[StBernard] SHARON IS MAD!!!!!!

[Westley Annis]

This is TRUE!!! And she is upset that she has to 'make do'...
Sharon in her Section 8 home!

						
						Sharon Jasper has spent 57
of her 58 years dedicated to one cause and one cause only, and has nothing
to show for her dedicated servitude ....
						She has lived in Section 8
housing all but 1 of her 58 years. It was a legacy passed down from her
parents who moved into Section 8 housing in 1949 when she was six months
old. She has passed the legacy down to her children, but fears they may have
to get jobs to pay for the utilities and deposits.
						She laments about her one
year hiatus from the comfort of her Section 8 nirvana, 'I tried it for a
year -- you know, working and all. It's not anything I would want to go
through again, or wish on anyone in my family, but I am damn proud of that
year.'
						Sharon was moved out of her
St. Bernard housing project after hurricane Katrina and into a new, yet
albeit, substandard quarterage. As can be noted from the above photo of her
new Section 8 home, it is repugnant and not suitable for someone of Sharon
Jasper's seniority status in the system. 'Don't be fooled by them hardwood
floors,' says Sharon...
						'They told me they were
putting in scraped wood floors cause it was more expensive and elegant, but
I am not a fool -- that was just a way to make me take scratched up wood
because I am black. The 60 inch HD TV? It may look nice but it is not plasma
.... It's not a plasma because I'm black. Now they want me to pay a deposit
and utilities on this dump. 'Do you know why?'
						She has held her tongue in
silence through the years of abuse by the system, but it came to a head at
the New Orleanss city council meeting where discussions were under way about
the tearing down of the St. Bernard projects. When a near riotous exchange
between groups opposing the tearing down of St. Bernard and groups wanting
the dilapidated buildings torn down and newer ones built, Sharon unleashed
verbal hell with her once silenced tongue. The object of her oratory prowess
was an acquiescent poor white boy in attendance. The context of her scathing
rebuke was, 'Just because you pay for my house, my car, my big screen and my
food, Medical needs. I will not be treated like a slave!' and 'Back up and
Shut up! white boy Shut up, white boy!
						Recapping from the log of
the city council minutes; Sharon repines, 'Our families have been displaced
all over the United States. They are being forced to commit crimes in cities
they are unfamiliar with. It is a very uncomfortable situation for them.
Bring them back, then let's talk about redevelopment.'
						Sharon directs the
reporter's attention across the street to Duncan Plaza where homeless people
are living in tents and states that, 'I might do better out there with one
of these tents.' She further lamented her sentiments about her situation, 'I
might be poor, but I don't have to live poor.'
						
						Any wonder why this country
is in the shape it is? Maybe we should all just chip in and get her the
plasma TV she so richly deserves!
