONS in aid. I know, I live in Ma. and hear the stories.

      It has been tossed around that FEMA has not assisted TX and MO quickly because they did not support the President in the election.

      I would like to think that is not the case, but when FEMA does not respond to TWO disasters, people begin to wonder why.

  • Well DUH! Not news as far as I can see. The same pictures can be drawn before an event like those in Joplin and hurricane Irene. White people take pride in their neighborhoods by planting and weeding flower beds, picking up garbage, keeping trash out of view from the street, etc. Black people take their neighborhoods and ruin them buy selling drugs even though they say its for their hood, they trash their own towns and streets, and take no pride in ownership. When I see a successful black man, I More..

    • @Airedale Oh yeah, I saw a ton of pride in that video... I once heard someone say that white people were just more domesticated, well if that is what makes my street nice to live on, I'm okay with it.

  • As a native of Connecticut that lives on the water at the mouth of the Connecticut River, this is disgusting, thieves ripping off the system.

    I had to make sure my insurance was paid up before the storm, I had to pay the tree guy $200 to take down some older trees...Two Americas, the one where everyone is to blame, everyone is a victim and the other, your white, you work, now pay your damn taxes the urban poor lead by the Democrat Leftist need their money.

      Great comment. Yet the the stupid liberals and Black leaders continue to sell everyone the idea of reparations for blacks. What fucking reparations for these lazy ass motherfuckers?!?!?! They continue to milk the system, have like 6, 7, 8 fucking babies and complain about food for their children. Why in the fuck have that many kids if you can even feed them? Yet they want reparations because the ze evil white man?!?!?! I say fuck them!!!!
