I am tired of hearing about how the poor black people should get the funding because they are poor and minority. Hello!!! I am a poor white girl with no job myself. How am I supposed to get funding? Should I setup a group of poor white women and claim we are a minority and need special funding for us to "survive"? I am an unemployed white woman who instead of being able to get "assistance" is told to get a husband!!!
You know I am quite sick of hearing that excuse. That is what it is. You give a million dollars to a rich person and a million to a poor person. A year later the rich person will still be rich and the poor person will be broke and asking for a hand for help. Claiming I was a minority and wasn't educated like the rich man was. BS!!! If you want money, you go and get money!!! If you can't handle money, you lose money. End of story!!!
Our society tells us that poor people always need help and to take away things from the rich. What if that just isn't true? What if society has it wrong? I say the assistance they get should be in the form of giving low rate loans and supplying food. There is no reason why the reconstruction of the homes/businesses can't be handled by the victims themselves. Why do we the tax payers need to pay someone else to rebuild homes? There are soo many people displaced but it does NOT make them helpless. We are getting to the point in this disaster that these people are no longer victims but SURVIVORS. Let's us start treating them that way!!! No matter what color or type of pay they ever received!!!!
