[StBernard] Mexicans

[Westley Annis]

     As a "MEXICAN" who was a member of St. Bernard before Katrina, And will
be again, after the post -storm passes. I wasn't always a member of St.
Bernard parish. I was born & raised in the ninth ward.I attended all
catholic schools. I am a divorced, single mother who bought a house in St
Bernard, Arabi in fact. I continue to train to be a firefighter, while
raising a child, and sifting through all this Katrina mess. I know that
whenever I comment on here, its only when someone has said something that I
can no longer sit by, without speaking up...IN ORDER FOR EVIL TO PREVAIL,ALL
THAT IS REQUIRED IS FOR GOOD TO NOT DO ANYTHING!  I just want to say that if
someone signs up to gut my house, or even is hired to gut my house, I
wouldn't care if they were mexican, black , white, yellow, the point is
THEY ARE HERE TO HELP YOU.......AGAIN......THEY ARE HERE TO HELP YOU.HELP.
HELP. HELP. HELP. HELP. HELP. I AM SO SICK OF SEEING PEOPLE MAKE THESE
LITTLE "OH MY GOD, THE MEXICANS ARE COMING, CALL THE POLICE, LOCK YOUR
DOORS, SEE IF THEY STEAL ANYTHING. I MEAN DO YOU REALIZE HOW RACIST THAT
SOUNDS,ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS TOPPED OFF WITH, I'M NOT RACIST, SWEETHEART, IF
YOU MAKE A STATEMENT THAT EVEN HINTS RACISM, AND YOU FEEL YOU HAVE TO SUM UP
YOUR COMMENTS UP WITH A DEFENSIVE STATEMENT LIKE I'M NOT RACIST, LET ME GIVE
YOU A HINT, ITS RACISM, WHETHER IT WAS INTENTIONAL, OR NOT. YOU KNOW WHAT,
ITS NOT EVEN ENTIRELY ABOUT THE "MEXICANS". ONE NIGHT, IMMEDIATELY AFTER
KATRINA, I WAS ONLINE , & SORRY, I CAN'T REMEMBER THE WEB SITE, BUT THEY HAD
ALL THESE STUPID PEOPLE POSTING THINGS LIKE" THANK GOD, THOSE NIGGERS, AND
WHITE TRASH CAN'T SWIM, I THINK GOD DID THE REST OF THE WORLD A FAVOR!!!!  I
SHED AN EXTRA TEAR THAT NIGHT FOR  THE SOUL OF THE PERSON WHO HAD JUST
WRITTEN THAT NONSENSE. THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO THINK THAT WE DESERVED
THIS MESS, BECAUSE WE'RE NOT ALL WHITE, RICH,AND GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT OTHER
REASONS FOR THAT THINKING.  IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING KATRINA, I SAW PEOPLE ,
EVEN SOME ON THIS SITE WONDERING HOW THEY WOULD GET THEIR HOME GUTTED,
FIXED, ETC. SO, HERE COME THE VOLUNTEERS, AND YES, SOME MEXICANS, NO ONE
MINDS THE FREE HELP, WHEN ITS NEEDED, TILL ITS NOT NEEDED, BY THEM ANYMORE.
AFTER THAT, HELPERS, ESPECIALLY NON CAUCASIAN HELPERS, WATCH YOUR BACKS! AND
NOW WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE "INDIANS" COMING TO OUR RESCUE. AND HOW
IRONIC IS THIS, THE NATIVE AMERICANS, VOLUNTEERING BY THE THOUSANDS TO HELP
THE DESCENDANTS OF THE VERY PEOLPE WHO STOLE THEIR COUNTRY FROM THEM!!!!!

    ALL THIS RAMBLING DOES HAVE A POINT PEOPLE, I'VE SAID IT I DON'T KNOW
HOW MANY TIMES, AND THAT  IS  WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER, LET'S NOT FALL
APART, OR ALLOW OURSELVES TO BE TORN APART BY OUR DIFFERENCES, EVEN IF THEY
ARE  DIFFERENCES OF OPINIONS.
