Looting in NO was NOT a natural disaster. The images we SAW mostly were looters taking TVs and things that they just didn't NEED.

The images that many see of Detroit are the ones that were shown on that video.... but what you didn't see were all the hard-working white & blue-collar people going to work. While many people are out of work cuz of Detroit's shitty economy, there are still many who work in the city, and who are working to make Detroit the place it once was. The actual downtown is very nice. Every main city has a ghetto, and unfortunately that's what the country focuses on when it comes to Detroit. Half the time I don't even consider the shitty parts Detroit. When you're local, sometimes you separte it by Southwest, Northwest, Northeast, Metro, Downtown, Cass Corridor. Some of these neighborhoods of Detroit you don't go to without protection, and some you can go out and enjoy.

It's not funny to make fun of people's misfortunes and that is exactly what this video showed.
So, now you're telling me the looting had NOTHING to do with the hurricane or at least was not a product of it? Okay..........

Again, they're NOT showing pictures of NY homeless people, so that's irrelevant. You're comparing things that make absolutely no sense.

I even said every city has a ghetto, just like every city has rich communities as well. So don't say that I'm implying only Detroit is like that.

Calm down honey, it's seriously not a big deal. They didn't even talk about this on ATH....no one really gives a shit except David Stern.
