since that was from 2007, perhaps Sharon has moved on to bigger and better
things.

-----------------------------------------------------
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!
