Grr... How well some ppl are doing... Does race matter
Edited on Tue Sep-06-05 08:24 AM by wakeme2008
First an email from a friend about her WHITE brother in Long Beach MS.


Len said that things continue to improve. The goal is to have power on
in Long Beach in three days and the entire Gulf Coast by Sept. 11th.
There is more cellphone coverage available too but still wait for him to
call you.

Today, the guy who dug their pond a couple of years ago is coming to
pull the big trees out and off his trailers. All that wood should be
gone by tonight. The pecan crop is gone for the year but the mess will
be gone too. Kim came down to help and spent yesterday picking up glass
that had blown out of the garage windows and then she started piling up
the shingles that had blown off. Both the glass and the shingles with
the nails would make the yard impossible to walk on. That had to be done
before the tree guy could come in. It's going to cost bucks but it will
be done. The garage can't be taken down yet since it's so precarious.
One end is pretty much standin/leaning but he doesn't want to damage
(any further) the trucks he's been restoring.

He has about 30 gallons of gasoline. Phil's brother is driving down
from the Northeast with a five hundred gallon tank he's going to fill
along the way.

Kim came down with a baby squirrel that she found in their front yard in
Hattiesburg. Yes, Len's sworn enemy is being reared by his daughter. She
had raised three after Andrew a few years ago so she's got experience.

Len continues to repeat, do not believe all you hear or see on TV. There
are 30 plus distribution sites in his area. All he has to do is drive
up, and tell them what he needs. If you can't drive, they bring it to
you. Mississippi guard troops and others and volunteers are doing this
work.



Now there is this about Long Beach Mississippi

Population (year 2000): 17,320, Est. population in July 2002: 17,003 (-1.8% change)
Males: 8,349 (48.2%), Females: 8,971 (51.8%)

Races in Long Beach:

* White Non-Hispanic (86.1%)
* Black (7.4%)
* Hispanic (2.3%)
* Two or more races (1.4%)
* Vietnamese (1.0%)
* American Indian (0.9%)
* Filipino (0.7%)
* Other race (0.7%)

2. The gov. of Mississippi was bragging about how quickly he got
help from FEMA.. within 24 hours I think.

White citenzry + repuke governor = all the help you need

black citizenry + dem. governor = you'll have to wait 5 days then BEG pretty please for our help
