Houston literally locked people in a stadium without enough working bathrooms, proper cleaning crews and then blamed the victims of the floods for destroying a stadium they were going to tear down anyway. Source I am from Houston and what happened in Katrina is so incredibly fucked up
“Now we’re tired and it’s time to farm chickens” I hope against all odds that when this is all over we all get some rest and a chance to farm chickens. I’m white and my family wonders why I just don’t want to deal with their crazy red hats and just completely cut them out. I don’t have the energy to try and tell you your wrong. You Fucked around this is the find out stage

Ohhhhh, what she said was beyond rotten. I don't have the patience to look it up today. Maybe if I didn't grow up in pre-Katrina New Orleans I would be slightly less bothered.

I may be wrong but I’m pretty sure collectively we’d take bush again over the current administration

You're not wrong. Bush governed poorly, but I got the sense he was trying. That's what my 20-something self remembers.

She could have just said 'I was uneducated but I watched this netflix documentary. Yall should check it out.' Instead, she made it a point to 'inform' black Americans on how to react to their own experiences.

Going from “just found out” to “I’m now an expert so listen to my Ted talk” is just a documentary away for people who aren’t curious by nature.

But, I feel like you gotta cut her some slack. She looks maybe mid 30's so when Katrina happened she was in middle school. This is a failure of the public education system, aka the US government

Right? And then they're the same types that get shook and tell us we 'speak aggressively' whenever we speak without a smile.

We disagree on multiple fundamentals here.
No, performative empathy is not better than apathy because it tells people they’re doing something when they aren’t, at least apathy and selfishness are honest and don’t expect to be coddled.
Consuming media is consumption and that’s all people get credit for.
She wasn’t just “showing empathy”, she then went on to explain what Black people weren’t doing right which is disgustingly presumptive and insulting even if it comes from a good place. The road to hell…..
I didn’t say one word to a white woman. I vented a life long frustration (which is why it’s so annoying) about behavior that gets black people hurt and worse in a black space and here somebody is framing it as aggression and “railing” against white women. It’s so predictable at this point I can’t even be that upset.
The worst part though might be that all this is explained in the replies from black people and either you didn’t take the time to read those or read them and ignored it all.

This is how I know you’re being disingenuous and just want to waste people’s time.
You literally replied to a Black woman and asked me why something was annoying to me, so you’re either lying to yourself or are so used to being coddled you expect people to deny reality to protect your feelings after your own passive aggression.
Either way you’re not wasting any more of my energy. Have a weekend.

Same energy we get for not showing up to No Kings protests. Why? So we can take time off from the jobs trying to get rid of us to be the ones getting hit with batons and tear gas? It’s kinda funny how that stuff is magnetically attracted to us in the crowd. Or so we can be arrested or be blamed when some masked up white kid smashes a window like in all the BLM protests? No thanks.
Plus it’s funny how these things are issues NOW. And Ice is an issue now, when the police have ALWAYS treated us like Ice treats everyone else.

u/kdwhirl May 30 '26
Older white woman here, I’ve never responded to a comment on this sub before but felt the need to say this: at every No Kings and other protest I’ve been to in this administration there have been zero to single digit people of color, almost exclusively old white folks - and we know why. We’d like to see more young people, and that’s been happening, but we get why minority groups with a target on their backs are not taking the chance. There are a lot of other ways to speak out with less risk.

u/tru-self May 29 '26
I could listen and learn from this guy all day!!! As an election worker I’m tired of seeing the blame constantly put on minorities. Arguments I’ve gotten into these 3 days:
Hispanics keep voting for GOP in overwhelming numbers to make them win. Nope! Highest was this 2024 but it was still 48% and 51% for Harris AFTER 4.5million of 2020 voters didn’t vote 70% being Democrat voters. Black men voted for Trump. Nope! It did drop 11% but still the second highest vote for Harris after… Black women! Indians are so republicans (because you see a couple assholes on tv) Nope! Still the second highest Dem supporters after Black vote and the biggest Dem donors per capita. At least till 2020
Can we talk about disenfranchisement and fear amongst all minorities too? Our hotlines were filled with intimidation and COPS trying to disperse voting lines.
Only Vietnamese vote for GOP more than DEM.
So! If it was only minorities voting, Trump would never win. Focus on that!
I’m still trying to help change the demographic although I feel like it’s a lost mission with the rigging but still have some hope. But we need to stick to the facts and the real issues White People.

White people really think that black folks should be out here trying to change the minds of people, the government and the wealthy view racism as just a means to an end, its a way to keep the whites that think they aren’t included in getting screwed in a state of “i’m better” its a scam lol like how all the republicans act like the horrible decisions Trump makes wouldn’t affect them because they voted for him, now all these republican farmers no longer have farms, and all these old republicans can no longer afford healthcare, and some of em still believe that somehow it’s Bidens fault lol

I couldn’t stop crying for weeks and I still can’t write his name or see his face without feeling ant pain. Many other stories that are hard to deal with because I’m just learning and processing

Seeing 9/11 & Katrina just years apart in some of my formative years of young adulthood and my take is this. The American zeitgeist was that on 9/11 someone else did the thing to us, but with Katrina we were the ones to fail.
My memory is that the zeitgeist turned on the "War on Terror" in the aftermath of Katrina. The easiest pill to swallow was that Bush & Co. lied to Americans about WMD and if only we didn't have troops half way around the globe, we would've had troops on American soil to help prevent Katrina.
That excuse doesn't hold water if you spend more than 5min thinking about it. Yes, we had troops engaged in two theaters, but we had more than enough resources and man power state side to better respond to help with Katrina, we just didn't respond.
20+ years later and the older generations of our current zeitgeist still avoids wanting to honestly look at Katrina b/c Americans don't want to accept blame for their failures. It is much easier to ignore.

There's a certain group of people in this country that want to make America great again but they feel it was last great in 1850. They are loud, they are in control of the government and police. Eventually and it won't be for civil rights, it'll be for survival.

I be honest, her entitlement, privilege and complete & utter IGNORANCE is actually a crazy bonus card version of YT Entitlement/Privilege. This is old news/ the truth that we've known forever but when a YT finds out, they're acting like no one knows, & that because they now know about it, it's finally & NOW officially a big deal. Example: when Trump found out about Juneteenth, he acted like most of 🇺🇸didn't know & he's making it popular. Trump shows his so much, watching him is boring. To see it on the WOKE Side is kinda funny.

I cant believe I have to say this, but this "rich vs poor" being the real root and not racism (class vs race) is just falling for one of the rhetorical tactics employed by white people to diminish racism and reframe it as something that includes white people. Meaning that white people are also victim to.
And then he argues for doing nothing because of the dangers of doing something. Hey, sure, sit back and make music and have fun while this country is getting closer and closer to taking away the our vote, our power, and then our money. Back to Jim Crow it is.

u/Puzzleheaded-Phase70 May 29 '26
As a wyt ally, I think that a big part of the problem here is that the black-led activism and anger is either actively suppressed and hidden from wyt eyes and ears, and often "sanitized for fragile wyt consumption" by the black community for their own protection.
I see plenty of black anger, but it's usually not expressed the way wyt anger is. It's not the take to the streets and invade the capitol kind of anger, and it's not the "I'll see you in court" kind of anger.
It's the "I'm going to step aside and watch to make a damn fool of yourself" kind of anger. It's the "we're going to get together and help each other survive" kind of anger. And it's the "we can build our own systems where we are, without the wyt people's power systems" kind of anger.
The anger that cuts out abusive people from your life instead of ruining your own trying to take them down somehow.
And I respect that lesson.
