10 Years Later How Did Yall Experience Hurricane Katrina?

[Knuckles Red]

Watched this and now I'm going though the Katrina Youtube rabbit hole



The inhumane conditions in the Superdome after Katrina hit

I also remember reading something about police officers taking delight in shooting prisoners to death. I can't remember where I read that, but man...what a wild time.

I was just a sixth grader in Atlanta, so it didn't affect me nor was I mature enough to really understand the gravity of the situation.

I do remember we had a lot of displaced people coming to my school.

Looking back the whole situation was a nightmare that would make the worse horror movie blush. Black people trapped on rooftops, black citizens being called "refugees and looters" fighting for survival while being abandoned by their government, corralled into the Superdome like animals. White supremacists having an open season and shooting anybody with impunity. Black bodies floating in the water in all manner of decay. People being moved around the country not knowing the whereabouts of their families and the condition of their homes. The same homes that most likely got knocked down after the city was revitalized. The city became a hellhole of suffering and death.

I had my first full time job out of school, it was bullshyt, but I remember they brought a TV on the floor and we watched it on there.

Small company of about 10 people (I was the only black guy). Sat for hours watching people of color fight for their lives in flood water, White people had no emotion at all.

Then they showed one mangy ass mutt stuck on top of a car in flood waters and the one white woman starts

Meanwhile I'm like if I could get you to feel the same way about the previous hours of black folks

white people so evil that all you can do is laugh sometimes.

I mostly remember all the transfer students. Relations were pretty tense both on a school level and in the streets and we all the same people

I was 20 and my now wife and I went to Relaint stadium to help receive all the refugees and turned our area into an information booth for people getting off buses and not knowing where to go for any services.

Had a few of the Whites approach us asking to help after they also lost everything and we told them to go sit down and chill

I was in college, about to start my sophomore year (so much puzzy and partying that year ).

Outside of seeing Kanye say his shyt and George Bush not knowing how to handle things.......it didn't really affect us.

The big story was from friends and family that had kids or siblings in middle school and high school here in Dallas, Houston etc. Big waves of kids from Nola being added to the schools and of course you know how kids can be. Probably not as big a deal at diverse high schools but you already know it was gon be some shyt if you add, say, 100+ (Black) Nola kids to a mostly Black high school.
