An email I got today... no further comments from me...
FWIW, a google search reveals this to be a real person and contact info. I forwarded it to snopes.com to see if they can verify if it's real or if someone is out for the doctor.

What the news does not show...
I 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 (Houston) 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) where 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 are too many
volunteers and that volunteers where 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 where
ordinary Houstonians coming with truckloads and trunks full of water,
diapers, clothes, blankets, food, all types of good stuff. And 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 surrounding; 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, where comfortable, I laid on 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 b
y 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 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
UNRATIONALbehavior***
Evacuees came 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% where 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 but most
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 that.there where
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" where 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 where
demanding. I saw only ONE white family and only TWO Hispanic families. The
rest where blacks. 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 where 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!
